Doug Tuttle - Turn This Love

Bucky Skank is my hobby. I've loved Jamaican and Jamaican inspired / influenced music for nearly my whole musical life. I don't consider myself an expert in any way but over the years I have amassed quite a lot of this music and it is one of a very few forms of music I can listen to all day without getting bored.

I have played about a half dozen full sets of this music and it has been like learning how to dj all over again. All those sets had a slightly shambolic edge to them as I found my feet but have been wonderful, if nerve wracking fun as I scrambled in the dark to find the right 7" to play next. It's definitely not something I'd like to do all the time but doing it one or two times a year is a true joy, so a big thanks to those who have come along and danced. 

There is also the Bucky Skank label, again very much a hobby which releases a couple of 12"s each year (the first one now sold out, the second one due shortly).

Anyway, here's a two hour mix featuring some of what I played at this year's Bucky Skank in Glasgow. Half of it was recorded on the night and half after the fact, at home. Hopefully the joins aren't too noticeable. A tiny handful of the tracks were on the mix I put up a couple of years ago (The Upsetters' "Bucky Skank" will of course appear in every Bucky Skank set I do and bookends this mix albeit in different versions). if you are looking for totally obscure, ultra rare Jamaican music, this is probably not for you but if you want to hear some of the myriad sounds that have come out of that small island or that it has inspired, hopefully it will be enjoyable; plenty of hits and lots of personal favourites from across 50 years (1964 - 2014), ranging from Barrington Levy, Bim Sherman, Prince Far I and Tenor Saw to Kahn, Cutty Ranks and Lady Saw.

The mix is "augmented" with my dub siren, some space echo and Maschine being used to trigger some additional sounds and samples.

The mix is a little over two hours long, is a downloadable 256kbps mp3 and is 230mb.

Right, sit back and hit play and we'll treat you to the story of how this whole Talamanca System 12" came into being..

International Feel's founder Mark Barrott and the loveable Mr Gerd Janson and his Tuff City partner Philip Lauer were enjoying a meal at Barrot's Ibizan hideaway. During said meal Mark somehow agreed to gift his unused Studio Electronics ´Boomstar 303´ synth. The Tuff City guys then thought it would be nice to repay the loan with a remix for Mark, which eventually turned into a full collaboration and this resulting EP. 

Keep an eye out for when it hits shelves on Nov 10th.

Talamanca System "Balanzat (Tuff City Kids Remix) Boiler Room Debuts

Marking the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The Berlin Wall of Sound is an acoustic reconstruction of the Berlin Wall. 
Its duration of 7:32 minutes reflects the time sound needs to travel the 
155 kilometres length of the Berlin Wall. Its sound wave’s shape mirrors 
the wall of concrete and its watchtowers. There are no comments – 
the tags depict the victims and mark where they were killed.
 
The Wall of Sound is not easy to bear. But 27 years locked behind 
the concrete Berlin Wall were unbearable.
 
Back in 1989, SoundCloud’s headquarters would have been part of 
the Death Zone next to the Berlin Wall. We dedicate the Wall of Sound 
to the 120 women, men and children, who lost their lives in their 
attempt to live in freedom. We will not forget.

Major original quotes used:

Walter Ulbricht (former leader of the GDR and responsible for the construction) saying a few days before the construction started: „Nobody has the intention to raise a wall“ 

Heinz Hoffmann (former GDR secretary of defense): „To those, who don’t respect our border – they will feel the bullet.“

Erich Honecker (longtime and most powerful leader of the GDR) celebrating 
40 Years of the GDR in 1989: „The German Democratic Republic will exist another 40 years and beyond.“

Ian Twitchett, an old friend of FatCat and proprietor of Eye Sea Posters, brings us the 121st FatCat Records Podcast. Here's what he had to say:

"A badger’s eye view of the world. A mix that is a window into a disordered and unregulated mind. I have been collecting music since the age of 14 and have never been able to stick to one thing for too long. Still find joy in discovering something new every day and this is the main attraction of music it doesn’t matter what it is, it has the power to transform, enlighten and electrify. The mix is dedicated to a very special man James Dyer who I ran Eyeseaposters with, we both collected music passionately but had entirely different tastes and therefore collections, but we always appreciated each other’s choices, and that’s another reason I’ve always loved music and why Fatcat endures as there is something for everyone in the vaults."

Here the full 3h Jazzanova DJ set by Alex Barck and Stefan Leisering, live recorded at Wedding Soul in Panke Berlin in Jan 2017. Many thanks to Alex, Stefan and Best Works! Enjoy listening!


JAZZANOVA

For almost twenty years the eclectic collective from Berlin has been busy producing, composing, arranging, remixing, djing and generally shaping our musical world – in the clubs, on the air, in the studio, live on stage, and with their label Sonar Kollektiv.

Their “very fertile musical world” (Time Out New York) “has dominated the jazz-dance and down-tempo scenes for the past few years, both with its own label and with countless remixes” (Phoenix New Times).

Spreading their sounds and ideas with inspired DJ sets, Jazzanova’s DJs were among the first DJs from Berlin in demand all around the world. Juergen von Knoblauch, Alex Barck and Claas Brieler broaden the music’s appeal as DJs, not only on tour through the best clubs and festivals around the world but also on their weekly Kaleidoskop radio show on Radio1.

5YRS WEDDING SOUL

Five years of WEDDING SOUL, we look back on so far 60 shows of this small big event series. The jubilee is now celebrated according to the mood, with a two-day program, with exquisite guests, representing what WEDDING SOUL is: a well thought-out mixture of soul and funk-inspired music culture, the roots of these in the back, the present and the future in view. Always danceable and audible, surprising, new, and yet as if there had never been anything other than a connection between heart, dance, and soul.
