Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

Ruf Dug — Live From The Cause (HALLOWEEN - OCT '23)

Continuing the series is Mancunian producer, dj and music teacher Tom Burford who just released his LP 'Elevations' with us as Contours (@contoursmusic). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hey Tom. You just returned from a big hike, how was it?

TC: Hey! Yeah, we were able to get out on some beautiful hikes around the Anaga national park in the north of Tenerife. It’s a stunning landscape and a nice change from the overbearing grey we get in Manchester for half the year. 

MFM: Does nature play an important role in your life and music?

JC: Definitely in life, and then I guess that just seeps into my music. I grew up in a pretty rural part of Cumbria. It was very beautiful landscape but with very little to do from an entertainment perspective, so getting out in the landscape or jamming with friends always felt like the two most freeing things to do. 

MFM: About jamming with friends... Your new album Elevations includes a lot of collaborations with other musicians, of which you did the recordings yourself. Can you highlight one special moment from those recording sessions?

TC: When recording Pots, I had initially written and recorded the percussion and synth parts at home and hit up Abraham to see if he wanted to add some Trumpet parts. He is based in London and so he recorded initial takes remotely and sent them through. They sounded great, but I really wanted to transform and process his parts for the track to manipulate them into sounding more synth like at points. Doing, that without him in the space felt like there was dialogue missing. In the end I went down to London and we recorded and dubbed them out in the same space at the Rhythm Section studio (shouts to Mali on engineering duties). Being able to respond to his playing and him in turn being able to respond to the dubbing of his parts felt like it was able to capture some really special elements.  

MFM: The A side of your new LP has Elevations 1, 2 and 3. Was it intentional for these tracks to end up separately or did they used to be one larger piece?

TC: When I started writing Elevations 1, 2 and 3 it just began as a series of jams and recording sessions in my flat bouncing ideas back and forth between myself, Beka, Abel and Simmy. These sessions were always just me and one other collaborator at a time, partly down to schedules, the size of the flat, but also the chance to not have to rush the process and to really dig into how we worked together. I continued building out the same project over multiple sessions so that I could have access to all the material collated in one place. Specific sections and ideas started to come together, but I liked the idea of them forging part of a wider piece. I’d previously worked in a largely self-contained track basis but had been listening to a lot of pieces like Six Marimbas, Music for 18 musicians and Tehillim by Steve Reich that build over a long period and loved the scope this gave to get completely lost in the music. I love the hypnotic nature created when polyrhythms morph over each other for a long enough period, shifting emphasis and eventually melting away.  

MFM: What can you tell about the mix you've made?

TC: I wanted to create a mix that was able to showcase the variety of sounds that influence me, both as a DJ and Producer. I love listening to mixes and radio at home and the best club experiences I’ve had have always been when a DJ is able to surprise you and really take you on a journey. The album makes heavy use of strings through the violin and cello, but also the Guzheng, a Chinese Zither and the Clàrsach a Celtic Harp. The initial three tracks of the mix focus on these sounds before skirting into more percussive and jazz focused influences and then into some deeper acid-tinged downtempo tracks and sub heavy club sounds. Hopefully this mix takes people on a journey and is something for people to get lost in.

MFM Mix 051: Contours

Slammin in at no. #9 in our illustrious mix series this week is none other than the reluctant but rightfully crowned king of Long Island, Ron Morelli.
   Perfectly rendering a feverish club kid’s ultimate cityscape in sound, Ron presses the old n new up against each other as a relentless 4-4 jackin beat creeps underneath. It’s riding the subway with your friends at 1am; it’s feeling faded in the back of a taxi screaming down 2nd ave; it’s pounding the club walls with your fists as sweat drips down your face - DON'T HOLD BACK!

GABRIELA MIX #9 ~ RON MORELLI

Immergée dans la musique dès son plus jeune âge, le parcours de Suze Ijó l'a inévitablement amenée à côtoyer le monde du chant et de la danse. Née à Rotterdam, elle s'est également lancé très vite dans la collection de disque; une passion qui n'a eu de cesse de  d'évoluer après son introduction au crew First Floor, un collectif de mélomanes se réunissant pour jouer, écouter et partager une passion commune pour la musique. 

De la house contagieuse de Chicago aux grooves chaleureux et émouvants ; la vibe de Suze Ijó  vous transporte immédiatement au temps où les pistes de danse devenaient des espaces de liberté, d'expression de soi et de connexion. Son objectif: diffuser une énergie pour rassembler les gens autour de sons conçus pour vous faire bouger et même vous oublier.

Merci Suze

Trushmix 227 - Röder

I have been recording mixes for 29 years & this might be one my favourite sets ever. 

It seems I've grown to love long emotive arches – within songs as well as in programming. And Songs Not Tracks lets me do just that.

I get to showcase a variety of beautiful dance music I've been obsessed with. I can let it unfold over multiple hours, as an open-to-close club set would: with "the patience of an opening set, the drama of peak time, and the tender emotionality of closing a night" (quote from DJ Voices, one of the best writers in the dj realm).

Selections cover 5 decades and include many of my fave new releases of 2024. Once again house is front & center, but as always, surrounded by adjacent vibes (ok ok, you don't really get a real house song until 45 minutes in or so 😎) 

We begin slow, but start building soon enough. Eventually we get to peak time drama... and close with tender emotionality.

Open your mind, tune in, enjoy! 🧡
