Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 177

** Original upload from 2013 ** 

It’s quite an honour to get an exclusive mix from an artist who you’ve been buying his records for 10+ years. Marc Mac of 4Hero fame (founded with Dego) and tons of other projects like Visioneers, Nu Era has been one of the most influential forces in all sorts of cutting edge British music; from Jungle, Broken Beat to Downtempo.

Marc always shares tons of absolute treasures on twitter (@MarcMac4Hero) so we asked him to make us a mix as part of our amazing Forgotten Treasures. He dug deep for this one and delivered a fantastic mix which he affectionately calls “Weird & Wonders”

Essential Listening!

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 195

An exciting premiere this afternoon as we introduce Italian producer and musician, Ayala, and the laidback grooves of "Fuse", forthcoming on Batov Records.

The third taste from Ayala's forthcoming 'Views' release, "Fuse" is a full-bodied slow groover, the steady Afrobeat rhythm and bassline complimented by laidback horns and synths.

Francisco Ayala, whilst earning the support of leading DJs such as Colleen Cosmo Murphy, Dave Lee, Danny Tegalia, J-Kriv, and DJ Rocco, has built an increasingly visible profile producing and DJ-ing, with releases across a wide range of prolific labels, such as Compost, Hector Romero’s Latin freestyle label, Orianna, and leading Italian label, Rebirth, early supporters of the likes of Tensnake, Motor City Drum Ensemble, Soul Clap, Jimmy Edgar, and Deetron.

Ayala (IT) has worked closely with the likes of Hector Romero, remixing jazz sensation Web Web, and receiving the remix treatment himself from cosmic disco legend, Daniele Baldelli, NY party starter Nickodemus, and Italian stalwart Musomeci. ‘Views’ however, sees Ayala heading deep within, into primary loves, Afrobeat and African funk, evolving a warm and organic sound, irresistible to the ear, soul, and body.

Exclusive Premiere: Ayala (IT) "Fuse" (Forthcoming on Batov Records)

Recorded this episode right after the Supreme Court leak of the opinion turning back Roe v. Wade, so I had to start it off with an old spoken-word piece from Digable Planets. "The facists are some heavy dudes / they don't really give a damn about life." Words that continue to ring true.
