| Rui Da Silva may be a common name on summer line-ups in Ibiza but the house DJ spent his formative years performing with one turntable at parties in Portugal, where he helped kick-start the country's dance music scene. | |
| For our summer sessions series, the Kismet Records founder put together a selection of tunes that take him back to his home country, with a mix that focuses on his time living and working in the Portuguese sun. | For our summer sessions series, the Kismet Records founder put together a selection of tunes that take him back to his home country, with a mix that focuses on his time living and working in the Portuguese sun. |
| The mix kicks off with a soft acoustic version of his hit Touch Me, sung by Abigail Bailey. "This is a very special version," he explains. "It shows how great a song is when you can move it between genres and it still holds its appeal. Every time I hear this version it reminds me of when I played it with the sun going down in a beautiful place called Casita Verde." | The mix kicks off with a soft acoustic version of his hit Touch Me, sung by Abigail Bailey.

| The mix also includes tracks by Prince andErotic City, which Rui associates with growing up in Lisbon, while the song Don't Turn It Off by 40 Thieves, "reminds me of a wedding I went to last year in Madeira." | The mix also includes tracks by Prince andErotic City, which Rui associates with growing up in Lisbon, while the song Don't Turn It Off by 40 Thieves, "reminds me of a wedding I went to last year in Madeira." |
| And, of course, there are also tracks for hanging out by the sea: "Sunburst by Lisbon Kid is the perfect soundtrack for summer in the Algarve, sipping ice-cold cerveja and eating gambas," says Rui. | And, of course, there are also tracks for hanging out by the sea: "Sunburst by Lisbon Kid is the perfect soundtrack for summer in the Algarve, sipping ice-cold cerveja and eating gambas," says Rui. |
