There was a notable Balearic/house/rare groove dj named Jose Padilla that became famous in the late 80s and the 90s for sets he played at a famous outdoor (mostly) venue in Ibiza called Cafe Del Mar. He went on to do a bunch of mix cds under that name that used to be a big deal. He was particularly known for doing sunset mixes, where the mix seemed timed in almost an other worldly sense to the beautiful island sunsets. I read an interview with him once where he told people how he did it. Apparently he learned over time that he could hold his hand up to the horizon and each finger was about 5 minutes of time in terms of the sun coming down. So, he could build into something over about 20 minutes and time the transition into the more heavy nighttime party breakdown to more or less coincide exactly with the transition of day to night. People would go bananas. A lot of people think mixing is just pushing buttons and today it largely is that. However, there was so much craft and heavy, crazy vibes that came before that will be forgotten before too much longer. Everytime I see a sunset I test this method out and it pretty much works, just a really cool anecdote.
Holy Forza build 😳
Who looked at a Lamborghini Gallardo and thought, "yeah, this needs to go rallying" 😭
Seeing a Gallardo getting thrown around on dirt just feels wrong in the best possible way. You expect that V10 to be screaming down some smooth road, not kicking up mud and sliding through rally stages.
And honestly, that’s what makes weird builds like this so cool. Take a car that was never meant to live this life, change the setup, give it some proper rally treatment and suddenly it makes way more sense than it should.
