Next up on Idle Cellars we have LA's finest debutante and deep digger extraordinaire the infamous Dirty Dave with a smooth selection of slow dreamy floaters for your listening pleasure. It's a delight to share 'Sorcery' with you all. 

Dirty Dave:

I made it my goal to create a mix that really speaks to, and from the heart with this one. Here's a bit of what I've been feeling the past few years, all coming from an inspiration to help further move our bodies & minds toward those ultimate places of peace & understanding. What music can do...it's definitely sorcery.

Best served around dusk or dawn, alone or with people you love. Cheers!

↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH PAUL ↓ ↓ ↓

– Thank you for contributing to our mix series. How did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the result? 

I put a bunch of records together and then decided which direction I was going to go in. I got a 2 hour mix ready of Balearic type wonky soul and then completely changed my mind and did this one. I was going to do a mix of all new finds but then I thought why not do a compilation of my 6 compilation releases. There is one track by Todd Rundgren that isn’t on a compilation of mine but I picked up a seven of this very recently and thought it worked in this mix. I guess that 45 could be the record that didn’t leave the turntable (see question below).

– Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

Well that would make it seem like I have a favourite track, but in truth, this mix is made up of favourites, old and new. I am so glad I managed to track down the elusive Tim Green and get his wonderful track, Got More Love, licensed for my next release on BBE - I did this with the help of Tim Green’s producer Andrew Macpherson. Meeting all the artists via calls or emails and hearing their stories makes me feel extremely privileged. Sharing the music via my compilations and documenting the artists is something I only dreamt about a few years ago. Leaving these musical footprints for people to find and then follow is such a pleasure. I think the sleeve notes on my releases are vitally important as some of the artists haven’t had any press for many years, if at all. My releases are all about them and they should be highlighted for their artistry. I think a compilation should have more information about the artists and very little about the compiler.

– How do you dig for music? 

I used to spend many hours in dusty cellars and record shops searching for records. I think I definitely went through my apprenticeship over 30+ years. Before the days of the internet I would carrying a notebook with vinyl wants everywhere I went. Spending hours if not days searching every nook and cranny where ever I was. Ruining holidays for the people I was with! Buying records from postal lists and listening to clips over the phone!!! But these days I’m pretty much a recluse and do 99% of my digging online. Still taking punts at things that just ‘feel’ right. It is getting harder as prices are rising, shipping and tax is horrendous nowadays.

– One record that doesn’t want to leave your turntable lately?

There are so many records to hear it is hard to leave one on the turntable for very long. I’ve been enjoying listening to the new Will & James Ragar 12” of unreleased material that I’m putting out with BBE and Will & James’ unreleased Acoustic Album that BBE is releasing later in the year. Also loving the output of Gil De Ray, a fountain of creativity. Musically I’m always looking forward to the next record to drop on my mat so I never musically keep still. I have eclectic tastes so like to keep mixing it up at home. Mind you it doesn’t go very long before a Bridget St John album get’s pulled from the shelves - my desert island disc would still be ‘David Crosby – If I Could Only Remember My Name’ - 
it is as close to perfection an album can get.
