My newest episode of Getting Warmer for NTS Radio is a summer disco special, in the vein of previous years. It also marks my five year anniversary of NTS residency, which has easily been one of the most cool and rewarding experiences of my life, so I’m really appreciative of everyone who has listened.
To me disco is the perennially perfect soundtrack to sweaty season: great for car rides, barbecues, beach trips, rooftops, and anywhere there might be dancing. It is also probably my favorite genre, a drug in music form–just pure euphoria, which I think is something many of us in the states are feeling something adjacent to at the moment. Whatever your life looks like these days, I hope this helps provide a moment of joy. If you like it, you can download an mp3 version here. Flyer photo by Eric Epstein.

Thank you for your tracks. Such great sounds. So many surprises. Hugely appreciated by this digital nomad currently trapped in Queensland, a relative cultural wasteland. Please continue sharing. I for one will listen to this.
