January 2026 DJ Smiles launches the new year with Soulful Things, a deeply personal project that sets the tone for 2026 with warmth, groove, and emotional honesty. Rooted in classic soul, disco, and house influences, Soulful Things is less about chasing trends and more about reconnecting with feeling music made for movement, reflection, and human connection. After a year marked by transition, growth, and renewed focus, Soulful Things represents a reset. The project leans into rich basslines, uplifting chords, and timeless rhythms, blending dancefloor functionality with a heartfelt spirit. It’s music designed for late-night sessions, sunrise sets, and moments where the line between dancer and listener disappears.
