“Late Night Dance”
With one ear tuned to the future and the other rooted in the past, Lorenzo Nada, aka Godblesscomputers, continues to craft a musical universe where rhythm and sonic exploration exist in perfect harmony.
His new EP Late Night Dance, released by label Délicieuse Records, is a refined journey through jazz house, deep, and retro vibes - a bold statement that puts human warmth at the heart of electronic music. Five tracks, five emotional states: from the liquid, spiritual synths of Maitri, through the infectious groove of Jazz Feel, to the dreamlike textures of Waving and the bold structures of Night Runners. Every sound is intentional, every cadence lives within a wider sonic landscape. This EP is more than just a collection of songs - it's a sensory experience built on detail, memory, and vision. From his early days beatmaking to the maturity reached after years between Berlin and Italy, Godblesscomputers has turned his love for records into a signature sound - a kind of collective ritual that brings people together under the same heartbeat. They move, with the same feet, to the same rhythm. Always faithful to his roots but unafraid of experimentation, Lorenzo now presents a body of work that sits at the intersection of club culture and introspection, modernity and nostalgia.
We had the chance to sit down with him and talk about this new chapter - his influences, his relationship with sound, and the importance of staying authentic in a landscape that often burns through everything too fast.

Late Night Dance feels like a record where you can almost hear footsteps, twirls, slow dances and thoughts playing softly in the background. Tell us about it - retrace whatever steps you want, or on the count of 4, show us a move. 1, 2, 3, 4…
"I wanted to create an organic body of work that brings together groove, jazz, and those late-night atmospheres that define my sound. These tracks came together over the past year and a half, the result of solo sessions and jams with other musicians. It really represents my journey as a composer: you’ll hear samples from jazz records in my collection, layered rhythms combining samples and live percussion, electric piano chords, analog synths, deep, groovy basslines, chopped vocals from soul/R&B/rap, and the unique touch of some amazing musicians I’ve collaborated with - Gianluca 'Arci', Giovanni Tamburini, Davide Angelica, and Alessio 'Fox'. The photos used for the album are film shots by Antonio Pio Roseti".
I don’t know what you put in this EP, but every time a track begins, it feels like taking a deep breath or sipping from a different cocktail. So the question is - what did you put in there? How did you choose to engage with the genres that found their voice in these tracks?
"Honestly, I think the different shades that make up these tracks came out naturally. When I’m in the studio, I don’t really think too much about 'genres'. I just put in everything I love and try to shape it into something that reflects what I want to express. You’ll probably hear echoes of house, jazz, soul, dub, funk, and hip hop".
Maitri, the opening track, takes its name from a Buddhist concept that encourages kindness and compassion toward others - and toward ourselves. It feels fitting that the EP closes with Self Talk. How did you translate that idea into music? And how, if at all, do you try to live music through that lens?
"Maitri is a deep concept in Buddhism. At its core, it’s about universal love - a heartfelt wish for the happiness of others, whoever they are. I imagined this track as a kind of loving energy flow towards the listener. Self Talk, on the other hand, was written thinking about those one-sided conversations you sometimes have with people - when you try to open up and express something deep, and it just disappears into silence. So in the end, it’s kind of like you’re just talking to yourself".
Night Runners is the jolt of energy in the EP. If you could send us running right now to match the vibe of that track, where would it be?
"Maybe down a boulevard lit by warm lights at night. If you’re in Bologna, definitely down Via Stalingrado!"
You’re known for your deep love of vinyl and sampling. What’s the one record, single, or sample that made you want to build an altar and shout to the sky “God bless it!”?
"It’s funny - the most beautiful samples, the ones that make me say ‘wow!!’, are usually the ones I never use. I feel like I’d ruin them by pulling them out of their original context. One that stands out is a track by Alice Coltrane that opens with a piano phrase that gives me chills every single time. The song is called ‘Turiya & Ramakrishna’, and it’s on her album ‘Ptah, the El Daoud’ released in 1970".
