Yeah, very Coco, very mellow and chillaxing!

Island Vibrations

V2.1 Algaroba

V2.2 Como El Sol

A live house DJ set from the Coco Club at the Zap, Brighton from August 1992 recorded onto cassette (there's a picture of the box here for the C90 geeks). All mixing is live and from vinyl of course, that's my excuse for the less than perfect transitions. This was the night that Ten City played live so the selection is very much in the soulful, vocal house area. Nice vibes, I think.

LA MAISON DES MAAGIC NOODLES

Vinyl / Digital : https://40thievesmusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-gift-40-thieves-remixes

Long time Leng recording artists 40 Thieves are back with one of their most notable singles to date – a surprise collaboration with two NYC disco originals, storied vocalist Cinnamon Jones and multi-instrumentalist/producer Gary Davis.

San Francisco outfit 40 Thieves has been serving up cosmic, dubbed-out and otherworldly contemporary disco treats since the mid 2000s, and have been part of the Leng family since 2011. The crew, headed up by Layne Fox, Jay Williams and Corey Black, have released countless killer cuts on the label, as well as an expansive debut album, 2014’s The Sky Is Yours.

They’ve worked with other artists before, but nobody at the same legendary level as Cinnamon Jones and Gary Davis. The latter cut his teeth as a musician working with iconic disco producers Patrick Adams and Peter Brown at their P&P Records stable, before becoming a producer and artist in his own right writing and arranging the disco classic ‘Got To Get Your Love’ performed by Clyde Alexander & Sanction. Jones, meanwhile, has enjoyed a hugely successful career both in her native New York (as Joyce Jones, an original member of First Choice) and on the West Coast, where she not only became an in-demand performer, but also snagged a role in the Supremes biopic Dream Girls.

‘The Gift’ is one of Jones’ most cherished solo songs – a joyful celebration of a new day dawning that has long been popular in her live sets. With input and instrumentation from Davis and a fantastic delivery of her own lyrics by Jones, 40 Thieves has successfully re-framed the track as a sunrise-ready future Bay Area free party favourite; a dubbed-out, suitably cosmic creation that’s presented in three potent versions.

Leading the charge, and stretched across side A of the vinyl version is the band’s ’Disco Mix’ which boasts a fully realised instrumental arrangement and extensive use of passages from Jones’ vocals. Not all the lyrics are present as the Bay Area band has chosen to focus on selected lines that most neatly fit their musical vision and celebrate the joys of dancing at sunrise. There are more spaced-out keyboard solos, sharper guitars (smothered in effects in true 40 Thieves fashion) and sound design that’s as immersive as it is heady and intoxicated.

On the flip is the ‘Disco Dub’. A bona-fide dub disco chugger rich in relentless synth-bass, addictive guitar licks, echo-laden vocal snippets, sparkling nu-disco electronics, tactile, deep house style electric piano stabs and cosmic effects aplenty, it’s a track tailor-made for slowly shuffling while the sun peeps over the horizon.

To complete an inspired package, 40 Thieves have also included a killer DJ tool: a ‘Beats’ take that wraps energy packed percussion hits, trippy electronic noises, trailing dub delays and sparse melodies around a metronomic drum machine beat. It’s a wavy, groovy and pleasingly mind-altering way to conclude one of 40 Thieves’ most magical EPs to date.

Reinhard Vanbergen & Charlotte Caluwaerts produce florid psychedelic jazz on new single

‘We Belong’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The track features the legendary Dre Pallemaerts on drums. Alongside Vanbergen’s on bass and synthwork he supplies a treacherous maze of a groove through which Ms. Caluwaerts’ vocal samples ping pong lavishly.

The single comes of the duo’s forthcoming album, which is inspired by the work of Belgian filmmaker Kadir Ferati. The track is also accompanied by a video of his.

Reinhard Vanbergen, Charlotte Caluwaerts - We Belong - s0702

The Belgian artist and multi-instrumentalist is ready with another album. Circle Back comes as part of Vanbergen’s inspired-by-series: a run of albums written in inspiration by—and sometimes in cross-disciplinary collaboration with—special friends of the artist.

Circle Back (Inspired By Kadir Ferati Balci) →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

For this project Vanbergen turns to the Belgian filmmaker Kadir Ferati Balci as muse. Balci selected short fragments of his work, forming them into a kind of visual summaries of his oeuvre, ranging from films to docu. He added an extra dimension to these fragments, reversing parts and rendering everything in a circle.

The music is still a world unto itself. Eight jazz tracks each with a music video by Kadir Ferati Balci, accompanied by a hidden sequence, psychedelic sounds and alienating, contemplative, philosophical lyrics sung by Charlotte Caluwaerts.

The collaboration between Caluwaerts, Vanbergen and Balci is not new. On several projects Balci directed, the music was provided by the Vanbergen-Caluwaerts duo. This time, however, the music did not have to be functional, as was more the case with previous collaborations (docu about Stefan Hertmans, the series "Een Goed Jaar," the series "Storm Lara").

Vanbergen once graduated as a Jazz violinist at the Conservatory of Ghent. On this record he shows that. He enlists the help of Belgium's finest, Dre Pallemaerts and Lara Rosseel, on drums and double bass, and Charlotte Caluwaerts doesn't fail to show how broad her pallet has become over the years.

On the ‘Year-End’ the Swedish artist continues to demonstrate his ability to wring complex effects from primitive sound. It is a slow-growing music, with organic and electronic layers weaving into each other in striking harmonies.
