What I’ve Been Up To (Besides Writing Substack Essays)
A catch-up for new folks, old friends, and anyone curious what lovetempo’s been cooking lately.
Last week’s post about the Rapture tour brought in a lot of new folks—hi, welcome 👋—and it reminded me there’s been a bunch of new music and performances that I’ve failed to mention here. So here’s a quick catch-up on some recent lovetempo highlights, in case you’re curious or want something new to listen to.
🎵 New Music + Remixes
“Same Ole Love (Extended Summer Breeze Mix)”
I released a dreamy, DJ-friendly extended mix of Prince Terrence and my cover of Anita Baker’s 80s R&B classic on Too Slow To Disco’s new The Sunset Manifesto Vol. 2 compilation. Listen hereRemix for GIFT – “Destination Illumination”
Had the pleasure of flipping one of my favorite tracks from NYC indie darlings GIFT’s album Illuminator into a hypnotic club version for Captured Tracks. Check it outLatest EP: Live Or Die By Love

✨ If You’re New to lovetempo…
I write and produce music under the name lovetempo. Think: soul, disco, house, a touch of saudade sentimentality, and a deep love for the dancefloor.
Here are a few good places to start:
Single: “Maybe In Another Life” – a yearning slow burner (a slow yearner?) caught between memory and desire Listen
EP: But I Do (Extended) – a jazzy, body-moving house original with a tender core—and remix love from Crackazat, Daisybelle, and From House To Disco Listen | Get the vinyl
EP: lovetempo – my first EP, released on Razor-N-Tape Listen | Get the vinyl
More soon. Thanks for reading, and thanks for listening. ❤️
Love(tempo),
Mattie
