Secousse Summer 2016 Mixtape

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

I'm DJ/Producer for over 20 years living in Jersey, Channel Islands... Recently release a track with Oxygen from SoundSci on Dinked45 Records, record collection mainly into hip-hop/funk/soul and reggae but have a very eclectic taste so won't rule anything out as you'll guess by the mix lol.  Been buying 7" on and off for last 10 years, especially been keen on finding the samples which have been used in hip-hop records for Djing, not fanatically about having the original but nice to have if can afford it :)

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

A lot more fun and challenging to DJ with as the tracks are finite time length to play, there's also the investment not only with buying the track but time spent tracking down something, alot easy with the internet now though.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

To be honest, it was a bunch of tracks thrown together, nothing planned. Kind of wanted it to reflect parts of my dj sets that's all and records i like.

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

Can mainly been seen playing in Jersey at most of the bars, clubs and festivals in the Island, every so often get opportunity to play off island which is a bonus aswell.  Music can be found here:

If I Was Your DJ • LoveMachine #4

My podcast schedule has been a bit off with the upcoming move, but here's a new episode - this time around it's all digital jazz selections, some newish things found on Bandcamp recently. So much good new music out there, you just gotta do a little searching for it. Perusing Bandcamp and other platforms isn't the same things as digging up old records, but it is a whole new universe of music to navigate where cool stuff can be found. Anyway, enjoy.

Tracklist: The Expansions, Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, Redline Trio, Ashley Henry, Ze Bigode Orquestra, SLOW GOLD, Mekbuda, Nate Maslowski

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 136

More than two years ago "Matasuna Records" already reissued two songs of the gifted Peruvian piano master "Otto de Rojas" on a 7inch single. "El tema de Coco" is another great track on his 1976 album "Superéxitos Bailables", on which he mixed Latin with Funk, Jazz and Disco. The song was reworked by "Retro Roland Riso", known for his Bossa 70 edits and by label founder "Alex SoulBrigada", who now deliver two different versions of this tune for the dancefloor.

"Otto Raúl de Rojas Guedes" (1941-2008) was a Peruvian musician, composer, arranger, musical director of radio and television broadcasts. He's considered one of the most influential figures in Peruvian music of the 70s.

The musical landscape of Peru, especially in the musical epicentre Lima, was influenced in the 1960s by US Funk, Soul or even psychedelic Rock and merged it with Peruvian Cumbia and traditional Criolla music. The young & unknown "Otto de Rojas" started his musical career in this environment and played in various bands like "Bossa 70" and "Los Hilton's". A commercial breakthrough in his career came in the early 70s when he took over the musical direction of the TV show "Trampolín a la fama" and made a name for himself with his talent as an arranger.

He was also active as an arranger and musician for the Peruvian record company "MAG", and as a versatile and talented pianist he has participated in various recordings of different popular rock groups like "Los York's", "Traffic Sound" and others.

Otto released his first successful solo project at the age of 25 in 1976. His songs "Al Ritmo Del Bump-Bump", a cover version of the US hit "Soulful Strut" by "Young-Holt Unlimited", and the song "Choca Las Caderas" are considered one of his greatest successes and represent for many the best songs of Otto de Rojas. In the following years he recorded more albums and was often to be found on the stages of Lima.

In 2008 Otto de Rojas died tragically and much too early. With him, the Peruvian music world lost an unsung icon. However, his music will live on and keep the memory of this exceptional talent alive.

"Roland Retro Riso's" Al-Ritmo Rework on the A-side puts an impressive percussive rhythm layer over the original and makes it to an inimitable funky groover for the dance floor.

The "SoulBigada" Edit on the B-side transforms the song into a deep disco-funk banger, focusing on the deep rolling bassline, funky wah-wah guitars, brass and the virtuoso piano playing of Otto de Rojas, giving the song the necessary pressure.

Erik Sumo is one of the most established Hungarian music producers of the last 20 years. His various acts gained national and international, underground and mainstream success, he scored movies - think of the now cult Liza, The Fox Fairy soundtrack on one of our early 7”-s. His latest album, ‘Mount Fuji’ came out in November 2019, it contains ‘Run Into The Wild’, an odd, yet catchy leftfield floor killer with an unmistakable mood built of sinister imaginings from the woods around Fujisan and glamorous disco vibes. On this his EP you can hear the previously unreleased disco dub version of the song and 3 remixes bringing the original to completely different directions. Mytron & Ofofo of Multi Culti and Les Yeux Orange fame chose to go the tribal way by adding some extra percussion and reconstructing the chorus making the track even more dance floor friendly than it was originally. Oakland based producer E. Live turned the tune into a contemporary boogie burner, while Budabeats staple M.W.D.’s version has an atmosphere that is impossible to describe.
Limited to 400 copies worldwide.
