Welcome visitor to a brandnew edition of my Quiet Dawn mixtape series focusing on ...Folk Psych Funk.
As the 1960s melted into the ’70s in a colourful swirl of musical possibility, bands and singer-songwriters were experimenting with newfound freedoms. The psychedelic era had brought about many changes and much political upheaval in its wake. Discrete genres became fluid. Many acts fused different sounds together. Rock would meet jazz. Soul was mixed with psychedelia. In this fecund environment the nebulous yet highly prized form of folk funk emerged.

In what’s become a goldmine for crate-digging hip-hop and electronic music producers, keen to find an obscure and funky sample not yet rinsed out or carrying the threat of litigation, folk funk is a blend of acoustic guitars, looping repetitive grooves, jazz touches and full fat drum breaks.

You hear classics of the genre from Kenny Rankin or Terry Callier ,rare new discoveries by Quiet World or Kathi Smith and a killer new psychedelic take on the afro samba classic canto de lemanya. 
Turn on, tune in, drop out.
I wish you  a happy  festive season!  TW

WiscoJazz-Cast: Episode 228 [ROY AYERS TRIBUTE]

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

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

I started Djing for real in 2008, when I started the party TALCO BELLS, a Funk and Soul Party in São Paulo, but I've always been in love with music, researching, doing mix tapes, etc... I used to have a big CD collection, and then the digital era came with MP3s and Napster. I just went crazy. I couldn't work, all I did was search and download. So I started Djing with CDs, but then I saw the guest Djs coming with the vinyl cases, and I thought that's what I want... But people warned me about how heavy and expensive it was. At the time I was following some Blogs from parties in San Francisco and they just played 45's and I thought, that's a cool way to have the tunes I want on vinyl. So that's how and Why I started buying 45's. And I never stopped and I never bought a LP in my life (I maybe have like 8 LPs that people gave me). 

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

I Always loved, and still love to listen to albums, but that's something I do at home or anywhere else in my headphones. For me, DJing is about the tunes, so I'm digging for tunes not for albums when it comes to DJing. I Love trying to mix tracks, I don't really rehearse, I like mixing different songs every time and getting it right is such a big reward. Because one thing we know, mixing with 45's is HARD. So everytime I play is a challenge, and I like that challenge. I don't like rotary mixers because it makes this challenge too hard, I feel like I need an extra hand to play on that thing... so I end up mixing less, and that's less fun (But I do it too).  

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

Well, I love the originals, but I also love Edits and reworks that give a more updated feel to the old tunes. So I mixed a bit of both on this Mix, I like to hear and play edits from non Brazilian DJs and producers on Brazilian tunes. I also like doing edits and I released some on 7" vinyl. There are 3 or 4 of them in this mix.

Summer Breeze

Safe With Me - DJ FABO

“I Just Can’t Take More,” a song deeply inspired by country music narratives, was conceived one December morning in 2024. As I penned the lyrics, I envisioned a duet with a formidable female vocalist. Regrettably, my search for such a talented singer proved futile.
This song is part of a collection of songs I made between 2024 and this year. I intended to release them as part of an album, but my current circumstances prevent me from giving them the love, mixing, and fine-tuning they deserve. Instead, I’m releasing them as they are. If you like this song and others I’m releasing, please let me know. It helps me know I need to continue my current path and identify my target audience.

I wrote and produced these songs with the hope of finding a vocalist, but I couldn’t find anyone. Please focus on how the lyrics and beat of the song(s) make you feel. If you think my voice isn’t bad, reach out.
