Histoires de Piscine 128 by COBEIA

Feat. great bands: Pavement, Bugsküll, Built to Spill, Guv'ner, Sebadoh, Sammy, Guided by Voices, Dinosaur Jr, Polvo, Silver Jews... 

US/Canada 90's Indie Rock & Lo-Fi are genres I cherish, although few people know about it.

Most people never heard these songs, this was 90s indie music that not many listened to back then, even more so outside of the English western music world (USA, UK, Australia...). 

This Indie scene wasn't that much connected to grunge (different scenes, cities and mindset), Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins and so on, had exploded into the early 90s alternative rock tidal wave that shook & drastically changed the mainstream music landscape to the ground - ending the 80s/90s dominance of the hair-sprayed Metal bands era like Poison, Europe, Bon Jovi... - in the wake of Nirvana's "Nevermind" deflagration. It was a massive cultural shift driven by a new generation. I remember watching MTV before Nirvana as a young teenager, and hating most "rock" music that was on there...

Although metal bands like Guns N' Roses had emerged with a more gritty sound and were huge for a long time, as time went by in the 90s they lost more & more relevance and couldn't stop the massive impact of the grunge/alternative rock cultural revolution and its long-lasting influence, even after the death of Kurt Cobain and the disbandment of other bands of the era. 

Although older and from another generation, and having started around 1980, there was a link/kinship between Sonic Youth and some of the 90s indie bands included in this mix such as Pavement, with whom they shared stages and backstages on several occasions, Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr, or Eric's Trip (a song by Sonic Youth and the name of one of the members of the band). Although Canadians, Eric's trip landed a contract and put out several albums on Sub Pop, Seattle Nirvana's early label. Sonic Youth outlived almost every other band until the separation and subsequent divorce of founding members Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore in 2011.

In my school in Geneva, only one guy was into indie rock, lo-fi... and none of my friends liked this. I was always going on my own to the few shows that made it to town or Switzerland. Saw Cat Power playing solo at La Dolce Vita in Lausanne, Guv'ner in a Geneva squat, Sebadoh at Fri-Son... Barely 18, I hitch-hiked my way across the whole country to the Rote Fabrik in Zurich in 1995 with an older Portuguese guy I had met at a few concerts, to see the Big Cat Tour feat. Pavement (with two drummers)! www.last.fm/de/festival/268613+Big+Cat 

Was a great music night at Zurich's legendary flagship alternative venue/areal Rote Fabrik. I will always fondly remember Pavement, Mercury Rev and Dirty Three especially, as well as Blumfeld, a great German band. We ended up sleeping on a bare mattress in the attic of a squat near the Zurich train station, then somehow hitch-hiked our way back to Geneva, dirty from the whole trip, between a ride in a truck that left us half way at a gas station kinda in the middle of nowhere, before being super lucky not too long after, when a nice Mercedes with a Geneva license plate pulled over to fuel, and the guy incredibly agreed to take us back for a two hours ride into his beautiful car straight to Geneva! 

Anyway, that's for the memories. Curious to see if this music will resonate and reach a new audience now! It's the 90s revival after all! ;) 

Enjoy, like, share & leave some comments! ❤️‍🔥

Cobeia - 90's US Indie Rock/Lo-Fi Mix

In STEALTH by Sonallah Ibrahim, the narrator, a boy living in Cairo sneaks around the city spying on its citzens. By taking in its sights, sounds, and smells, the boy creates a portraint of 1950s Cairo. In a previous post, we explored those sights with an animation by Nathaniel Whitcomb who created a motion collage from the mid-century Cairo photographs of Don Church. Now, we present to you a mix of popular 1950s Egytian music compiled by Brian Shimkovitz of Awesome Tapes From Africa. 

1. Samia Gamal “Ay Ya Zein” [Oh Beautiful] (from the film Valley of the Kings) 
2. Um Kalthoum “Howa Sahih El-Hawa Ghallab” [Is It True That Love Is Irresistible?]
3. Laila Murad “Men Al Qalb Lel-Qalb Rasool” [Heart to Heart] (from the film Heart to Heart)
4. Fareed al-Atrash “Hebeena Hebeena” [Love Us, Love Us] (from the film Nagham Fi Hayati)
5. Mohamed Abdel Wahab “El Sudan”
6. Laila Mourad “Abgad Hawaz”
7. Mohamed Abdel Wahab “Ahebo Mahma Ashof Meno”
8. Farid Shawqi & Yehia Chahine with dancer Naemat Mokhtar [title unknown] (from the film The Black Knight)

STEALTH Mix: Awesome Tapes From Africa for New Directions

This mix/performance was part of the MEG-AIMP / Réveil des Archives Sonores series: 
N.18 w/ @Cobeia (music curator of @ecoutesauvert) 11-05-23 / 18:30 - 20 in the Museum foyer

I was invited to do a vinyl DJ set at the Museum of Ethnology in Geneva (MEG) from their extensive archives. 

On that day, I was given access to dig in a Collection that belonged to Marco Botta, a foreign affairs Swiss diplomat who accumulated records (and newspapers) from all his trips around the World. 🌎 After his death, his family donated the vast Collection to the MEG. It contains folklore & modern music from all over the world up to the 80s. Several big shelves of vinyl from South America, Europe, Oceania, Africa... subdivided by countries. Around 5000 records, most in pristine condition! 

With the little time at my disposal, I decided to focus on Africa, because of my link to it, extensive travels around North and East Africa, my readings about the forging of the Portuguese 1st Global Empire, circumventing Africa on their way to India, the many documentaries I saw about the continent, and my interest in its many cultures & music. 

For 4 hours, I looked through the collection, could hear the music on a record player, and made my selection. Right after, I played a 1 hour and a half set with the records in public. The set was recorded, filmed & broadcast on WAV33.

I had 2 turntables and a Pioneer mixer at my disposal. I did spontaneously a mixed set, at times overlapping tunes and using the effects, especially in the first half hour, which features mostly tribal music and otherworldly sounds before moving towards former Portuguese colonies and Islands music.   

I started with an imaginary Ancient Egypt track from a record of a Tutankhamun exhibition in Seattle from 1976, followed by an oud song from the Ottoman Period era by a well-known Egyptian Musician. Then went into Tuareg incursions, tribalistic music, Portuguese colonies (Cabo Verde, Angola...), circumvolution of Africa passing the Cape of Good Hope, all the way to the other side through the various lands (South Africa, Mozambique, Kenya, Ethiopia...) and Islands off the coast of Africa (Maurice, Comoros, Seychelles...) in the Indian Ocean as far as La Reunion and Zanzibar.

Thanks to all at MEG and everyone who was there to listen. 💙

This is the recorded result of which I am pretty proud! Enjoy!!! 😘

Réveil Archives Sonores #18: @Cobeia

For a 1h30 set, the guest artists take us on a musical journey through their personal selection of sound archives.

Cobeia is a DJ and record collector from Geneva. He is also the curator/organizer of Ecoutes au vert (EAV), a series of musical events that has been running since 2006. Over the years, he has organised many concerts and evenings of electro-acoustic, African, No Wave, Electronic, Disco and Experimental music, with talented local and international artists.

Curious to explore a wide range of styles, he unearths gems through long digging sessions. Traditional and modern African music, Outernational, Jazz, Afro-Funk, Post Punk, Disco, Cosmic, Italo, Wave, Electronic, Ambient, Experimental... are just some of the genres he loves. Music that often features a mix of instruments, synths and drum machines, with an analog sound in a computerized world. ;)

Cobeia has mixed at venues & festivals in Geneva, Switzerland, Berlin, Thailand and Vietnam.

A few years ago with Ecoutes au vert, he organized a concert by the traditional Kenyan group Ogoya Nengo & the Dodo Women's Choir Group in collaboration with the MEG.

The records played during this DJ set come from the Marco Botta collection, acquired by MEG in 2011. The collection comprises almost 5,000 LPs (33rpm), released on a multitude of labels from around the world.

Kidus aka dj Mitmitta (@Mitmitta) is one of the main record collectors based in Ethiopia. He runs the Mitmitta Muzika record label where he re-released, in collab with Domino Sound from New Orleans, a compilation of traditional wedding songs by Getatchew Degefu & friends. Another release is planned for 2016, so check it. Mitmitta is that spicy powder very muched used in Ethiopian cuisine. After having released numerous successful mixtapes, mostly under K7, Kidus wanted to release something live. He invited me in his house for an afternoon session in his house in Addis. This mix includes some of his latest discoveries including Ethiopian and Eritrean songs, mostly slow grooves, melodic and musical. If you’re not into the Ethiopian music digging scene, you might not realize it, but this mix is exactly in the actual vibe of the moment, people are digging more and more this kind of sounds right now. Here are all the records used in this mix.

716 Exclusive Mix - Mitmitta :  Blowing In The Horn Of Africa

I had met her a few weeks before and she came down to the park when I invited her. I played many of these songs for her, somehow it was the start of something strong between us.

This is the recording of the 1st hour of my opening set for one of the 2 Ecoutes au vert events I put together at Klunkerkranich (Berlin) in Spring 2017. The sky cleared out and the late afternoon sun came in through the large Wohnzimmer's windows. The vibe was super relaxed in there and this is what came out of it. :)

The evening was followed by AVA playing krautrock, blues, rock, no wave, post-punk, wave, african and much more. Then Bastus & myself took over and steered into disco, boogie, italo, re-edits getting people to dance & smile. Add a few beers and some White Russians and u know it was a fun night up there! Danke an allem. ;) Free DL!
