When Tomanek from Budapest visited us to record this show for Curtis Radio and to complete a 3 days mini-tour that we booked for him in some cool venues around town, we were not fast enough to give him tips about our favorite spots for record digging. Only a few hours after arrival he has located and visited them all and already unearthed and put in his bag a bunch of gems. A passionate record collector and very competent DJ he runs his Bossa Bom Dia program for more than 2 decades at Tilos Radio, the oldest running community station in Hungary. His musical palette is wide and colorful and includes jazz, funk, beats, breaks, Afro vibes, eastern European grooves, Brasilian music and a quite serious collection of library records too. How to encapsulate all this beautiful eclecticism in only 10 songs? Press play, turn up the volume and find out for yourself. Introducing DJ Tomanek ladies & gentlemen!

CURTIS RADIO - TOMANEK. SHOW #11

Leonard Cohen sang "They sentenced me to 20 years of boredom, for trying to change the system from within, I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them...First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin". To introduce this new show for Curtis Radio, exquisitely curated by our good friend, Curtis regular and outstanding record selector, we can rephrase Cohen's song and say that Mr. Ohira first takes Tokyo, then he takes Berlin. And this comes as no surprise tbh. He is half German and half Japanese and we absolutely love him and his beautiful and super rare records. So sit back, relax, press play and embark with him on a extraordinary musical journey to the land of the rising sun and back. Zero boredom here. Just exotic and uplifting grooves and a whole lotta fun too. Enjoy!

CURTIS RADIO - LUCA MAURO. SHOW #17

They say that there are 2 eras in modern music. The one that came before the invention of the Roland TR-808 drum machine and the era that came after. We believe that statement to be true. Such is the massive influence of that seminal and powerful machine in the music that we play and listen today. And if there is a particular genre intrinsically linked to the sounds and drum patterns of a Rolant TR-808 machine that is obviously Electro. From Kraftwerk, to Afrika Bambaataa to Drexciya among many others, the fantasy of a sound produced by robots that have a human soul has intrigued and seduced and influenced us in many ways. Today in our Curtis Radio "10 songs" series, we are delighted and honored to present a very special guest that belongs to that original lineage of electro originators. The Egyptian Lover is one of the most prominent and creative ambassadors of that happy crossing where electro and funk get together. He is electrofunk royalty, a cornerstone of a hybrid sound (electro + funk) that we love so much because it instantly makes us shake our asses and feel good. So press play, turn the volume up and enjoy 10 songs that really matter in The Egyptian Lover's world.

10 TUNES TRACKLIST:
Prince - Head
Sexual Harassment - I Need A Freak 
Bar Kays - Freaky Behavior
Gary Numan - Cars
Kraftwerk - Numbers
Cameo - Shake your Pants
Rick James - Give it to me Baby
Michael Jackson - Don’t Stop ‘til you Get Enough
Prince - Do me Baby
The Jacksons - That’s what you get for being polite

CURTIS RADIO - THE EGYPTIAN LOVER. SHOW #24

The Curtis Radio "10 songs only" series keep gaining momentum, the list of very special guests keeps growing strong and today we reach episode number 25 with another top musical talent and international star. We follow DJ Vadim's extended and highly prolific career since day one. It was the early 90s and Vadim aka The Dub Catcher was already on our radar as he was starting from a foundation in instrumental hip hop and releasing great music on his label Jazz Fudge and in seminal UK imprint Ninja Tune too. But a voracious appetite for musical discovery and experimentation made it impossible to pigeonhole and restrict his musical palette to just one genre or style. Both in the studio (with 17 albums released to date)and in stages and DJ booths around the world (over 3000 gigs in 78 countries) he has achieved a trademark and highly personal Vadim sound that combines hip hop, reggae, dancehall, bass culture, latin, disco, funk, world sounds, and beyond. So it's with great pleasure that today we present here 10 songs that represent and matter in the always soul-lifting and colorful musical world of DJ Vadim. Press play, turn it up, and enjoy the ride! Daddy Vad is in the house Ladies and Gentlemen.

CURTIS RADIO - DJ VADIM. SHOW #25

En nuestra constante peregrinación por las sendas del ritmo para encontrar a los mejores coleccionistas de discos y a los más ávidos selectores del panorama nacional e internacional, teníamos que dar de forma inevitable con el bueno de Javi Bayo. Figura clave de la escena underground de este país desde hace más de dos décadas, Javi es un DJ de DJs, tanto en el club como en la radio (Radio Relativa, NTS, Worldwide FM, Dublab...), y un auténtico erudito del groove global en todas sus vertientes, en especial aquellas más desconocidas y alejadas de la corriente popular. En 2012 compiló el disco "Fetén", una colección de grabaciones olvidadas de jazz hechas en España en los 60-70, y más recientemente ha publicado “América Invertida” (Vampisoul-Little Butterfly Records, 2019), una muestra de los excitantes sonidos del Uruguay de los 80, donde los arreglos de voces etéreas y guitarras acústicas cohabitaban con sintetizadores y cajas de ritmo; el candombe y la música de raíz latinoamericana se aliaban con los sonidos de new wave y dream pop. 
Aquí en Curtis Radio nos complace enormemente presentar esta exquisita selección de 10 canciones que importan en el maravilloso y exuberante universo musical de Javi Bayo. Dale play, sube el volumen y disfruta del viaje sonoro a bellos lugares de África y América Latina.

And now for our next number we'd like to return to the classics...today we proudly present a guest show by none other than Marcos Valle, a true legend of bossa nova, samba and popular brazilian music in general. Valle started playing the piano at the age of five, educated in classical and soon leaning towards jazz and soul, he began his recording career in the mid-sixties, when he was still a teenager. Since then he has built a monumental body of work with close to thirty albums published and a songbook of more than three hundred compositions, with which he has also provided material for Caetano Veloso, Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, Stacey Kent and Diana Krall among many others. Guitarist, producer, arranger, composer of soundtracks, also well versed in his approaches to rock, funk or electronics, Marcos Valle is an all-rounder who has done it all in the world of music. 
This very special episode in our Curtis Radio series marks the first anniversary of the show, and we want to express our enormous gratitude to all the artists that so generously shared their most treasured records with us, and to all the listeners and music lovers who play and enjoy the shows making this project born a year ago in our beloved listening bar in Barcelona such a beautiful reality.

Yo mama Joe Bataan is playing on Curtis radio!! Yes, yes you heard that right! THE Joe Bataan, THE legendary musician from NYC, king of Latin Soul...from the streets of El Barrio (Spanish Harlem) in his teenage years, to recording eight essential albums for seminal label Fania Records, to founding his imprint Salsoul and pioneering a new music genre (hip hop) with his smash hit Rap-O Clap-O, to his most recent release "Call My Name" on Vampisoul, Joe Bataan's stunning and everlasting career spans six long decades, and the list of achievements is simply too long to list here.
