AMPLITUDES - Dimanche Café N°016

Tracklist + Q&A: https://bit.ly/3cKpMHM

Vibrant fusions: @Jitwam's diverse influences inspire his celebratory musical tapestries

“This mix is a tribute, an ode to the forgotten loft parties that started what we now call house music. A place where the soundsystem and dancefloor were a refuge from the storm, a healing experience of unity and togetherness that made you feel connected to all living things, no matter class or creed. Long live love house music.”

Thank you for the love and support!!

A bit more then a year ago I received a message from Déni Shain, a french music producer based in Lisbon. In that mail he asked me if I would be interested in releasing music from Cabo Verde since he was close to Chico and Wilson, the 2 DJs behind Celeste Mariposa (an excellent portuguese/angolan soundsystem specialised in lusophone music). 'I can convince them to make their record collection available to you' he added. I asked him if he could send me a selection, not knowing the amount of work my request would represent. I only later found out that the three-men-team had spent a whole week to pick and choose what they thought was adequate and another few days to wash the record and digitise the music.

I received that selection in March 2013 and I haven't stopped listening to it since. I clearly remember having that wonderful feeling when songs keep growing on you the more you listen. 'Very good sign' I thought! The collection of songs I had received became the base for a whole concept and we all started criss crossing Europe and Cabo Verde looking for more music and looking for the Cap-Verdien artists we loved. Déni Shain became an important asset for the Analog Africa label, supporting us with remixes and mixes but more importantly with an addictive positive energy.

After his first mix for us, the amazing 'Ghana Soundtrack' made out of unreleased and rare tracks from the small west african musical powerhouse, here is his second instalment made of handpicked dancefloor filler. A huge shout goes to legendary african music connoisseur John Beatle, to Carlo Xavier for letting us use his fantastic edit of "O Anel"  and to my close friend Keith Slater for offering us some of the fantastic music included here.

DJ-Kicks: Quantic

Theme From Selva (Remix) (Mixed)

Len Leise Edits (LL001)
Limited edition edits. Side A 'Stars for Jorge' turned into more of a remix and the B side 'Desperado Dining' is much simpler in execution. These started as edits for me to play out a couple of years ago. But due to a few requests I thought i’d give a them a press. I’ve only pressed 150 of these. All hand numbered.

Out at the end of May.

DC Promo Tracks #321: "New Life" by Ed Longo & Applied Arts Ensemble is part of the release "The Other Fantasy" on Early Sounds Recordings @earlysoundsrecordings @edlongo

Buy Now: http://www.earlysoundsrecordings.com/?product=ed-longo-the-applied-arts-ensemble-the-other-fantasy 

Conceived with a strong jazz-funk, fusion and boogie sound it has been conceptualized around the idea that the schizophrenia of the internet-age, the visions of Otherness (the undiscovered lands, the primitive happiness, the impossible love) permeate the collective consciousness and the idealized “Other” loses any correspondence with the physical world.
