45/7 #85 ARTIST: NAVE MIGRATORIA

TrackFor the last 10 years I’ve been releasing this project exploring music that evokes spirituality and a connection to nature. Spiritual music that isn’t necessarily religious in nature and also has a wide musical lens, beyond spiritual jazz for example.

Spring in my hometown of Montreal always arrives at least 4 weeks later than almost anywhere in the world. And because of our long grueling winters, when springtime arrives in the city you can feel the effect on everyone’s collective mood. There’s a certain indescribable electricity in the air.

This project is dedicated to my mom.
Dedicated to all of us who have survived the storms.

Pour faire (re)découvrir les trésors de l’âge d’or de la musique éthiopienne (1968-1975), nous avons demandé à plusieurs DJ de puiser dans le catalogue vinyle éthiopiques pour faire un mix présentant leurs titres favoris de la collection. Pour le premier mix de cette nouvelle série, nous avons demandé à un nos DJ préférés et fidèle supporter du label, le belge Lefto early bird de prendre les platines. Et comme toujours ses grandes oreilles et son gout sûr nous régalent pendant ce mix d’une heure

To help you (re)discover the treasures of the golden age of Ethiopian music (1968-1975), we asked a number of DJs to dip into the Ethiopian vinyl catalogue to make a mix featuring their favourite tracks from the collection. For the first mix in this new series, we asked one of our favourite DJs and a loyal supporter of the label, Belgian Lefto early bird, to take to the decks. And as always, his big ears and great taste delight us during this hour-long mix.

Setting Sun: Into Autumn

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

Hailing from South-East France, I have been traveling for more than ten years between Europe and South-America and lived for four years in Bogotá. During my stay, I have been digging vinyl all over the country; from the small hidden stores in the bustling capital to the dusty shops of the vibrant Cali, the world-class city of salsa. My record collection is made up almost entirely of traditional Colombian and Latin music with genres such as cumbia, música del pacifico, afro and salsa.

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

I love this format because it's very easy to transport and very handy when you're playing a set. It also takes more time and you have to concentrate more during the digging part, which makes it very rewarding when you find a gem in a pile of 7" vinyl, especially tracks that were only released in that format. Last but not least, I think the art on the labels is sometimes really beautiful.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... Can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

This mix is the result of a digging trip I did in Mexico in March this year. I visited a lot of local markets and shops during my stay in Mexico City. The mix is made up of some Mexican cumbia from records that used to be in a jukebox, but also from Colombian superstar bands like Los Corraleros de Majagual, Venezuelan legend Pastor Lopez or cumbia master Lisandro Meza. Much of the Colombian and South American music has been released on Mexican labels such as Musart, Peerles and its subsidiary Tucan. So this is a selection of all these 7-inches I came across during my stay. The mix closes with "Como la Flor'' by the Mexican-American queen Selena and a new cumbia version of the famous "Voyage, Voyage" by the producer and record collector Turbo Sonidero from San Jose, California.

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

In 2017, I started organising the Vinileros del Trópico event series with some friends in Bogotá, and since 2019 I've been curating the same event in Berlin at a bar called Rotbart.  The idea behind the event is to bring together different DJs who share the same love for vinyl and Latin music. My next gig will be my debut at the RIAA Bar in Hamburg with my dear friend and Salvadoran selector Radio Vampiro.

5) Top 5 all time fave records

I am not very fond of top lists because I think that your taste in music is constantly evolving and can change over time, but I will give it a try. These records are more like moments in my life from my teenage years until now:

NTM – Supreme NTM
Nicola Cruz – Prender el Alma
Enrique Diaz y Su Conjunto – Tu Sombra
Canalón de Timbiquí – De Mar y Río
Junior y Su Equipo – Ritmo, Vino y Amor

10 Years of Night Time Stories (2013 - 2023)

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

My name is Rhina, born in Germany with Indian roots. I have been collecting music and creating mixtapes since I was a child. My father was a tape collector and I also started as a kid to eagerly wait for my favourite songs on the radio to record them on tape. In my youth I was dedicated to spreading music and burning CD's to the people of my hometown Bonn (mostly 90s Hip-Hop like A Tribe Called Quest etc.). Besides, I have been a dancer since the age of 6 and music has always been an indispensable part of my life. I bought my first records when I was a teenager & always listened to them secretly on the hi-fi stereo system when my parents weren't at home. My collection consists mainly of 70’s Jazz. As I'm a Jazz-Funk and Disco DJ, I often have to remind myself not to buy too much Jazz and also to invest in records that I can play at gigs :D.It's also important for me to buy records in record shops or flea markets rather than online. The story or a favourable price is much more important to me than the quantity of my collection. Hardly anything material makes me as happy as a record or an instrument. Every time I play a record, I feel infinitely blessed. 

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

Every 7“ record I found with my favourite tracks is like gold to me. But the reason why I specifically collect 7" is because I realized, shockingly, that I'm almost not able to carry 2 full record cases. I never thought records could be so heavy *laughing*. 

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

A varied and spontaneous mix of Funk, Brazil, Soul, Jazz-Funk, in between also not perfectly mastered tracks like “Uku Kuut - Funky“ and a final Indian song that I dedicate to my father. 

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

On 23.12.23 I'm playing at Blue Shell Cologne and in 2024 I'm going on tour in Europe again. Plus on platforms like 45/7 Vinyl Club. <3 

5) Top 5 all time fave records

Oh, special question. I don't like rankings that much but hey let me list 5 records from my collection that I love & listen to a lot during the winter season. 

Alice Coltrane & Pharoah Sanders - Journey in Satchidananda 
Bobbi Humphrey- Blacks and Blues 
Hailu Mergia & The Walias Band- Tezeta
Art Farmer – Crawl Space 
Lonnie Liston Smith – Loveland

45/7 #86 ARTIST: RHINA LOVE

Welcome visitor to a brandnew edition of my Quiet Dawn mixtape series focusing on ...Folk Psych Funk.
As the 1960s melted into the ’70s in a colourful swirl of musical possibility, bands and singer-songwriters were experimenting with newfound freedoms. The psychedelic era had brought about many changes and much political upheaval in its wake. Discrete genres became fluid. Many acts fused different sounds together. Rock would meet jazz. Soul was mixed with psychedelia. In this fecund environment the nebulous yet highly prized form of folk funk emerged.

In what’s become a goldmine for crate-digging hip-hop and electronic music producers, keen to find an obscure and funky sample not yet rinsed out or carrying the threat of litigation, folk funk is a blend of acoustic guitars, looping repetitive grooves, jazz touches and full fat drum breaks.

You hear classics of the genre from Kenny Rankin or Terry Callier ,rare new discoveries by Quiet World or Kathi Smith and a killer new psychedelic take on the afro samba classic canto de lemanya. 
Turn on, tune in, drop out.
I wish you  a happy  festive season!  TW
