"montreal's tropical music fiend philippe noël is back @ soul bonanza!

last december (2010), philippe visited bogota, barranquilla, santa marta, medellin, cali and cartagena to meet up with the people there and hunting the vinyls. and that short but satisfying trip led him to the brilliant latin and colombian music mix @ sofrito, 716 music and his own blog canicule tropicale

this time philippe selects some obscure but great female voices from around the world - brazil, kenya, benin, angola, ethiopia, martinique... so fresh and lovely mix! it starts with the sit-back-and-relax feeling, but watch out - bezunesh bekele and hafusa abasi will set you on fire! you cannot turn down joby valente's or lourdes van dunen's invitation to dance!
enjoy!"

Setting out to create a future Balearic anthem while doffing a cap to street soul and synth-heavy Italo-disco B-sides of the early 1980s, Orbs of Light’s debut single, ‘Billion Days’ lands on Leng after a tip-off from Mind Fair duo Dean Meredith and Ben Shenton, who booked the duo to play live at their Rotation festival last summer.

Orbs of Light’s Baz Bradley and A Girl Called Kate have been friends for decades and have collaborated musically in the past, though it was only a couple of years ago that they dreamed up this project. It was first trialled via a 2021 remix for Andres y Xavi on Hollis Recordings (‘Perfect Timing’) on which Kate added new vocals to Bradley’s interpretation of the track. Since then, regular recording sessions have taken place, with the duo first crafting tight instrumental tracks before – in Bradley’s words – “dream up the best songs we can” with “melodies that will hopefully stay in your head all day”.

It would be fair to say that they’ve achieved that goal on ‘Billion Days’, a hooky and addictive affair whose vocal hooks and strong chorus could well inspire Balearic sing-alongs in the months ahead. Their original mix (B1 on the vinyl version of the EP, track 2 on the digital EP) is joyous, cheery and kaleidoscopic, with steel pan style melodies, bouncy synth stabs, jaunty lead lines and Kate’s wonderful lead vocal riding a shuffling, post street soul beat and a bubbly bassline.

The accompanying remix package is naturally very strong too. San Francisco crew 40 Thieves, fresh from dropping a killer single of their own on Leng (‘The Gift’, with disco legends Gary Davis and Cinnamon Jones), step up first with a take that stretches out and builds on Orbs of Light’s original mix – think wobbly nu-disco synth bass, fresh flute sounds, dubbed-out vocal snippets and a locked-in groove that’s just perfect for sun-soaked alfresco dancing.

Fittingly, the second and final revision comes from Mind Fair, whose email to Leng HQ about Orbs of Light got the ball rolling. Opting for a rubbery, body-popping beat inspired by vintage electro, they deliver a joyful, effects-laden Balearic dancefloor ‘Dub Mix’ that somehow makes a genuinely life-affirming record even more loved-up and saucer-eyed – despite the presence of only a fraction of Kate’s addictive lead vocal.

Nightflight Guest Mix

Super FU are back with the first single from their forthcoming long player 'Physical Sounds', featuring some heavyweight remixes to get things moving.
 
The original is a perfect blend of disco, funk, pop, and acid house. Rock-solid beats, analogue bass, searing strings, and all kinds of synth action blend seamlessly with live instrumentation. Paul Withy and Sarah Lazenby trade melodies as the chorus swoops for a mid-tempo end-of-nighter.

The Dub strips out the pop and instrumentation but ups the psychedelics. Deep, trippy and electronic, it takes a hypnotic journey into a world of dub and balearica.

Next up, Craig Bratley brings the pianos front and centre, working the riff that comes off like Marshall Jefferson on downers. The vocals repeat as the track builds to chug and weave to the acid; cue smoke, strobe and dancefloor mayhem.
   
Finally, Leo Zero dubs the disco and rolls with the funk. Once again, the song shows it's strength is as it blends with the piano for nu-disco heaven!

Dicky Trisco: "Craig Bratley mix bloody rocks!"

Alice Palace: "Absolute quality from Super Fu, have always loved the 12 inch dub, so glad its getting a release into the wild :-) Craig and Leo's remixes are the icing on the cake!"

Fingerman: "Heavy vibes here! Leo Zero's mix and the dub are class!"

Robot 84: :"All sounding good, very hard to pick a winner, Leo and Craig's mixes doing it for me:"

QMLS July Radio Show - George Mihaly (2024)

Hey music lovers,

Here’s last week’s 1BTN radio show, and it was right belter, with some great new music, as well as a smattering of lesser-known classics.

This week, as well as uploading the show to Mixcloud, I’ve reactivated my Soundcloud page too, so I’ll be uploading to both platforms on a trial basis to see how it goes.

Hope you enjoy listening again, or indeed listening for the first time if you didn’t catch us live.

Sadly Ben and I aren’t on air tomorrow night, so we will be back on the airwaves next week (21st February) in our usual slot of Wednesdays at 17:00 – 20:00 BST.

Please join us every Wednesday's between 17:00-20:00 BST on www.1BTN.fm, or on digital DAB+ radio (block 9 - 'Brighton trial') or via the Tune In app, and on 101.4 FM RADIO!!

Big big love x x x BM&BM

Raúl Monsalve y los Forajidos find common threads between funk, Afrobeat and traditional Afro-Venezuelan music on “Bocón”. Lauded Family Atlantica frontwoman, Luzmira Zerpa, guests on lead vocals, transforming a traditional song from the coastal region of Barlovento about liars, big mouths, or “bocones” into a diatribe against national and world leaders with a dangerously loose grip on reality, “Bocón” makes it clear there’s no hiding from either the truth, or los Forajidos. As they hammer the ground with bamboo tubes, layering the horns and low-end synth bass with the powerful polyrhythmic quitiplás percussion native to Venezuela.
