The club has a new record on the shelf: Late Night Jukebox, thirteen tracks for the hour when the pool lights are still on but almost everyone has gone home. It lives on our SoundCloud, and it plays exactly like the name promises - like an old jukebox in an empty diner, working through its favorites one coin at a time.

What's inside

This one reaches further back than our usual 1986. It starts in the crooner era and slow-dances its way toward the disco ball:

1. Frank Sinatra - Fly Me to the Moon
2. Harry James - It's Been a Long, Long Time
3. Paul Anka - Put Your Head on My Shoulder
4. Frank Sinatra - L.O.V.E.
5. Elvis Presley - All Shook Up
6. Roy Orbison - Oh, Pretty Woman
7. Billy Joel - Uptown Girl
8. Michael Jackson - They Don't Care About Us
9. Glenn Miller - In the Mood
10. Bee Gees - Stayin' Alive
11. Danny & The Juniors - At the Hop
12. ABBA - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!
13. The Beach Boys - Barbara Ann

Why these thirteen

Every jukebox has a personality, and this one is a romantic with a restless foot. It opens soft - Sinatra, Harry James, Paul Anka - the kind of songs that belong to a slow dance on a terrazzo floor. Then Elvis shakes the room awake, Roy Orbison walks in, and by the time the Bee Gees and ABBA take over, the empty diner has turned into a dance floor again.

It's not a decade, it's a mood: neon buzzing over the counter, one last milkshake, nobody checking the clock. The kind of set a jukebox would choose for itself if you left it alone after midnight.

How to listen

Press play on SoundCloud, or better - step into the club, open the Radio, and let the night run its course. The jukebox doesn't take requests. It already knows what you need.
