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.

Blue Collar Love

CAKE

Up at 5 a.m., I was pitying myself
I laid on the fukin floor, couldn't even stab myself
Barely even cut my wrists, but you do everything so well
And you left me with precision, holy shi, the way I fell 
Right down to my knees, I felt oh so dumb
Thought you'll never leavе again, but then you left me with the crumbs
Of a halfway conversation, now my brain's so fujin stuck
On you and that fukin morning that we snuck inside that room
Yeah, we snuck inside that room, and I was mesmerized by you
When you led me upstairs, you remember what I do
You remember what I did, I was happy like a kid
You was all up in my mouth at dat stupid fukin room, stupid bitch

you're even better at leaving
