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.

🌞 Sunset to Sunrise: A Balearic Seduction
From the golden hour to the velvet-dark hush of morning, this mix flows like warm honey—slow, sensual, and undeniably magnetic.
We open with Michael Gray’s “The Weekend” (Sultra Radio Mix)—a smooth operator that’s racked up major plays for good reason. It’s soulful, elegant, and oozes weekend temptation. From there, the Riva Starr remix of Spiller’s “Groovejet” (ft. Sophie Ellis-Bextor) brings that iconic question back to life: “If this ain’t love…”—and your body already knows the answer.
💿 Highlighted Remixes & Key Tracks
• Makèz – “Holy Sun (Retromigration Remix – Edit)” → A euphoric Balearic gem. Gently psychedelic, endlessly replayable.
• Hallex M & Atjazz – “Day by Day (Atjazz Remix Edit)” → Jazzed-up deep house silk. One of the top replayed tracks.
• Ivan Dorn – “Love Could Be (Soulful House Remaster)” → Midnight funk with irresistible swing.
• Diephuis x Siedah Garrett – “Fever” (Ft. Sugarhill Gang & Grandmaster Melle Mel) → Heat. Sass. Seduction.
• Opolopo Remix of “I Need Your Lovin’” by Spencer Morales x Tasha LaRae → Pure soulful uplift, late-night anthem vibes.
• T-Groove & Jet Boot Jack – “Let’s Feel Good” → Big on feel-good energy. Pure disco delight.
From Zora’s Moon (Natasha Diggs Remix)—which glows like neon on midnight skin—to Michael Diamond’s “You Like Jazz?” (a groove that seduces with a wink), each transition was designed for one thing: pleasure.
This is a mix for dimmed lights, silk robes, and bare skin. For women who know their worth, and men who know when to follow their lead. You won’t need to skip a single track.
🕯️ Sultry. Balearic. Quietly confident. Like chocolate melting in your palm.
💋 Best experienced somewhere between a rooftop terrace and someone’s arms.
🎧 Use with intent… or just let the music do the seducing.
Press play. Let go. Let the heat in.
→ Save it. Share it. Seduce with it.
