The FADER #88 Podcast

Whitest Boy Alive - Intentions (DJ NOODLE & Joris Vos edit)

"This is music mostly inspired by recent 6pm freezing walks, with no sun, running errands and mini adventures in NY. I created the mix with tracks I've been listening to lately in Brooklyn. The reason for the calm of the mix is because 80% of the music/sounds I hear are so aggressive that this acts to balance life out and has been the score to most of my downtime recently."

He's been kept behind the scenes, making beats on the low for the likes of Joey Bada$$ and the Pro Era camp but recent Ninja Tune signing Lee Bannon is making his own waves and riding them high. Serving up a mix of old school funk, downtempo house and general kick back sounds, Lee aims to remind us that "life is like a box of chocolates". Stroll by and strut to Lee Bannon's Music To Walk To.

Lee Bannon - Alternate/Endings out Jan 13th 2014.

Tracklist

The Revenge Mix on Gilles Peterson Worldwide (GPWW949)

Dream Machine - Mark Farina(feat. Sean Hayes) [Downtempo Mix]

This is a French (my mother tongue) EPx17 song for those who’d rather be awake than reassured—the ones who’d rather KNOW & GROW than BLOW & SHOW blindly, even if “Some Truths Are Harder to Swallow” 🍌💦  i.e. my BJ (banana joke:) sister-song of “L’Embobinage”… 

The lyrics are rooted in one of Carl Sagan’s most haunting and relevant psychological insights: 

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: 
If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge (even to ourselves) that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

“Une des leçons les plus tristes de l'histoire est celle-ci: si nous avons été embobinés assez longtemps, nous avons tendance à rejeter toute preuve de l'embobinage. Nous ne sommes plus intéressés à découvrir la vérité. L'embobinage nous a capturés. Il est tout simplement trop douloureux de reconnaître, même pour nous-mêmes, que nous avons été dupés. Une fois que vous donnez du pouvoir à un charlatan sur vous, vous ne le récupérez presque jamais.”

It’s a story rooted in the GROWsutra spirit: a philosophy of fierce compassion, where curiosity is stronger than comfort, where questioning is a form of kindness, and where truth, though sometimes bitter, is ultimately the beginning of healing.

Lyrics: 

[Verse 1]
Une des leçons les plus tristes de l’histoire,
Est celle-ci, Carl Sagan nous a dit,
Embobinés depuis longtemps, c’est illusoire,
Chercher la vérité, c’est si troublant,

[Chorus]
L’embobinage nous a pris,
Trop douloureux, la vérité,
Nous avons été trahis,
Le charlatan a pris pied,

[Verse 2]
Difficile de reconnaître,
Que nous avons été dupés,
Le pouvoir au charlatan,
Jamais récupéré,

[Chorus]
L’embobinage nous a pris,
Trop douloureux, la vérité,
Nous avons été trahis,
Le charlatan a pris pied,

[Outro]
La vérité, toujours elusive,
Nous sommes capturés, l’embobinage nous tient,
Le charlatan règne, et nous restons perdus.

After the succes of “Just To Make Me”, Vhyce is back on Smile.
“Into The Sun” takes this 3-track EP to a whole nother level.
With its slow and extatic build-up, it takes off to an open plain of altered
consciousness in a galaxy far away where the concept of time does not apply.
Those who manage to listen only once will win a free washer-dryer combo.

“Against The Window” heralds the message loud and clear: summer’s here.
It’s sweet honeyglazed soul accompanied by necksnapping percussion
to raise the sunroof. Just like a whipped cream topped chocolate meringue,
it’ll sink straight into all the young womens’ hips.

To top things off nicely, there’s closing track “Lazylight” that cement the divine message and makes smiles appear in agreement: summer is here, and Vhyce is curating it with sounds to suit any and all purposes.

Late at Night

Simon Says - Late At Night (Original Mix)

Vinyl - https://lengrecords.bandcamp.com/album/last-night-in-sant-celoni-incl-in-flagranti-remix

With summer finally making its presence felt, Payfone makes its Leng Records debut with a simmering, sunset-ready sizzler that oozes drowsy heat from start to finish. It’s a slow-burn dancefloor beauty all right, but we expect nothing less from Anglo Italian Phil Passera and his growing band of musical collaborators.

Since making their debut with the brilliant “International Smark” back in 2013, Payfone has delivered a swathe of superb singles which cannily combine elements of boogie, disco, NYC proto-house, acid house and Balearica in uniquely alluring ways. Passera has a reputation for using no samples in his creations, instead favouring live instrumentation, classic electronic hardware and ear-catching vocals.
 
Since we last heard from Payfone, Passera has moved his studio from his East London warehouse to a wooden shack in Sant Celoni, a sleepy Catalonian town near Barcelona nestled in the foothills of the Montseny and Montnegre mountain ranges. The inspiration of his new surroundings is clear on this warm, groovy and undeniably picturesque composition.

“Last Night In San Celoni” is a  love letter from two girls meeting and falling in love amidst the tumbling streets and dramatic views of this little-known town just a few miles up the Mediterranean coast from Barcelona.

Featuring the innocent, under stated singing of Los Angeles’ based Jaz James and the seductive Spanish speech of Beunos Aries-based Lumdilla Rodriguez, the duo narrates a romantic, bilingual love story that will melt your heart. Incidentally, it could well be the first (partly) English-language song dedicated to Sant Celoni, but don’t quote us on that.
 
Musically, Payfone is in fine form on “Last Night in San Celoni” where Phil Passera offers up a warm and humid chunk of soft-touch dancefloor bliss underpinned by a combination of vintage analogue drum machine, 1980s style slap bass, rich electric piano motifs, and casually brilliant jazz guitar flourishes provided by regular Payfone guitarist Royce Wood Junior.
 
This result of years of collaborative work  (this song began as a keyboard riff written in a New York studio in the heatwave of 2014), the track’s sumptuous groove seems to gently tug at the senses like the lapping waves on a Baleric Mediterranean beach at Sunset.

The original mix comes accompanied by a more up-beat interpretation by Swiss stalwarts In Flagranti. Opting to fatten the groove whilst dubbing out many of the assembled musical elements, the experienced duo brilliantly wraps lo-fi synthesizer lead lines and 1980s package holiday pop flourishes around a chugging, low-slung groove that will have even the laziest dancers skipping towards the dancefloor.
