Latenight Society Interview
Ahead of their debut Lost My Dog release ‘Do It Right’ we catch up with Romano Arcaini and Jason Leva (aka Latenight Society).
Thanks for talking to Lost My Dog. Where are you and what are you up to?
At the moment we are in the studio putting some final touches on a new project.
You’ve released some fantastic music on some great labels. Which releases stand out most for you?
The one that stands out the most is probably our first record together which was on Detour recordings in 2005… this session was particularly fun since we had our good friend and very talented musician Julio Gonzalez in the studio jamming out with us. Another memorable track of ours is Down For It, released on San Fran’s famed Amenti Music. It was an honor to collaborate with Diz on this song.
What’s makes your Latenight Society productions different then others ?
We try not to do the same thing twice. We let the music speak for itself.
Tell us a bit about your ‘Do It Right’ release
This is a perfect example of our changing style.Do It Right is a really deep track, while most of our earlier recordings are a bit more funky. Expect to hear alot more of this sound from us in the future.
You’ve DJd all over the UK and Europe – which are your favourite party cities?
Belgium hands down was the best, especially Ghent & Pecq. Amsterdam and Rotterdam have always been fun as well.
Which other producers are you digging right now?
We are both really into deep stuff right now, some producers we are into right now are The Timewriter, Afrilounge, Neighbour, Roberto Rodriguez, Nacho Marco, Milton Jackson and Kink.
You run your own label Tight Recordings? How are things going with that?
We just dropped our 13th release, Back2Back by Kirby featuring a really stellar mix by Canada’s own Neighbour. We are taking the winter off and coming back strong in the spring…
