Who is this? Sounds a bit like Beth Gibbons

Like many of his generation, @lefto Early Bird has gained a global following because of his radio shows. Broadcasting on the likes of Studio Brussel, Kiosk Radio and Worldwide FM from his base in Brussels, he's become a beacon of good taste whether dropping jazz, new beat, house or hip hop. He manages to make seemingly unrelated sounds make sense in the same context and is just as versatile in the DJ booths of Europe's best clubs and festivals. He plays for us at Dekmantel Selectors later this year and is sure to serve up one of his magic musical melting pots. 

This week's mix is just that, with a brilliantly broad selection of tracks from Sun Ra & His Arkestra, Kerri Chandler, Synkro and Kendrick Lamar just some of those he weaves in. It makes for something that manages to transport you to a sun-kissed beach, a prohibition-era speakeasy and then a boogie-fuelled dance floor in the blink of an eye. You are sure to be left wondering how on earth he does it all.

Alice Coltrane Arrival Celebration With Prince Language @ The Lot Radio 8-31-22

Living in Philadelphia, pre-pandemic in the 2010s, was an excellent occasion to inevitably meet Elvin T. We both traveled in the same music circles and came to similar conclusions of who and what we invested our emotional energy into regarding the scene at the time. It was a real treat seeing Elvin T spin at the legendary Soul Pickle parties, alongside fellow curator AJ Bell, a top of Warm Daddies on Sundays. Elvin T has played alongside a host of very iconic Detroit, Chicago and International acts with the Soul Pickle parties, including Rick Wade, Rick Wilhite, Whodat, Vince Lemiuex, Eddie C.

These days, you can catch Elvin T at the helm of the ship, curating his frequent party series void in Philadelphia. In a city lacking late late night options, void is the go-to choice for international eclectic club music with raw energy and a vibe and crowd to match.

For his APA mix, Elvin T has contributed a live mix opening the night from one of his void sets. Here you can listen to his dynamic range... it starts off cerebral and ambient, then further evolves into jazzy, crunchy deep house, then into obscure disco, all with vinyl warmth and rotary mixer crispness. Yes, Elvin T is a veteran of combining DIY aesthetics with masterful refinement, all the while utilizing a selection that can keep the attention of the most deep digging record collector.

Please enjoy his Fall contribution to the APA mix series!
