Music from  Patrice Rushen, Domu, Cleo Sol, Lord Echo, Erykah Badu, Amp Fiddler, Jerome Thomas, Dj Regal, Roy Ayers and more... download the full-resolution version if you're feeling it.

Vibrations - Roy Ayers Tribute Mix

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

My name is Oscar Wilson, I’m a designer from London, and work with my brother Ben as @thewilsonbrothers https://www.instagram.com/thewilsonbrothers/ 
We also play records together, mostly 45’s these days, but both of us have LPs and 12” as well :) My ‘collection’ is pretty varied, but based around a lifetime's love of Black music, and playing these records ‘publicly’ for 32 years now.


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

I love that 7” versions are shorter, and the physical format smaller / lighter than 12” - so you can take (physically carry!) and play more music / genres across the night.


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

In fact it actually turned out to be two hours in the end! :)  - taken from a 5.5 hour live recording at Hazel’s - @hazels.sta https://www.instagram.com/hazels.sta/ - which is a super nice music led restaurant and wine bar concept about 30 minutes north of London. The 1st hour is early in the night / 2nd hour later on - but it’s all very relaxed vibes for listening (and dining) rather than dancing.


4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

We play mostly small private parties these days, but I’ve been really loving the restaurant sessions at Hazel’s where the mix was recorded, and also got some mixes online here . . https://www.mixcloud.com/studio_oscar/  including a series of lockdown Wilson Brothers radio shows for Run Dem Radio @run.dem.crew 
https://www.instagram.com/run.dem.crew/ 

Next Hazel’s set will be in late May + dates soon @Bambi_e8 with my man @Lebz7

Celebrating the 75th birthday of Mr Roy Ayers with this mix, showcasing some of my favourite tracks from his slightly lesser known material… Well, I mean compared to tracks like Everybody 
Loves The Sunshine, Searching, We Live In Brooklyn, Running Away, Love Will Bring Us Back Together…

I also hear new stuff that I hadn’t noticed before when I listen to his music - the track with Jack Wilson that opens the mix up is so heavy and cosmic for its time, and I’d forgotten about the track with Wayne Henderson! There are so many great albums out there including the 2 Virgin Ubiquities BBE put out... We could devote a whole week of radio programmes to Roy, his archive is so large… 

He is the key to all things between jazz, soul, disco and hip hop…. Thank you roy for all the music...
