Midnight Drive

Wassup pitcrew,

Strap in and visor down—September's mix is a sleek, stealthy cruiser built for after-dark drives and high-stakes horizons. We've left the speedway and hit the open grid: neon deserts, noir cities, and endless coastlines where danger hums in the distance and synths shimmer like heatwaves.

This month's ride is cool...

Hey pit crew,

Fire up the engine—August has landed, and this month's mix is a midnight machine built for speed, style, and synth-fueled escape. We're shifting gears again on the sonic speedway, where every curve tells a story and every beat leaves rubber on the track.

This episode isn't just a mix—it's a full-throttle journey th...

Hey pit crew,

This is your driver speaking—revved up and coming in hot from the cockpit of another adrenaline-fueled month on the sonic midnight speedway. July's playlist is all about that full-throttle feeling: the rush of the straightaway, the tight tension of a hairpin turn, and the roar of the crowd (or maybe just your speakers).

Hey there! Your favorite driver is back on his original schedule—first Friday at midnight EDT! Every month, I'm bringing you a fresh recording straight from the new SlyStudios here in Toronto. (Want to see my new soundroom? Check out my Instagram @smoothstranger!)

This month, we're diving deep into the tech and bass-heavy side of house music with a killer 2-hour mix. As always, I've blended it just for you, the one and only SMOOTHS...

The dead of summer is here - thick heatwaves and scattered thunderstorms wash over the GTA and the only things that cut the heat are cold drinks or night drives with the top down! Feeling that summer heat as you fly down a winding rural road is exhilarating and to amplify that feeling you must have the perfect soundtrack! Let's drive into this months mix, starting things off with a fantastic remix of Space Food's Cycle Twice by Kos...

Hot days, cool kids, beautiful sunsets, and long breezy night drives (always with the top down) lasting from dusk until dawn. Yes, summer is finally here!!! The perfect season needs a soundtrack for those long winding roads and I've prepared the perfect mix. Tracks from Biesmans, The Lighting Kids, and New Order with remixes coming from fabulous artists such as Chinaski, Dubfire and Musumechi to name just a few. I invite you to cli...

First I'd like to take the time to thank everyone who came out last month in BC to the Electric Love Pre-Party & Crisco's 40th birthday! That party was lit! The dancefloor was fire and the rest of the lineup absolutely killed it!!! Can't wait to be back in Kamloops to do it again in the near future - stayed tuned on my socials for all my upcoming events.

Onto this months mix - I took a slighly different approach than I normaly do, ...

As the nights slowly get shorter and the days grow warmer, my desire shifts to be behind the wheels of steel driving dancefloors instead of cars on lost highways. My thoughts meander to beach parties, lost parties and boutique festivals with dancefloors ususally under starlit skies. Its these shoulder seasons where the time can't seem to pass fast enough and when I scour my record library for tracks that I think will sound amazing ...

With March coming in a day later this year, we move away from what's been a seasonably mild winter and hopefully into an early Spring! The mild winters have been perfect for those late night cruises where the road is the destination! Clear and crisp nights, weaving down winding roads with the car stereo cranked to a deafening volume - the perfect way to spend your time! An early spring will only bring more of these kind of nights.....

Coming in strong this month at the chilliest time of the year, a new mix of the freshest electro and indie synth heavy tracks mixed by yours truly. This months mix has a defintite focus on the breaks with tracks from artists AFFKT, Renalto Cohen, Jimi Jules and Final Request with remixes by The Organism, Framewerk and Ivory IT. Thanks again for all your support and listens each month, its truly amazing to be able to share these wit...
