OpenLab Live Sessions: Jimpster

Volume 2 of my Selective Soul Sessions series, where the focus is on jazzy, funky, and soulful stylings of deep house music. Features music from Jimpster, Black Loops, Mr. G, Vince Watson, Jon Dixon, Waajeed, Kai Alcé, Chris Stussy, and many more, from labels such as Freerange, Local Talk, Robsoul, Defected, and PIV.

This set is dedicated to the memory of Alland Byallo. Rest easy, buddy. It was Alland's exquisite musical pallette and chart recommendations that helped spark the digging session that led to the spontaneous recording of this impromptu set.

Enjoy it with a nice drink while the sun is shining. 🌞🍺🍷🥃🏙🌆

Selective Soul Sessions (Vol. 2)

Muszika invites Vek Neirbo (USA) / podcast #062

A firm favourite the world over, and rightly so, Cap is an artist that transcends minimal and its many guises. A selector in the truest sense of the word that does not simply play track after track, but more, he paints a rich tapestry of sound that strips each movement to its core elements in order to repurpose them for the dancefloor. This is most definitely a tact that was put to good use during his set at Club Guesthouse's recent season closing party, but more on that later.

Trommel.179 - Cap

Vek Neirbo is the unruly alter-ego moniker of longtime U.S. based DJ and producer, Kev Obrien. 

Recently relocated in the Mile High City of Denver, Vek's musical focus is honed in on tripped-out, hypnotic minimal, tech house, and breakbeat -- best served after 4am, when the party is at its freakiest.  

In the daylight hours, he works full time as a Label Manager for underground labels such as Superlux Records, Eyedyllic Music, Moteur Ville Musique, and others --  collectively releasing music from artists such as Akufen, Delano Smith, Jay Tripwire, Mike Shannon, Robert James, Subb-An, Voigtmann, and many others.

Vek Neirbo - Macrodose Sessions (Vol .04)

@kev-obrien

Vek Neirbo is the unruly alter-ego of U.S. based veteran DJ, Kev Obrien. The main musical focus for Vek Neirbo is centered around hypnotic minimalist grooves.

This particular set for the Recordmix series was recorded during an impromptu afterhours sesh in the twilight morning hours on New Year's weekend in Denver, Colorado, USA. The vibe moves from deep and dubby minimal house, to tripped-out tech and minimal, as well as some uplifting timeless classics toward the end -- which will carry you on a diverse and introspective sonic journey, for the mind, body, and soul.

Recordmix 064 - Vek Neirbo

Volume 12 of my ongoing mix diary series, in which I depict the feelings I'm going through during notably emotional times in my personal life. 

Recorded May 11, 2024

This series has been ongoing for 11 years, and is always focused mostly on vocal deep house. The lyrical content and musical vibes are intentionally selected to transmute and release feelings that are much more quickly accessible to me through music, than through any other other means of introspection. 

It's a cathartic process for me to program, play, and listen back to these musical diaries. 

This chapter includes a mix of deep house, some organic and minimal house, as well as some breaks, and progressive house, with lots of edits of iconic voices such as Sade, Fleetwood Mac, Amy Winehouse, Billie Eilish, Nina Simone, etc, etc.

Every once in awhile, these mixes are done during happier days, but this wasn't one of those times. 

I did my best to bring some sunshine and optimism into the picture, but the heart feels how it feels, so this was a snapshot of a sad moment, forever caught in time. 🤷

This is my heart on my sleeve. Handle with care. I hope it resonates with some of you and hope you'll enjoy!

(words by: @kev-obrien )

Since his first big shot heard 'round the world of underground, cavernous dancefloors, the vocal and lyrical prowess of Simon Jinadu stood out. That shot was delivered via his collaboration with Jamie Odell on his 2013 Jimpster album, Porchlight and Rocking Chairs.

The unmistakeably earnest and heartfelt delivery of the song's deeply introspective and personally heartfelt lyrics were deeply moving to me personally at that time, as I was going through a divorce and through so many life transitions that I was finding it difficult to maintain a firm grasp on my own sanity, let alone on reality itself.

Songwriting of this nature within the often cheesy and shallow world of dance music vocals are a rare and welcomed commodity, so it was no surprise when the song was then remixed by the man of the moment, Dixon, and turned it into one of that summer's most remembered anthems.

Then came his breathtaking appearance on Klas-Henrik Lindblad's Moodmusic Records; in collaboration with Alessio Pagliaroli, "Distractions" (which was also simultaneously a breakout hit remix for Frankey & Sandrino). From my perspective, it was this record which truly propelled Mr. Jinadu onto the path which has led him to release countless collaborations with the most revered and highly regarded producers and labels in the business.

The moral of all of these words, however, does not lay on the surface in which I've used as a fitting place to foray into and down the rabbit-hole, as DiggnDeepr is obviously not about keeping our hands clean on the surface, its about getting them dirty and taking the time to dig to the bottom of the pile until our fingernails are so dirty that several days of showering will take place before we are willing to go back out into public.

In this case, that digging led me back in time, 15 years to be exact, to 2002. While I was there, I bought a Furby doll obviously. I listened to some new shit from this dude 50 Cent, who you can find in da club, who apparently is not into making love but is into having sex. All of this became moot when I discovered what I'd come to 2002 looking for: a single put out on the now defunct label Bitches Brew, by Jinadu, under his own name as original artist and vocalist, entitled "Natural Thing".

Prospecting trip over. Gem found, acquired, and now delivered to you:

Diggn Deepr for Gems: Jinadu - Natural Thing (Original Mix)// 2002, Bitches Brew Records

The long-since defunct label Four:Twenty Recordings launched in 2001, and seems to have vanished with no trace in 2012, served as a hotbed for forward-thinking house music, releasing early cuts from the likes of Solomun, MANIK, Locodice, and many others, long before these artists became the superstars they would later become.

Despite being an avid supporter of the label, and on their promo list at the time; I -- along with hoards of others -- somehow (embarrassingly enough) completely missed this record entirely when it dropped.

A little nugget of knowledge I was not aware of until the excavation into the mystery that this record is shrouded in, is the fact that Four:Twenty turns out to have been a subsidiary of the infamous Hope Recordings brand (notoriously known as the label Nick Warren ran A&R for).

Anyhow, on to the subject at hand: the beautiful piece of music which is presented before you. 

It wasn't until recently when I unearthed this gem, which was covered in cobwebs entirely, that seems to have been largely overlooked and ignored by -- well, pretty much EVERYONE -- in the discovery of this original mix of "Alba Adriatica" by Class 71, which was released on wax in September of 2008, and included what would ultimately become it's arch nemesis that buried it into the ground early and for good, on it's B-side, which was a pair of mixes from Move D (which, while done with good intent and well-produced, simply don't measure up to the original, in my opinion.)

I stumbled upon this absolutely incredible chunk of driving, jazzy, nugget of grooving gold last month during an all-night digging session on Juno. It was a digging session like most others until I was led down a tunnel (thanks to Juno's highly accurate and intruitive reccomendation algorithm), where I found myself reminiscing days of old, remembering the classics that Four:Twenty delivered, but feeling the urge and need to be delving deeper into the label's back catalog. 

Then I hit the paydirt, and it was about as glimmering as a gem could be, despite the cobwebs it was raveled and tangled in.
