While dropping their self-titled debut LP with us in August, Anya and Izaak from Loveshadow (@loveshadowdjs) were kind enough to also record a lovely mix and answer a few questions. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Izaak and Anya, nice to have you on board. Both living in Bay Area, how would you describe your daily surroundings? Is it a nice place to be as an artist?

LS: Right now we live in SF. We grew up one town away from each other near the airport, though we didn’t meet until much later. The landscape is inspiring for sure- we spend as much time as we can out in the parks and wild areas and draw a lot from that. The art and music scenes here run deep, though the cost of living and of course covid have made things tougher.
 
MFM: The songs on your debut album as Loveshadow -which will be out in August- sound incredibly fresh where they also remind to certain pop, boogie, funk and even house from the mid and late '80s. What were some of your main influences for this project? 

LS: Thanks! We have to mention the UK act Fashion after whose song we named the group, but our tastes range all over. You could say that Loveshadow is kind of a lap around the 80’s prehistory of today’s dance music, when things were still firmly rooted in pop songwriting but had a simultaneously psychedelic and funky sensibility- one that grew out of dub/disco/punk counterculture. Getting more serious about learning the records at the roots of the whole thing allowed us to see how we might contribute something new to it in a way that was more than a style exercise.

MFM: Of course also the use of specific instruments ad up to that flavor - it seems that for example the Linndrum plays an important role. Did you aim for that sound and gathered the instruments around it, or the other way around maybe?

LS: We had an overall idea in mind that definitely informed the instrumentation but we’re not purists. A lot of the sounds on the record are replications of or deviations from the iconic originals. Those famous drum sounds in particular are like symbols, they impart a particular meaning and we use them to set a mood.

MFM: What's the dynamic between the two of you like in the studio? Is there a certain steady structure or does this change all the time? Maybe you could tell a little about your writing and recording process?

LS: It changes all the time- we’ve lived and worked in so many places separately and together since we started recording. Either one of us might come up with an idea that we’ll design sounds around, demo, arrange, and then throw it all in the trash and start again. Most of the songs on the record have had a few lives.

MFM: It feels that the music from the LP could work really well live on a stage too. Are there any plans for you to go touring? 

LS: We’re going to play a gig in Detroit later this summer that will be sort of a test run! After that, we’ll see. The project started out as an interest in records and recording, but anything’s possible.

MFM: Thanks a lot for contributing! It seems you quite regularly record a mix. Have you both always been busy collecting and sharing records? 

LS: Our pleasure, thanks so much for asking us! We’re always looking for new music. Sharing mixes online has helped us organize our favorites but playing parties is the best. We were gigging around before covid and we’ll hopefully get back to it as things continue to open up. This mix is definitely on the hype side of things- new digs, old favorites, some edits, tunes pals graciously sent our way, and what we’ve been dancing around our apartment to while we were stuck inside.

MFM Mix 030: Loveshadow

From Amsterdam, via Saltillo, Berlin and London, here comes the 31st mix carefully selected for you by Worldwide FM resident Coco María (@cocomariamusic). Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com 

MFM: Hi Ana, welcome aboard the series. How's your been summer so far?

CM: Hi. Thank you! Today, I came back from We Out Here, very inspired and happy. So, right now I would say this summer I have been very lucky. I was able to travel, to play in many nice parties, and festivals with lovely crowds (big and small), met many of my friends, and made new friends.

MFM: You're originally from Saltillo, Mexico. Can you tell us a bit about growing up there?

CM: It is a city in the north of Mexico. Desert and mountains. Quite a big city. My parents are very musical people and I grew up surrounded by music and family and friends. My mom and dad always made efforts to inspire us, triggered our curiosity and they love road trips so we traveled a lot in Mexico when I was a kid.

MFM: I've read you left your studies in Mexico and moved to Europe. What was the reason for this change?

CM: I finished my university studies (Education Science and Psychology) and literally, the day after I got my diploma ( 22nd of June) I left and have been living in Europe since then. I always wanted to travel and get to know other places. When I was 18, I went to Berlin with my friend Olga, and I fell in love with the city immediately. I was very determined to go and live there. I felt it was the city and energy I needed at that time: it worked out, with a 4 years diversion through London.

MFM: Mexico knows a different culture and traditions when compared to Europe. What would you say are the main differences?

CM: At the beginning the differences were very strong to me: food, weather, people, shops, now 11 years later, the biggest difference are the daily life worries. For example, In Amsterdam, I rarely feel unsafe in the street. There are more opportunities to develop, grow and do what you love, without worrying about your personal safety or so much corruption. In Mexico, the weather and nature are amazing. The food and the warmth of the people is something I miss quite often.

MFM: This year saw your compilation 'Club Coco' being released in collaboration with Swiss label Les Disques Bongo Joe and which features all new music. How did you get to this particular selection of artists and songs?

CM: The first song I wanted to include was “A big Brain” by my friend Nic Mauskovic because I felt this had to be out there. That was what initiated the project and I curated it thinking of a line up... Imagine having all these bands together! Most of the bands are my friends or I have worked with them, it went naturally and felt very familiar.

MFM: It also includes a track of yourself, which is a highly rhythmic percussive work out with lots of brass and your vocals dubbed on top. Can you show a bit of insight in the writing and recording process of the song? Did you work with live musicians for example?

CM: The initiative was from my friend Max Weissenfeldt. He is a brilliant musician, composer and runs the label Philophon. We want to make a Jazz album. This is our first song and we recorded it in Berlin. Then he moved to Ghana, I moved to Amsterdam. And the pandemic hit. I have not seen him since january 2020! Max recorded the music with a live band in Ghana and their names are Pitches, Osei and Kung Fu´u. 

MFM: Do you have more ambition in producing your own works? Perhaps there's something in the pipeline already? 
Would love to finish that jazz album with Max, while he is in Ghana: we will work on the distance. 

MFM: Google Translate says the title 'Me Veo Volar' means 'I See Myself Fly'. Is there a nice story behind the title maybe? :)

CM: “Me veo volar” is about getting rid of fears that weigh you down… and making space for what you really want and take off! At that time I was having some realizations :)

MFM Mix 031: Coco María

For the 136th guestmix in our AstroFM series, Cologne-based selector Earl Orlog comes through with - what he calls - a fever dream of a dancefloor. Beguiling flutes, buzzing sitar drones and undefinable psychedelic noises fill the imaginary room with danceable contradictions. Sounds like a party we would absolutely vibe to.

"Square Pegs & Round Holes" is a musical journey just under 2 hours in duration. It's stops are at private pressed French outsider folk, obscure trance with Dick Dale guitar licks, echo-drenched Lofotian postpunk, some Thai comedian going full throttle digi-Belafonte, Italian goth-dub, Ecuadorian Dance Music (EDM) played by a strikingly good-humored Bolivian folklore ensemble, beautifully touching Nigerian expat-Soukous, a song about a man who paid his dues in form of an instrumental reggae cover version and many more tunes from all around the planet...

Utopia Records uncovers the work of Alex Kassian the Kyoto born Berlin based producer and DJ whose work as Opal Sunn and Al Kassian has been turning heads and shifting feet in recent times. Over the last decade Kassian hosted word of mouth dances in London and Berlin where he gained a reputation as one of Europe’s most promising artists. Kassian’s recent output has been primarily composing scores for contemporary dance and theater in Berlin, an approach he brings here to this 6 track EP “Hidden Tropics”.

Kassian inspired by other Utopia Records artists such as Lars Bartkuhn and Vangelis Katsoulis delves deeper into his compositional scope for a sound that joins the dots between ambient, world music to spiritual house in parts inspired by his homeland of Japan as heard on ‘Bells of Ukyo’ and the 80’s Sakamoto-esque ‘Olson Waters’. The title track is a breakthrough in contemporary house music, sure to be picked up on by the tastemakers from New York to Johannesburg to Berlin to Amsterdam to Tokyo and beyond.
