DJ D.DEE | Café Kitsuné Super-Series | Exclusive Mix

Finally back after a several-week hiatus due to my move. Definitely some hard losses these past weeks, with absolute legends Pharoah Sanders and Ramsey Lewis passing away. Ramsey Lewis's records were some of the first jazz and funk records I purchased, and I highly recommend his catalog - it's still pretty affordable, and just as beautiful and funky as many of the "rare" and pricey records from other artists. Pharoah Sanders' records are getting a bit more pricey these days, but most are still attainable - and there are some good represses out there. Absolutely beautiful music. Rest in Power to both these legends, I'm eternally grateful for what they brought to all of us.

I tried to intersperse some interview clips of each of them within this mix, which I did live on Twitch a few days ago.

Pullin from the Stacks - Episode 239 - New Modes

Mix by Jürgen von Knoblauch:

I have done the mix to celebrate the release of Paz e Futebol, Volume 3 compilation compiled by Junior Santos.

Over time, Junior and I developed a friendship based upon listening, talking, analyzing and trading Brazilian music.

When the idea came up to let Junior compile Volume 3, I was so thrilled that I even agreed to change the original concept of our Paz e Futebol series. Namely to compile Brazilian influenced music from all over the world be it from the past or the present. 

Junior, however, selected 8 fantastic recordings made in Brazil from the 80's which throw a bridge from major released recordings to independently organised releases. 

This mix features some of those recordings but it also pays homage to the original concept of Paz e Futebol and features actual productions with a Brazilian taste as well. Additionally, the mix presents recordings which might be part of one of the next Paz e Futebol volumes. Enjoy:)
