What up IC cru! Been a minute - how you been? We took a little break to let that last mix marinate but we’re back with another for your discerning pleasure. This time around we’re excited to showcase a real UK OG who has been active in various guises over the years, flying the Balearic flag as a DJ, producer and connoisseur of fine choons in The Main Stem circa 2010 and lately with Midlands trio Wrekin Havoc, whose edits and original productions - both of which blur the lines of what is what - have been on rotation in my bag since they first stepped on the scene a few years ago. It’s Rob.J! Robert to his mum, when not up into the wee hours pushing rare track rips to his friends via online chat like some kind of strange drug dealer with incredible taste, has been hard at work with his WH mates Stu & Rich, working on new music seemingly nonstop and blowing minds at last year’s Rotation festival in the English countryside. 

Rob is truly taking us on a Balearic journey with heaps of impossibly rare tunes that sound like they were beamed from the White Island telepathically, mixed by the seat of his pants over a whopping 150 minute mix! Obscure 80s pop gems meeting late-decade dance music head-on, 90s breakbeats, Italo cheese, Spanish vocals dancing with guitar licks - one could be forgiven to think this was recorded poolside at Ku in ‘88!

Big thanks to Rob for contributing such an epic mix, we hope you love it like we do. May it soundtrack your Spring & Summer!

Guided by curiosity and a love for musical discovery, Balearic Banana open up their bags of high grade for this edition. Known for their fine taste and genre-blurring sets, Berlin based duo weave worldly treats around a strong Brazilian thread for this mix. The blend reflects their open-eared approach, where anything goes as long as it fits the feeling. Perfectly suited for a warm summer night, this one invites you to kick back and float off into the haze.

And now, a little bit of JAZ

John Zahl, also known as JAZ, is a DJ and record collector based in New York, USA, well-known for his eccentric edits and oddball mixes. We managed to connect with John after he'd arrived back in NYC after a few months spent travelling.

His mix, which was actually recorded nine years ago for Sanpo Disco on NTS Radio, features many of his all-time favourite records. He tells us these are songs that he still loves, and which remain in constant rotation. We'd like to mention a few of the tracks, starting with the lovely slo-mo/Italo disco record 'Non Ricordo, Ma Piangendo', B-side of a rare 7" by Giancarlo Aspromonte. Pit Troja's 'Der Voodoo Mann' from 1985 can only be described as German hip-hop over a Moroder-esque bass-line, wonderfully eccentric, as advertised! The late great Björn Holm's 'Tid At Stå Stilla' from his 1984 LP Bortom Gränsernas Hav, takes us into Swedish synth-pop territory. The mix features a few of JAZ's own edits, including 'Cloud Worship' which has to be one of our favourite edits of all time, just superb. This is an exceptionally well put-together mix, and despite the wide range of material, it flows perfectly and naturally, as a good eclectic mix should do.

Check out his brand new 12" edit release on the Death On Wax label:

Another vinyl EP featuring some more top-shelf edits is forthcoming on the Pinchy & Friends label, and a compilation album entitled Forbidden Fruit is also in the works with Portuguese label Secrets Of Sound, so be sure to check that out too when it's released.

Big thanks to JAZ for his kind permission to include this awesome mix in The Sunrise Mixtapes

A Little Bit Of JAZ

Last Sunday, Eternal Love joined me for a special Free Association on Soho Radio.  Straight off the back of a big party weekend for us all, we kept the club-energy going with a b3b all the way through the show.  

Kicking it off with the new release from @ines on @workethic - there are other recent faves in the mix from @balearicensemble @tombolas @makeadance @mirella_records @maurizioedandolo @dwaynegonzalez @mrbongo as well as an exclusive forthcoming remix from the E.L. boys for @dardisku 

Dig in, this one’s a real treat.

Amore Eterno #001 w/ Patrick Gibin

Par amour de la diffusion sonore est née la création d’une web radio qui rénove les bienfaits de l’écoute. À travers la radio Dia plus besoin de nuancer la stupéfaction car elle est pure.
Basée dans la baie de Donibane Lohizune, DIA s’engage à retranscrire la diversité de son territoire hors de ses frontières, en mettant en avant ses protagonistes dans un vacarme agité et harmonieux.
Du podcast studio aux balades sonores en passant par des émissions hors murs, D.I.A se veut une zone de parole et d’expression pour les gens qui la côtoient.
