Watch Hot Since 82 Perform Live DJ Set from a Hot Air Balloon

Hot off the heels of his scintillating Recovery LP, house music vet Hot Since 82 has taken his album to new heights. You’ll understand that pun in a moment.

In celebration of Recovery, the renowned British dance music producer recently filmed a live performance from a hot air balloon. After saying what we all would say before stepping into a hot air balloon (“I hope I don’t fall out”), Hot Since 82 flung headlong into a his set, a hypnotic song-cycle of Recovery cuts. Floating above rolling hills and and sparkling, scenic rural setting, he played out a DJ set consisting of only tracks from his new album, further driving home the notion that it is one cohesive narrative.
