Soup To Nuts w/ John Gómez 110324

"Following up on our first shared endeavor, “Magic Jive” (2020), we are thrilled to continue this journey and introduce you to our first cassette mix, “Matamoros”.

We strived to seamlessly transition from where our previous mix left off, with the former ending “Late Summer Night” echoing at the very beginning of the recording. You will find here a collection of songs that have serenaded our lives over the past three years, mostly re-edited to make them coexist flawlessly.

On Side A “Onda”, you will listen to a light contemplative sailing soundtrack whilst Side B “Costa” depicts what would be our dream setting for a night at a resort park discotheque."

Hailing from Melbourne, Elsie covers for this months episode of Merchant Records playing ﻿Dub, Ambient, Dancehall, Bhangra & Synth-Pop gems.

Merchant w/ Elsie - April 2024

Recorded live at Giant Steps on Easter Sunday, 31 March 2024.

The clocks went forward. The speakers were still moving. (They don’t call it a travelling sound system for nothing.) Once the sound settled and after a needle change or two, the dancers flooded in and the sun dipped out of sight.

This recording picks up from about that moment. Just a fun, loose energy from a crowd that knew Monday was a freebie. Flowing between groovers and steppers as the night got extended (twice). 

We felt the love and gratitude, and hope you enjoy the listen back.

Special thanks as ever to Aneesh and Amit, and to Juan for sound at the venue.

Merchant w/ Sunni D - May 2024

We're back! 

It's been a brief hiatus, but as they say, "ain't nothin' to it but to do it!". Idle Cellars returns with a new look and more wonderfully chilled and eclectic DJ mixes for your listening pleasure. We have lots going on behind the scenes so watch this space!

We kick things off with renowned recluse and self-proclaimed Record Weasel James Glass! A native Londoner, James fled to the West Coast in the early 90s after a stint in NYC, immediately establishing himself in the local vinyl & DJ scenes with expert-level knowledge of soul, funk, disco, house and more. Thirty years later, James has seen a career that's brought him to play at everything that's worth playing in San Francisco, to successful disco edit label collabs with Wicked founder DJ Garth and Chicago hustler Zernell, to curating the third volume of Dave Lee's Under The Influence compilation series for Z Records and, in the past few years, quite possibly being at least partially responsible for the best outdoor daytime parties the Bay Area has seen in quite some time. James is the opposite of the modern, look-at-me-at-all-times social media DJ, much preferring to toil away weaseling the world's greatest records and occasionally appearing outside his home. 

"Good Feelings" is one for Sunday mornings,..into Sunday afternoons with wistful easy listening joints, proper soul, grooving dub and reggae, heady baroque pop, AOR funk and of course some disco and boogie to liven things up towards the end. Perfect for road trips, sunbathing, a well-rolled blunt or sunsets in warm weather....

See you soon for the next!
