@nightmares-on-wax “I made this mix after my interview and conversation with Ralph Moore for Mixmag, and it's inspired by lots of the music and references we were discussing. I wanted to do a mix for Mixmag you wouldn’t usually get going through soul, funk, reggae, disco, R&B and house. All the songs are tunes I’ve been digging this past year during the pandemic. I had a lot of fun digging records for this mix and recorded it live in my studio The Other Ship in Ibiza.”

With only a few days left until we ourselves become deserted on an island, we thought we'd share with you our Bestival Desert Island Mix.

Made with the lovely Pedestrian, we hope this selection of sunshine music will be the perfect accompaniment for when you're next stranded on a beach.

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection

SoulBrigada was initiated 2009 by Alex D. & Fabio V. as a platform for own events in the trijunction on the lake of constance in the south of germany. Alex also started to spin records on this events and abroad. In 2011 the first studio collaboration leads to an exclusive vinyl only release with their remix of a track by Gilles Peterson's Havana Cultura Band on Poets Club Records.
Due to time time constraints and spatial distance Fabio had to withdraw from this project a little bit so that Alex runs nowadays SoulBrigada mainly. Further tracks was released in 2013 on 7inch on english label KAT45 Records and the own 2016-founded Matasuna Records. The focus is now on the label work and spreading the Matasuna vibe on festivals and clubs across europe.
The record collection is approx. 1500 records – one third 7inches and two third 10“ and 12“. I collect a broad range of different records from all over the world. I also like to buy records on my vacations like in Japan, California, Greece, Portugal etc. So for me my collection is more than only music – it's also a memory to special moments of my life. Most of the time when i put out a vinyl from the collection these memories came back to mind.

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

It's more challenging to play with 7inches: on one hand the mixing of the tracks because there's no long in- or outros like on an extended 12“ Disco Single. On the other hand you have to be focused a lot on the mix because of the short play time of the 7“. But i like this kind of challange.
And also the size and weight of the record bag is optimal for trips abroad.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

I was influenced by Djs & Diggers like Paul Nice, Mr. Scruff, Kenny Dope or DJ Muro which couldn't be categorized in a specific genre and suprised again and again with their musical taste. It would be a loss to be restricted to a certain genre because there's so incredible good music out there. This is also the philosophy of SoulBrigada: as the name associates, Soulmusic is obligatory but there isn't a limit to this genre – the main point is the SOUL in the music.
So this exclusive 7inch vinyl only mix reflects excellent the musical bandwith of the SoulBrigada sound. It's ranging from Reggae, Calypso, Brazil, Tropical, Orienta l, Asia over to Funk, Breaks, Boogie towards Dubby Disco.

Thievery Corporation Strictly Reggae Dub Mix

Fat Freddy's Drop’s pirate soul train, resolutely independent, worldwide.

Formed in 1999 in Wellington, New Zealand our sound draws inspiration from almost every part of the black music lexicon. Soul drenched vocals and jazz harmonies collide with tape delays and echo chambers, underpinned by a rhythm section as comfortable laying down a throbbing, techy soundscape as they are a swampy blues stomp.
