Lèspri Ka, Pt 2 (Gwoka special)

This week we welcome Cedric Lassonde aka Cedric Woo, a DJ, digger, label owner and party host. Born in France but now residing in London.

A lover of all things cosmic, deep, organic & tropical, Cedric is well known & respected for his deep selections of world music as well as throwing some of the best grassroots resident parties in London. He is also closely affiliated to the likes of Brilliant Corners & Giant Steps and will be playing Houghton Festival this weekend!

Alongside Belle Bete and Jeremy Gilbert, Ced is founder and musical host at Beauty & the Beat a party which has been running since 2005. The party has an open minded approach to musical styles and is known for its excellent analogue sound system- in fact it’s the UK’s longest running monthly "audiophile" party and holds David Mancuso and his Loft party as key inspirations. 

Since 2018 Ced has also been running a sister party known as All Our Friends alongside Belle Bete and author, Tim Lawrence who is also behind the Lucky Cloud Soundsystem party! Their next party is 10th September - check their site out for details.

When not spinning records, Ced co runs the Beauty & the Beat label and has also released some of his own edits on there. He curates records for labels such as Kay Suziki’s superb Time Capsule label with his latest output being the Lèspri Ka compilation which is a beautiful collection of  Gwo Ka music from Guadeloupe, check it out via their bandcamp if you haven’t already.

For this mix Ced has recorded a 2 hour excursion into the world of pan-African, Caribbean & Afro-cosmic world music, recorded at his home listening lounge using 2x 1210s and a E&S DJR 400 mixer.

Very few parties in London attract a following as prolific and faithful as Beauty and the Beat. The East London escapade is run by Cyril Cornet (Belle Bête), Jem and Cedric Woo. It is a party which has spanned more than a ten year legacy, inspiring dancers and encouraging freedom within musical diversity at every turn. As such, there is is no preconceived sound, the music is free flowing and has become a firm favourite amidst selectors and dj's galore. However, what has always been most prevalent is the commitment of the residents behind the scenes. 

Cedric Woo remains an innovative figure within music culture in the capital, the French disc jockey has a renowned reputation for his selection and digging. His own sets are far reaching and draws from a broad remit of influences. No two sets are the same and every time he delivers something as uniquely sumptuous as the last, a true dj in the purest sense. 

It was with much delight that he chose to place this mix with Ransom Note, a formidable collection of music spanning a breadth of genres and style collected from various visits overseas.

Cedric Woo: The 'Wednesday Alternative' Mix

Biberonné à la musique de Pink Floyd et grand amateur de musiques latines, Cedric Woo organise depuis 2005 les soirées Beauty & The Beat à Londres où se mêle sons audiophiles et musiques cosmiques tropicales.
C'est en repensant à un after chez lui où les chaussures étaient enlevées, la discussion inexistante mais les oreilles grandes ouvertes qu'il nous a proposé cette sélection. 
Une ambiance de rêve pour jouer des morceaux atypiques et des grooves organiques : " Tout se danse même quand il n'y a pas de beat".
