Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 176

Mad Mats, dating back his famous Raw Fusion Parties, is definitely one of the best "Club Jazz" DJ's in the World even if most of the people know him as a great House Dj with amazing Hip Hop Skills!

He has done for "My Favorite Things" a great mix including some digital only and unreleased tracks like this killer Incognito Remix by MAW and this hard to find, CD Only, Billy Foster’s Samba tune !

Mats has selected too some rare gems, which remember he was a very serious digger and records collector during the 80’s and 90’s like the Killer Britfunk "Final Approach" by ICQ !

Some Future classics also featured by Mats and myself like the EWF’s Cover "Can’t hide love" by Mishcael Stephenson and one of the best Jazz record of the year by Emma-Jean Thackray. 

Enjoy and don’t forget we can dance on jazz !

MY FAVORITE THINGS — Show #37 w/ Mad Mats (Hosted by Psycut)

An amazing record recently landed in my post office box, an absolute classic of an album I honestly never thought I’d see in person let alone get a copy of: Winston Mankunku Ngozi’s quartet masterpiece “Yakhal Inkomo” - I insist everyone at least take a listen to this on Spotify or elsewhere. On this episode I've included the title track to start off the set. There is also an excellent interview with South African jazz scholars Percy Mabandu, Kevin Davidson, Nduduzo Makhathini and Salim Washington discussing the importance of this recording, available at: https://www.allaboutjazz.com/yakhal-inkomo-a-south-african-masterpiece-at-fifty-winston-mankunku-ngozi-by-seton-hawkins

Anyway, I decided to partner it on this podcast with a few other horn-heavy selections. Hope you dig!

Tracklist: Mankunku Quartet, Azar Lawrence, Lee Morgan, Sahib Shihab, John Coltrane

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 179

MIMS is delighted to share a special and certainly eclectic mix from Lorenzi Morresi, DJ, producer, musician and co-founder of Supereclectic, whose recent album 'Music For Closed Airports’ is a wonderful mix of live compositions and studio productions that stretch out across jazz funk, italian library and electronica.

@lorenzomorresi: “This mix was recorded in my countryside studio in Le Marche region in Italy. It features some of my own music as well as artists and tracks that inspired my new album 'Music For Closed Airports'.”

Previous releases included a sold-out 45 collaboration with Tenderlonious, on 22a Music,  that we raved about on release, and the first taste of much more to come from the pair.  And not forgetting his debut album ‘Object Melodie’ on Fly By Night Music, another MIMS favourite. 

Supereclectic is a new record label founded in 2020 by Italian DJ's and producers Lorenzo Morresi and Tommaso Cicconi. They both share a passion for high quality music where genre knows no bounds, although their label and DJ sets tend to focus on jazz, funk, fusion, contemporary experimental and Italian library rarities. The label has already released two eps featuring obscure jazz funk band Session Segreta and Italian jazz guitarist Giulio Romano Malaisi. This year the label released Lorenzo Morresi's 2nd album 'Music For Closed Airports' and promises part one in the Supereclectic Edits series that will feature rare edits and represses from their record collections.

Ending 2021 with a long set of some of my favorite purchases this past year! (I can't really call most of these "digs"). This episode is a combination of some long-time wants I knocked off the list with some of my favorite new records by both young, incredible artists as well as brilliant veterans like Brian Jackson.

A huge, massive thank you to all the listeners who have tuned in this year, whether new or old. I greatly appreciate you. Special shout to Pipomixes for posting my mixes and for keeping DJ mixes alive for us all still doing this stuff! 

Tracklist: Michel Sardaby, Brian Jackson, Nucleus, JAB, Alex Santos Orchestra, Johnny Frigo Sextet, Garay Trio, Brandee Younger and Dezron Douglas, Jimmy Heath, Amanda Whiting, Mankunku Quartet
