Vangelis - Rachels Song (Bladerunner)
“My most played sunset track from my all time favourite movie. Vangelis' original score is a masterpiece “
Orbital - Belfast
“A timeless classic from early 90's which hits the spot every time. Also named after my hometown”
Herb Albert - Rotation (DJ Harri Edit)
“If there's one track that encapsulates the term Balearic then it's this”
Coldcut - Autumn Leaves (Irresistible Force Mix Trip 2)
“Beautiful vocals and the epic string section make's it sunset classic. Probably more appropriate for my end of summer sunsets”
Bonobo - Eyesdown Featuring Andreya Triana
“One of my favourite artists to come out of electronica in recent years and his warm soulful sound is perfect for sundowners”
London Grammar - Hey Now (Original Mix)
“Always goes down well with the girls and I never get tired of listening to it. Amazing song for sungazing”
John Barry - I Had A Farm In Africa
“This one's a real tear jerker. Taken from the movie ‘Out Of Africa' and not a hint of electronica, just pure orchestral bliss.”
Julie Cruise - Falling
“Playing sunsets can be slightly nerve-racking at times especially the time when Frankie Knuckles was at Mambo in 2005. Luckily my timing was good and I even got a round of applause from the man himself”
Âme - Doldrums
“A perfect sunset track, no words needed just listen”
Robert Miles - Children (Dee's Sunset Edit)
“A special sunset edit from me as a tribute to the late Robert Miles. I played it as the first sunset track of the summer last month at the Cafe Mambo opening which really struck a chord with everyone around the world”
