One of house music's true originals, Maurice Fulton, graces the RA Podcast with a mix that connects the dots between soul and experimental electronics.

YokoO - WooMooN - August 17th

Somewhere, way up there in a galaxy far, far away, there was a boy floating around in space.
This boy’s head was filled with sounds so trippy, so unique and so melancholic - that when an idea came, it was unlike anything you’d ever heard before. The boy’s ears were filled with endless amounts of recycled stardust - so that whenever he put on his headphones to make music, everything he created sounded like heaven. And the boy’s mind was constantly buzzing with impulses - so that whenever he expressed himself, they came pouring out of him in the form of sublime music. To us, he is known as Ninze.
Ninze is multi-faceted, yet utterly recognisable in his style. Having first taken the music scene by storm with unique productions and famously slo-ow DJ sets alongside his 2nd half Okaxy, he has since evolved as a solo artist as well as a member of the production- and live performance trio Wide Awake. 
No matter what he does, you can always hear it: that distinct sound that makes your knees feel like jelly and your thoughts like cloudy shadows. It’s a vibe that transports you to a place in your mind, something in between diving into trippy underwater melancholia and shooting up into deep cosmic space.
It’s only fitting then that our next podcast is a live set recorded specially for the Urban Cosmic Universe. If you listen closely, you’ll notice the little shooting stars, pulling you deeper and deeper into a world you can lose yourself in with ease. 
So finally, to quote the man himself: “roll it up, light it up, press play”*

---------------------------

For the Maya the creation of the Earth, it is said to have been a deed of Huracán, the wind and sky god. The sky and earth connected, which left no space for any beings or vegetation to grow. In order to make space, a Ceiba tree was planted. The tree grew roots in all the levels of the underworld and its branches grew into the upper world. 

The tree trunk grew to leave space on earth for animals, plants, and humans. According to Maya belief, animals and plants were extant before humans. The gods were not satisfied with only the animals because they could not speak to honor them. From there, humans were made in order to honor the gods.

ecos del mundo 018 | Lente

Jaeger Mix #056
July 30th, 2017

A name that hardly needs an introduction in Oslo, Lente’s profile precedes him wherever he goes for sets that tap into the primal, something visceral, while at the same time planting your feet on the dance floor. A spiritual being who seems to want project all of his feelings through music, his mixes have been known to combine four-four arrangements with a “world” music sound pallette and in his edition of the Æmix he brings this to the fore again, this time in the recorded format. 
From Indian Raga’s to west African drumming troupes, Lente travels the more exotic regions of the world, re-appropriating old musical languages in a new electronic music dialogue. The tempos are reserved, with plaintive melodies echoing around contrapuntal percussion in joyous reverie. Viscerally abundant and happily offbeat, Lente’s edition to the Jæger mix is charms on this Wednesday. 
Æ. Give us an introduction
L. My name is Linus but people have been calling me Lente since childhood. Born and bread in Sweden I been living in this very nice capital of Norway for long time. I love good people, music and swimming.
 
Æ. What is your earliest memory of a piece of music?
 L. Probably when my “band” and I first time managed to play and sing Bruce Sprinsteen’s “Hungry Heart”
 
 Æ. What sound or genre do you feel represents what you try to do through your selections?
L. Every corner of this world.
 
Æ. What do you consider your role as DJ should be?
L. Just be there.
 
Æ. Which track in your Æmix best represents the theme of your mix and why?
L. Crussen – Monk Song
 
Æ. What do you hope your Æmix relays to the listener?
L. Challenge the fate
 
Æ. What’s next for you after this mix?
L. Paaardyy!!

Greetings!

Here's the latest episode of Pacific Spirit. Our close friend Khotin (and former shop employee) came through the No Fun Radio studios last Friday and played some exciting sounds from the former USSR. D.DEE played a selection of ambient, gospel, and other interesting audio during the first hour.

NOTE: There was an issue with the needle around the 19 minute mark. It gets resolved halfway through the track. So PLEASE bare with us.

If you liked this please don't hesitate to tune in every Friday on No Fun Radio from 4-6pm PST: http://nofunradio.com/

RA.632 Raphaël Top-Secret

Magic Teapot Records is an exclusive online record store in Barcelona, but also a recently launched record label (run by Daniel Baughman— A&R at Hivern Discs, booker at audiophile venue Nica —, Marco Gegenheimer - who releases on Studio Barnhus as MLiR - and Jens Ingelstedt). The DJ duo though is made up of Baughman and Gegenheimer, and when they come together they unleash hidden vinyl gems that get you dancing and romancing. Their sound is one that has a lot to say and draws on steamy tropical delights and intoxicating world music that could be thirty years old or brand new. 

Their mix for us is a 90 minute live recording of them doing what they do best at Nica, namely taking us around the globe on a real adventure that has a sense of musical wanderlust running right through it. There are intimate moments of acoustic heaven bleeding into soft, drunken synths and glorious passages of churning reggae and twinkling disco along the way. It’s music with meaning threaded together by a air of expert curators.

Dekmantel Podcast

Dekmantel Podcast 187 - Magic Teapot

Like Jamie Tiller (who shared the Boiler Room with yours truly here, only a few days ago) once said: "Many roads lead back to Raphaël when it comes to great discoveries”. Raphaël Top-Secret has a simpler task today; to dig the bins in just one store - the Rush Hour store. Just one day before his set at Dekmantel, he warmed us up for the dance, playing records that the RH staff are, or should be familiar with.

Not afraid to push the boundaries of club music, as a DJ Raphaël can be heard moving effortlessly between everything, from Boogie, Downtempo, Rap, Reggae, Afro-Caribbean synth bangers, Ambient or Industrial dance to the deepest late 80’s and early 90’s House.

This is the twenty fifth in a series of Rush Hour Store mixes, where we invite our favorite artists and DJs to dig the bins and record us a mix on the spot. Click on the links below for more info on the featured tracks.

"TOMORROW IS FOREVER" - May 7th 2020

The Italian-German composer, DJ and founder of the record label 99CHANTS. He has been releasing music since 2010, but it took self- evaluation and a re-examination of his priorities for August to lean towards the future and follow his most experimental inclinations.
In 2023, his output is harder than ever to define, stretching across genres and disciplines to chafe the heart of the human experience.
