"You don't sound like anyone else," said Danny Thompson - renowned bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English musician Conil.

The GRAMMY-winning engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, Tchad Blake said: "Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album! I still listen to it."

Fleetwood Mac legend Peter Green liked Conil's music so much he stopped by Conil’s house to record with him. They recorded a version of Conil's homage to the jazz greats "Round Midnight". 

Strange Part of the Country never conformed to any current trends and has remained timeless. Now, people are discovering this album and it is becoming an all-time favourite. 

When the album was released in the UK, it received some amazing press. Britain's biggest selling music monthly Q magazine gave it: "Four stars - Q Recommends". Blues Matters magazine wrote: "One of the most original artists out there". In the next issue, Blues Matters put him on the front cover.

Conil left London after Strange Part of the Country was released and has spent the last ten years living in the United States and Europe - including New Orleans, New York City, and Berlin.

OZAN (#stillmiami) is the DJ project of musical whizz Ozan Bozdag. Surrounded by all sorts and types of music, selecting them carefully into his sets. 

Bringing a 4/4 mix of dirty electro, dark basses, timeless melodies, ethnic anthems and pounding Techno music to the dancefloor.

Born and raised in Izmir, Turkey; Ozan started his career on birth, receiving blood from a local musician. This story defines the path on how Ozan sees music till this day. 

Classical music training and moving to Belgium started to give Ozan more opportunities. Playing in local rockbands in his early teens, enrolling in a music high school and conservatory afterwards. 
The beatmaster and key virtuoso started spinning the decks after co-producing OSCAR AND THE WOLF’s award-winning debut “ENTITY” and shaping the live-set of the band. With a lot to celebrate, parties and afterparties became somewhat of a second habitat for this Turkish multi-musician. After many nights that ended with him behind the decks spinning his favorite tunes, bringing his set to bigger crowds.

He continues to share his talent with others on songwriting and (live) production. In his down time he continues to work on his own music, which will be released in the near future.

“During my set anything goes, whether it’s an melodic-techno classic track or an ethnic deep house banger, it just has to sound deep and tingly. You dig?”

"a selector of tunes, trying to create the right atmosphere for the right moments… "

Charlie Fraîche, Jimbo Jones, and Charles Noir are all alter egos of one person: Adri, who began his journey as a party promoter in the early 2000s. Together with his friend DJ Whizz and their crew SmileyTribe, he played a key role in growing the Belgian psychedelic progressive scene.

Not long after, he stepped behind the decks himself and now you’ll find him performing under one of his three distinct aliases:

Charlie Fraîche is the storyteller... spinning tales filled with funky beats. From hypnotic deep house to atmospheric techno, from groovy minimal to funky nu disco... think outside the box and dance like nobody's watching.

Jimbo Jones is a different story... an eclectic journey through all styles and genres, smoothly mixed from one into another. Whatever fits the moment, whatever moves the crowd.

Charles Noir the most enigmatic of the three, emerges when night falls. His sound blends dark disco and indie dance into a moody, hypnotic atmosphere... music that lingers like a dream and moves like a ritual. For those drawn to shadowy grooves and late-night reverie, Charles Noir speaks your language.

Adri has performed at festivals and parties across Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Hungary, Sweden, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, and has played in renowned Belgian venues such as Fuse, Ampère, and Vaag.

In this series, I create a lengthy mix, solemnly made with carefully selected music, intertwined with historical audio recordings, and recognisable or less recognisable movie quotes. 
All of them exactly 40 years old in the year I constructed the mix.

This concept started in 2019, with a mix from 1979.

And off we go, every year, one new edit.
