Alma and I love it, and we're chillin' right now!

Dear Carizm: Alma and I are once again chillin with this wonderfull mix! Much love to you from both of us!

A slow cruise through the misty swamp-with Zeus and Junior Kincaid at the controls,soaked in Bourbon with a smokey shrimp infused flavor.
The music was compiled onto a cassette in late 2009 hence its gritty nature, previous to a visit to east krost springs louisiana as a form of inspiration and to serve as a travelogue. whilst in this bewitching town we met many beautiful, friendly and strange people, some courtesy of a peyote ritual but all of them we would like to add had a certain spirit that this music evoked in our conscious and subconscious thoughts and feelings during our brief visit. what was intended as a record-buying mission turned into a quest within us that transcended the trappings of the 12" and 7" format limitations - this was bigger! what really happened metaphysically we would rather not discuss but let you hear within the mix. this aside, the sounds are culled from the present, past, future and beyond! the dawn of 1970s 'swamp rock' a far more pronounced genre. shades of country with a dash of psychedelia maybe? it's in the marination. a hybrid of sorts. if you can imagine the smell of barbecue on the bayou, the everglade still tide awash with alligators and crawfish, the gentle howl of a wolf and the sweet smell of a shotgun's blast all smothered in bourbon and hot sauce then you are close. if not listen harder. we have. wrap up warm at nightfall....

Aleqs Notal - FABRICLIVE X ClekClekBoom Mix

House with capital H! Nedda Sou delivers soul-infused, jazz-taught house grooves. Her way of mixing is breathing sensuality and the mix feels like a medicine for the soul to smooth the cracks in your life. Tracks that feel like they have been ageing for years, as if there is a layer of dust on the thick groaning basslines, organ vamps and warm vocals. It’s hits the exact spot to feel the blissful vibrations of what house can reach within. Back-beat drums and jackin’ house patterns, Roland 808 rhythms, wobbly mystic synths and the deep vocals in DJ Qu his track “Step Back Up”, makes you want to dive into a journey of the spirit.

Crocodiles Of Snow

The virtuoso known as GE-OLOGY is a rare find. The gifted music producer, and exceptionally skilled DJ has been acclaimed for over two decades where he's worked with the likes of Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Jill Scott and De La Soul, and he's done a very special mix for the 32nd edition of our Mix series! 

TRACKLIST: From the personal collection.

GE-OLOGY's own words on the mix:
What a year 2020 has been. In various ways, it uprooted so many of our lives and brought us into this temporary new age of social distancing...essential to fighting the pandemic, but unnatural in comparison to the social norms, habits and behaviors we had previously been used to. With social gatherings severely restricted, it has forced us into our own imagination to find new ways to feed our souls the human touch and intermingling we thirst for, but once took for granted. In response, Zoom video conferencing parties have become a thing, as well as live DJ sets on Instagram and Twitch. But with this explosion of live performances from the comforts of ones home to ours, it's still not a comparable substitute for the deep and beautiful culture of live music performances in small smoky bars, or steamy basement parties, or crowded arenas packed with a sea of people, or club nights headlining our favorite DJs...or even traveling to exotic music festivals in foreign outdoor lands. 
 
With this in mind, I took some time to reflect on so many of the priceless experiences I've been fortunate enough to enjoy over such a significant portion of my lifetime so far...and I couldn't be more grateful. The love and dedication I hold deep in my soul for music, and the art of DJing stems from my appreciation of the brilliant musicians who created compositions that spoke to me, funky rhythms that moved me naturally, and skillful creative Disc Jockeys that knew how to tell stories through vinyl records like literary masters use words in poetry. This love, most-importantly, stems back to my family, and how music has played such an important role in all of our lives. It's directly connected to many of my greatest childhood memories, and has helped to shape me into the person I am today. 
 
In honor of my family, as well as my extended music family around the world, and the great legacy of live music and club nights that so many of us miss, I wanted to do something very special with this mix. I decided to approached this from various angles...building it up gradually as I would playing 'all-nght-long' at my residency club night in NYC, with a lot of rare, funky and beautiful records from my collection, some very pricey these days...some inexpensive, taking the listener on an extensive 2 hour (120 mins + 20 secs) sonic journey of beautiful melodies, rhythms, voices and instrumentation, with some old school style "A cappella" blends, intersecting various genres from Hip Hop to Soul to Jazz-Funk to Gospel to Disco to pure African dance floor HEAT! Definitely one of my favorite and most fun mixes I've recorded over the years. Food for the heart and soul. ENJOY!
