Mix of the Week #168: Duckcomb - Happy In Hollywood

MIXES

HENRY JONES (SMILING C) - SANPO 096

Patrick Billard also known as DJ Duckcomb has a way of making mixes that fits very naturally with 5918mins. So much that we didn’t even have to explain the concept to him. 

He really carved out his own and very personal approach to digging and being a DJ - so we think that the proud dad who is currently residing in Los Angeles can best explain his approach to music himself: 

"I guess it all goes back to my first record as a toddler was Stray Cats "Stray Cat Strut"on 45 which i played until the grooves wore out. Then Michael Jackson and Breakdancing took over my childhood years but in my highschool years i was hugely into indie rock like Pavement and Guided by Voices...this was the early 90s. 
I once read an interview with Robert Pollard of GBV and he listed some of his favorite records and one that stood out for me was David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust". I think from that point onward i started really exploring older music, possibly to the detriment of neglecting new music. After exploring Bowie and the glam era and working back into psych i got back into punk and Paul Weller and The Jam which then led to exploring soul music and from there disco and that's really been my path for the past 20 years: disco and by extension the disco side of reggae/calypso/african music. I've also really been enjoying exploring private press or "real people" records. I think this mix represents a good snapshop of what i currently look for when digging. There's everything from private press AOR and new wave reggae from Long Island to synth heavy funky psych jams from the Philippines and Israel to some zouk and African boogie. And of course, i always like to bookend my mixes with a choice spoken word record!"

We can only add that we’re incredibly happy to have him. He’s one of those who incorporates the idea behind this podcast series. If you can’t handle personality, you better avoid.

JAZ is also John Zahl, aka. the Episcopalian Minister from South Carolina who does not only find transcendence in religion but likewise in music. While the fact that he plays the most oddball of Italo, Synth-Pop and New Wave tracks might seem surprising, the coupling of music and religion is not at all unusual of course (both transcending the boundaries of our natural world). After incredibly contributions to Sanpo Disco and Dream Chimney amongst others, he has agreed to share his energy once again.

For 5918mins. JAZ compiles a vast amount of music from the USA, Sweden, UK, France, Germany, Japan, Austria, Italy, Uraguay, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Greece, South Africa, Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil, Canada (over 45 tracks) which he has been amending for a while but could not record due to a move. (Hence the hibernation) 

A rich and incredible mix of things which we are more than honored to be able to present, representing the sheer endless energy this man has put into finding music.

Rêverie #6 (18/04/19)

It's a delight to welcome close friend and MFM label designer Steele Bonus (@steelebonus) to the mix series. Q&A (short version) here below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Steele! Welcome to the series (that picture, haha!). People might know you from the numerous handsome artworks for our MFM sleeves and other labels as well. So far it seems like your graphic design talents are mostly (or only?) reflected via music related projects, is that on purpose? 

SB: I’ve actually been working in design and advertising agencies in Sydney and Amsterdam for well over a decade and during this time I’ve worked on a huge range of projects and for some large global brands. Music was always my life outside of ‘work’. Aside from DJing I’ve always been this guy that’s been quite involved behind the scenes – organising tours, throwing parties, scouting venues to set up sound systems, sourcing and selling records and making club flyers and gig posters late into the evening. In more recent years I’ve been designing a ton of record sleeves (I don’t organise parties any more). I’ve always tried to keep music and my job separate but the merging of the two has been kind of unavoidable I guess. This year I’ve left my 9 to 5 and intend to focus more on my own design and music related projects. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while and I’m excited for the times ahead.

MFM: In 2017 Oz Waves was released, which features a fine selection of forgotten Australian gems from the '80s all compiled by you. If you'd be asked to do another compilation, would there be a specific era, country or something you'd want to pick out and focus on?

SB: To be honest I don’t know if there would be. I am interested in a very wide range of music but I’m particularly drawn to this time in Australia. I think the music captures what the place is about for me. The harsh climate and environment, the cowboy attitude and culture, the huge distance from the rest of the world. These days I feel like it’s been replaced with something much more slick and dull. Of course there are always still good things happening there under the surface, but the cassette culture from Australia was something that I felt hadn’t been documented or covered a lot, especially in comparison with other parts of the world like Belgium or the States. Maybe there will be a follow up to Oz Waves. The music is there but there are still a couple of artists that are proving tricky to track down. I’ve also been hesitant because the reissue compilation thing has gone a bit overboard the past years. If anything, aside from that I’d probably focus more on working with current music and artists.

MFM: You're a skilled DJ too, which mirrors in your contribution for our mix series (thanks for joining!). Can you tell a bit about how your mix came about, did you have any ideas or inspiration in mind for it?

SB: It came together over a number of months. It’s mostly records that I picked up last year, including a lot of tips from friends and things I discovered while traveling around Europe djing on weekends. Towards the end of the year I started to assemble a pile on my living room floor that seemed to fit together. That pile sat there for a couple of months. I went to Australia for Christmas, came back and there was a back log of work to get done and so more weeks went by before I finally got around to making the recording. There was no real idea or inspiration but listening back to it now I think there’s a definite common thread. It's more or less a collection of pop tunes from the 80s and 90s, but there's a mood that's weird and dreamy, a bit sad but also a bit hopeful. I guess it matches the mood I've been carrying around most days lately.

New mix comes courtesy of @Maybe-Tonight. Arguably unknown yet to many, the french collective nonetheless made a name for themselves among the most refined aesthetes through their infamous youtube channel. Promoting cool small parties and unveiling digs of the highest class, they're slowly but surely gaining a wider audience in Paris and beyond, We're glad to shine a light on the guys with this awesome mix accurately representing what they can play in party-mode.

LYO#156 / Maybe Tonight

WTF! This semi-staged picture does not say anything about the unbelievably great time I had in Stockholm last weekend. Fantastic food from The Hotel At Six kitchen for a start, deliciously eccentric drinks by Juan and then this heavenly cozy room set up by Victor! I brought a lot of personal faves to listen to over the insane sound system there. Some of the things I usually only listen to when I'm alone, because they make me cry (yes I'm a sissy, look at the pic). And some tracks that I never found the right spot to play out. Just like the first song: It's called "Sex" by the Necks and it's 56 minutes long. In my bag for years and it never made it out (it's a CD!)This saturday I had to give it a try. I have actually not expected it being perfect for this room. But hell yeah - time got irrelevant after half an hour and people were diving in it. 
Now the bummer. The recording didn't start properly and - even worse - stopped accidently after one hour and a half. Still it's a nice listen and I hope you enjoy this like I did enjoy the weekend. 
HUGEST THANKS TO VICTOR, TO JUAN AND THE WHOLE STAFF FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN. https://www.facebook.com/Hosoisthlm/
(Thanks to Stockholm record stores for the wonderful finds) 
Next time we'll make it a proper 6 hour recording!

Hailing from Toronto Canada, Diana McNally aka Automaticamore aka the queen of Italo, comes in strong with an hour of carefully selected killer cuts - the energy bar that we all needed. With hundreds of live-streams flooding our news-feeds and new mix-series starting to come up during these challenging times, we leave it to Diana to finish off our weekly Quarantine series and return to fortnightly publications from now on.

In a way, her persona could not be more fitting, as she is not only an avid vinyl collector, but also works as a social worker at the Toronto Drop-in Network for homeless people. Diana is currently taking vacation days in order to work 12-14 hours on the frontlines of the pandemic, supporting and helping the most vulnerable ones - most of the times without proper protection, literally keeping people from dying. (Read more about it here: https://www.blogto.com/city/2020/04/toronto-homeless-covid-19/) 

A reminder, perhaps, that even after 4 weeks of quarantine, the pandemic is still very much real. There are still people dying and in order to support frontline-workers like Diana or the fantastic National-Healthcare staff all over Europe, we must drink and dance to Italo-Disco *inside* our homes.

Some acts need little more than a good name and a stack of great works to attach to it in order to gain the accolades they deserve. Such is the case with Good Block, this mischievous London unit whose portfolio of musical shenanigans increases in quantity as much as it grows in quality, amounting to a solid body of work of which this episode of Gop Cast is another stellar chapter. One that, in their own words is "a bit deeper for us (ambient/ slo-mo/chug) but we really enjoyed doing this one. It features a few new productions from us and some recent finds old and contemporary."
