Trujillo B2B Norm & More! Live At Paloma Berlin (02.06.23)

Next up on Idle Cellars we have the very special, underrated and up and coming talent, Scandinavia’s best kept secret, Fritjof Drake.

Welcome to an adventure in the Archipelago where your cosmic guide will offer you an exclusive tour of dusty reggae 12 inches, LP’s, Street Soul, Boogie and Brazilian beauties he has scavenged up in the midsummer forest of Sweden. Possibly you’ve not heard many before but you can be sure to be blown away by this mind and body stirring, soulful selection.

Fritjof Drake:
I wanna give a huge shoutout to Danny for inviting me to this special mix series where I got to showcase a longer version of my balearic side in digging records. As well as drinking a glass of wine… I never realized it would come down to 2 hours and 46 minutes since I just kept on yo-yoing the discs from the sleeves to the turntables. Hopefully this mix will make you as hypnotized as I got when making it. Enjoy!

Honored to have Biko Vledder @sint-bikolaas setting off the Self Help mix series with 80 minutes of South African house and kwaito deep cuts to coincide with our first release Classic Club Culture. Five tracks of SA house & downtempo produced by the prolific Quentin Foster (Vision, Yeah Bo!, Citi Express).
Available for preorder here:
https://soundbathrecords.bandcamp.com/album/classic-club-culture-e-p
Here's what Biko had to say about the mix
"When Matt asked me to record a mix to accompany the reissue of tracks by Quentin Foster on his new label Sound Bath Records I felt excited and delighted. It’s really cool that these forgotten tunes by Quentin get a new life and more people are going to hear his work. When I started to select tunes for this mix the first tunes I chose were two tracks from different project produced by Quentin. From there I tried to build the rest of my mix around these cornerstones with other South African 90’s dance cuts."
