Before @busy-p-official was Busy P, Pedro Winter was a kid who would skate the streets of Paris, where he was born. He first picked up a skateboard in 1989 and even after his interests and passions had drifted elsewhere, one core skate tenet stuck with him: No matter how many times you fall, the important thing is to get back up and go again. By the time 1995 came, Busy P had gravitated to DJing, with the same mantra guiding what he did, playing oddball sets that clashed rap and electronic music in a way that many considered to be weird. 

He started to organize his own dance nights and became part of a creative circle of friends that included artists like Motorbass, @cassiusofficial, @etienne-de-crecy or @daftpunkofficialmusic – the 18th arrondissement gang that would eventually become global superstars of the “French Touch” movement. As well as his rise as a DJ, Busy P became the manager of Daft Punk in 1996, helping guide the two human robots for twelve years on their voyage from local heroes to, as he put it in the Carhartt WIP 25th anniversary archive book, “the biggest rock stars in the galaxy.”

In 2003 he launched Ed Banger Records, the seminal French label that has housed the likes of Uffie, @justice-official, Mr. @oizo-mr-3000, @breakbot, @feadz-1, @sebastian1-music and more recently @myd. Known for its pop-influenced electronic sound, which incorporates elements of hip hop, disco, and electro, the label has constantly pushed genre boundaries. 

For Carhartt WIP Radio, Busy P conducted a mix that, in his words, explores the “darker side of the label.” It features under-the-radar gems by producers like @krazy-baldhead, @mr-flash, Zongamin and Borussia, as well as lesser-known tunes by iconic acts like Mr Oizo, Cassius and DJ Mehdi. 

We also sat down with Busy P, discussing upcoming @edbangerrecords releases, our uncertain pandemic times, the break-up of Daft Punk, and some things he’s always wanted to do, but hasn’t done yet.

Carhartt WIP Radio May 2021: Busy P - Ed Banger Radio Show

In the latest episode of our monthly podcast series RELEVANT PARTIES, host Chal Ravens delves into Detroit’s rich musical history, exploring the world of @mahoganimusic, the label founded by iconic DJ and producer Kenny Dixon Jr., better known as @moodymann313.

Since 2002, the imprint has drawn on the musical soul of Motor City. Its output incorporates a slew of genres – house, hip-hop, jazz, funk, soul – with a catalogue that features music from the likes of @ampfiddler, Celebrity BBQ Sauce Band, @dezandres, @jdilla, Rick Wilhite, and of course Moodymann. Over time, the label has become both a cornerstone of the city’s music scene, and symbolic of Detroit’s seminal contribution to global dance music culture.

In the 12th RELEVANT PARTIES episode, UK music journalist Chal Ravens speaks to Traci Washington and Florence J. Leigh (@floreal1), the women who keep Mahogani Music running from their respective bases in Detroit and Vienna, Austria. They reflect on their unusual roles as caretakers and collaborators on this resolutely underground label and on the unique artistry of the label’s founder. The episode also features insights from label staples such as Amp Fiddler, Dez Andres, and Norma Jean Bell.

This episode marks the end of RELEVANT PARTIES Vol. 2. The podcast will return in Fall/Winter 2021 with a new season and format, which explores cities that have impacted our musical landscape and the subcultures that underpin them. Stay tuned.

For the first show of 2022, Carhartt WIP Radio welcomes @dj-spinna-1, the legendary hip hop and deep house innovator from Brooklyn, NYC.

For 30 years Spinna has been a vital part of his hometown’s music legacy.

Blidge, or Steve Wonder.

Since his earliest days, he has been known as an eclectic dj, playing music at the cross-section of hip hop, house, soul, r&b, funk, and jazz. He is also an early proponent of parties dedicated to one artist. His “WONDER-full” DJ nights dedicated to Steve Wonder, and his “Soul Slam” events, better known as the “Michael Jackson VS Prince” parties, became celebrated gatherings all over the USA.

Carhartt WIP Radio January 2022: DJ Spinna Show

This month’s show explores the soundtrack of INSIDE OUT, Carhartt WIP’s new full length skate film, which was shot across four European cities by director Joaquim Bayle and cinematographer Angelo Marques. Featuring the likes of Ibu Sanyang, Felipe Bartolomé, and Tolia Titaev, the film plays with the dynamic of spectator and participant, immersing the viewer in the lives of a skate team garnered from Milan, Madrid, London, and Paris.

The moments of stillness are perhaps what best defines the film. They are brief, delivered often as silent vignettes or as murmured, unrehearsed lines. Other moments of calm are soundtracked by artists like the Nigerian legend @mammansani or London-based Grime MC @Novelist. Yet there’s a duality to the film’s score, where the sludge-rock sounds of King Krule and high-energy motorik rhythms of @mountkimbie frame the skaters’ explosive tricks. 

The INSIDE OUT Carhartt WIP Radio show deconstructs the soundtrack and reimagines it in an entirely new sequence, as an arc with a rise, peak and fall, peppered with skate sounds and dialogue from the film.

To accompany the show we spoke to Joaquim Bayle, the Paris-based director and photographer who shared some insights about the making of INSIDE OUT. Read our chat at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

tracklist:
1. Mamman Sani - Five Hundred Miles
2. Novelist - Stay With Me
3. Shlohmo - Headache of the Year
4. Doon Kanda – Axolotl
5. Lebanon Hanover - Totally Alive
6. SL2 - Way In My Brain
7. King Krule – Stoned Again (Visual Experience)
8. Show Me the Body - Metallic Taste
9. Mount Kimbie - Blue Train Lines (feat. King Krule)
10. Vegyn – When I Strike....

Carhartt WIP Radio March 2022: Inside Out

Next up on Carhartt WIP Radio is @herrensauna, a Berlin based party collective and label dedicated to the harder edges of techno. Launched in Berlin in October 2015 by the Viennese DJs Nicolas Endlicher aka @thetruemcmlxxxv and @cemdukkha, the party quickly became a mainstay of Berlin’s vibrant nightlife scene. 

After hosting parties in various locations around the city, Herrensauna found a permanent home at Tresor club in 2017 and launched their eponymous record label, releasing three 10inch vinyls, before the pandemic slowed their prolific output. Instead of being disheartened, they compiled a Herrensauna label compilation, featuring Danish producers @sugar_fastforward and Historical Repeater, and also began making clothes. 

The latter led to their soon-to-be-released capsule collection with Carhartt WIP. To celebrate the release of the Herrensauna x Carhartt WIP capsule collection, Cem and MCMLXXXV conducted a mix for Carhartt WIP Radio that features fresh Herrensauna techno music by artists like Icelandic producer ©volruptus and Slikback (@freddymn) from Nairobi, Kenya.

To accompany the show we spoke to MCMLXXXV and Cem, who shared some rare insights about their label and party with us. Read our chat at www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

Next up on Carhartt WIP Radio is the Chicago-based DJ and producer Jana Rush, who began DJing at the age of ten, before making her production debut a few years later on Jesse Saunders’ legendary Dance Mania imprint.

Following the release of “DJ Deeon Presents the Youngest Female DJ” in 1996, Rush became a regular at Chicago juke, footwork, and house events, playing alongside legends like the late DJ Rashad. Between 1996-2015, she went on hiatus to concentrate on a life outside of music, working as a chemical engineer by day and a CAT scan technologist by night.

In 2017, Jana Rush returned with her first full length album “Pariah”. It kicked off a series of shows around the world in venues such as Chicago’s Smartbar and Berlin’s Berghain, and at festivals like Rewire in The Hague.
 
During the pandemic, Rush found the time to work on her second album “Painful Enlightenment'', released on Planet Mu in 2021. The album is a move away from familiar footwork sounds into more abstract territories. The exclusive mix Rush created for Carhartt WIP Radio is just as experimental – or in her own words, “unapologetically Jana Rush.” Accompanying the mix is an interview with Rush touching on the current state of the Chicago house scene, eschewing social media to focus on her craft, and what she has in the pipeline. www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

This month Carhartt WIP Radio welcomes Cindy Li aka @ciel_dj, a Canadian DJ, producer, event host, and label manager. Ciel has been making waves in Toronto since the launch of her radio show in 2015 titled “Work In Progress.” Following its success, she began throwing a series of progressive parties under the same name in the area.
 
As a producer, Ciel is prolific. In 2017, she released her debut EP “Electrical Encounters“ on UK label @peachdiscs, which was followed by four more EPs and a mini-album "Trojan Horse". Her work is eclectic, featuring four-to-the-floor rhythms as well as more experimental ambient and New Age sounds. In 2019, Li launched the label Parallel Minds (@weareparallelminds) alongside artists like Daniel 58 (@58daniel) and Yohei S, (@whyesss) designed to bring progressive, Toronto-based electronic music artists to the rest of the world. Ciel’s DJ sets are just as dynamic as her own productions, refusing to conform to one particular genre. Shifting from breaks to electro, or minimal techno to jungle, their versatility reflects her love of different sounds.
 
For Carhartt WIP Radio, Ciel has put together a vibrant mix featuring purely original, unreleased material, melding house and break atmospheres, with flashes of techno and deep dub throughout.

As ever, we sat down with this month’s host, discussing how classical music training both helped and hindered her as an artist, the representation of women within electronic music, and her work as an encampment support volunteer. Check the full interview here:

The host for this month’s edition of Carhartt WIP Radio is @flohiomusic, the dynamic London-based rapper who first made waves in 2016 with her debut EP Nowhere Near, and gained further acclaim with the release of her EP Wild Yout in 2018. 

Flohio’s style is inimitable, her production choices ever expansive. Previously working with the likes of Modeselektor, JETS, and L-Vis 1990, the artist’s body of work demonstrates her ability to cut through a range of genres, from experimental electronic to high-octane hip hop. Her upcoming album “Out of Heart”, out on 7th October, sees her working again with leftfield production duo @god-colony. 

Featured as part of Carhartt WIP’s Fall/Winter 2022 campaign, Flohio appears alongside NTS WIP artist Tweaks, London rapper Lord Apex, and the Carhartt WIP skate team in a series of images that zero in on the brand’s roots in music and skateboarding. This isn’t the first time Flohio has collaborated with the brand. In 2017 she featured in 2117, a publication which celebrated the iconic chore coat.

In this episode, Flohio has prepared a show with God Colony in which the group discusses the making of her debut album, while playing some exclusive teaser tracks from the LP.

Now, the label covers a wide range of genres such as ambient, neo-classic, folk, hip hop, dub, electronic, as well as indie rock and minimal. Its ever-growing roster features artists like British composer Richard Skelton, Indonesian musician Senyawa, UK producer @lorainejames, and the up-and-coming Baltimore hip hop producer Infinity Knives (@jon-reed-9).
 
For this edition of Carhartt WIP Radio, Phantom Limb founder James Vella created a mix that, in his own words, functions as a “bird’s eye view” for new listeners, and highlights some “deep cuts from the vaults” for existing fans. The mix also offers a glimpse into Phantom Limb’s 2023. 

As ever, the show is accompanied by an interview with Vella, who discusses how growing up in a musical family led him to launch his own label; maintaining relationships with artists all around the world; and the “guts, teeth, brain and heart” of great music. www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

Carhartt WIP Radio December 2022: Phantom Limb

For the first show of 2023, Carhartt WIP Radio is welcoming DJ, producer, label founder, and NTS resident @elenacolombi. Colombi’s foray into DJing began over a decade ago, when she moved to London from Italy, and set up a series of successful parties in the city. Her sets became known for their expansive influences and genre-bending rhythms. In 2019, Colombi crystallized her reputation as an eclectic selector by launching her label @osare-editions.
 
Originally founded as a way of reissuing music by Greek artist Thanasis Zlatanos, the label evolved into a platform for daring, experimental, and future-facing releases, rolled out in genres like acid, ambient, coldwave, synth pop, or techno. Osàre! Editions acts include Inkasso and Novo Line from Berlin, Suemori from Tokyo, and L/F/D/M from London.
 
For this Carhartt WIP Radio installment, Colombi created a mix that leans towards the softer and more meditative zones of Osàre! Editions, featuring music of artists like Cucina Povera, Ben Bertrand, or Laurel Halo. As ever, the show is accompanied by an interview with Colombi, who discusses everything from how a stolen cassette tape sparked her curiosity in different sounds to what her favorite tracks are for closing out a party. www.carhartt-wip.com/journal/music

Carhartt WIP Radio April 2023: The Myth Of Drexciya

For May 2023 Carhartt WIP Radio welcomes @sneakersocialclub, an independent label which began in 2011 and is run by Jamie Russell aka @lowendactivist. In addition to being a producer and DJ, Russell also helms a number of other imprints, including BRUK, Low End Activism, @artefaxrecords, and @hypercolourrecords – which he co-runs with DJ & producer @alexhypercolour.
 
Although Sneaker Social Club’s name comes from Russell’s love of sneakers, its output is much more aligned with the UK hardcore continuum, echoing everything from jungle and breaks, to early 2000s grime and dubstep.
 
For this show, Russell has gone through the label’s back catalogs, putting together a mix with his favorite tracks released on the imprint so far.  As ever, the mix is accompanied by an interview, where Russell discusses his many different imprints and aliases, why he relishes the process of production over DJing, and being inspired by the rhythm of a washing machine.

Carhartt WIP radio travels east and features a funky Origami Productions mix by DJ BAKU. The Japanese based label was born from the 'Tokyo Jam Scene' - an underground movement started in the Shibuya district in 2006 involving musicians, singers, and rappers. The scene encouraged improvisation within the diverse fields of Jazz, hip hop, soul, funk, reggae and rock. The results were unique to those having grown up in Japanese music culture. In 2007, intent on bringing the 'Tokyo Jam Scene' to the world stage, Yoshi Tsushima pulled together a creative team and called it Origami Productions, which now distributes releases to Asia and Europe. The label has since composing, recording, mixing and generating their own artwork, as well as collaborations with painters, photographers, graphic designers, and such musical luminaries as Arrested Development, Hocus Pocus and Stephanie Kay, sharing the music and art of Shibuya with the world.

For this month’s Carhartt WIP Radio Show, we present almost two hours minutes of Trojan Records music, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the iconic reggae label. Curated by Canadian DJ, producer and record collector Scott Monteith, aka Deadbeat, the show sees him dig deep into his personal collection and the archives of Trojan Records to conduct a mix that mirrors the many ska, rocksteady, reggae and dub hues of the British label.
 
Founded in 1968, Trojan introduced reggae to a global audience while scoring UK chart hits with artists such as The Upsetters, Desmond Dekker, Jimmy Cliff and The Maytals. Additionally, the label licensed Jamaican music by legendary producers such as Duke Reid and Leslie Kong, helping take their sounds global.
 
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, Carhartt WIP has also joined forces with Trojan Records to create a capsule collection featuring feverish graphics by the Chicago based design collective Boot Boyz, who were given access to the vast Trojan graphic archive.

Carhartt WIP Radio August 2018: Deadbeat - Trojan Records Radio Show

This month Carhartt WIP Radio features a musical journey by producer, DJ and Akashik Records co-founder Ringgo Ancheta, aka Mndsgn. Raised with Gospel music at church and B-Boy culture at home in south New Jersey, he began experimenting with beat making when he was 14, before befriending fellow producer Knxwledge. The two would eventually go on to form the influential Klipmode collective.

After moving to Los Angeles, Mndsgn's music flourished, catching the attention of labels such Stones Throw and Leaving Records, who put out his albums Yawn Zen, Surface Outtakes and Body Wash. His latest project is titled Snax – a mixtape brimming with esoteric hip hop flavours and freshly cut Mndsgn remixes, and one which also serves as the debut release for his brand new label Ringgo.

About to embark upon a European tour – presented by Carhartt WIP – which will take him to Lisbon, Madrid, Cologne, Berlin, London, The Hague and Milan, we asked him to prepare a show that focuses on the releases of Akashik Records, the little DIY label he has run with his buddies Alima and Shane Sakanoi since 2015. The result is a unique, nonchalant mix of twisted contemporary electronics, driving funk, hot soul, agitating hip hop, and silky R&B.

Los Angeles based DJ, multi-instrumentalist, rapper, and music producer Madlib let his mind free wheeling and prepared a Carhartt WIP Radio show that accompanies the Medicine Show Europe Tour 2012 featuring Freddie Gibbs, J Rocc, and himself. His mix features unreleased, unheard, and exclusive Madlib material in combination with some known stuff out of his musical universe. An edgy twisted, 47 minutes long collage that melds hip hop and audio drama into one big psychedelic trip.

Carhartt WIP Radio October 2012: Madlib - Medicine Radio Show Pt. 2

For this month’s Carhartt WIP Radio show we bring you FloFilz, one of Germany’s most in-demand hip hop producers. Since 2013 he has released instrumental records on labels such as Melting Pot Music and Jakarta, with a style that seductively blends soul- and jazz-influenced grooves.

FloFilz’s first two albums as a beatmaker were collaborative works, and in late 2014 he released his first solo LP titled "Metronom". Four instrumental albums have since followed, cementing his reputation as jazz-connoisseur producer, who seeks to open up the genre to a new generation of listeners.

For his Carhartt WIP Radio show, he melds older work with tracks from his upcoming album "Transit". As usual we also sat down to speak to this month’s host, chatting about his upbringing, Bach and J Dilla, and his thoughts on Germany’s hip hop scene. Make sure to check out the full FloFilz interview on our Carhartt WIP website and enjoy the music.

Carhartt WIP Radio June 2019: FloFilz Radio Show

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Motown, the iconic record label launched in 1959 in Detroit, Michigan by Berry Gordy Jr., Carhartt WIP will release a thirteen-piece capsule collection in the coming weeks. The collaboration honors a label that reshaped the sound of American pop music, diversifying its airwaves in the process. 

To mark the collection launch, we reached out to Detroit native Kenny Dixon Jr. aka Moodymann and asked him to prepare a strictly Motown music Carhartt WIP Radio show, that displays his personal love for the label.
 
As Moodymann is not man for hasty reactions, he delivered a detailed mix featuring rare b-sides, interviews and live recordings by Motown artists like Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Steve Wonder, Kem and Dazz Band. Asked about his very own feelings towards his mix, Kenny Dixon Jr. simply says: “No matter where I‘m standing it’s good to hear home sometimes. These songs are woven into the soundtrack of my own personal movie.”  There is nothing more to add, only: enjoy the ride!

Carhartt WIP Radio November 2019: Moodymann plays Motown Radio Show

While London’s music scene has rightly received considerable attention in recent years thanks to its burgeoning grime and drill scenes, the work of west London MC Lord Apex eschews this categorization, with a sound that skews more stateside. Notably, he cites Knxwledge as one of his favorite producers, and his particular strain of neo-soul infused beats. Much of Lord Apex’s music sits within this hard-to-define genre, which seeks to provide a contemporary framework for hip hop’s lingua franca. But despite the evident sonic influence of American rap on Lord Apex’s, his smooth distinct drawl and subject matter leave you in little doubt of his London credentials.

For Carhartt WIP Radio, Lord Apex takes us on a rhythmic journey, assembled by his friend DJ Corrado, showcasing his own vast catalogue of tracks. As ever, we also sat down with this month’s host to discuss his musical upbringing, how London influence’s his sound, and hip hop on both sides of the pond.
