MEMOLAS

"This 1 hour DJ mix is 90% vintage disco vinyl - mixed live on 2 x 1210s - accompanied by an analogue reggae doorbell generator with a BOSS Delay pedal, plus a few sexy idents thrown in for good measure.

Recorded at my good friend Mark Dix's house in Barcelona after recently playing the Curtis Audio Cafe in the city - we highly recommend that venue - the best audio set up in the city.

The name of the mix refers to the big black eye I am currently displaying due to an accidental clash of heads last week - yep that's me in the cover shot and that is my black eye.

Enjoy"

2013 saw the emergence of East London based studio outfit PAYFONE formed by Phil Passera and Jimmy Day with fellow musical collaborators Chieka Ononye & Royce Wood Junior.

The project set out with the objective that every musical element is 100% original and that no samples were to be used in the creation of these original productions.

After their fast-selling debut 12 'International Smark', PAYFONE continued to deliver a fine blend of electro-disco boogie via releases on New York's Golf Channel Recordings, and London based LENG & DEFECTED Records.

Next 12 inch release ' Put Your Face Away ' is due out in September on the duos own Otis Records imprint.

Mix of the Week #578: Charp - Wet Boogie 2

Claremont 56 founder Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy has been in a rich vein of creative form of late. Having released his first solo album in 18 years in 2024, the effervescent and picture-perfect 'In The Garden of Mindfulness', Murphy is well on his way to finishing solo LP number three – a set you’ll be able to hear in full later in 2025.

To get us in the mood, he’s offering up a two-track taster featuring instrumental takes on cuts that will appear as full-vocal songs on the final album. Both were written with, and feature instrumentation by, regular collaborator Michele Chiavarini, an Italian musician,
producer, composer, and arranger who has long been part of the Claremont 56 family.

Up first is ‘Mahalo (Instrumental Mix)’, a languid and emotion-rich groover built around a smooth, mid-tempo jazz-funk-goes-disco groove – think crispy drums, delay-laden hand percussion and rubbery bass guitar – and all manner of ear-catching musical details. As the track unfolds, you can expect to hear lilting strings, warming electric piano chords, mazy synth solos, heady horn-style blasts and glistening, eyes-closed guitar licks. It’s a genuinely superb slab of musically rich dancefloor warmth.

The track that follows, ‘Mata Ne’, is an altogether dreamier and more dub-influenced affair. Featuring some sublime piano playing from Chiaivarini, it sees Murphy layer simmering strings, cascading guitar licks, spacey synths and blissed-out melodic motifs atop
the kind of chunky, dubby groove that has long been one of his aural trademarks. Offering positivity and melancholia in equal measure, ‘Mata Ne’ is Mudd at his most musically majestic. His forthcoming album will be worth waiting for.

Not done one of these in a while, having recently stepped away from my residency in Edinburgh. Felt right to record one more before taking a breather and shifting focus.

On the hottest day of the year in the UK so far, here’s a mix of sun-drenched beauties to soundtrack it.

Catch you on the other side x

Simon Peter makes his Claremont 56 debut with a joyous slice of languid, organic Balearica entitled "Arc Of Lark". The young musician made his debut in February 2014 with the "Double Up EP" on Silhouette Music, which contained the shimmering nu-Balearic disco of “Espacio Temporal”. While that was laden with sun-kissed synthesizers, “Arc of Lark” is a much more organic affair. Blissful electric piano keys, hazy guitars and fluttering flutes cascade over an undulating live bassline and shuffling, bongo-laden beats. Warm and humid, it’s a slice of audible sunshine to brighten up the grim winter months.Long-time friends of the family 40 Thieves handle remix duties, turning Simon Peter’s picturesque original into an effects-laden chunk of slo-mo dub disco goodness. 40 Thieves member Layne Fox loved the track so much that he’s also contributed an additional remix that focues the action around a loose, languid, dub reggae influenced groove, spiralling electronics and Peter’s mesmerizing flute line. It’s a fitting conclusion to a magical label debut.
