Daniel Haaksman - Tudo Ft. Deize Tigrona (DJ Firmeza Remix)

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

VA QUIET DAWN III a killing me softly with..Folk Psych Funk mixtape by Tom Wienland

Hey young world
The three kings arrived, twelve nights are almost over.
Here´s my brandnew  annual mixtape related to the cosmic, spiritual side of Jazz & beyond, 
Sign of the times? SPIRITS HIGH ABOVE XV steps a side the beaten path of the Pharoah and tells how the seed of Coltrane & the synths of Kraftwerk absorbed the musical vision of a new world in 1970´s Germany. The dreams of the 68 generation were already broken and longhaired Krauts started to discover the world ,eastern and far away philosopy & exotc rhythm and sounds. Escapism at it´s best, here´s some of my last years vinyl finds,all made in Krautistan, mostly small label stuff and private pressings, plus an unreleased goodie.
Tune in & never give up.
Peace
Tom Wieland

Ps. WARNING:this one is not for the jazz purist out there. You´re listening to some deep psyched   outernational sounds and there´s even some synths bleeping.

La Tribu - Cuando Vuelves (El Eclypse, 2025)

Pingipung proudly introduces Iko Chérie, the experimental pop project of French multiinstrumentalist Marie Merlet. The 7'' single "Ghosted Ghosters of the Holy G" offers a first glimpse into her forthcoming LP, Soft Centre (Pingipung 093, 7th Nov 2025) — a hypnotic blend of dub-infused songwriting and blissful noise.On the flipside, French electro-dub visionaries Froid Dub unravel the track into a shadowy, slowmotion version, with a solid sub-bass, flickering delays and half-heard whispers.

Iko Chérie says about the single: “The melody and structure came to me in one go – I recorded a
draft on my phone at a party. It’s a playful take on ghosting karma, with ooh-oohs and a vocal line
inspired by the vibes of Lovers Rock.”

Trained in classical piano as a child, Marie Merlet shifted to teaching herself the guitar when she
discovered the DIY indie punk scene, she then studied jazz singing and electro acoustic
composition in Bordeaux before moving to London to play bass in Monade alongside Laetitia
Sadier (Stereolab).

With her solo project Iko Chérie, she crafts a surreal sound world of woozy incantations, Casio
drones, and reverb-drenched guitars, woven with processed spoken-word samples.
Beyond Iko Chérie, Marie Merlet tours globally with Gina Birch (The Raincoats) and is the
guitarist in psychedelic cumbia outfit Malphino. She also hosts a monthly Soho Radio show
championing women in music and curates a film & performance series at London’s Cinema
Museum.

OUT TO THE MEADOW #3 w/ Berk Icli

In the run-up to our Mr Bongo x Higo Beat Japan tour with DJ Nature we are shining a light on some of the incredible Japanese DJs we have joining us. 

miharu, a rising talent also based in Kyoto. As well as working behind the counter at Face Records, she’s regularly found playing across the city and broadcasting on the likes of Tsubaki fm. Her mix elegantly sweeps through a variety of Japanese sounds moving from celestial into more uptempo, touching on funk, cosmic, hip hop, jazz and beyond with a sprinkling of MPB in there for good measure.
