Podcasts & Mixes

On the 13.06 Coven got together with Transmission to put up an unforgetable dance, helping to revive the queer dance floors in Berlin. On that day the collective effort to connect many boomboxes to radio transmitors to stream the sets, plus the perfect location, made music and dancers meet to create a hot sweaty summer outdoor rave. 

Transmission began as a Covid-safe response in summer 2020 to club closures and continues to be a political, responsible, and sexy way to dance and meet. 

Coven was honoured to be playing 7+ hours of music for this wonderful polycentric queer gathering. And here is my contribution i made for that dream we had together.

Kisses, and hope to see all of you beutifull humans again soon!

Evinha - Esperar pra Ver (CIDO & Illanes Remix)

Um pouquinho de lisergia brasileira dos anos 60 pra comemorar o Dia da Bicicleta!

A música "Lindo Sonho Delirante", que é também conhecida como "LSD" foi originalmente lançada nos anos 1960 pelo cantor Fábio, e é considerada uma das músicas mais emblemáticas da psicodelia brasileira. 

Uma curiosidade é que a música foi lançada em 1968 e passou pela censura da ditadura militar sem problemas para chegar ao público, isso porque o LSD ainda estava fora do radar das autoridades brasileiras na época, com a 1a condenação acontecendo somente em 1970 como é retratada pelo historiador Júlio Delmanto.

O Dia da Bicicleta, 19/04. como é conhecido, é comemorado no mundo todo como o dia do 1o uso intencional de LSD por uma pessoa, Albert Hoffman.

Coven & Amigas - GIO - 17 Feb 2024

@gio_goltara (Giovani Goltara, he-him) has discovered that electronic dance music is where he feels most comfortable expressing himself. Ever since his early rave days, he's been drawn to electronic beats infused with Latin American rhythms. 

Digging through records from the 1990s, GIO uncovered a treasure of productions that appropriated diverse sonorities from the global south. 
Now, he's on a mission to bring these sounds back and re-appropriate them for queer dance events, particularly in Berlin, where he's been organizing parties since 2021. 

One of his standout events is Coven, which focuses on celebrating queer Latin American culture through music and dance.

Alias: Gio
Pronouns: He / Him
Location: Berlin
Collective: Coven
Labels: Tandera Records, U're Guay, Vigor
Name of the mix: 4&20 House
About the mix: ¡En Berlín, es hora de LEGALIZAR! ¡Ojalá pudiéramos conmemorar algo, pero aquí seguimos luchando contra el apoyo al genocidio!
El House juega un papel fundamental en mi vida, al igual que en la de muchas personas queer y migrantes. Junto con los afrodescendientes, los latinos han  fusionado raíces para crear el estilo musical que nos hace bailar hacen décadas. Mis primeras raves, yá a los 26 años, me hicieron sentir parte de una escena artística única. Como estudiante y profesor de historia del arte, me di cuenta de que era parte de una expresión artística que aún no se enseñaba en la universidad. Desde entonces, el House y el baile han sido mi mayor fascinación artística.
Para este mix, seleccioné vinilos y tracks recientes producidos por personas que comparten experiencias de vida similares a las mías. Seguro que muchos los compré mientras estaba bien colocado de marihuana. ¡Parece que yo y la hierba tenemos un bello gusto musical en común! Entonces ahí están 39 tracks que me hacen tripear :)

https://noizzed.bandcamp.com/track/caetano-veloso-gilberto-gil-haiti-noizzed-remix

Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil - Haiti (Noizzed Edit)

Edson Conceição - Filhos de Gandhi (Brasingles vol.3) 12"

A1 Edson Conceição - Filhos de Gandhi (Um Abraço em Gilberto Gil)

B1 Edson Conceição - Filhos de Gandhi (Um Abraço em Gilberto Gil) (Mike Burns Edit)

For the fifth release of Selva Discos, the label returns with another volume of the Brasingles series. It's another tried-and-tested dancefloor burner: Edson Conceição's "Filhos de Gandhi", a homage to the "Carnaval da Bahia", on its beatless original version and the drumtastic Mike Burns edit on the flip, featured on Selvagem's Boiler Room set.

This song is originally featured on Edson's album "Quem Tem Fé Não Sai" from 1977, which has been a very sought-after LP for the past 4 years, and its almost spoken-word nature tells the legend about the Filhos de Gandhy carnival group, one of the most traditional of Salvador (the capital of Bahia state), while an entrancing Afoxé vocal chant takes over the chorus.

A few years ago, Austrian DJ and digger Mike Burns did his own version of it, taking "Filhos de Gandhi" to a different level, adding to the original storytelling the power of drums, and it can take dancefloors to different levels as well with its uptempo and contagious rhythms, turning any party in a Carnival party.

"Filhos de Gandhi" marks the third volume of the BRASINGLES series, the Selva Discos' series dedicated to releasing loud 12" singles with the original song on the A side and a rework on the B side, to please both the DJ and the listener – the one that brought the Wolf Müller edit of Barbatuques' Baianá on vol. 2.

Released on vinyl (and digital) on July 5th 2019. Distributed by Kompakt.
