Recording of Din Daa Daa's set at Dekmantel Selectors 2021.

"It was a privilege to be invited to play one of the opening sets at Selectors. Being able to share music in a beautiful setting with an open-minded eager crowd felt truly liberating after these months of lockdowns and curfews. My stage was the newly formed Magnolia chill-out area. With four hours to explore, I began my set blending in with the sound of the cicadas, before eventually kicking the cushions out of the way as an invitation to dance. The highlight was seeing so many friendly faces, old and new. Shout out to Daniel, Devon, Yunis, Fee, Femke, William, Momoyo, Mika, Mina, Richii, Takako, Richard the Fig Man, and the lovely folk from Dekmantel: Vinnie, Joost, and Bob."

Ransom Note’s new label Dance Music From Planet Earth have just released ‘Richard Sen presents Dream The Dream: UK Techno, House and Breakbeat 1990-1994’. The British Indian DJ/producer/record collector is a music dance music veteran with a proper heavyweight CV, whose Zelig like history goes even further back. Speaking on his Bleep mix, Richard explains: “All the tracks that I chose for this mix are from 1988 - 1995. I tried to choose tracks that were musical, deep, druggy and still rough around the edges. This is a snapshot of the kind of music I was playing back then - a personal selection of some of my faves. I'd like to think that they all stand the test of time and I still play some of them out now.”

Next up on the Love International Podcast, we have Chez De Milo sailing us away.

Hailing from everyone’s favourite city Bristol, Chez has been in the game for a hot minute. Having been revered by the likes of the late great Andrew Weatherall, Chez has built up his name through his mesmerising metaphysical sets by finding the golden ratio of cosmic to chug. His Club Blanco parties manifest those secret substances of cosmic and chug, hosting the likes of Lauren Hansom, Moscoman and ALFOS (A Love From Outer Space).

Our minds are bent in this two and a half-hour carpet ride through our senses, we are taken to the depths of universes to infinity and beyond 🚀

In addition some very special news in that Chez's debut EP will be released on 12th February under the Futureboogie imprint. After listening to this mix you’re probably going to want to go check it out: https://futureboogie-recordings.bandcamp.com/album/bushwa-ep-incl-smagghe-cross-version

Love International Mix 032 - Chez de Milo

Celebrating the 25th mix with a special 2 hours long "ambient / electronica journey" from the man that has been running Neroli since over 20 years. Welcome Volcov (@neroli). Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Ciao Enrico, congratulations with your 50th release, such a milestone and with a beautiful compilation too that is. 20 years deep in running Neroli, how do you look back to it now? 

V: Thank you! In 2000 I started Neroli on my own and since then that has been my baby. Apart from the music itself, I think a great relationship with your distributor is essential to make things work, and I’ve been lucky during all these years [mostly Goya, RH and Syncrophone along the way and now Mother Tongue]. I always liked the role of ‘curator’ and I was always fascinated by certain collectable labels like ART/OPart, Retroactive, B12 so to start mine was the next step.. There were a lot of different moments and phases but I think the main thing is that is essential to stay true to your own story! I have to say that the making of The First Circle was a real pleasure and, although it might have been unexpected by some people, for the ones who know me well it really describes my musical journey.

MFM: While Neroli mainly focuses on the deeper and soulful side of electronic music, you were a drum 'n bass head before that, right?

V: Not really, I was always a so called ‘house head’ since I started buying Trax, Alleviated, Lil Louis, Nu Groove and so on in the late 80s/early 90s. Across the 90s, like many, I got also interested in other styles and sounds as long as they were exciting wether it was Mo Wax, Plaid, Reinforced or Photek. The thing with drum n bass was that I did my first productions in that style and I got booked to play dnb gigs on the back of that in ‘97/98. But in ’99 I started an Archive night at this amazing squat club called Pergola and that was an eclectic affair with guests like Dego, Phil Asher, Ian O’Brien, etc.

MFM: The catalogue looks very much like a close family of artists, lots of them having a long history in music and with only a few newer faces. How come is that?

V: The catalogue is a mix of releases by some longtime friends like Dego [who always had an essential role on Neroli], Just One/Kemetic Just or Alex Attias as well as some artists we met along the way and ended up releasing several records with us [Trinidadian Deep, Ricardo Miranda, Lee Pearson jr for example] or younger producer whom I really believed in like Skymark, Marcello Napoletano, Deenamic. I think its especially the continuity along the years with certain artists that can be a bit unusual compared to other labels. We have just released now the Theo Parrish reinterpretations of Patrick Gibin/Kaidi Tatham/Josh Milan ‘Love to the World’ but in April we’ll have an EP by another artist never been on the label before.

MFM: You're quite at ease with doing mixes, without a crowd, right? Is there a certain way to how you approach recording?

V: Well, as much I am at ease recording these type of mixes at home as much I find almost impossible to do some with dance material. Most of my ‘dance’ mixes online are live from clubs. Usually when I approach ambient/jazz/electronica radio shows and podcasts I have accumulated a little pile of records in a corner that I think should be included in the next one, stuff that comes to mind almost on a daily bases. So then I just need to go through them and try to make them ‘talk to each other’.

MFM: Your mixes tend to have a really strong story telling kinda vibe. This one's no exception. Did you have a specific narrative in mind?

V: Since MFM asked, and you guys just released the excellent ‘Virtual Dreams’ album, I imagined to somehow do an ambient / electronica selection since I had fond memories of those times, buying records at Fat Cat, playing chill out rooms in the 90s and so on…. I thought of certain songs that I wanted to include and tried to create a little journey with them…
