Mixes Rena Volvo

Here is my very first mix that I was allowed to record for the great Ashore crew in January 2019. 
This set means a lot to me. It shows where it all started and that's why I want to share it with you. 

Many thanks @ashore <3

ZENA MIXSERIES NO. 73 – Rena Volvo

Rena Volvo
Italo Disco, Disco

"Ich bin Rena Volvo und komme aus Berlin.  
Ich hab im Sommer 2018 mit dem Plattenspielen angefangen und hatte das Glück gleich zu Beginn im Monarch am Kotti spielen zu dürfen. Mein Homie Marian Tone von Wedding Soul hatte mich dazu eingeladen und so entstand unsere gemeinsame Partyreihe SUA ONDA. 
Hauptsächlich digge ich Discomusik aus aller Welt, habe aber eine Vorliebe zu den 80ern. Der größte Teil meiner Platten besteht wohl aus Italo-Disco und so kam es, dass ich euch auch ein reines Italo-Set mitgebracht habe. Ich liebe an dem Genre den Kitsch und dass sich die Leute in der Szene nicht so übertrieben ernst nehmen, sondern die gemeinsame gute Zeit im Vordergrund steht. Ich bin so dankbar und glücklich da reingerutscht zu sein. 

Eine meiner ersten Scheiben war Witch von Helen, der Track mich total weggeblasen. Diese Energie und dieser massive Sound der einen einfach überrollt und mit so wundervollen Gefühlen und so viel Power füllt. Das macht mich einfach süchtig. 
Ich hoffe ihr habt Spaß beim Hören und ich sag: Ciao e Grazie ragazzi ;)

Ich finde es super, dass sich die Zeiten ändern und sich immer mehr weibliche Djs am Geschehen beteiligen. Natürlich ist das auch so, weil sich das von Männern dominierte Business verändert hat, die Nachfrage nach Female Artists da ist und die Zeit einfach auch nach Veränderung schreit. Dennoch ärgere ich mich darüber, wenn ich angefragt werde, weil unbedingt noch 'ne Frau ins Line Up soll. Das ist für mich irgendwie der falsche Weg. Ich hab keinen Bock das Quotenweibchen zu spielen, ich will gebucht werden weil die Leute meinen Sound feiern."

Broncos Guest Mix 007: Balearic Banana

"A Wrinkle In Time" is a series of curated guest mixes inspired by John Peels habit to accidentally play records at the incorrect number of rpm. Though it never failed to annoy and embarrass him, one of the tribute compilations released after his death was given the title "Right Time, Wrong Speed". Nowadays Wrongspeeders are a popular and fun tool for most DJs. "A Wrinkle In Time" is not about playing 45s on 33 or the other way round though, but it has one important rule, its only rule: Don’t get too close to the original playing speed of the record, the area between +4 and -4 on the pitch scale of the turntable is a forbidden zone.

My first guests are those super nice guys and unerring tastemakers Phil OG & DJ Rotwein also known as the Berlin based dynamic duo BALEARIC BANANA.

A Wrinkle in Time – #1 Balearic Banana

Start your week right with this mix by Gramigna. An all-Italian excursion into dancefloor obscurities from the late 70s and early 80s. Gramigna remembers being obsessed with records since the tender age of 10 when he first got his way into his parents' collection and has been collecting ever since. He self identifies as a "nerd" who cleans every single record after each DJ set - a quality we surely wish we saw more often amongst record collectors and DJs today, who love to pull records out of their sleeves squeezing the first grooves of the records with their dirty greasy fingers like they're a fish or something.
We hope you enjoy this 1 hour and a half of delightfully thick research, thick as a slice of mozzarella di bufala campana in the deepest valleys of Lazio. Thank you Gramigna for this precious mix, to the highest standards of Denominazione di origine controllata e garantita (DOCG) ❤️

H.A.N.D. MIX 033 - Gramigna

Next up on Idle Cellars we have the unique and powerful force of love and mystic beauty.. Zozo from Istanbul. After a hiatus we're back with an exquisite selection from one of the finest and sweetest players in Europe. Very proud to present this mesmeric magic carpet ride...

'I wanted to cook up some witchy stew of laidback, cinematic, psychedelic, dubby and heavenly pop grooves' Zozo. Istanbul Nov 2022.

' Zozo is a music curator, collector and radio host from Istanbul, known for experimenting at the fringes of dance music. One way or another, she has grown to be one of the most outstanding selector DJs in her country. Following the motto ‘life is hard but music is good’ since an early age, she has a seasoned character and deep understanding of the dynamics of the dancefloor, with which she communicates with empathy. That has kept her busy on the weekends: she has brought her versatile taste to iconic dance floors as Panorama Bar, Contact Tokyo, Primavera Festival, De School, Ankali Prague, Robert Johnson or Salon des Amateurs. She is also a regular in high-rated festivals as Berlin Atonal, Waking Life, Lente Kabinet, Flow Festival, Strange Sounds From Beyond, Dekmantel and its Selectors offshoot.

She's also a part of the Lyon based label & dj crew Macadam Mambo and resident of Berlin institution Sameheads. Also a member of electronic music and art collective ‘Les Belles De Nuit’ founded in Zurich, supporting women and queer artists. Furthermore, her work has been featured on FACT Magazine, Beats In Space, Resident Advisor, Crack Magazine, Carhartt Wip Radio, Groove Magazine, Boiler Room, Dj Mag, Trax Magazine, The Ransom Note, and many more ... 

Zozo is now crowning her interest in music and art by founding a multidisciplinary platform; AFOM (A friend of mine). She aims to bring together her friends, in different fields such as music, art, design and publishing who have been dancing around the same fire and play the game ... '

Ecoutes au vert is thrilled to introduce you to the wonderful forgotten era of Peruvian Disco Outsiders by record collectors DJs AXEL H & CAO BRAVO! 🧿

Following @ecoutesauvert's output for a while, @axelhaxel contacted us to see if we will be up to releasing this mix via our Soundcloud. A quick listen and the rest is history! 📡

Big thanks to the artists for the fantastic music + Axel & Cao for digging & putting this together! ❤️

AXEL H & CAO BRAVO presents: El Mundo de Quilca

Peru, a country with a rich geographic and cultural diversity, is mostly known to the international music community as the epicenter of cumbia and its psychedelic variants. Unknown to most, a handful of groups have experimented with sounds related to disco and synth-pop in the 80s that were unpopular at the time and thus have mostly been forgotten over the years. 

@axelhaxel (@kitchensessions_int), an epidemiologist and collector residing in Lima, has spent the last 6 years digging records in Quilca, a small and dusty gallery in the center of Lima with improvised vinyl stalls, as well as sourcing records from elsewhere across Peru.

Sharing a common interest to explore Peruvian "Disco" output, Axel has teamed up with @caobravo, a surgeon and well-respected record collector across Latin America, to record “El Mundo de Quilca” a vinyl-only mix of neglected and often impossible-to-find Peruvian disco gems, exploring a variety of different styles, moods, and energy levels. 

Some of the tracks in this mix will be featured in an upcoming compilation to be released in early 2023 on @buhrecords, a Peruvian label run and curated by Luis Alvarado, who has provided valuable insights into this mix.

We are more than happy to welcome Valentin (@valentin-hauptmann) to our hallooo Mix Series. He delivers the soundtrack for your next road-trip with your besties, full of sun drenched AOR-Folk-Fusion and uplifting Synth-Pop-Disco.  So roll down you windows and enjoy the cruse 🌞🚗✨ 

.
↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH VALENTIN ↓ ↓ ↓

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

Thank you for having me! After the sun finally showed up here in Berlin a few weeks ago I managed to get my ass up and put some music together. There were a few records I recently picked up with that certain summer mood I was in plus a few things I wanted to upload on the channel since a bit. Tried to make sense of all this with the rest of the things that are standing around here. I guess you can definitely get all your besties in a car, roll the windows down and blast this mix on your next adventure but listen for yourself! 


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

I have a certain emotional connection with that Johnny Star 7 Inch. Treated myself to it after handing in my bachelor thesis which has been a carousel ride for itself. Thanks again to Norm who was willing to let go of his spare. 


Q: How do you dig for new music?

I had phases were a spend a lot of time on Discogs but also love hitting up shops and flea markets especially while being on holidays and just going through everything that is there. Always looking for things that I haven’t seen before hoping it will either deliver a mood or make you want to dance. 


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

I will never let go of my copy of Yola Polastri’s Discoteque LP. Caminado Bajo El Sol is one of my all-time favs that pushes all the right buttons. 

One record that doesn’t want to leave my wantlist is the Spiegel B – Cool Down single. Didn’t pull the trigger the last time a copy popped up. Hit me up if you are willing to let yours go! 

One big guilty pleasure must be the whole Mini Stars series on Dino Music. They feature popular dance music tracks mostly from the 80s but with German lyrics sang by kids for kids. Please check out Jacqueline - Ferien Auf Dem Ponyhof which is a version of Jason Donovan’s Sealed With A Kiss to get an idea of what I am talking about. Too many great tracks to list here but if you understand German these will definitely put a smile on your face! 


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

Sure thing! Very happy to have many passionate music lovers in my close circle. First of all William who encouraged me to record my first mix ever, Sandra (Frinda Di Lanco) and Henna Stein for giving me Italian lessons, the two Balearic Bananas Marvin und Phil, Dangerous Dave who’s is probably the most underrated DJ in Berlin (book him!), Los Chavales from Radio Relativa. I am sure I forgot some, but you know who you are! <3

Hallooo Mix Series No.15 – Valentin

🇮🇹/🇩🇪  
💯:💯

This is the recording of @frinda_di_lanco and @hendrik_stein's  warmup for Bionda e Lupo's "La Deutsche Vita" record release party at Sameheads - a night which was special in every possible way. 

Since we were flattered by the invitation and love this heartwarming record, we took our chance and prepared our very own interpretation of "Gertalo". After years of digging mostly German and Italian Records but lacking proper occasions for playing these to an open-minded audience, this slot felt like a moment we have prepared since ages, without knowing it would ever happen. 
We're more than happy that there is a recording and Hendrik got back his keys and wallet. 

Thanks to @biondaelupo, @riccardisch and all the great dancers! This was a night to remember.

Frinda di Lanco & Hendrik Stein @ La Deutsche Vita 23.06.23 @ Sameheads

More than an hour of obscure and crazy mix dug directly from the era of the digital revolution. The eighties belong to Rena Volvo and Rena Volvo belongs to the eighties. She one of the greatest esponent of the underground music scene here in Berlin, also hosting "Sua Onda" a party series at Monarch in Kotti (hope to see her again in action soon)
This mix rigorously explores that sounds.. imagine having a DeLorean now you can be catapulted in 1985 and go back and forth, well you don't need special fuels or plutonium just press play.. be careful guys, Rena Volvo can t be stopped.. don t say we hadn t warned you!
