For more than two decades, Eamon Harkin has helped shape New York’s communal pulse. As a founder of Mister Saturday Night, Mister Sunday, Planetarium, and Nowadays, he’s created and DJ'ed in spaces where dance, listening, and connection blur into something deeper — places where people come together to make sense of the world through sound.
On his new album, "The Place Where We Live", Harkin turns that lens inward. Drawing on 25 years as a DJ and curator, he moves between house, techno, and ambient currents with a sense of stillness and searching. The result is a record that feels both physical and introspective — the sound of the dancefloor seen through memory.
The title comes from psychoanalyst D.W. Winnicott’s idea of 'the place where we live,' the psychic space between the inner and outer world — where play, art, and culture help us build meaning. For Harkin, an Irish immigrant long settled in another land, that idea resonates both philosophically and personally. "The Place Where We Live" captures the tension and beauty of the pulse of the club and the quiet of reflection — an album about belonging, transition, and the quiet resonance of finding home somewhere in between.

STAFF COMMENTS
Matt says: Alluring EP of deep house and sensual moods from the Mister Saturday Night main man. A lot like Pete Blaker's recent effort; it's not strictly a house-by-numbers affair, featuring instrumentation and sounds you wouldn't normally find on such a project. A proper curio. Defo worth a ch-ch-check!TRACK LISTING
