Congratulations—you made it through another day. And what better reward than trading the doomscroll for a crisp mojito, a wide horizon, and the golden glow of sunset-soaked soundscapes? Welcome to Sunset Manifesto Volume Two, a lovingly curated sonic retreat courtesy of DJ Supermarkt. Out now, this second installment continues the journey through timeless, mid-tempo magic—equal parts nostalgic and forward-thinking, equal parts dream and dancefloor.
Set against the imaginary but oh-so-vivid backdrop of 1976 Los Angeles—by way of Mitte, Berlin—Volume Two leans deep into the smooth. Not smooth as a genre, but as a philosophy. As the world yells louder, Sunset Manifesto doubles down on mellow: no hard edges, just clean grooves, wistful melodies, and basslines that walk with swagger and ease.
The Tracklist: A Cross-Continental Conversation in Sound
The lineup is an international who's-who of the nu-smooth, après-disco scene. It opens with the extended summer breeze of Lovetempo’s “Same Ole Love (365 Days A Year)”, followed by the soft-funk shimmer of Nicholas Cangiano’s “Falling Behind.” From there, the compilation floats into the dubby, sunset-drenched remix of “Ventura Highway Blues” by Poolside (reworked with magic by Monsieur van Pratt).
Things only get silkier. PREP and Eddie Chacon team up for “Call It” (Turbotito Remix)—a track equal parts sultry and sincere, while Moi Je’s “Découvre” adds a French electro-pop breeze. Turbotito returns solo with “Time Starts Moving Slow,” a track so mellow it practically glides across the pool.
You’ll hear the rich harmonies of Young Gun Silver Fox’s “Curious,” the disco-funk pep of B.U.M.P.’s “Give A Little Love A Lot,” and the nostalgic head-nod of Woolfy vs Projections’ “Seeds.” And if you're looking for full retro-sci-fi dancefloor bliss, 1-900’s “Breakin’ 84” delivers.
Rounding out the set: Goodvibes Sound’s irresistible “Stay For One More Night” (Matt Hughes Remix), Moods & Nic Hanson’s gliding “Music Never Looked So Good,” the twilight romance of BowAsWell’s “Over When The Night Is Gone,” and finally, the lush remix of Joel Sarakula’s “Hands of Love” by Phil Martin and Kimchii’s tropical-laced slow-jam “Do You Ever.”
A Manifesto in Motion
This isn’t just another compilation—it’s a state of mind. Sunset Manifesto Volume Two avoids nostalgia traps while embracing half a century of dance music DNA. There are nods to romantic slo-mo house, French disco filters, Bernard Edwards’ signature basslines, and yes, even a Robbie Nevil-style shrug of cool. It’s music that understands history but plays in the now.
You won’t find irony or kitsch here—only warmth, generosity, and feel-good escapism crafted by some of the most innovative producers from around the world: France, Sweden, Mexico, the UK, Canada, China, and beyond. Their shared language is groove; their common aim, elevation.
For Fans Of:
Khruangbin, Poolside, Jungle, Daft Punk’s Discovery era, Yuksek, and those smooth yacht disco edits that magically turn your living room into a 1978 rooftop party.
So cue it up. Let Sunset Manifesto Volume Two be the soundtrack to your slow dances, cocktail hours, moonlit drives, and everything in between. Because in a world that keeps rushing, this record insists: the smooth will endure.
