Everything's Gonna Be Alright! (Summer 2021 Mix)

Dawntempo is my take on an alternate late night vibe...  when at the end of a night out, the sky is teasing purple, and people are ready to sit down to connect with friends they are faced with a choice… stay out, or head home.  If they can find a place where the vibes are chill, and there’s some comfy seating, then the party is elongated over smiles, laughter, and blissed out emotional beats.

And if the scene is just enticing enough… that critical mass makes it to sunrise to imprint their most magical highlight reel memories.

I believe (true) downtempo is a lost art and that this early morning slot is the perfect place for its triumphant return as people dance, cuddle or converse while FEELING beautiful bass music fueling forever friendships.

I've been known as the sunrise guy for years, but I've come to believe that it's really all about the dawn...

This mix was recorded live at my friend J’s 50th.  Happy B-Day J!

In honour of our brand-new single, 'Hypnotise', we've whipped up a half hour mix of all the soulful dance music, deep club beats, and house grooves that inspired it. Instead of digging into our usual record crates of fat funk breaks and party hip-hop, we've pulled out driving gospel house, sweet Afrobeat, and plenty of other classic and upfront 4/4 flavours to get down to. Enjoy!

01. General Ehi Duncan & The Africa Army Express –  'Africa (My No.1)' (Captain Planet Remix) 
02. Cassius –   'Action' (feat. Cat Power & Mike D)                                  03. The Allergies –  'Hypnotise'

06. Funky Destination –  'It’s The Music'                                          
07. Calussa & Malone – 'Besame'                                                      
08. Bosq  – 'Song For Ehi' feat. The Ibibio Horns & Kaleta              
09. Africanism – 'Block Party'

Noche de Nizuc - Riviera Maya 2023

If you dig these vibes, help me spread the love & 'Re-post' would ya?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Live set recorded at The Gathering X in June of 2023.

Huge thanks to The Gathering for having me out again.  Back in the day, when I first started going to parties, there was always a chill-out stage.  It wasn't where the big names played, but it was THE place to hang out with friends.  Over the years, those stages have vanished, so I believe downtempo is like a lost art.

Dawntempo is my unique brand of that -- downtempo at dawn.  It's vibey, and it makes you want to wiggle, but it's also chill enough that hanging out and talking with friends feels totally appropriate. 

Hope you enjoy.

What a beautiful morning it was at the River Stage of Mushroom Valley Festival 2023!

Spin City #353

For those of you that have not yet experienced the Pumpkin phenomenon you’re in for a treat! This week the L.A.-based DJ/producer, a.k.a. Nicholas Alvarado, is our very special guest on the RIPEcast! 

We admit to being a little late to the Pumpkin party having just heard him for the first time at Lightening in Bottle this year, but Nicholas has been dazzling dance crowds in his native Los Angeles and at events like L.I.B. for years.  "Electrorganic mood music for romance and espionage", "Lovesauce", "Bouncy Lovehop" and "Folktronica"; Pumpkin's style is truly unique and defies any conventional description. And after experiencing his mesmerizing set on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon under the billowing ribbons of the Woogie stage, Zach Moore returned from L.I.B. determined to book the talented Mr. Alvarado for a RIPEcast. Lucky for us, he was well up for it!

If you live in San Francisco you'll have two opportunities in the coming weeks to catch Pumpkin live. The first is this coming Friday, August 5th at the Rickshaw Stop. For more information on that event visit http://on.fb.me/pumpkin-rickshaw. The second is Friday, August 12th at Public Works. For more information on that gig visit http://on.fb.me/pumpkin-publicworks. 

A little more background on this week's guest....
Pumpkin is the music producer and curator behind the Wandering Marionettes and their eclectic event, Kabinet Theatre, as well as a member of the famed Los Angeles collective POCKET Underground. By embracing all moods and genres, Pumpkin's remixes and DJ sets have been known to inspire lust, love and laughter. Tactfully walking the thin line between hip-grinding rhythms and bittersweet lyrical melodies, Pumpkin truly loves every song he shares with the dancefloor.

Enjoy the warm and dulcet tones of Pumpkin, Boys and Girls.

SHAMBHALA INTERVIEW:

-- What are you most excited for at Shambhala this year, both on the music front and the experience as a whole?

I’m excited to hear some other performers and music that I never heard before. So many friends have played at Shambhala and told me how epic the vibes are there.

-- What do you enjoy most about hosting a radio show on KCRW, and what are some of your favorite moments from the past eleven years?

I’ve deejayed for about 20 years, and I’ve never pre-planned a dj set in my life. I believe it would be a disservice to the crowd and the moment we’re co-creating together. So I’m used to showing up and becoming a conduit for the energy in the event. But not until I started mixing on the radio did I realize how valuable an outlet it would be for me to have somewhere that I select music solely from within, having no input from a crowd. It helps me hear what I have to say to the world, or even to myself, through my song selections. Then when I show up to play for/with the people it’s a choir of different vibes expressing as one.

-- As a selector on the radio, we know you have your finger on the pulse of the music world. Who are some of your favorite artists in any genre right now?

My man Flako (aka Natureboy Flako) makes some gorgeous music, and his new album “Theme For A Dream” just came out. I just played with Gabriel Garzon-Montano, and he always blows me away. Kamasi Washington has a second album out, and is already the stuff of legend for the future of spiritual jazz. I could go on for days about folks… best to listen back to my weekly KCRW radio show to hear a lot more. You can listen via the free KCRW app or on WWW.KCRW.COM/JEREMYSOLE.

-- Tell us a bit about the importance of sounds like funk and soul to your music and life?

To me, the word soul as a genre of music, and soul as the eternal source within one’s temporary body, are both one in the same. If you take that nectar of life within us, and distill it down to a form of musical moonshine, that’s funk. Some really potent stuff too.

The Sweetness

DJ Leif Time is a musical story-teller, with a love for downtempo, chill-out vibes highlighted by his signature nustalgica collection — nostalgic tracks updated by a modern electronica sound.  After 2 decades collecting gems and seamlessly stitching them together, his sets have an arc and flow that bring listeners on a journey through time and sound to make them groove, dance, cuddle or converse.  His distinct style of uplifting music that inspires smiles and appeals to diverse audiences means people wake up in their tents and know “Leif is playing… I’ve gotta get up and be there!”  It was a fan of his that described his music as "The Soundtrack for Life," and his mixes are the go-to choice for road-trips, after-hours hangouts, dinner parties, and daily life.  

He cites Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz vol. 1 as his favorite album of all-time and his direct inspiration to both become a dj and take his artistic endeavors down the road less travelled of the downtempo art form.

If you’ve enjoyed one of his mixes here, please consider visiting his website, http://www.djleiftime.com and joining his VIP mailing list to get exclusive releases, stay informed of his upcoming events, and personally connect.  Since so much of his impact happens in random living rooms across diverse geographies, he loves to hear from and connect with fans directly to replace the visual fan feedback loop normally present at a live performance.

Much of his exposure comes from fans sharing his mixes, so your outspoken appreciation of his music is what fuels what he does...  Thank you!!!
