San Francisco's Nick Monaco brings his deep experience within his city's DJ/nightlife culture into his own carefree, cosmic experimental pop sound, recently found on his album Half Naked for Soul Clap's Crew Love label. With his teenage years spent throwing all-night parties and diving deep into turntablism, he's known for bringing a loose and groovy vibe through his DJ sets, lush studio albums, as well as his crafty remixes. His exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World proudly showcases a healthy dose of his latest songs, a few stellar unreleased tracks, and also sneaks in selections from new and old influential favorites, such as Sparks, PillowTalk, and Midnight Magic.
