22:07 - 24:40 :: a really cool, different vibe kicks in... I think someone shifted gears. Tertian harmony  -- very cool back beats meshed with harmonies predom based on 4ths & 5ths.  Tres swell.

this was my official new york travel music last december and eveytime i listen to this I always remember my cross atlantic trip from california to new york. i especially love zachary cale here. and always looking forward to your mixtape.

Best thing Ive heard in a while! Perfect chillout

I have all of the Deep Folk mixes on a loop - they're a perfect escape. And I love all of the new artists they've introduced me to.

Winter Aconite - Deep Folk Mixtape 7

I stumbled across a recording of a weather report from the Burns’ Day storm of 1990 during which more than ninety people lost their lives. It inspired me to make this latest Deep Folk Mixtape.

For this next episode of Sonar Kollektiv Radio we're having Palo Santo Discos & Coco Maria bringing some latin gems to Berlin. Hailing from 's-Hertogenbosch in the south of Holland with a recordbag filled with music from all continents. This Dutch selector has found himself specializing in almost everything obscure, exciting and close to the equator. With shelfs ranging from Brazilian crooners, Turkish Anatolian Psych, late 60's Jamaican Dub and African moog virtuosos.

Coco Maria is a colorful lady from the north of Mexico shaking down the Berlin scene with her classy and funky record collection mainly from Colombia, Brazil and Peru. Her upbeat selection will at the very least put a smile on your face.

For more info and record covers you can have a peek on their instagram account.

This week’s guest on Ana Fernandes Fade to Sunset is DJ, Producer and founder of Let’s Play House, Jacques Renault. 
Jacques was a post-punk Washington, D.C. native who moved to Chicago in 1997 to continue his studies of viola, but in turn got an education in dance music. Tapping into the well-established drum 'n' bass scene, he held a residency at Smart Bar and became a buyer at the legendary Gramaphone Records. This broad, raw exposure to House lead him straight back to the classics of Disco and its heart, New York City, where he landed in 2002. After nearly a decade of playing for others in NYC, Jacques, along with good friend Nik Mercer founded Let's Play House, a roving house, disco, and techno party as well as an imprint of the same persuasion.
As a DJ, he’s played in some of the most renowned clubs and parties around the globe and with his remixes, edits, original tracks, and collaborative project Runaway, he has released music on internationally acclaimed labels such as DFA Records, RVNG Intl. Rekids, Italians do it better, and many more.

Baiser "Summer Breeze" [WEA]
The Cool Notes "Spend The Night" [Abstract Dance]
