The Barefoot Adventures is a simple but dedicated journey to curate, discover and create mix-tapes for every country on planet earth. That's 195 countries, 195+ episodes.
 
Each mix must exclusively contain music written by musicians from each selected country.
​
Please note, though I aim to be as respectful and sensitive as I can curating these mixes, finding artists and learning about new cultures, I may make mistakes along my journey. If you notice anything offensive, or incorrect, please contact me and I will gladly change it.

Billy Caso @ Dublab / Los Angeles / 15.03.21

The Barefoot Adventures returns as I dive into Libya, a troubled but hugely historical country situated amongst the Sahara Desert. After speaking to some new friends from Libya, I began to learn of the complicated situation and history of this place. Within Libya there is little to no self-made pop music industry, but various kinds of Arab music are popular, such as Andalusi music, locally known as Ma'luf, Chabi, not to mention Arab classical music, and Libyan Reggae which came to the surface in the 90’s.

In the south the Tuareg (Berber) have their own distinctive folk music. They play a one-stringed violin called an anzad, as well as a variety of drums.
Two of the most famous musicians of Libya are Ahmed Fakroun and Mohammed Hassan.
Rhythmic clapping is also common in Libyan folk music.
Traveling Bedouin poet-singers have spread many popular songs across Libya. Among their styles is Huda, the camel driver's song, the rhythm of which is said to mimic the feet of a walking camel.

Native voice spoken by the wonderful: @Aseelelhame
A special thanks to: Mohammed talaia, Khaled and Eisha for the help.

EPISODE 25 / URUGUAY

The Barefoot Adventures returns with a zoom into the rich musical history and culture of Uruguay.⁠ While virtually diving into this small but fascinating place, I came across new genres such as Candombe, Canto Popular, Uruguayan Rock, Milonga, Murga, and of course Cumbia.⁠
⁠
Digging in was an absolute treat, and it was difficult to squeeze my discoveries into a 2 hour show, but I think I just about managed it.⁠

Home Comforts returns with an episode on Reading.
The mix represents finding a quiet space, diving into a parallel universe within the confines of the paper, and through written word expanding your own interpretations and ideas.

For this recording I selected a handful of avant-garde/ambient records from Japan, music that floats around your ears rather than intrudes, aimed to be perfect for reading words.

Billy Caso Live* @ Dublab / Los Angeles / 02.11.2022

So excited to continue this beloved series with a sonic exploration of Laos. This episode we discover rare cuts and selections from an array of time-periods in this countries complicated timeline. I take us on an auditory time-capsule, learning the sounds of Mor Lam, Luang Prabang (traditional court music), music of the Khene flute (instrument of Laos), Vietiane and Chmapasak styles.

Thank you to all the native Laos people who helped me begin to learn and discover the sounds of this wonderful place. Also, Thank you you to Ae.

If you are in the California area and want to learn more about Lao culture, you can go to Sabaidee Fest (March 18-19).

What a beautiful night this was. Two of my friends even got engaged while I was playing, I put the volume down, told the crowd what happened and they cheered loudly. Quite a moment.

Thank you for being open to my creative randomness, yes- this set has all sorts of sounds inside it.

Most of these tracks & edits were created two days before the show, I made it in a sudden push of inspiration.

Episode 13 - Brazil

Brazil, one of the most precious places to me on this earth.
I was lucky enough to live in and out of Sao Paulo last year for a few months. Waking to papayas and acaí, trips to the padaria and through dense green jungly mountains, being shown a whole new world of music, rhythm and energy that is a complete contrast to what I had known before. I think that maybe explains at least a little of my fascination.

This one has been one of the hardest - how to squeeze this country into one hour? So many artists with so many gem tracks.
This mix is more about my favorite tracks than giving you a diverse 'unheard' selection.. this is only the beginning.
I’ll just have to do a part two!

Samba, Choro, Latin Jazz, Frevo, Bossanova, Tropicalia, and Forró are just a few of the styles of music you can find within Brazil’s rich, never-ending music offerings.

Sending love and thanks to all the Brazilian influences:
My dearest mountain family (gabito, rafael, mel, flippy), Flaneur magazine, andre, spaniol, kotoe, daniel ,ale, renato, voodoohop family, goethe institut sao paulo, sonido tropico, BLUM, carlos costa, quarto fresta, and many more that i’m sure i’ve forgotten in all my memories.

Love,
Billy

Experimentation and trial and error in Mexico and Thailand has lead me to a new creative project using Ableton to create loops, landscapes and moods, while adding modular synthesis, studio recordings and effects.

This all came together to be my first ‘DJ/live/hybrid’ piece.
This was a recording from an interview and mix I did for Flux Fm with Pawas earlier this year. Thanks for the invite guys!



Thank you for being there!

Tiny Bits of Extracted Sound Curiously Wobbling Around (Live Looping/DJ)

Imagine all the scenarios and feelings in your day to day life, there are many to think of.

In my new series ‘Home Comforts’ I aim to set the scene of those different life scenarios, designed for the comfort of your home or for when these moments present themself for real.

To begin I thought of no place better than home itself. This could have gone in many directions but I wanted to express what I myself might listen to at home. 
I wanted something non-intrusive yet guiding. To accompany working, sleeping, or contemplating your day when you finally turn the lights out.

Tip: Listen at a low volume in your living room or bedroom

Love,

Billy

Home Comforts - 01 - At Home

Preparing food can be a ritual.
It can calm the mind and focus thoughts in apprehension of smell, taste and quenching hunger.
Whether that be with friends, loved ones or alone, episode two of Home Comforts is about those cozy moments in the kitchen. 
The candles are lit as the smell of the meal drifts over. 
Your old friends come round, all gather in the kitchen while you chop, slice and they open the wine.

Enjoy
Love,

Billy

You get home from the club, drop the keys on the floor, you're tired, you're eyes can hardly stay open, but all your friends had the brilliant idea to make an after-hour at yours.

Imagine the scenario..
Cigarette lit, red wine on the counter, jazz and blues loud from behind, and a view over the newly green hills. You pick up your paint brush, and thats all there is to do that day, paint.

I love to throw many colours, random materials and tape on an empty floor, and get down on my knees and play and create something I had never thought of before. Though, of course there needs to be a soundtrack for that too..

I hope I can inspire you to do the same,
If any of you do end up painting something, please send it to me, I would be more than happy to see what you came up with!

Here is episode 8 of Home Comforts, Painting..

The home comforts series (along with my Barefoot Adventures) are a true way for me to express myself as an artist.

Its a different kind of experience to playing in a club, to making people dance. I want to take a moment to thank everyone of you who has supported it so far.  I appreciate some people may be put off when there aren’t beats and it isn’t within the club format.

I feel as if there is enough of that right now, and thats why I am focusing on other things for now.
The point of these projects I run is to give people more than one certain thing, to create moods and feelings relevant to all of us, whether that be your grandmother sitting by the fire, or you and your lover laying in the grass.

A big dream for me is to feel 100% open and free with my creative choices, not to feel locked into one sound or one stereotype, because after all aren’t we made of 60% water? Shouldn’t we flow and move in that way too?   We aren't concrete squares.

So once again, hugs for the support. Its a dream.

Here is my new Home Comforts, designed for your trip to the forest, to escape this madness and remind yourself what you are part of.
Inspired by my school days and our long youthful nights spent by the campfire, singing, beatboxing and staring into the abyss of those very flames. 

Love,

B

THE BAREFOOT ADVENTURES ⁠IS BACK.⁠
⁠
I am so happy to announce the return of my beloved barefoot adventures (world travel) series.⁠
⁠Remember, the target is to have discovered and mixed a tape for each and every of the 195 countries on this planet. Should take me about 4 more years.⁠
⁠
It's kind of a life goal. I want to identify every kind musical flavor that sits on this blue ball.⁠
⁠
How can a border create such different sounds and frequencies?⁠
⁠
On that note. What better place to celebrate the return with, than Mexico.⁠
⁠The last place I played since the world had its change.⁠
I look back with wanderlust with a selection of beaut 7"s I brought home from Mexico City.⁠
⁠
So so happy to be back.⁠

As the cold approaches, I head east to the vast and ancient lands of Mongolia. Over the rugged expanses, mountains and through its capital Ulaanbaatar. 
Learning about Mongolian culture was deeply fascinating and leaves me with a yearning curiosity to discover more of the history of Mongolia.

I decided to focus on the traditional side of sound.
My selection aims to showcase the rich tradition of throat singing (höömji), long song, court music, and Mongolian pop.

This month's episode focuses on Panama, a country diverse in rich wildlife, biodiversity and mixed culture.

I became fascinated with the somewhat electric energy of its musical traditions, ranging from salsa to reggae, jazz, cambia, pastille and tamborito. A country first influenced by the indigenous populations of Kunas, Teribes, Ngobe Bugle and others, then by the black population who were brought over, first as slaves from Africa, between the 16th century and the 19th century, and then voluntarily (especially from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Saint Lucia) to work on the Panamanian Railroad and Canal projects between the 1840s and 1914.

This lead to a diverse culture and sound.
Here is my take on what I found when digging through the musical history books of Panama.
