BSRMIX #127 - Noise In My Head

SPIRITUAL OBJECTS RADIO EPISODE 12 W/ KALEB MARSHALL

The 43rd mix comes from Vio DJ (@vio-deejay)and is a rather melancholic one, perfect for the current short autumn days. Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Curtis, welcome aboard. What have you been up to lately?

VD: Thanks guys, happy to be a part of the series. I’ve been living in Berlin for ten years now and collecting records for about fifteen. I feel like my interests are constantly changing, but I always come back to records. Lately I’ve been reading a lot and spending more time in museums. I’m growing to appreciate the common thread between things and the way my interests intersect.

MFM: How are you connected to the Berlin music scene? 

VD: I used to throw parties in a space that’s future is now sort of uncertain. I would say I met most of my music friends there. I’ve also worked in music most of my life and am currently taking of the shop at ‘Record Culture Magazine’.

MFM: Do you think Berlin is still an interesting and healthy place for music and culture in general?

VD: Good question. I recently read that Berlin has experienced the sharpest increase in rent over the last five years (42% between 2016 and 2021) of all major European cities. This has lead to a sort of cultural homogeny that has largely erased the city’s distinctive character. That said, we still have an amazing sense of community here, where everyone involved in music supports each other; attending each other’s parties, buying each other’s records and generally just hanging out.

MFM: Word on the street is that you're a great digger. What does that mean to you? 

VD: Haha, my reputation precedes me, thanks! I think since letting go a little I’ve realised that the medium is far less important than the way in which it’s presented. Outside of my interest in collecting second hand records, there is a whole world of other types of music that I love. The stuff I listen to at home or on the bus is often completely different to the stuff I play out. I think blurring those lines can reveal a certain truth in what you do, it’s a purer form of expression.

MFM: What does collecting records mean to you these days?

VD: I have to say, almost none of the records I buy can be played (easily) in a club. For a long time, I was buying music almost exclusively for mixes, which is a habit I’m happy to have broken. Now I will only buy things that can’t be heard beyond the format, as well as the occasional LP for home listening.

MFM: Rumour has it that you've got a knack for organising your records :) What is that all about?

VD: Haha, yeah. So last year, during a year-long sabbatical courtesy of the German state, I decided to start a small web store. I wanted the records I was selling to be presentable for home visits and got tired of never being able to find where anything was. I built a shelving unit that could hold the weight, cut dividers and labelled them and found 12-inch-wide crates to sort the records. Everything is now upright and browsable by genre. 

MFM: How do you find new records? Do you have your secret or not so secret methods?

VD: Nowadays I just go to the shop and listen to things that catch my eye. I used to obsess over how ‘known’ stuff was but now I’m mostly not bothered. I see records as a curiosity; those with an interesting back story or aesthetic quirk are always the nicest to own. This is usually what I look for when I’m in the store. The rest always works itself out.

MFM: So, please tell us about your mix! Is there a story behind it? 

VD: It’s for anyone who struggles with the shorter days. Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere always has me feeling pretty melancholic, and I wanted the mix to reflect that. It’s something that you might listen to as it gets dark at 4pm.

Delighted to host Brandon Hocura Influence mix on Oddity Radio for @seance-centre.

Brandon Hocura : Thinking back to my formative musical experiences brought back places, moods, and memories, mostly from my late teens and early twenties. For the mix, I wanted to connect those salad days with my long-term interests; basically I chose some foundational favorites and filled the spaces between them with sonic portals, linking then and now in my mind.

Turn on, tune in and don't drop out!

On this episode we’re heading to a musical epicentre, Detroit, Michigan — home of an inimitable musical legacy: Motown, The Belleville Three, Underground Resistance, J-Dilla, Sound Signature… just to scratch the surface. Our guide to the city and environs is Sam Hooker who has complied a mix of songs that capture the feeling at the end of a long Michigan winter, as the ice thaws, simultaneously melancholic and cautiously optimistic. The feeling of a city in the process of rebuilding itself. Sam runs the label Two Rooms which just reissued Fred Scott’s very scarce introspective 45, Journey Within, which we’ll hear on this episode. Sam spends a lot of time in People’s Records, a legendary downtown record shop, run by Brad Hales — presumably a lot of the music we’re hearing today came through there — electronic gospel, mournful soul ballads, downer folk, UFO psych — weird and wonderful private 45s.

Séance Centre Radio Episode 58 - Detroit Winter Special w/ Sam Hooker (Two Rooms)

You never know whether Phoebé aka RAMZi from Montreal currently finds herself in human- or bird shape. As she shifts appearance, her sounds create a window into a deep and hidden world, crowded with all sorts of creatures and animals - fantastical but real and all originated in Phoebe's mind. 

RAMZi has nowadays certainly carved out her ecological niche, with several fantastic releases, including one in what almost seems her swampy Scottish parallel-universe - 12th isle, as well as her own imprint FATi Recordings or the ever fantastic 1080p. 

For this mix, RAMZi comes back with her BIGBIRD alias after some time away and she leads us through the last summer rays, as we slowly but surely descend into the rainy season.
