OK, moment of honesty – due to a misunderstanding at the Gondola station, I missed a large chunk of Nao&Qmico’s early-riser set up at Day Dreaming And Silent Breeze. By the time I finally got in a car, I was hot and a little peeved at the whole situation. Suffice to say, I wasn’t in a super great mood.

The chunk of Nao&Qmico’s set I did happen upon helped cool me down quite a bit. It was a simple set-up – the two DJs stood in a booth spinning tunes to a crowd that was more dreary-eyed than dance frenzied. Appropriately, they played downtempo beats aimed at helping everyone chill out. The music they played was very icy, resting on repetitive synthesizer patterns and the occasional slowed-down vocal sample. It might even have sounded better playing late at night. But it did it’s job when many still wanted shut eye. I couldn’t have been happier to hear it.
