RADIO.D59B / WINE4MELOMANES #9 w/ Frederic Beneix and DJ CAM

I was watching videos of the Pharoah Sanders concert a few days after the end of the recent We Out Here festival. He was evidently frail and unwell, perhaps even uncomfortable after not setting foot on stage for three years.  

However, even through a phone screen, you couldn't help but get goosebumps once he blew into the saxophone. His charizma, aura, and sheer emotion, as always, shining through. Sadly it was to be his last. The torchbearer of Coltrane's legacy and his one true heir, passed away just a few weeks later. 
  
Born Farrell Sanders in Little Rock, Arkansas, Pharoah picked up the saxophone in his teenage years. He briefly moved to the West Coast to study art, before going to New York to take part in an exciting new jazz scene led by his idol, and later mentor, John Coltrane. Alongside Eric Dolphy, Archie Shepp, and Albert Ayler, he would become one of the most sought-after saxophonists in what was dubbed - avant-garde jazz. Pharoah Sanders joined Coltrane in 1965 and spent the next two years as his protege. After Trane's passing, he continued to take his music to new dimensions, furthering his journey into African and Eastern philosophies and eventually, becoming the face and driving force of what is now known as - spiritual jazz. 

From Alice Coltrane to Floating Points, Pharoah would collaborate with numerous musicians over the decades. However, for this tribute, I decided to focus on strictly his solo output and showcase the mastery of the albums he recorded for Impulse!, Strata East, and Theresa from the late sixties to the early eighties.

Jaeger Mix #088
April 8th, 2018

FredFades makes a long overdue appearance for the Jæger mix this week. A regular feature in our basement and our courtyard, both as a DJ and an artist, he has played live for various Mutual Intentions showcases; DJ’d a collection of rare boogie records for Boogienetter; and together with Dirty hans provided an evening of Soulful House as Touchdown. An artistic chameleon, he produces dusty Hip Hop records for people in the MI crew as well as a crafting something memorable solo records. His last album, “Warmth” has made an indelible impression on the scene for its idiosyncratic soulful sound and its expert production. He’s featured on other notable records across the MI crew and his two-part HMD mixtape from last year has been a firm favourite here for us. Always ready with bag of incredible records that blends nostalgia, groove and dance floor energy, FredFades sets are always a welcome addition to any line-up and in his edition to the Jæger mix he shows exactly why.

FredFades opts for a stylistic House set on his visit to our basement. He keeps it four to the floor with funky bass lines bringing a entrancing groove to the entire mix. Feigning function, there’s melodic jazz undertone to upper parts of the mix where they come alive over the rigid drum and bass arrangements. It adds a deepness to the mix, not in a stylistic Deep House way, but rather in an inquisitive listening way that sucks you into the mix. There’s an element of fun and excitement to it all that lives beyond its context. The tracklist as always is a mystery with FredFades keeping his prized records pretty close to his chest. We’re grateful to hear them now in this mix and while we indulge our senses, FredFades answers some questions for us about the theme of his mix, his debut LP and of course Mutual Intentions.  

Æ. Your last album has been keeping us warm this winter. What’s been some of your personal musical highlights recently?

F. Thanks! Hmmm, I’m just back from playing in Paris again where I saw a theegendary UK jazz funk / disco band: “Atmosfear” live, and it was amazing. Speaking of Highlights, us releasing Jawn Rice’s “Highlights” project in December was a Highlight itself. I’ve always been a big fan of his music, since the first time he sent me some of his SP1200 beats in 2007 while I was on vacation / a record trip in Seattle. Other things: releasing my own solo debut LP “Warmth”, releasing stuff I produced for Ivan Ave & Charlotte Dos Santos etc. Releasing & selling out Tøyen Holding and doing packed shows together, doing loads of DJ’ing around Europe was fun too, 2017 was a good year, hopefully this year will be just as fun as 2017.

Æ. You also released a couple of mixtapes on HMD last year under two themes; steppers and dancers. Is your Jæger mix a stepper or a dancer, and is there a track in your mix that can sum up the theme of your mix for us?
 
F. Definitely more like the Dancers side of that tape. I wanted to play some really mellow deep house cuts tonight. The song would have to be Orchestra 7 – “Love Is The Message”.

Incoming mix straight from the crates of @space-ghost-1 and @stevesandwich! LF19 came about when we decided to entertain the idea of a mix on a budget, something based on dollar bin selections. We loosely stuck to this plan and came up with this heavy all vinyl mix consisting of glossy 80s and 90s RnB cuts. We dipped into some New Jack Swing, added a touch of Boogie and found some serious slow jam melters for your late night love affair. Dig in and enjoy ;) 

Tracklist coming soon...
