Over an hour of beautifully blended electro leaning bliss, courtesy of drift catch. Perfect push and pull tempo on this one, as dreamy as it is tuff, and always super, super slick. Enjoy.

De Kat Memwa #54 w/ Bunzinelli

Track ID: @bunzinelli @chambrenoirerecords

As with every edition of De Kat Memwa, this one is special and eagerly awaited! This time, we are honoured to host the talented artist from Montreal - Bunzinelli!

Peter captured my attention around 5-6 years ago with his exquisite series of mixes, Chambre Noire, and the eponymous radio show on n10.as. In these, Peter and his guests explored a lunar palette of genres and unconventional dance music. This organically evolved into the Chambre Noire label with a unique agenda encompassing dub-not-dub, trance, post-punk, tribal, and everything in between.

A similar description can be applied to Peter's multifaceted solo project, where he delves into leftfield dance music infused with dub and percussive elements.

For De Kat Memwa, Peter has crafted a captivating one-hour mix featuring downer guitar spoken-word, psychedelic chuggers, ethereal downtempo CD-pop, frantic drum machines, otherworldly folk, and various other curiosities from beyond.

We are incredibly fortunate to have Bunzinelli's mix, especially considering he has been busy curating a series of mixes and managing his label in recent years, alongside working on his own music! I am thrilled he found the time to create a mix for De Kat Memwa!

He cooked for us a superb Disco Mix.
Enjoy.

" GIRLS ON FILM " GUEST MIX by PRIMA MUSICA ( Czech Republic )

In this edition of QC, we are thrilled to welcome the one and only Philipp Otterbach @philipp-otterbach , long-time record collector of all kinds of music, DJ and producer, who would approve his words. Back in the 2000s, he and his close friend Vladimir Ivkovic spearheaded some forward-looking dances in the Ruhr region of Germany, leading the way at the forefront. When the legendary Salon Des Amateurs club opened its doors in the Dusseldorf, Philipp was undeniably among its first resident DJs.

As for his musical productions, his discography spanning from releases on Knekelhuis, R.i.O, Music From Memory, to Offen showcases a diverse range of styles, from modern classical to ambient, industrial, and electronic, each imprinting his distinctive sonic signature. Listening to his set feels like delving into a vast museum like archive, where genres intertwine, swiftly transition, and surprise with their narrative twists.

He also enjoys acting like a social otter, spending time with his deer and feeding the squirrels.

Drone Time Podcast #036 | Deon Jamar

On the occasion of the launch of his album, "Altars", which kicks off the catalog of his newly founded record label, Black Music, we invited Deon Jamar to take part in our podcast series.

Deon is a Detroit native whose roots stem from the crates of family. Growing up hearing many different styles of music was the initial inspiration.

His career began in 2015 as resident DJ & organizer for the monthly hip-hop showcase Bluecollar Gentleman.
Around the same time, working with Theo Parrish to promote the Music Gallery party series and eventually spending years behind the scenes at Sound Signature. That work would culminate in a co-curation role for the DJ-Kicks compilation, "Detroit Forward", on !K7 Records, where he enlisted artists that represent the progressive sounds of today. His own track, "North End Funk", was selected to join the mix, making his production credit debut.

With over a decade of experience in Detroit's music community, Deon has been seasoned by the many worlds within. Ranging from the city's hip-hop scene to the world of underground dance music, and even serving as resident DJ for De'Sean Jones' Urban Art Orchestra, all of these worlds inform the musical range in his sets.

Inspired by everything from jazz, funk, & soul, to more modern black dance music forms like hip-hop/R&B, house, techno, & broken beat. His sets aim to employ elements from all these forms with culture in mind.

Aside from playing gigs, Deon also enjoys programming events of his own such as the Healin' Session party series and the art exhibit, concert, and party series, Black Music, from which the label.

Black Music was founded by Deon and Brian Oscar (Wrcklés). Inspired by the legacy of those before and the work of peers today, these events were made to honor the lineage while also demonstrating the golden cord that connects all of our music throughout genre and era.

Fusing these worlds together informs the DJ as well as the producer.

A radical objection to industry standards, leaning more into the energy and depth of sound.

Black Music, the label, will carry this same tradition.

Enjoy this mix he exclusively delivered for us. You won't be disappointed!

Drone Time Podcast #036 | Deon Jamar

I wanted to put together a playlist that encapsulated some of the feelings I (and maybe others) have been feeling these days. Hurt, Loss, Anger, and Confusion. I included tracks that spoke to me in these moments but also provided hope, because there's always a light at the end of the tunnel.  All vinyl recorded in 1 take w/ 2 technic 1200s & a Xone mixer.
