Josh Rauch - April Mix 2021

Michelle Owen has quietly carved out a life in and around electronic music for over 10 years (I think). It’s a career that has shimmied its way through every corner of the industry and indeed the lifestyle that is so quintessentially part of the music industry package. Over the years she’s started her own label, worked for other labels, she’s blogged about it, she’s blagged it, she’s produced it, she’s mixed it and she’s more often played it. She’s always been a busy little thing. And all along, she has remained one of the sweetest woman in music you would ever want to meet. 

Having recently returned to Sydney after many years in Berlin, she’s been kind enough to put together a mix inspired by the imminent summer months that have inevitably lured her back home. Pull up a banana lounge, grab a pimms & lemonade, sit back and enjoy the sunshine.

Finally, after a well earned xmas hiatus, Messina Music is back with a new and exclusive mix from a true gentleman of the music world. This one's from that man about town and all round nice guy - Mo'Funk. A little bit of funk, a dash of R&B and just a sprinkle of mushroom-jazzy-downbeat sweetness, this is killer. 

Sydney-bred DJ Mo’funk isn’t just a veteran of the Australian dance music scene, but now an annual fixture on the biggest clubbing playground of them all – the Spanish party isle of Ibiza. Since first venturing there with his record crate as a virtual unknown in 2007, Mo’s racked up sets at too many of the island’s hotspots to name. His 2012 tour of duty saw him hold down residencies at Pacha, Ocean Beach Club, and the legendary Space, where he regularly stepped up to the plate for their We Love… and Carl Cox club nights. 

He's back for the Sydney summer and felt it only right that he lay down a mix for our music lovin' gelatoheads! 
Real Music, Real Skills and a Uniqueness that no one can duplicate. He got da Funk!

Enjoy!

MM05 - Mo'funk & Sergio Selim - Ice Cream Dreams (The Messina Mixtape)

There’s been a lot of talk recently regarding the lost art of DJ’ing. I’m sad to say, we tend to agree.
DJ’s carry entire record collections around on a USB (as low res MP3’s to boot), they have software that does the beat-matching for them, they tweak and twist imaginary knobs as they prance around like show ponies, and it seems standard promo shots are best done in a bikini these days. Luckily, there are still good folk like Jamie Palmer who must rely entirely on their well honed skills as a fussy selector, because quite frankly, he looks appalling in a bikini.

Jamie’s never really been a career DJ, but he’s what we call a proper DJ. He buys vinyl, selects them in a manner akin to panning for gold, he mixes them on turntables and thankfully every now and then, he records the result.He buys tunes that you'll want to listen to time and time again. Records that get better with age, rather than fatigue with every revolution of the player. It's music that has longevity, music thats beautiful and music that makes your tummy churn with nervous excitement.

Mixed almost entirely off 'vinyl only' releases and meticulously manicured with love, its an understatement to say we are super chuffed to be putting this exclusive mix up for you all to enjoy. 

It took about 4 months to compile, 2 months to mix and about 3 months for me to post it online. Standard gestational period for a fully formed auditory baby of this quality!

We call it deep house music. He calls it dancing music. We tend to agree.

Business As Usual December 2019: Luke Solomon + Special Guest Eats Everything

Pocket has long been our friend and somewhat of an electronic guru for us here at Messina. Having been a stalwart of the electronic music scene in Australia for years, he's now residing in downtown LA and has recently become a self styled musical iso-shaman. His cosmic influence has been guiding many of us through these uncertain times as the penultimate vinyl selector known as 'Copernicus Sunjay'. With his urban disco therapy sessions and accompanying guided vibrational tuition (streamed live from his home in LA), its fair to say the planet is a better place with this man in it. He’s very kindly delivered the next mix in the Messina Music series and we think youse are gunna love it..

MM014 - Pocket's Chocovid Chip Mix

This is a mix I must have made somewhere mid 90ies and were already classics back then (tape is called De Mijnes Classics II). Most of the tracks are still tracks that I like, which is not always the case with old mixes. Influenced by my time in iT Amsterdam mostly these vocal tracks were the tracks that coloured my nights and shaped my musical memories
