Bside Incoming: Merchant

The latest instalment of our Incoming series is a Bside extravaganza of global grooves spanning nearly three hours, courtesy of London based duo: Merchant.

Harry and Al began collecting and sharing records during their years at university in Bristol, since moving to London their passion for record digging has only grown, diving deep into genres and subcultures from all over the world. They have amassed, over the years, an impressive catalogue of rare treasures.

After a gentle introduction Merchant will be warming up the turntables with Reggae, Soca, Zouk with the energy rising and into some very tasty House.

020 John Ross

Over the years I've bumped into John here and there, all over the place. At one point, by chance, I even worked on an IT project with him, we never actually spoke, and I can only remember John being the guy who wore the large fancy headphones (probably an early sign of his passion for music). We'd continue to cross paths on those niche Facebook music groups too ('Rotation' for example). 

When we were opening Waxflower, he stuck out in my mind as someone who'd be great to have play through their no-doubt thoughtful collection. I knew he had spent time in Brazil and we'd talked about Bossa Nova collections, so I'd only hoped that we'd get to here worldly and carefully selected gems. That's exactly what happened! John has a truly wonderful trove of music, and this brilliant mix only begins trek his long path of digging.

Surfing in with rhythmic waves of Brazilian Bossa Nova, slowing it down into street soul-esque jams, and picking the tempo back up to close things out – There are only jams here, with Portuguese vocals and musing melodies trending through the whole mix.

“Some, may say,
I'm wishing my days away, no way!”

Ahoyyy there, it’s been a long time coming… We’re very excited to bring you season 2 of our Islander Casts! Wish a fresh paint job for the freshest of debuts, @ontherocks_brum takes the reins with this ohhhh so delicious mix. 

We met Connor last summer on the stunning Pembrokeshire coast of Wales at @westivalrecords Festival (Tickets already flying out for this year!). A fellow resident of the Rendezvous stage, curated by Harry & Al (the @merchantrecordslondon lads), Connor blew the roof of the place with his sublime record collection and we’ve had him in our crosshairs ever since! 

Him & his crew have been hosting some of Birmingham’s best parties at Cafe Artum and if you enjoyed this mix, be sure to bounce over to their Youtube channel for more digs.

Reencuentros Nº2

Bside podcasts

DJ's showcase and speak a little about their favourite tracks from the B-side of their records.

We endeavour to broadcast the best of the B-side:
a bi-weekly invitation into the impressive record collections of some of our favourite selectors.
An exploration into the the back-catalogues, the deepest depths, the darkest crevices of their collections. Returning with the spoils of this venture: their most cherished records and hidden gems, from the go-to club weapons to the rarely heard home-listening records, and everything in between.

Music is for sharing.

'By the early sixties, the song on the A-side was the 'hit' song that the record company wanted radio stations to play. The B-side would contain less radio friendly and less popular tracks. In our eyes the B-side is a true reflection of the producers taste in music, there is more personality on that side of the record'.
