2021 mixes

DJ IJJ with Musica Macondo continues to bring to the surface the lost and forgotten vinyl treasures of the world. This time it's all Calypso. Calypsos subterranean roots can be traced to Kaiso of West-Africa and it is one of the truly original sounds of the Caribbean. Calypsos mellow rhythms, the humorous and often playful lyrics and the overall culture drawing from the age-old griot traditions inspired its spread to the whole world in the 1950’s. This mix showcases a few of those inspired tracks from Europe and some rare  gold from Caribbean. Take your time and listen to the roots sound of the Caribbean...

Mix an interview for @stampthewax Diggers Directory:
http://www.stampthewax.com/2020/04/15/diggers-directory-mendel/

"There’s a raw sense of love and emotion that permeates everything that Amsterdam-based DJ Mendel does. Whether it’s on the dance floor, the airwaves or in the studio, he’s doing it all with heart.

Alongside an interview about his deep-rooted connection with records, for this vinyl-only mix Mendel explores a story of love and heartbreak through two hours of soulful and uplifting disco, boogie and house – the signature sounds he’s become synonymous with over the years."

STW Diggers Directory: Mendel

All vinylmix put together by Dasin Apal, the producer for Leopardens record “Stilen er svimmel”. A blend of Nigerian reggae and boogie, 80s bruton library records and some indian freakyness. A good taste of what he was listening to while creating the musical landscape for Leoparden. Vinyl is all original pressings so expect some surface noise from a long and funky life! Enjoy!

Originally recorded for Reform Radio 24h takeover.

Crown Ruler Mix # 20 - Yuki Noji @user-349043484

Back with another sure fire mix for your ears - this time from NYC diggin devotee Yuki Noji.

A timely mix, as Yuki only last week wrapped up 8 years working behind the counter at storied East Village institution, A1 Records. Yuki and her partner have made the decision to return to their native Japan and begin an exciting new chapter in their lives (where sharing music will be a central focus naturally).

One of New York's most respected record nuts, Yuki has been a constant presence by those in the know. Since 2006 she has co-run the infamous Cedar Room, a much celebrated party that has been said to evoke feelings of Mancuso's The Loft. Before A1 she also had jaunts with both Academy Records and Fat Beats respectively. Her discerning taste is acknowledged by some of the city's most authoritative figures and her reputation has led to invites to play heavyweight parties like You're A Melody and Mobile Mondays. One can regularly hear her on The Lot radio where she shares her bag full of eclectic, uncovered gems. An essential listen.

Yuki has delivered a deep and delightful listen from start to finish on this one. Touching on eccentric dub, lovers rock and modern soul nuggets, bent boogie and left-field disco, this mix is the soulful nourishment you need to get you through the week.

On est plus que ravi d'accueillir @redgreg pour ce 8ème volet de notre série de podcasts. Merci à lui pour ce mix fabuleux, tout en douceur et rempli d'amour. Vous trouverez ci-dessous le petit texte écrit par lui-même présentant son podcast. L'artwork est toujours réalisé par Martin Rose et son talent reconnaissable.

// WORDS 
"This mix was recorded on the first cold Sunday after summer in London with a pair of turntables and an E&S mixer and consists of a vinyl only selection, with quite a few records that I grew up with in the 80s and early 90s, also a few records that I only became aware of in the past decade.  
It’s a slow groove, that I find it perfect to chill to or grooving and cooking on a Sunday afternoon. Although some of these records were strictly played in the dance back in the day. They still have a place with the early morning dancers today and remain special to me." - Red Greg

Lumberjacks Tapes 001: Mark Grusane

Luke Solomon build his foundations in the early 90s starting off behind a record counter at Stop on By in Barnet. Moving on to the legendary Freetown Records and then on to Narcotic Records for Roger Sanchez he worked in PR and promotions. During this time, he gained a residency at London’s ground breaking pirate radio station Girls FM where he met his dearly departed friend Kenny Hawkes. Together they set up the London mid-weeker Space where they invited people like Chez Damier and Derrick Carter. Meanwhile Luke had become close to Derrick Carter and together they set up the Classic Music Company which is currently enjoying a huge renaissance. Amongst all of this Luke began his studio career forming the house music duo “Freaks.” Fast forward over 25 years where Luke Solomon has been guiding the good ship Classic through a seminal year and working closely as A&R with Simon Dunmore at both Glitterbox and Defected. Over the last few years he has been cementing his position as a Producer, working with Horse Meat Disco on their forthcoming album on Glitterbox, and with Honey Dijon on her second artist album forthcoming on Classic in 2020 and writing with the legendary Kathy Sledge on brand new material. Luke has also kept his London residency status holding court at the sadly closed Savage Disco @ Metropolis and moving now to a permanent residency at XOYO in London. He also continues to work on solo music, currently enjoying success with his studio band “Powerdance.”
