Dearest Listener, This month's episode was recorded in Brooklyn NY after travel to Bejuco, Costa Rica and Houston, Texas. Being closer to the equator made summer feel closer than it is, but still, at least this is the first DL episode I’m dropping with no snow on the ground. The winter to spring sound is in full effect on this one. The show starts off with new music from Ego Ella May, Ragz Originalle, Nubian Twist and Modha.&nbsp; With each releasing a new album for 2026, I love how the music from each artist sounds open yet danceable. I don’t always give enough credit to how much jazz has shaped my ear, but certain rhythms and pockets in electronic music always bring me back to it. I felt that especially in the opening stretch, and again playing Moonlight from Shy One &amp; Kawnini by Ewa Williams.&nbsp; I have a few gigs coming up, so you can hear me getting back in the mood to DJ outside again in the later part of the episode. I took a detour into what I had planned and decided to mix a few vinyls I picked up on my travels. Not a lot of people know, but I’ve been really into vinyl for the past year or so. It felt really rewarding to give the disks I’ve been collecting some airtime, mixing them live and having a nice dance in the sunlight of my living room.&nbsp; Until next month, D&nbsp;_____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Streaming Link |&nbsp;<a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://soundcloud.com/justdarien/desire-lines-episode-003/s-Q1xe0dgppJs?si=1ffc46608ceb446dae2a4a224656ad4f&amp;utm_source=clipboard&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_campaign=social_sharing">https://soundcloud.com/justdarien/desire-lines-episode-002/s-SoZeZFWVETz?si=081c0d67e28844209bca371e6925fb99&amp;utm_source=clipboard&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm</a>_

Dearest Listener,&nbsp; Episode 002 was recorded on February, 21st 2025 in Brooklyn, NYC. It was the day before this blizzard came, seemingly, out of nowhere! Between work and the work, this month has been one thing after another. I’ve barely been able to catch my breath, which in a way became the impetus for this episode. The selection is inspired by the slower moments that have replenished my vitality: the awe of seeing the Hudson River frozen over, starting to notice the faint stench of spring in the air, the sun staying out a little longer each day.&nbsp; I’ve gone one deeper into some of the trickpony energy from the last episode, but more on the jazzy// ambient tip, with songs like Rio Inverso by Fabiano Do Nascimento. I’ve also been listening to BBE's new compilation called Naive Melodies a lot, so it was hard to choose what song to play, but for this episode, I chose Born Under (More) Punches by Theo Croker. Playing that one reminded me of the importance of breath, which led me back to a Polygonia song called Essential Breath that was consistently in my rotation last year.&nbsp; In the later half of the show, playing Selfish, off the New Charlotte Day Wilson EP,&nbsp; another memory took hold: one of driving around listening to Little Simz and Cleo Sol’s version of a song by that same name. Otherwise, scattered throughout the show are some thoughts on love, beauty and getting older, choreographed through the lovely Jill Scott, Yaya Bey, Gene Tellum (Love Injection Records!) and Chaka Kahn to name a few.&nbsp; Special shout to Riani and Bardi for the samples and guest selects.&nbsp; Until next month, D_____________________________________________________________________________________________________Streaming Link |&nbsp;<a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://soundcloud.com/justdarien/desire-lines-episode-002/s-SoZeZFWVETz?si=081c0d67e28844209bca371e6925fb99&amp;utm_source=clipboard&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_">https://soundcloud.com/justdarien/desire-lines-episode-002/s-SoZeZFWVETz?si=081c0d67e28844209bca371e6925fb99&amp;utm_source=clipboard&amp;utm_medium=text&amp;utm_</a>
