A journey back to the nights I spent behind the decks in Rio de Janeiro and later in Porto Seguro, Bahia. In the 90s, opening a dance floor was almost a ritual. The club was already packed, rotating PAR 36 lighting fixtures moved in darkness, smoke filled the room and the crowd waited for the first beams of light. BEFORE MIDNIGHT VOL. 1 recreates that exact moment, starting at lower BPMs with 12-inch versions, extended mixes, remixes and special editions from the imported vinyl records we used to play. This is where the night begins. In the next volumes, the BPM rises, the energy builds and the story continues. It was time to open the dance floor.
