Next party: Farbfernseher Berlin, 07 April 2017 - Danvers + NVWLS + Ben Gomori

SMBD (aka @Simbad) is one of the most prolific and eclectic producers in dance music, with a list of original, remixes, collaborations and uncredited performances that runs for pages and pages. Never one to be pinned down, he makes whatever he feels, from ‘bruk’ house and garage through to soulful bass excursions and global beats. Part of Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide and Brownswood roster, he has been on fine form recently with releases on Apron and Local Talk and his disco cut-up bomb 'Captain' on our 'Dialogue Vol. 2' vinyl EP. His mix for us is a serious treat, spanning myriad styles and comprising solely of unreleased demos, dubs and collaborations.

*How would you describe your sound?*

I guess its soul music. My aim is to make timeless shhh. And i work with electronics, digital & analog machines to live instruments and vocals. I'd say most of my stuff is also dancefloor orientated.

*What and who inspires you and influences your sound?* 

Travelling. Movement. Friends. Women. Mysteries of the Universe. Musicians and fellow music makers & DJs. Too many to mention.

*Can you tell us a little about this mix and what it means to you?*

This is just a selection of unreleased stuff from the last few years, almost like a showreel, labels are welcome to holla if there's something they're feeling. I've got tons more hahaha...

James Stewart story behind the edit: « I found this track during a trip in Benin. I came home with my luggage full of local records, most of them dug in Juju. I love that sound coming from Nigerian Yoruba tradition which is a contemporary version of traditional music such as ‘Were Were’ or ‘Apala’. The full album shows a classical Juju style, except that very last track coming like a cosmic pearl with its beat box and Juno pad. The original track is called ‘Sir Shina Adewale & The Superstars International-Verse 6 ( Wel-Kabed Records 1979, Nigeria) (Yoruba Juju)’.  Shina Adewale is an abbreviation for Shina Peters et Segun Adewale, two must-known artists of Nigerian Juju music. With Chylo, we made this edit in 2010 and waited for a good opportunity to publish it. »
 
James Stewart is the host, resident dj and promoter of monthly night « Black Atlantic Club » in Lyon & Grenoble, France. Borrowing the term “Black Atlantic” from renowned scholar Paul Gilroy’s 1993 book, Stewart presents “black music” as a transnational, incredibly diverse cultural exchange. An avid lecturer on the subject and founder of the Blog Afrosouldescarga, he merges an intellectual approach with the musical and creative side of things: as an active conga player and percussionist, show host at Radio Nova & LYL Radio and producer of his own music.
 
His next EP « Where are we going » will feature Ghanaian singer Ayuune Sunle, including two original tracks and two remixes by Simbad. Out on Mawimbi records in the coming months!
