For Episode #58 we’re happy to present a versatile and adventurous guest mix by our homie @andrea_zucca. For his contribution he dived deep into his Eastern European treasury and dug out a pretty cozy selection somewhere between bal(t)earic and soviet synth-pop from the communist era. So better make sure not to miss this lovely ride!

Past Forward #58 w/ Andrea Zucca

Delighted to host @discos-capablanca influence mix on Oddity Radio.

"An ode to the DIY, free-spirited, fearless drive that inspired me to start a label and do what I do. No rules no boundaries. Rare, cheap, obscure and cheese from my record collection (ALL VINYLZ!!!).

It favors cheekiness, raw energy and spontaneity over a well thought, polished finishing, yet it somehow manages to communicate, imho, a certain psychedelic, twisted tongue firmly in cheek feeling. Handled with hobbledehoy's hands. 

I called it The End of Melody."

We are more than happy to welcome Stephan(@earlorlog) to our hallooo Mix Series. In his mix he gives room for a feeling of imminence by considering Dub, Downtempo, Balearic, Cosmic Disco and related genres not as feel-good sounds but as a danceable form of “Widerständige Musik”. 🌬🌚🕊

↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH EARL ORLOG ↓ ↓ ↓

Q: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

A: It started with the idea to make some kind of anti- war downbeat mix. Although it was clear from the start that I also wanted to include some new digs, the mix should centre around two classics: Timmy Thomas’ “Why Can’t We Live Together” and “Clouds Across The Moon” by the RAH Band. Anyway: By the time everything was done and dusted, I had replaced Thomas’ original with a cover version and all that was left of “Clouds Across The Moon” was a little vocal snippet. But I think I somehow managed to preserve the intended spirit: To tell it like it is. To let the story not be smothered in utopian beauty but to give room for a feeling of imminence, or subliminal distress and even a bit of good old German Angst … by considering Dub, Downtempo, Balearic, Cosmic Disco and more or less related genres not as feel-good sounds but as a danceable form of “Widerständige Musik”. 

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

A: Not exactly a story, but G. Rizo’s „Je Me Mentis“ is an alltime fave of mine. It’s a still pretty much underappreciated (wrongfully, of course) piece of abstract disco dub from Switzerland. A real heavyweight … practically at almost any speed.

Q: How do you dig for new music, and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in music?

A: I’m intrigued by music that is outlandish, naive, heartfelt, original, unfamiliar, genuine, odd, wild, touching, surprising, spooky, in any way trailblazing and/or trying to reach out to the stars - no matter from which era or part of the world. Ideally there’s a Saz, Oud, Sitar or Twang Guitar as well as a prominent Bass and some analogue Synths involved. Even better if it’s drenched in echo or reverb. I like to rummage through flea markets, second-hand shops, record fairs and cassette booths. Especially when I’m on holiday. As far as African, South American and Asian music is concerned I find a lot of stuff via local friends and Instagram contacts. And of course, what other diggers are spinning at parties, uploading to their YTs, or recommending in our chats is a huge inspiration.

Q: One record you will never let go, and one that doesn’t want to leave your wantlist?

A: Never let go: Beyond Sound - “Diamond Harbour”. Holy grail: Os Tincoãs - “s/t”. A record I managed to finally cross off my wantlist this week: Z.I.Z. - “…Aber Sie Machen Es Göttlich” 

Q: Music bonds people. Any djs/projects/shops/etc.. you would like to shout out?

The first time I went to Camp Cosmic in 2015 I never thought I would be a part of this fantastic festival together with so many wonderful artists who have been a great influence and especially Johan that has been a huge inspiration to me. Here is my live recording from Camp Cosmic 2019

Camp Cosmic 2019

The consistency and relentlessness with which Florian Stöffelbauer is managing to produce high-quality output in all sorts of different domains and modalities is almost unbelievable. 

For one, he is co-founder of the outrageous “Neubau” imprint which has been releasing consistently forward-thinking music since as early as 2015. He also co-runs the fantastic YouTube channel “Basic Rhythm”, which makes him (at least partly) responsible for the recent wave of Stefan Egger resurrections. Flo also ran a party of the same name (most of which happen in Vienna but with one “away-game” in London) and he was furthermore behind the retailer “Discus Throwers”, selling tapes and vinyl from his home-base in Vienna. Last but not least, he is a killer D.J. going by the name of “Heap”, an alias under which he has recently done recordings for Tim Sweeny’s Beats in Space Radio as well as the infamous Dekmantel-Podcast series.

With all of this greatness under his belt at the tender age of 26, one can only imagine where Florian is going to take his talent and dedication in the future. For 5918mins., he bangs out a mix that left both of us speechless and in awe. It is a mix as relentless as his consistent greatness, with almost two hours of killer after killer after killer. Flo weaves together a variety of tracks defying standard genre-classification, with the right dose of humour, meta-commentary through lyrics and a feel for the unpredictable. We can only say thanks to Flo for providing us with this absolute high-light of a mix and wish him all the best in his endeavours to come.
