Midnight in a Perfect World: Eli Escobar

NYC's Eli Escobar has been a consistent force within the electronic and club scene for over 20 years as a revered DJ, producer, and label runner. Originally bubbling up in the 2000s with hotly-tipped singles and timeless bootleg remixes, Eli's been unleashing a steady stream of singles, EPs, remixes, and albums that showcase his magnetic take on house and disco, as well as an exploratory streak that sometimes veers into atmospheric and experimental terrain. He's currently gearing up to release his new full-length album The Airplane Album on October 25th via his own label, Night People NYC.

For his exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World, Eli dives right into a magnetic dancefloor mix that blurs the lines between house, disco, electro, cold wave, and more. He shares, “I’ve been way more into dance music recently that doesn’t fit neatly into a house disco or techno space. It can be little of all those things and much more. These are songs currently in rotation for me.”
