Honcho Podcast Series 126: Paul Wolsch

@gio_goltara (Giovani Goltara, he-him) has discovered that electronic dance music is where he feels most comfortable expressing himself. Ever since his early rave days, he's been drawn to electronic beats infused with Latin American rhythms. 

Digging through records from the 1990s, GIO uncovered a treasure of productions that appropriated diverse sonorities from the global south. 
Now, he's on a mission to bring these sounds back and re-appropriate them for queer dance events, particularly in Berlin, where he's been organizing parties since 2021. 

One of his standout events is Coven, which focuses on celebrating queer Latin American culture through music and dance.

GUEST SERIES : GIO

Alias: Gio
Pronouns: He / Him
Location: Berlin
Collective: Coven
Labels: Tandera Records, U're Guay, Vigor
Name of the mix: 4&20 House
About the mix: ¡En Berlín, es hora de LEGALIZAR! ¡Ojalá pudiéramos conmemorar algo, pero aquí seguimos luchando contra el apoyo al genocidio!
El House juega un papel fundamental en mi vida, al igual que en la de muchas personas queer y migrantes. Junto con los afrodescendientes, los latinos han  fusionado raíces para crear el estilo musical que nos hace bailar hacen décadas. Mis primeras raves, yá a los 26 años, me hicieron sentir parte de una escena artística única. Como estudiante y profesor de historia del arte, me di cuenta de que era parte de una expresión artística que aún no se enseñaba en la universidad. Desde entonces, el House y el baile han sido mi mayor fascinación artística.
Para este mix, seleccioné vinilos y tracks recientes producidos por personas que comparten experiencias de vida similares a las mías. Seguro que muchos los compré mientras estaba bien colocado de marihuana. ¡Parece que yo y la hierba tenemos un bello gusto musical en común! Entonces ahí están 39 tracks que me hacen tripear :)

JAMES LOTION

Directamente desde la pista de baile, disfruta de esta mezcla de GIO (@gio_goltara) y Feasting (@dr_feasting) recorded live en Coven, Berlin.

Ambos nacidos en Sudamérica, Giovani Goltara (Brazil) y Miguel Jara (Chile) comienzan su trabajo en conjunto en el underground de Berlín en el año 2020, participando activamente en el restablecimiento de la actividad cultural de la música electrónica hacia el final de los confinamientos. Su colectivo Coven (@coven666) es reflejo de la necesidad de la apertura de espacios en la escena europea desde una perspectiva interseccional: su identidad queer y migrante moviliza la política de su trabajo desde la anti-colonialidad, la género-disidencia y la apertura de las barreras de clase en la música electrónica.

Tanto su trabajo como selectores y como productores bajo el pseudónimo The Midnight Service (@the-midnight-service) refleja un entendimiento de la influencia latinoamericana y queer en la historia de la música house y evidencia su experiencia y sensibilidad en crear atmósferas elegantes influenciadas por la cultura de club de Berlín de los últimos años.

El presente mix es un recorte grabado en la última edición de Coven en Berlín, incluyendo los sonidos que sin lugar a dudas refleja su actual identidad musical: irreverente, queer y latinoamericana, pero sin dejar de lado la elegancia y el hipnotismo de las pistas de baile de la capital Alemana.

Brutal Bill - Get Up Everybody (Progressive Disco Mix) (1996)

Resolutions

It is no stretch to say that Sao Paulo's Trepanado is at the heart of the Brazilian music scene. His Selvagem party is one of the most influential in terms of the sounds it pushes, and his label Selva Discos is also hugely respited for the sounds it curates. Trepanado himself has also put out a vital compilation for Hello Sailor Recordings that spotlighted Brazil's Street Soul sound of the late eighties and early nineties. As a DJ he joins the dots between those classic niches and the contemporary electronic landscape thanks to his tireless devotion to digging for wax. 

This multi-genre maestro distills also his considerable know how into a lively carnival mix that oozes  Brazilian charm in the bird calls, whistles and Spanish vocals, but also seems to reference UK rave culture, traditional Latin rhythms and throwback house music. It's a full flavour, fully bumping mix that makes that feeling of being in the middle of an outdoor dance floor on a hot summer's day feel tantalisingly close.
