It's Wednesday - clothes are still damp and the body sore. But the memories will remain. Can't thank everyone enough who stayed with us in the pouring rain and danced danced danced! And the Fusion / Planet C / Seebühne Crews for making it happen.
What a fantastic night.

After hosting our new pals @hand-made down to London last month, they asked us to contribute a mix to their super wicked cool Hand-made with love series. 👨‍🚀👨‍🚀

Hand-made open up with an hour of unadulterated heat, before we pick things up and go straight for the party with some freshly ironed house digs. 💣

First hour - @hand-made ❤️

For our #35 and prepare for Winter, we are heading up North, to Finland to host 2/4 of the Helsinki based collective Free Shelter (@Freeshelter).
DJ Margerita (@dj-margerita) and Aake Kivalo (@aakekivalo), in charge of the groups youtube channel (among other things),  have dusted off some of their favorite recent findings for an action packed guest mix. With the world slowly opening up, it felt only right to deep dive into more... krhm... party centered selections. 
While properly welcoming them in Paris on the dancefloors, you can still listen to them at home in your comfy socks.

Downtempo Arabic & Turkish Tape Grooves with Rotational- 14/12/2022

As far as discovery goes, outposts are as essential as the means employed to explore or the tools used to navigate. Regardless of the scope of the undertaking, be it the world, the universe or the bountiful musical landscape across which this series sails, those are necessary stops that allow everyone to gather supplies for a trip, replenish energies for an ordeal, make friends for a lifetime or renew hope for a  journey. Thus, ports, stowaways, space stations fulfill a similar role. More than simple storage facilities or stopovers, they are meeting places where precious things are shared, from experiences to knowledge, and so are dancefloors. Tikal Floresta Bar is a great example: a lively space at the heart of Belo Horizonte where we see rhythms from all over and people of all origins colliding to generate the type of energetic fields of joy and dance that feed the nightlife of these vibrantly creative cities habouring them. Rache, our guest for this episode, is responsible for it and, as this mix makes abundantly clear, his managerial talents go beyond the trivial chores that make any enterprise function, they also include fostering and maintaining the vibe that makes any such spaces truly special.

Bon appetit!

BIO:
DJ and multi-hyphenate Black Truffle brings passion to music and the culinary arts. As a producer, vinyl collector and restaurateur, he sees parallels between finding rare tunes and unearthing truffles: for him, both food and music gain significance only when connected to a time and place.  Black Truffle has the magic touch for pairing distinct sounds with unique atmospheres - a creative alchemy that has led to the likes of Ashley Beedle, Kenny Dope, Gilles Peterson, Lipelis, Lay-Far, and Superbreak spinning his records. Apart from 3 EPs under GAMM, Black Truffle's edit was featured on 'Let's Dance Vol 2' EP on Funkyjaws (which sold out within weeks on cult-classic music site Juno), features a disco edit alongside legends like Eddie C, LTJ Xperience, and Frank Booker. 

Check out Black Truffle's other mixes on Dream Chimney (California), Bordello a Parigi (Amsterdam), Fauve Radio (Hong Kong) or his vinyl-only set at Montezuma Paris.
