Beneath the surface.\n\nNot everything worth listening to makes it onto the charts. Not every good record gets the recognition it deserves. And not every deep-house journey needs to follow a familiar route.\n\nWelcome to AFTER DARK.\n\nThis is where I take things a little further underground. No commercial expectations. No chasing what's trending. No predetermined tracklist.\n\nJust me, the music, and whatever feels right in that moment. I've always believed there's more to deep house than the records everybody knows. Beyond the obvious selections, there's an entire world of producers, remixes, forgotten gems and sounds that deserve a little more attention.\n\nThat's the space I want to explore with this series.\n\nTHE FIRST SESSION\n\nFor this opening edition, I found myself drawn towards the musical worlds of Jimpster, Atjazz and Fred Everything.\n\nThree artists whose contributions to deep house speak for themselves. But this isn't a greatest-hits compilation or some carefully calculated tribute.\n\nIt's an exploration of their sounds, their collaborations, their interpretations of other artists' work, and the musical connections that emerge along the way. We open with S\u00e9bastien Tellier's La Ritournelle (Sven L\u00f8ve & Catalan FC Remix).\n\nNot your conventional underground deep-house opener. And that's precisely the point.\n\nFrom there, the journey moves through Seal, Martin Iveson, St Germain, Suges, Yukihiro Fukutomi, Karol XVII & MB Valence, Dominique Fils-Aim\u00e9, Franck Roger, Rona Ray and more.\n\nDifferent eras. Different influences. Different expressions of the same culture.\n\nSome records are soulful. Some are jazzy. Some are stripped back, dubby and hypnotic. Others simply have that unmistakable groove that makes you stop whatever you're doing and listen.\n\nAnd somewhere in between, the music finds its own direction.\n\nNO SCRIPT. JUST THE RECORDS.\n\nHere's the thing about how I play. I don't plan my track lists. I never have. I might have an idea of the sound I want to explore, but once the recording starts, I follow what I'm hearing.\n\nOne record suggests another. A bassline reminds me of something sitting in the collection. A particular groove opens the door to a completely different direction.\n\nSometimes the connection makes perfect sense. Sometimes it catches even me by surprise. And that's the beauty of it. Looking back at this recording, I find it interesting how the music of Jimpster, Atjazz and Fred Everything keeps crossing paths throughout the session.\n\nEven Martin Iveson's Thought B and Thought A find themselves separated across the journey. None of that came from sitting down and mapping out a perfect sequence.\n\nIt happened because the records felt right. That's selecting. That's digging. That's trusting the music.\n\nWHAT AFTER DARK REPRESENTS\n\nLet's get one thing straight. After Dark isn't necessarily about playing dark music. It's about digging deeper. Exploring the underground side of house without worrying about whether a record is popular, recognizable or commercially appealing.\n\nIt's about those late-night listening sessions when you discover something and immediately wonder how you've managed to miss it all these years.\n\nThe overlooked remix.\n\nThe obscure release.\n\nThe producer whose work deserves more ears.\n\nThe record that doesn't need a massive breakdown or a familiar vocal to make an impression.\n\nJust proper music.\n\nAnd I'm not pretending every record in this session is unknown. Some of the artists are familiar names. But familiarity doesn't automatically make a record commercial, and obscurity doesn't automatically make it good.\n\nWhat matters is the selection. The feeling. The groove. And whether the music has something to say. This is the beginning of a new series, and I have no intention of putting it inside a box.\n\nSome sessions will be rawer. Others more soulful, dubby, jazzy or hypnotic. The only constant will be the willingness to explore. If you came looking for the obvious, you might find yourself somewhere unexpected.\n\nAnd maybe that's exactly where you need to be.\n\nAFTER DARK 001.\n\nFourteen selections. One uninterrupted journey. No predetermined destination. Just the freedom to follow the groove. Welcome beneath the surface.\n\nObi-Wan S.A.\n\nDeeper. Soulful. Timeless.\n\nTRACKLIST\n\n01.
