About Love Pt. 62 - JustHilda

From Amsterdam, via Saltillo, Berlin and London, here comes the 31st mix carefully selected for you by Worldwide FM resident Coco María (@cocomariamusic). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Ana, welcome aboard the series. How's your been summer so far?

CM: Hi. Thank you! Today, I came back from We Out Here, very inspired and happy. So, right now I would say this summer I have been very lucky. I was able to travel, to play in many nice parties, and festivals with lovely crowds (big and small), met many of my friends, and made new friends.

MFM: You're originally from Saltillo, Mexico. Can you tell us a bit about growing up there?

CM: It is a city in the north of Mexico. Desert and mountains. Quite a big city. My parents are very musical people and I grew up surrounded by music and family and friends. My mom and dad always made efforts to inspire us, triggered our curiosity and they love road trips so we traveled a lot in Mexico when I was a kid.

MFM: I've read you left your studies in Mexico and moved to Europe. What was the reason for this change?

CM: I finished my university studies (Education Science and Psychology) and literally, the day after I got my diploma ( 22nd of June) I left and have been living in Europe since then. I always wanted to travel and get to know other places. When I was 18, I went to Berlin with my friend Olga, and I fell in love with the city immediately. I was very determined to go and live there. I felt it was the city and energy I needed at that time: it worked out, with a 4 years diversion through London.

MFM: Mexico knows a different culture and traditions when compared to Europe. What would you say are the main differences?

CM: At the beginning the differences were very strong to me: food, weather, people, shops, now 11 years later, the biggest difference are the daily life worries. For example, In Amsterdam, I rarely feel unsafe in the street. There are more opportunities to develop, grow and do what you love, without worrying about your personal safety or so much corruption. In Mexico, the weather and nature are amazing. The food and the warmth of the people is something I miss quite often.

MFM: This year saw your compilation 'Club Coco' being released in collaboration with Swiss label Les Disques Bongo Joe and which features all new music. How did you get to this particular selection of artists and songs?

CM: The first song I wanted to include was “A big Brain” by my friend Nic Mauskovic because I felt this had to be out there. That was what initiated the project and I curated it thinking of a line up... Imagine having all these bands together! Most of the bands are my friends or I have worked with them, it went naturally and felt very familiar.

MFM: It also includes a track of yourself, which is a highly rhythmic percussive work out with lots of brass and your vocals dubbed on top. Can you show a bit of insight in the writing and recording process of the song? Did you work with live musicians for example?

CM: The initiative was from my friend Max Weissenfeldt. He is a brilliant musician, composer and runs the label Philophon. We want to make a Jazz album. This is our first song and we recorded it in Berlin. Then he moved to Ghana, I moved to Amsterdam. And the pandemic hit. I have not seen him since january 2020! Max recorded the music with a live band in Ghana and their names are Pitches, Osei and Kung Fu´u. 

MFM: Do you have more ambition in producing your own works? Perhaps there's something in the pipeline already? 
Would love to finish that jazz album with Max, while he is in Ghana: we will work on the distance. 

MFM: Google Translate says the title 'Me Veo Volar' means 'I See Myself Fly'. Is there a nice story behind the title maybe? :)

CM: “Me veo volar” is about getting rid of fears that weigh you down… and making space for what you really want and take off! At that time I was having some realizations :)

Next up on Idle Cellars we have LA's finest debutante and deep digger extraordinaire the infamous Dirty Dave with a smooth selection of slow dreamy floaters for your listening pleasure. It's a delight to share 'Sorcery' with you all. 

Dirty Dave:

I made it my goal to create a mix that really speaks to, and from the heart with this one. Here's a bit of what I've been feeling the past few years, all coming from an inspiration to help further move our bodies & minds toward those ultimate places of peace & understanding. What music can do...it's definitely sorcery.

Best served around dusk or dawn, alone or with people you love. Cheers!

Dirty Dave - Sorcery

@TobyTobias has been a long standing figure in the London scene for the last 20 years. A true music lover who can bring pretty much anything to the party. You may recognise him for his house cuts on labels like Rekids, ESP Institute, Delusions of Grandeur, International Feel, Odori, Quintessentials, Futureboogie to name a few - as well as his own imprints London Housing Trust and Voice Notes.  He also plays under the alias Alphonse and has been one of the main protagonists of the recent breaks revival. You can find him playing all over the world as well as putting mixes out for the likes of Boiler Room, NTS, Balamii , Phonica, Mutant Radio , Narr and even Unknown FM back in the early noughties.
@TobyTobias:
Was a pleasure to be asked by Danny to do this mix and join in with the crew - I'd been meaning to do a Dub Bleeps and Oddities mix part 2 for a while - and Dannys request came in when I was getting ready so it seemed right - so that it was you have essentially - but less of the oddities and more of a gentle build up to the seeds of a night out ..
