DUNKS_LIVE_YEBISU_2022_PART_2

Picture this. It was the hottest day of the year & the mid afternoon sun was high in the sky.
Many people had been up all night, some were just arriving in the fields in Norfolk.

The Old Gramophone tent was one of the few stages with some refuge from the sun so I played super chill, trippy & Dreamy with lots of Reggae, slow Disco & downtempo dance. There are also lots of unreleased edits & version excursions which you won’t hear anywhere else.

I mourn the fact that there are no longer chill-out rooms in the clubs so this was a chance to play some music that is good to lollygag and trip out to or dance slowly if the desire takes you. 
I brought it up gradually because I don’t have  much chill out music on my stick cos there are no chill out rooms in clubs these days. And yes I am mostly Nick The Stick these days... 

I picked it up a bit more during the 3rd hour as Sassy J was up next so wanted to give her the best chance possible of getting a dance floor happening (was still real hot though).
I played a fun party set on the Thursday night but sadly the recording of that was corrupted.

Anyway I hope you enjoy.

P.S. the photo is in taken in Brighton while I am wearing my favourite Houghton top

Nick The Record HOUGHTON FESTIVAL Recorded live Daytime 2022

Phonica mix 124 is a truly special edition from not just one of London's finest collectors and selectors but one of our long time regulars; Nick The Record. 
Not only has Nick been a loyal friend of our shop in the years we have been open, he has also been one of the driving forces behind the London scene for nearly 30 years. Dealing records professionally to some of the biggest DJs in the world over the years as well as running several labels including his most recent outing Natural House - his knowledge in disco and house is impecible. He has displayed this in his vast deeply thought out sets over the years be it performing the closing set at some of Japan's best underground festivals or at his long running night Tangent with friend John Gomez, he is a definition of a digger. We had a chat with Nick about the mix and what he has coming up, even if we had to hold his flight to Japan for a couple of minutes!

Crown Ruler Mix #34 - Kejeblos

Here at CR HQ we’ve been long time listeners and admirers of Zurich based, Kejeblos and we’re gassed to have him join our ongoing mix series. 

Kejeblos is a man of big taste and big ears that leaps through sounds from all around the globe.

A protegé of Lexx and Alex Dallas from Club Zukunft and Drumpoet Community, Kejeblos belongs to that invincible circle of friends, whose members CCO, Wavetest and Late Invitation are doing the wickedest Chicago House in Liechtenstein, sorry, Switzerland.

Some little treats await you as you press play, with two newbie tunes… one from Palace Pasador’s forthcoming release on Phantom Island and the other from Lexx’s new LP about to drop on the label. 

Enjoy the dive!

Sol is a DJ, collector, and graphic designer in Seoul, South Korea. She plays music from the '90s, such as balearic, downtempo, house, and techno. From a DJ's point of view, when people think of Sol, she wants to be recognized as a person who does not think of a genre of music and gives various genres of music to people.

And now, a little bit of JAZ

John Zahl, also known as JAZ, is a DJ and record collector based in New York, USA, well-known for his eccentric edits and oddball mixes. We managed to connect with John after he'd arrived back in NYC after a few months spent travelling.

His mix, which was actually recorded nine years ago for Sanpo Disco on NTS Radio, features many of his all-time favourite records. He tells us these are songs that he still loves, and which remain in constant rotation. We'd like to mention a few of the tracks, starting with the lovely slo-mo/Italo disco record 'Non Ricordo, Ma Piangendo', B-side of a rare 7" by Giancarlo Aspromonte. Pit Troja's 'Der Voodoo Mann' from 1985 can only be described as German hip-hop over a Moroder-esque bass-line, wonderfully eccentric, as advertised! The late great Björn Holm's 'Tid At Stå Stilla' from his 1984 LP Bortom Gränsernas Hav, takes us into Swedish synth-pop territory. The mix features a few of JAZ's own edits, including 'Cloud Worship' which has to be one of our favourite edits of all time, just superb. This is an exceptionally well put-together mix, and despite the wide range of material, it flows perfectly and naturally, as a good eclectic mix should do.

Check out his brand new 12" edit release on the Death On Wax label:

Another vinyl EP featuring some more top-shelf edits is forthcoming on the Pinchy & Friends label, and a compilation album entitled Forbidden Fruit is also in the works with Portuguese label Secrets Of Sound, so be sure to check that out too when it's released.

Big thanks to JAZ for his kind permission to include this awesome mix in The Sunrise Mixtapes
