Bar Jerusalem with Akvilina and Menqui [14.12.2023]

It's certainly been a very strange and unpleasant year, finishing on an extremely sour note. However, some very, very wonderful and beautiful music has been released despite this, helping elevate one's spirit above the noise and dismal situation our planet is facing.

I didn't celebrate new year (a pint with my pal was it)...but earlier in the evening I made myself record this 2.5 hour mix of some of my favourite ambient and downtempo music of the year.

It includes Saeko Killy, Ramzi, XIII, Michal Turtle, Alek Lee, Quade, Pieter Kock, Secret Circuit, Erik Wollo, Ssiege, Jon Keliehor & Signy Jakobsdottir, Greville & The Lonely Voices, Finis Africae, Khidja, Froid Dub, Sign Libra, Habitat Ensemble, Simplists, The Black Frame, Kane Ikin, MD Pallavi & Andi Otto, Claire Rousay, Deep Nalstrom, Juna, Severin Black, Peter Power, Shakali and maybe a few others.

Leave a comment if you can't ID something and I'll try and answer. Mostly played from vinyl with a few exceptions.

Wishing you all a good 2024. Let's get together and make our voices heard!!!

2023 Revue (Part 1): Ambient & Downtempo

Menqui is a Berlin-based music enthusiast, always on the hunt for musical treasures ranging from obscure electronics over weird disco tunes, wavey bangers, proto house and way more. Aside from his immaculate credentials as a DJ, he is part of the monthly radio show „Past Forward“ on Cashmere Radio, manages the R.i.O. label and produces music as one third of the „Dolphins“ project. Menqui’s mixtapes invite you to float away and dream to, but if you’ve ever heard him out you already know he knows how to work a dancefloor.

Cosmo Vitelli (warm up set) - Der Keller @ Sameheads 01.03.24

Deeper explorations in dub, echo and reverb bless the airwaves of these digital shores paying respect to Jah and the sound birthed in Jamaica. Not the usual reggae fare, more of a deviant interpretation one can only find on The Other Side. A psychedelic canvas where many sounds from the past, present and future intertwine and take us to new heights.

Nadia recently ripped it up during a recent Perfumed Garden party at Sameheads and here are the results...... Vinyl only and toe tappingly infectious.  Enjoy!

The night looked like this......

Perfumed Garden time again next week folks....

Reset your musical preconceptions.... Open your hearts and minds....

Nadia Wise (Vinyl only Dj set) - Perfumed Garden @ Sameheads 19.04.24

The mix was recorded after our one-off Bionda e Lupo live concert on occasion of the best NDW album of the past 25 years - La Deutsche Vita.

For my closing set I took over from Riccardi Schola, who graced our premiere by playing Tränen In Der Nacht four times that night. -  According to him due to the fact that he was confused by the 4 sides of the new record and not at all due to the Spritz he was enjoying with relish throughout the night.
BTW Riccardi's very own and second solo EP will be out soon on a private press 7" sparkling with two Italo songs.
My selection I played from vinyl however is all over Europe and Canada. - Although ... I can sense a certain French touch of mid 80's synth pop before I shift the energy to my obscure Neue Deutsche Welle edits.
I remember the elevating feeling to see one of my favorite DJ's Cid Hohner, dancing with his unmatched smile on his face during the last 30 minutes of this night.

Message to those who follow in our wake:
DON'T FALL FOR THE LATEST TREND! You'd actively destroy culture! BE WHAT YOU ARE - HUMAN! Not a generic bot!

H.A.N.D. MIX 058 : Sneaker

Nach nur einem knappen Monat können wir uns bereits mit der 16. Ausgabe unseres geliebten und sorgfältig gepflegten Furikasts zurückmelden.

Diesmal begleitet uns kein Geringerer als der legendäre und fantastische @Menqui !

Den in Berlin lebenden Tausendsassa zu beschreiben ist ebenso schwierig wie ihn musikalisch eindeutig zu verorten.
Dieses Vorhaben würde ihm auch gar nicht gerecht werden, denn genau das zeichnet sein musikalisches Schaffen erst aus.
Egal ob mit seinem @Riolabel , seiner Supergroup Dolphins, bestehend aus ihm, @Daloworks und @FreyBenedikt, oder @Pastforward, seiner Radioshow bei Cashmere Radio, die er zusammen mit @Hendrik_Stein und dem @Kryptic_dj betreibt. Es bleibt immer unkonventionell, frisch und spannend!

Aber auch wenn er sich alleine hinter die Turntables stellt, kommt stets etwas Überraschendes und Neues heraus. Menqui ist eben ein wahrer Meister seiner Künste und ein grosser Zauberer.

Mit Stolz und Freude präsentieren wir euch dieses ganz besondere und einzigartige Set und hoffen, dass es die Geister des Winters ein letztes Mal besingt, damit auch sie den Sommer durch ihre Ruhe finden können.

Manege frei.
