What started as a casual Madchester session to nod to Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield (Stone Roses & Primal Scream) slipped fast into a full psychedelic plunge through Andrew Weatherall’s heaviest basslines, dubbed-out shadows, and Factory-coded deep cuts. A detour that became the destination — the Manchester Effect in full flight.
This mix moves through the key zones that shaped the city’s sound:
the Madchester pulse, the Haçienda haze, the crossover where indie psychedelia, rave pressure, and low-slung groove blur into one continuum.
The current that carried Manchester from rehearsal rooms to warehouse floors and into club culture’s long memory.

Velvet vibes. Open invite.
Slip into something sinful and press play.
You’re about to be seduced by the ultimate Ibiza mixtape — a sensual, sweat-slicked journey through three decadent decades of dancefloor ecstasy. From the velvet grooves of the '80s, the hypnotic pulse of the '90s, to the euphoric highs of the 2000s… this isn’t just a mix. It’s foreplay for your soul.
We open with Jamiroquai’s Space Cowboy (David Morales Mix), a slow burn that melts into the lush heat of FPI Project’s Rich in Paradise. From there, it’s pure hedonism: Masters At Work, Full Intention, Soulsearcher, and that glorious Spiller x Sophie Ellis-Bextor tease that made the world fall in love on a dancefloor.
Every beat, every remix, every bassline is dripping in desire — from the sweet ache of Show Me Love to the deep, body-moving throb of Deep Inside and the glitter-soaked rush of Groovejet.
And just when you think you've had enough...
You’re hit with the finale: "Italian Piano Banger (Jazz Hand’s Extended Mix)” — my unreleased love letter to ‘90s euphoria. Think laser lights, lifted hands, and pure unfiltered joy.
This is your golden hour. Your afterparty fantasy.
Let go. Turn it up. And lose yourself in the decadence.
