It is officially cold today. Well, it's still above zero degrees Celsius, but it still feels cold. I am looking forward to the day when temperatures are high enough, to loose many layers of clothing, and start walking around in t-shirt and shorts. Or even go bananas and wear only swim wear, like the people doing in the image above. Not the most trendiest of swim wear, but still looking happy, and slightly tanned. Looks like the swinging 60s or 70s? But that's the perfect temperature. Just imagine the sunshine hitting your skin right now....
And let's try to recreate that feeling. I found this mix a couple of weeks ago, and it's funky as hell! No joke, this isn't what I was expecting. This is a proper Disco set with some serious anthems, and they remind me of being on holiday, at a beach resort, dancing the night away. Or even during the day, being played at the pool bar, as background music. Hell, even the club me and the wife visited 2 years in a row had this kind of music on. When I say club, I mean cocktail bar. But you catch my drift.
Adrian Van Alst made this mix. And it's as sexy as you imagined it to be. The image does this mix justice. This is what I imagine clubbing in the sun will look like in the Summer of 2025. Global warming will give us more reason to dance in the sun. (it isn't great, I am fully aware, but at least it's got one positive side effect).
I am a lover of Disco, but not an expert. So when this mix was uploaded, it did not come with a tracklist, but thankfully, Adrian made sure it was attached to this mix. And I recognise not one artist in this mix. But it's not about who made it, it's all about what the track does to me!

This is a very sexy looking tracklist, I do believe that. Even though I'm not familiar with any of the artists. But what this music did to me over the last 2 weeks is insane.
This was dropped just before NYE, so it's still a 2024 mix. But it is going to be a very important mix for us all in 2025. The Summer is still looking miles away, so we need something to keep us entertained during those cold months. We need it right now, so let's enjoy this as much as possible, so when the sun decides to come out and play, we are ready for it. I am ready for it right now, but it's too shy to come out.
I did feel hotter whilst listening to this mix. Very hot, not so much sexy. Too many layers of clothing on. But still very hot. Not just because the central heating was on, but because the music was very sensual. And the tracks all works. Literally all of them work well together.
This mix is an hour and 22 minutes long, and during each playthrough, I felt invigorated. I felt happier, more content. This mix is a solid 10 out of 10 when it comes to Summer vibes.
Adrian Van Aalst, your mix is dope as hell! And I really enjoyed it. This will be on repeat until the Summer hits us. Just a few more months, we can do it! At least we've got this mix to keep us warm, and tidy!
