I don't have the adequate poetry to describe the enigma that is C-Love but I can say that she was playing South African House records about 5 years before it was a thing and listening to her play 'Was Dog A Donut' at minus 20 BPM tripping balls on a floaty at the Sunset Campout was on of my all time fave DJ experiences.  She's put an exquisite selection together for our next mix; Autumn Blossom is as beautiful as the title suggests. #EnjoyYourIdleMoment @cloveontherocks-1

Live and wild from the sands of Belden Beach, Mr. Matias in the pocket.

Nothin like a Shanti Town Party. Jammy jams with a side of peanut butter.

Camp Jams

Idle Cellars is back & our latest mix is from the Bay Area’s Dub Disco Dons 40 Thieves! Our hometown heroes are faves of Harvey and Weatherall alike, with releases for labels like Rong Music & Permanent Vacation, including their massive hit covering Hot Chocolate’s “Don’t Turn It Off”! Well-known for having a sporadic release schedule, our Thieves landed at Leng Records for the past decade or so and we can expect some new music from the boys coming soon!

For this mix they’ve pulled out all the stops for a tour-de-force of all the delectable things that makes a Thief a Thief - stripped-down Paradise Garage-brand disco and boogie jams, secret Italo groovers, chuggy slo-mo bangers and more, viewed through the hazy lens of Dub - always a smokers’ delight! We think this is the sound of the summer, so up the bass & treble, skin up and enjoy!

Idle Cellars Mix Series Presents 40 Thieves - Vibrazioni

Vibrazioni - 40 Thieves

Just heard the very sad news of Danielle Moore’s passing. An incredible singer, musician and human, she used her life energy to spread love and joy and hope thru the world and today with her passing, the world has lost a bright light. May her memory be a blessing and may the ripples that she created with her life continue to spread beyond the edges of her time here and continue spreading love, joy and hope throughout the world. In that vein, I will be donating $1000 in Danielle’s name to the MAPS organization — an organization that is dedicated to enabling the healing power of psychedelics to be experienced by more than the few of us who have found it helpful while using it in the mostly grey legal area in which it currently exists. Many years ago, Holmar and I did this remix of Crazy P using the voice of Terrence McKenna, joined with that of Danielle’s in order to help spread this message. In my experience, psychedelics have helped heal the traumas of my past and help me become a better human and understand the truth that none of us are strangers but all truly parts of one larger whole. I believe that with the spreading of this essential truth, war will become obsolete, the inequities of a world where there are enough resources for all but just so poorly distributed (where some have so much while many have too little) would end and we could all truly live in the utopia that we all deserve — in peace and harmony with all. The remix we did (in classic Thugfucker fashion of those years) was finished too late to be included on the release but it was something near and dear to us so we finished it with love even well past the deadline. And in an incredible moment of synchronicity, soon after it was finished we were playing it at our beloved Katerholzig in Berlin and someone on the dance floor heard it and connected us with his friend, Finn McKenna, son of Terence McKenna and we discussed his father’s work and how we might possibly put this out in other ways. Finn is a lovely human as well as a talented illustrator and he did this incredible illustration of his dad in the style of classic LSD blotter paper. We discussed finding a way to include the blotter paper encased in the vinyl record but the technology was not available at that time. A lovely idea though and maybe one day it will be possible… 

But today I am posting the remix we did years ago for free online, downloadable and available for all. It seemed the right time to do it.

In the interest of transparency, I don’t hold the rights for any of this stuff but it felt right to put it out for free and ask that, if you enjoy it and have the means, that you might also consider donating some money in Danielle’s name to MAPS or another charity of your choice so that this moment of sadness and loss can be transformed into a moment of hope and spread more of the love and light that Danielle’s life spread during her time her on earth.

May she rest in peace and may the world soon transform into the beautiful joy filled utopia that every single one of us deserves.

Beatbox (Thugfucker's Psychedelic Journey Remix) - Crazy P

Idle Cellars is back with another chiller killer for your Autumn revelry! This time around we’ve got another stellar mix from West Coast pioneer, Bay Area Rave legend & Cali breakbeat progenitor DJ SPUN! Responsible for breaking breaks in SF in the early 90s, punk rock bandleader in the early 80s, disco mastermind in the early 00’s - the man has been there, done that, whether via his label Rong Music, curating events at PS1 in NYC with the cream of club culture, humbly embodying some of the greatest DJ skills in the world, let alone the US (and let alone California!). 

His resume is far too long to list here, but he’s given us this fantastic mix for horizontal grooving that he’s titled “Idle Dub…Idle Chug”. Spun commented: “For fall and winter I usually switch to red wine…So this mix marked the start of the season and is a testament to the effect of a bottle of red!” Say no more squire! 

As usual, we’re in love with this journey through music, a gentle nudge from wonderful ambience through some late-night dubby funk on a slo-mo tip, keeping things musical and in outerspace!

From all of us at Idle Cellars, ENJOY!

I REMEMBER THE SUN by JAMEL LEE

Closing out the record is a gorgeous deep-house ride by Jamel Lee Markx. As keyboardist and co-songwriter in Cole's old band Ownership, Jamel made his way into the Bay Area scene as a storied musician, only to emerge as one of its best DJs and most promising producers. "I Remember the Sun" pulls you in with its playful, yet thoughtful chords and flits, and sets the stage with a spoken word call to the power of the sun, and to being present in the moment. It wouldn't be out of place on a release from Ajuna Deep, but it's so much more than that. Joy Theater is proud to release the first track by Jamel Lee.

COLE ODIN (who occasionally uses the moniker Ownership) was raised to the pulse of the twin hearts of the San Francisco Bay Area… a gritty underground DJ scene, and the blinding light of a rock and roll stage. A gigging and writing multi-instrumentalist of over 25 years, his music is inspired by arm hairs on end, uncontrollable smiles, and the concept of a song you can't take off repeat.

Since compatible comparison is justifiably needed by some to draw them into something new, the sounds of COLE ODIN's music can be traced from a variety of influences into a new hybrid of moving music. Some (sonic) examples might be… THE VERVE, COBBLESTONE JAZZ, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, KAUF, REMI WOLF, AMEN DUNES, ANDREW WEATHERALL, LCD SOUNDSYSTEM, BILL WITHERS, ROISIN MURPHY, FLAMING LIPS, EDDIE C, TAME IMPALA, RUB 'N TUG, M83, FLYING MOJOTO BROTHERS, SPIRITUALIZED, TOOL, PSYCHEMAGIK, SINEAD O'CONNOR, ANIMAL COLLECTIVE, SPOON, PRINCE, JANE'S ADDICTION, NITZER EBB, TODD TERJE, LORDE, ALL THEM WITCHES, CA7RIEL Y PACO AMOROSO, DJ HARVEY, FATHER JOHN MISTY & MANY, MANY MORE... As a DJ of over 20 years, his versatile style of moving through genre, tempo and mood is also reflected by looking at the selectors that influenced his desire to create the set as one long song- Thomas Bullock aka Tom From England (and all of SF's Wicked Crew), Solar, Eddie C, Idjut Boys, DJ Three, Colleen "Cosmo" Murphy, Balearic Mike, DJ Spun, Marshall Jefferson, Sean Johnston, Young Marco, Charlotte the Baroness, DJ Harvey, Karizma, and the too-long-to-list roster of local badassery the Bay Area is known for around the world.

Some recent notable accomplishments would be releases on such great labels as Leng, Eclectics, Golf Channel, NuNorthern Soul, and Das Sind Wir Recordings, and playing festivals and clubs with his heroes and peers. Cole is proud to have had his music included in sets by such legends as DJ Harvey, Eddie C, DJ Garth, Doc Martin, Psychemagik, Thugfucker, Sean Johnston and more, with his tracks having made Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space's best of 2019 show, and in end-of-year "best of" lists by Balearic Mike, Bill Brewster, and Sean Johnston.
