MIXED BY Mark Farina & Nutritious

@closecounters

Since the day in 2022 where we partied alongside Allan McConnel and Finn Rees of Close Counters on a balmy summer's day in Naarm/Melbourne's St Kilda, we added them to our mixtape bucket list for a contribution in due time.

If you're not acquainted with their sound already, Close Counters make music for vibrant club dance floors with an expansive catalogue of tunes covering everything from soul, house, broken beat and boogie/disco.

With two albums and numerous original releases that have been featured on BBC Radio, triple j, and iHeart Radio, Al and Finn have gained a cult following of disco descendants. Their ’23 album ‘SOULACOASTA II’ was the Best Electronic Work at Music Victoria Awards last year.

They’ve also achieved the notable honour of an inclusion in the FIFA 23 soundtrack (the final official FIFA™ game) which is the pinnacle and peak of good music recognition, at least for us.

Enjoy their hour long mixtape and see the full tracklist below.

Thanks for being Cools.

Poolside Etiquette | Live Mixtape 31 ft. Close Counters

The summer is over but musically it is still in my heart. The end is musical. You usually start well with Kruder & Dorfmeister and when Paul McCartney finishes the mix, it feels good. ‘Don't say goodnight, tonight!’ Let's never let it end. Included are Sade, the Jackson 5, A Forrest Mighty Black, Dobie, Mo Horizons, Everything but the Girl, Tina Turner, Maze, Barry Manilow ( yessss ) , Blaze and many more. Thanks to all remixers like CMan, Pete Herbert, JBoogie, P-Sol, Late Night Tuff Guy and extra thanks to Shall I Bruk! Thanks to Daniel Best ( Best Works Booking ) and Jazzanova. If you like it, please leave a like, repost or comment.

🟠 [EN] The name Carnaval Sessions comes from a personal journey inspired by Haruki Murakami’s visit to Copenhagen, where he read the story Carnaval from First Person Singular. This sparked a deeper connection, leading me to explore Schumann’s Carnaval, performed by Rubinstein, as mentioned in the story. Just like how Murakami’s tale weaves together music and introspection, this show delves into the mysteries that music uncovers. Through sound, we transcend the everyday and enter a world where our dreams, thoughts, and fantasies come to life.

🟠 [JA]「Carnaval Sessions（カルナヴァル・セッションズ）」という名前は、村上春樹がコペンハーゲンを訪れた際に読んだ短編小説『一人称単数』に収められている「カーニバル」という物語に触発された、個人的な旅から生まれました。この出会いがきっかけで、物語の中で言及されているルービンシュタインによるシューマンの『カーニバル』を探求することになりました。

村上春樹の物語が音楽と内省を織り交ぜるように、この番組も音楽が明かす神秘に迫ります。音を通して、私たちは日常を超え、夢や思考、そして幻想が生き生きと立ち上がる世界へと導かれるのです。

🟠 [DA] Navnet Carnaval Sessions udspringer af en personlig rejse, inspireret af Haruki Murakamis besøg i København, hvor han læste novellen Carnaval fra Første person ental. Denne oplevelse skabte en dybere forbindelse, som førte mig til at udforske Schumanns Carnaval, fremført af Rubinstein, som nævnt i fortællingen.

Ligesom Murakamis historie væver musik og introspektion sammen, dykker dette program ned i de mysterier, musikken afslører. Gennem lyd overskrider vi det hverdagslige og træder ind i en verden, hvor vores drømme, tanker og fantasier får liv.

Playing other peoples music for other peoples enjoyment since 1993.

Darius is a self proclaimed "House Addict".  He fell in love with the house sound as a teenager living in Montreal back in the early '90s when he would stay up late on Friday nights and record a dance mix show on Montreal radio.  He was hooked from then on.  He then proceeded to start mixing with one tape deck and a CD player and never looked back.  

When he moved to Vancouver in the late '90's, he started buying records almost daily and spent most of his free time at his favourite record stores at the time, Bassix and Mekanix records.  Over the next few years, Darius held various residencies and ran 2 club nights in Vancouver, playing alongside such talent as Lawnchair Generals and Johnny Fiasco, as well as playing at numerous after hours and raves.   After getting tired of both the late nights and politics in the scene, he decided it was time to hang up the headphones in the early 2000s, but the love of house music still burned inside of him as the years passed. 

In 2013 he decided he wanted to get back into DJ'ing and purchased a basic Pioneer controller and started to collect digital tracks again.  Over the past few years Darius has been busy making a name for himself in the underground scene with numerous guest mix appearances around the world on such labels as House Salad, Reason2Funk, Uglyhouse, Little Routine, Selecta Music, Leven Underground and House Jet Radio just to name a few.  He also started the very popular "SPEED BUMPS" mix series which showcases his love for hip hop and jazz as he shows his versatility as a DJ by blending mixes of nu jazz, hip hop instrumentals and acid jazz flavours reminiscent of Mark Farina's legendary series, Mushroom Jazz. 

He also launched the hugely successful "Soul Room Sessions" podcast showcasing the soulful and jazzy side of house music and downtempo beats with guest mixes from some of the biggest names in the game and the series is still going strong!

In 2017 Darius got his first taste of out of town gigging playing live shows all over the West Coast from his hometown in Vancouver, to San Francisco and Oakland.  Stay tuned for much more from him in the near future!
