From marathon sets in Barnsley to some of the world’s biggest dancefloors, Hot Since 82 has spent more than two decades finding ways to keep people moving. The DJ and producer, otherwise known as Daley Padley, has become a familiar face everywhere from Glastonbury to Ibiza, where he played more than ten dates this summer. With his latest album, Obsessions, released in September, there’s been plenty to keep him busy.

But first, a barbecue. In Mendoza, Argentina, Daley gets behind the grill in the foothills of the Andes, makes time for a glass of the region’s famous Malbec and takes in the mountain views before heading to Las Palapas. Touring doesn’t always leave much room for exploring, so he’s given himself a few days to enjoy this stop properly. Between the food, the scenery and meeting the fans, there’s as much to remember away from the decks as behind them.

For this edition of On Tour With, Hot Since 82 shares his Mendoza photo diary, from the calm before the show to getting the party started.

BBQ in Argentina

It was truly amazing being able to cook in the foothills of the Andes in Mendoza, Argentina. I love my food so this was a special moment.

Winery in Mendoza

Mendoza is Malbec country, so would’ve been rude not to really!

The calm before the storm. Always good to chill out and soak in the surroundings before playing a show, especially in such a stunning location.

Scenery shot

I’m very lucky to be able to tour this world. I try to explore the beautiful places I visit whenever I can, but I don’t always have a moment to stop and appreciate it all. This time I spent a few days in Mendoza to be able to do just that.

It’s really important for me to show love to my fans – I wouldn’t be where I am now without them.

Walking over to get the party started

Getting to meet and interact with fans is the best way to thank them!
