For the 13th mix in this series, Sassy J finds inspiration in the “Fruit of Life,” a system of information found in Sacred Geometry. It consists of a structure of 13 circles that is said to contain the blueprint of the universe. Its 13th circle is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the network and, more widely, the universe. It acts as a gateway to higher dimensions and a catalyst for healing. 

The music in this mix exudes spirituality. As a constructed piece, it’s a tapestry that weaves together broadcasts, interludes, songs, and poems. Echoes of horns mingle with a distant message of the cosmos as Sassy J invites us into a world from which we do not want to leave. Indeed, it doubles up as a map that marks Sassy J’s place in a universe that is held together by her singular thread.

The overriding mantra of "You gotta have freedom, you gotta have peace and love” marks the end of the musical journey and corresponds to the principle contained in the 13th sphere. It rings with poetic meaning and speaks to the values she espouses so uncompromisingly. What I have always admired most about Sassy J is her unwavering commitment to a musical vision. The music she invokes belongs to a Space Age of astral jazz explorations and sonic paths that lead to a higher state of consciousness. It is music that is born out of pain but which offers redemption; both serious and supremely uplifting.

In the act of curation, Sassy J is proposing an alternative history, one where style isn't as important as leveraging meditative states and the spirit behind the sounds. Because Sassy J refuses to stay in one place and treats music as a set of recurring melodic shapes, the very texture of this mix is defined by transition, process, and flow. It seems to say that art is the only thing that exists beyond death. As a beam of sunshine floods through my window the music glistens out to the street beyond. Caught in a dance with the rays of sunlight, it reminds me of how music is a journey and a destination all of its own.

@camhildebrandt, as always, with the softest touch blowing early spring winds westwards for the automatic writing show on @n10-as.

“Some for The Makossa Man,” a celebration and glance at the world of afrobeat giant, Manu Dibango: a trailblazer whose music laid the groundwork for what would become disco and hip-hop. He passed away today from COVID-19. Rest in peace, Makossa Man.

Here are just a few records, from his otherwise enormous catalog of music. These have hardly left my bag over the last decade. Enjoy.

Ladies and gents, dancers and DJs, artistes and amigos... it's with great pleasure that we formally launch episode #1 of our the Desert Island Disco 'Islander Cast' podcast series. The 'Islander Cast' series seemed the most natural way for us to extend our passion for discovering and sharing amazing music from talented DJs, musicians and producers who share our love of era-spanning, genre-hopping boogie music. 

The first mix in the series is brought to you by exciting French DJ, Souldade, who we believe perfectly captures the essence of our sound.

Souldade navigates across eras & genres to unearth overlooked tunes. His mixes and edits take you to forgotten dream places, from sunbathed exotic poolsides to moist outmoded clubs. Travelling back and forth between Europe, Africa, Brazil, American cities and other Caribbean islands, the motto remains unchanged: move you and make you move.

Following an intense, careless summer, this mix was for Souldade the perfect medium to enter the gloomier season that was ahead of every single one of us. Slowly switching from warm, bitter-sweet lovers rock songs to colder italo sounds, Souldade builds this typical outdated atmosphere he loves so much, and paves the way to more club-oriented tracks including an unreleased edit in the finale!
