Guest Mixes

Merchant's fourth edition of their monthly Balamii residency sees them invite Savlar, one third of the Desert Island Disco crew. Fresh off a digging trip in South Africa, Savlar dives deep into the records he picked up in Cape Town.

Will's originally from the UK but with a taste for Mediterranean climates he brings us this next mix from his home in Lisbon. 1/3 of the @desert-island-disco crew whom last year made their debut festival appearance at the grass roots Westival in Wales & pushed out a release on Mister T records.

Here he serves up a downtempo flow with a heavy ragga punch! Enjoy :)

✦ Mix 027 by Desert Island Disco ✦
Track ID - @desert-island-disco

This mix was recorded by Spence, from the DJ/producer ensemble, Desert Island Disco. It captures the types of sound they have a passion for, starting with world and boogie cuts, before processing into some deeper layers, and ending on a golden-era house workout!

Desert Island Disco are a DJ/producer collective based across London and Lisbon. They’ve recently relaunched series 2 of their revered Islander Cast series - focusing on an artist’s rare and undiscovered musical palette. Be sure to check them out at @desert-island-disco

We hope you enjoy this mix!

For our second instalment of the Islander Cast, Timéo from Rennes (FR) takes us on a vast journey along the ocean currents through a sea of blissful genres. Mellow, soulful and the perfect way to ease you into that Spring time joy. 

“For this one, I've proceeded as I usually do. I like to shop as local as I can when it comes to records ,and I enjoy the experience at private sellers' places. For this mix  you'll find some rarities but also a lotta hard dug cheaper bin records.”

Radio Sofa • Nofraje invite Bevan

Lusophonica is one of the coolest studio's we've been to! Situated right underneath the Santa Marta Lighthouse in Cascais, about 40mins train from Lisboa. From the decks you get a view through the bustling coffeeshop, out the patio doors and between the castle like wall into the beautiful Atlantic ocean. Well worth a visit if you're ever in Lisbon! 

Having just moved to the city, there's no better way to orientate than exploring the local records shops. The majority of these two hours is comprised of records picked up across town, (notably Amor Records and BomBomBom). After 4 months between cities felt good to spin some wax again!

Heels & Souls with Savlar- 08 October 2023

Open Door

All I Know Is Never

"Mina Nomhlaba"

[Chorus]
Mina nomhlaba ngicela umusa.
Umhlaba nami sicela ukukhanya.
Mina nomhlaba sicela inkululeko.
Mina nomhlaba sicela ukuthula.
Mina nomhlaba sicela ukuthula.

[Verse]
Yebo, yebo. 
Imizimba enyakazayo, 
izinyawo ezidansayo, 
i-Ultramel ne-ultra-sleek loafer
Lokho kungumbuso weZikhothane.

[Chorus]
Mina nomhlaba ngicela umusa.
Umhlaba nami sicela ukukhanya.
Mina nomhlaba sicela inkululeko.
Mina nomhlaba sicela ukuthula.
Mina nomhlaba sicela ukuthula.
Mina nomhlaba sicela ukuthula.

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

"The World and I"

[Chorus]
I and the world ask for mercy.
The world and I ask for light.
I and the world ask for freedom.
I and the world ask for peace.
I and the world ask for peace.

[Verse]
Yes, yes.
Moving bodies,
Dancing feet,
Ultramel and ultra-sleek loafers
That is the kingdom of Zikhothane.

[Chorus]
I and the world ask for mercy.
The world and I ask for light.
I and the world ask for freedom.
I and the world ask for peace.
I and the world ask for peace.
I and the world ask for peace.
