Tia Cousins live @ Fold, London 22nd March 2024

John has lovely taste in music which often incorporates more of a world sound. He has a killer show on NTS and throws the Tangent parties alongside Nick The Record. John played a wide ranging set going round the houses in perfect fashion and it was great to hear more of a world sound in those trees at 9am in the morning. A lovely lovely time.

Sometimes we are inclined to take all the things that make up our culture a bit too serious, including ourselves. It seems that, as soon as we cross over to the other side of the PA and stand before the monitors, that seminal hedonistic drive that brought us there is consumed by the unrealistic needs of our high-demanding selves, so we end up stuck on details instead of having some good fun with it all. A bit of a contradictory dynamic, since what lies at the core of any decent experience of musical enjoyment is not careful oversight but cheerful delight, and the best among us, those who excel at making others revel, know quite well when to let these details unravel. Any artist that has achieved it will tell you that, when it comes to conducting a dancefloor, greatness is a byproduct of happiness more than a matter of fitness, which is exactly what we see, hear and feel whenever we experience the enrapturing sets a DJ with CC:Disco’s talents and sensibilities has to offer. Every mix of hers is a joyful journey where she guides us through varied soundscapes made of sonic material from all around the globe and woven with technical prowess. All indispensable qualities of everything we esteem and anything she sets herself to do, and her contribution to this series is no exception.

@nickcobby invites @soosisoos from Mexico City with an absorbing hour guest mix of downtempo 90's trip hop and throwback UK leftfield electronica, all delivered with his signature balearic touch. 

Soos released an EP with Mule Musiq in 2023 and has been steadily rising in prominence since then. A long standing resident at Mexico City's Sunday Sunday party, his recognisable productions and high energy (but often not bpm) DJ sets have been demanding attention with recent tours of Latin America, Europe and Asia.

In the 2000’s Chee Shimizu helmed an untouchable Tokyo DJ collective called Discossession alongside Dr Nishimura (House music buyer for Cisco Records at the time). Balancing out this unit were a young Scotsman-abroad named Jonny Nash (who’d later form Sombrero Galaxy [ESP001] and Gaussian Curve as well as the Melody As Truth imprint), and the late guitar virtuoso and tattoo artist Zecky. Formidable DJs and multi-talents on the Tokyo scene, Discossession released two EPs on Kenji Takimi’s Crue-L imprint and various mixes individually on www.lovefingers.org, all holding well-deserved eternal cult status. Chee’s 'Denshi Meisou' [2006] and 'Follow My Dream' [2007] for Lovefingers as well as his legendary “listening sessions” at HiFi lounge SHeLTeR in the Tokyo suburb of Hachioji, laid foundation for what would become known to his followers as “Organic Music” or “Obscure Sound”, the former extending as the name of his record shop and the latter as the title of his 2013 book. 'Obscure Sound' chronicled his tastes in detail and has since become a sort of diggers bible for peers and younger generations.

At the ESP Institute’s inception in 2009, Shimizu contributed two tracks to Lovefingers’ 'Concentration Vol 1' compilation as apéritifs to a later release. “Later” eventually became “forever” and the mythical piano track (appearing only as a demo on 'Golden Age' and 'Dekmantel 061') is still, to this day, not ready for formal release. Skip a dozen years, musical interests and major life changes, and Chee has now unveiled something quite special in accordance with his Obscure Sound — rather than making new out of old rope, he presents a collaboration with Tokyo guitarist miku-mari a.k.a. Takahiro Matsumura. The artists frequently collaborate at the experimental audio/visual event, 'Sacrifice', held irregularly at Tokyo’s ForestLimit, and in 2018 when Chee was invited to DJ at Japan’s only Ambient festival 'Camp Off-Tone', he and miku-mari endeavored to expand these works into a 2-hour improvised performance. Chee collaged various percussion samples and personal field recordings utilizing four CDJs, supplementing with live windchimes and Andean chajchas, while miku-mari coupled a guitar-controlled synthesizer, 'Sound Tube' software (developed by Japanese Ambient composer Hiroshi Yoshimura) and more live elements such as Tibetan bells and pyramid crystals. Rehearsals for this performance were held prior to the festival at ForestLimit, recorded as multi-tracks and edited into these two cerebral Reconstructions.
