2022 mixes

Calm Down 3 // So Sad 

Stimulating the lost art of deep listening. Calm Down.
When was the last time you listened — actually listened? Like you were watching a movie or reading a novel? Now the world has slowed down due to corona we have space and time to reflect and to create. From this place in space I made a mix I normally wouldn’t have the time to make and you probably wouldn’t have the time to listen to. Now is the time for a deep listening session. So clear your schedule for the next six hours, get comfy and embrace this spiritual atmospheric jazz adventure,

Calm Down is dedicated to all musicians that are struggling during Corona. I hope this mix inspires you like music always has inspired me, even in the most difficult times.

Brighter Days radio on Worldwide FM 08.10.2021: K&M with Mendel

@layla-rutherford has been on our radar for a while and finally played for us on the beach at Dekmantel Selectors in the summer. Her first EP came all the way back in 2014 and was an exemplary and delicate deep house offering co-produced by Floating Points. A year later, she returned the favour by providing vocals for his majestic Elaenia album. Since then she has been a regular on the likes of Worldwide FM and NTS with tasteful selections that cover downtempo, gospel, house and plenty in between.  

Layla recorded this week's all vinyl mix with two decks and an E&S mixer. It is a perfectly homely selection of soulful songs and gospel goodies interspersed with lo-fi rollers from Omar S, well swung US garage and funk nuggets from around the world. There is no formula and no predictable arc to this mix, just plenty of feel-good music served up with love. Perfect.

GE-OLOGY's exclusive mix for Rainbow Disco Club 2022 podcast:

If I had to choose one word to describe the theme of the mix, it would be TRAVELING. But conceptually, it's more about traveling in ALL its various forms...physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Two years ago, the entire world came to a standstill due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and traveling came to an abrupt stop across the planet in response. Nation after nation closed its borders throughout numerous continents, and soon everyone found themselves confined at home isolated from each other, and our loved ones. And that experience has forever changed us. That alone is another form of traveling...one of pain, difficulty and growth that takes us to new places inside ourselves, even when we're not physically flying across oceans, or gathering with our beloved family and friends (due to social distancing guidelines, quarantines and safety restrictions). But life is a constant journey, so traveling (in a sense) has been a recurring theme for me in all the creative forms of my visual and musical expression, as well as throughout my life's experiences. [Traveling = Movement = Growth = Evolving = Rebirth]. Our journeys continue to shape who we are.

So the mix begins with an introductory exchange between Zenigata Keibu and Mine Fujiko (excerpt from Lupin III) which brings forth the subject of traveling--as the Inspector is in constant yet futile pursuit of Lupin (who had already left on a trip just ahead of Inspector Zenigata's arrival). This Japanese manga series cult classic, inspired by Arsène Lupin (the gentleman thief and detective character created by French writer Maurice LeBlanc) felt like the perfect dialogue to use as the introduction for the deep and heavy mix of vinyl selections to follow. The mix features some special records from my collection, amassed from decades of diggin' around the world [Japan included], which in itself is a byproduct of many great opportunities to travel--for which I'm deeply grateful. The 2nd record I play in the mix, aptly titled "Everybody's On A Trip" by Garden of Eden (the brainchild of gifted Birmingham, Alabama musician Ken Talley), was originally released as a single with limited local success back in 1979. Largely unknown for 28 years, it would later become a highly sought-after 7-inch for DJs and record collectors after Kon and Amir's 'Off Track' series release in 2007 put it on the map. But the mix delves even deeper with a mixture of other rare and obscure records (that have now become quite expensive), private pressings, and even some cheap 'under-the-radar' HEAT that spans the late 70s and early 80s, right up to the present. With a focus towards music lovers, dancers, audiophiles and collectors alike, it builds up slowly and seamlessly into a full-fledged dance-floor experience, navigating through the worlds of jazz, funk, disco, soul, island-funk, post-punk, Brazilian and beyond. It's a celebration of the world reopening again, and finally getting the opportunity to appreciate music together and dance at Rainbow Disco Club. Enjoy!

“I had to explore the unbearable pain of injustice and oppression my people have suffered that the world is standing up against…but also the love and creativity that pain gave birth to.”

A four-plus hour (Extended Mix) from New York DJ and producer Ge-ology, also less-recently-known for a platinum selling cameo, as Tupac’s high-school bandmate and a visual artist whose subjects include Mos Def. The 2016 Stamp Mix guest quadruples his last offering for us with an all-vinyl set titled ‘400 Years (Voices and Scars)’, which expresses the raw emotions he’s been feeling in recent weeks.

(Extended Mix) is a new charitable series that celebrates all-night specialists and more simple, carbon-friendly lineups. Instead of paying on the door for this extended experience, we invite listeners to donate to the DJ directly while their gigs are cancelled. To pass on your gratitude, please direct to Geo at:  paypal.me/geology360.

Hunee's answer: https://soundcloud.com/hunee/hunee-6-tracks-for-underground

Waiting for our gig in London on June 7th http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?469821 http://www.facebook.com/events/360673024054040/ Hunee came with this brilliant idea: I should record a mini selection of 6 tunes that I think he would love - and vice versa. Hoping to please him with tracks he doesn't know and that he would add to his wantlist..

So here it is: 6 tunes + an intro, non-mixed, vinyl-only.

Intro/ Iasos - Libra Sunrise - Unity Records USA 1975
Here's the description of the track written on the backsleeve:
"The rising sun, electrifying all life with the scintillating joy of celestial dimensions". Something you definitely need! 

1/ Beverly Glenn-Copeland - Colors Of Anyhow - GRT Canada 1970 
This I already know that you like :) As I dug it up for you when we spent time together at Superfly in Paris some weeks ago! Such a beautiful LP. Was making sense to start the selection with it.

2/ France Gall - Musique - Atlantic France 1977
Most french people know this track, but as you're german.. there's a chance you've never heard of it! Let's see.. Amazing french disco.. A hit back in the days, overlooked by 'boring diggers' as "too mainstream" maybe, but great music - that's all we care about! I had to put something from my homeland in this selection :)

3/ Rosana - Muito Independente - Odeon Brazil 1978
As we were talking about Brazilian music the other day when I almost made you miss your flight to Leeds! I'm sure you gonna love this little 7inch! Love Rosana's voice!!

4/ Patrice Jefferson - Look Mama, No Hands! - Niambi Records USA
Pretty rare one I believe. I'm sure this will put a smile on your face!

5/ Carol Shinnete With The Concrete Band - Cyanide Love - Zilko Records USA 1984
One for the weasels! Ebay-Popsike & co.. The music in itself: one of my fave boogie tunes! You probably know this.. Anyway.. I'm sure it's your cup of tea!

6/ The Harden Brothers - Deep Inside Of You - H.B. Productions USA 1981
Ok I'm ending this selection with some heavy stuff. Can't remember if I mentioned this one last time we saw each other or not.. Was worth including it anyway!
