44BEATZCAST 21:12

From the opening acid surge of “Siela (High Tech Soul Remix)” through the reflective vocals of “Marea (We’ve Lost Dancing)” and “Talk To Me (Dino Lenny & Damon Jee Mix)”, 44BEATZCAST 21:12 kicks off with warm, analogue textures and downtempo groove. Early highlights like “Perdido”, “Superstition” and Max Komodo’s “Funky Beat” layer live bass and filtered disco keys, before the energy lifts in Öwnboss & SEVEK’s “Move Your Body (Extended Mix)” and Joey Chicago’s “The Funk Hustle”.

By thirty minutes in, Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s “Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love)” and Hotswing’s “Bamboleo (Extended Mix)” deliver peak-time diva house, seamlessly handed over to the shadowy synth stabs of “Tainted Love (Jamie Jones 4Z Extended Mix)” and the pounding kicks of “The Age Of Love (Charlotte de Witte & Enrico Sangiuliano Remix)”. Faithless & Maceo Plex ramp up tension with “Insomnia 2021 (Epic Mix)”, paving the way for UMEK’s raw techno attack “Frequency Differ” and Green Velvet’s twisted funk in “Flash (Mixin Marc & Lex Da Funk Remix)”.

The pace remains relentless: Eurythmics’ anthem “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) [Steve Angello Remix]” reimagines an ’80s classic, then Donna Summer’s “I Feel Love” brings euphoric relief. Mantle’s “FOMO” and Dave Spoon’s “Steels (Extended Mix)” push harder, before the vocal-charged energy of “Give It To Me (Full Vocal Mix – Extended)” and Chris Lorenzo’s festival-ready “California Dreamin’ (feat. High Jinx) (Vintage Culture Extended Remix)”.

Mid-set, Anyma’s collaboration “Running” threads ethereal trance layers, NP-Rio’s “Futuro” nods to Italo-house, and Faithless returns in David Guetta’s “God is A DJ”. The ride deepens with DJ Cor Fijneman’s “Jaguar”, E-Dancer’s “Banjo” and the covert Detroit flavour of “Violent Location”. Halo Varga’s “Future (Guy J Remix)” and BT’s “Dreaming (Evolution Mix)” bridge into Richie Hawtin’s minimalist “No Way Back” and Sandhog’s gritty “Helix”.

As night turns early dawn, the mix embraces acid-fuelled funk in Detroit Grand Pubahs’ “Acid Dreams (JamRoc Vocal Tweak Mix)” and Carbon & Lampe’s frantic “Driving Mad”. Tita Lau & James Hype’s “Disconnected (Extended Mix)” and D-Unity’s “Let There Be House” reignite the floor, while Mosley Jr’s “Lasso” and Lil’M & jOk & Niki4’s “Acid Altai” push peak energy. Millero’s “French On Acid” and Kraftwerk’s “La forme (King of the Mountains Mix By Hot Chip)” introduce kraut-techno precision, Miss Kittin & The Hacker’s “1000 Dreams (Maxime Dangles Remix)” offers electroclash glamour, and Coldplay’s “Talk (Thin White Duke Mix)” closes on a melodic, late-night note. Across 167 minutes, this mix balances pumping peaks and thoughtful plateaus, charting four decades of club music with dynamic shifts in style, tempo and mood.
