RECORDS,
ROOFTOP,
AND THE
SLOW HOURS
AFTER
SUNSET.
Low Tide Sessions started as four friends, one borrowed sound system and a car-park roof with a view of the harbour. Eleven editions later it is the same idea, only louder and better lit: we play records while the sun goes down, keep playing while the tide comes in, and stop at one because the neighbours have boats.
The first half of the night is Side A: warm, slow and melodic. Balearic cuts, dub, disco edits, music you can talk over with a drink in your hand. Side B starts at ten, when the guests take over and the dancefloor stops pretending it came for the view.
Everything is vinyl until midnight. Every edition gets a catalogue number, a hand-printed poster and a small run of 12-inch records pressed from the residents' favourite side.
