Due to our music, we have already travelled to Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Lebanon and Latin America. We have explored the past and the future. But there was one destination we simply couldn't reach on our own: space.
So we invited David Harks — yes, the very same one you met in our previous mixes — the English singer, songwriter and producer based in Berlin, to take us there. Safe to say, he rather exceeded expectations.
His mid-tempo cosmic mix, Interplanetary Lovers, blends Balearic warmth with Berlin's electronic cool, creating the sort of soundtrack that makes you wonder whether zero gravity might actually have a groove. Turns out, it does.
The journey begins with No Matter Effect – Had to Fall, an atmospheric opener from the mysterious electronic project with something of a cult following. Next comes a fresh rework of a Robert Palmer classic, giving the British music legend's unmistakable style a dancefloor-ready makeover — because even icons deserve a second wind.
Further into orbit you will pass Sunrom – Galaxia, which, true to its name, drifts through cosmic synths and spacious textures, before landing in the warm, hypnotic grooves of George Davis – Gomera, a loving nod to Chicago house. Along the way you will also hear Bryan Ferry, one of Britain's most influential musicians, and Satin Jackets featuring David Harks himself, bringing a touch of polished nu-disco to the voyage.
The trip finishes with Not Your Saints – Seventeen, inspired by Berlin's legendary electronic underground and packed with vintage synths that feel both nostalgic and unmistakably modern.
The whole expedition lasts just over an hour. The return ticket is included.
See you on the moon!
