classic music to vibe to on a Sunday afternoon

Live @ Bambino

London-based DJ, Basket of Light festival organiser, radio host and all-round upliftingly eclectic selector, @poly-ritmo serves up the first Record Club mix of 2024. Having grown up on jazz, soul, Latin and folk, aged just 15 she started work experience behind the counter at Sounds Of The Universe, following that with a degree in Ethnomusicology at SOAS. Since then, she has become a trusted and cherished DJ across the UK, Europe, Brazil and beyond, holding residencies on Netil radio and Worldwide FM alongside doing a selection of livestreams for Vinyl Factory and My Analog Journal livestreams that have racked up millions of views. 

Currently on tour in Brazil, DJing at a string of parties across carnival in São Paulo, Santos and Rio, Polly took the time out to put together this all vinyl mix just before leaving the UK. Solely comprised of Brazilian records picked up on her last trip to Brazil, she mentions:

“I'm a big fan of Mr Bongo, and I wanted to record a mix that fits in with the Mr Bongo sound. I've got so many amazing Brazilian records that I love but don't get the opportunity to play so much, so an all-Brazilian mix seemed like a fitting theme.”

“A lot of the records I played in this are from the North-East of Brazil and many of the tracks are from the ‘80s - lots of synths and drum machines. The mix features a range of styles such as lambada, reggae, axé, afoxê, boogie, forró and samba.”

“My personal favourite track in this mix is Ruy Lima - Filhos de Gandhy (at 14.27 in the mix). I bought this record from my friend Roger who runs Pindorama discos in São Paulo. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I love the afoxê combined with boogie, Ruy Lima’s sweet vocals and the soaring BVs. Such a delicious mix!”.

Massive thanks to Polly for the mix.

Odd Selects w/ Odqin: 70's Soul Classics - October 2024

Mr Scruff @ Fidelity Studio _ Jan 2025

Next up in Mr Bongo’s Record Club mix, we’re delighted to welcome Meanjin (Brisbane) based DJ, digger and promoter, @benny_chiu.

A key member of Meanjin’s scene, Benny has been putting on events in the city as part of the A Love Supreme collective since 2012. From small laneway get-togethers, to warehouse parties and club nights, live shows with legends Marcos Valle and Azymuth, to showcases with dancefloor icons like Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittman and Gilles Peterson, Benny has had a hand in bringing a full spectrum of greats to the city that might not otherwise have made it.

That diverse and eclectic outlook is reflected in Benny’s DJing. As at home spinning jazz and soul, as he is broken beat and house, his ability to weave styles and genres together in a cohesive journey is a real talent. It’s one that has seen him sharing the bill with the likes of Hunee, Theo Parrish, Floating Points amongst many others.

For this two hour mix, Benny has put together a fittingly broad selection of favourites:

“This mix has a lot of elements that I'm really into. It’s on the brighter side for a ‘club’ mix but thought it would go down nicely for Mr Bongo. We got some jazz and Latin flavours mixed through the housey stuff. Fellow ‘Australian’ crew Oyobi with ‘Mi Ritmo’ is a fave. And I know this one has been getting plenty of play around but ‘Oyelo (Atjazz Love Soul Remix)’ by Sunlightsquare is such a tune. Musclecars latest album has been getting plenty of love lately as well, though ‘She Raised Us In Sunset Park’ from their earlier EP Street Dreams is a fave.”

Big thanks to Benny for the mix, he’s touring round SE Asia at the minute but keep an eye for his next movements.

CHARDONNAY SOUNDTRACKS #58 w/ Tomislav Grujic

MIDDLE NAME COUSINS INTERLUDE - BEEN DOPE SUPPY CURATED BY STOVE JESUS

MIDDLE NAME COUSINS INTERLUDE

This is an album forged in legacy and fire — a narrative of inherited pain, survival, and self-definition. It’s not a cry for help, it’s a declaration: "I know where I come from. I know what I became. And I know what I choose next."
BLOODLINE doesn't chase closure. It creates clarity. It doesn't preach. It remembers, it rebuilds, and then it becomes.

Say My Name Right
