It's not music from Mali, it's Mbalak from Senegal.

Now, now, what have we here?

I've been sitting on this sonic petri-dish for a couple of months now, well, since these two cats sent it over to after they took it upon themselves to unearth this gargantuan 4 hr recording of sonic devolutions, in the terrain of The Gun ‘kosmische’ on a 'civilised' Wednesday night. Originally recorded with the intention of ft. on Josh's Netil Radio Show - only half recording was used  - so we get to premiere the full 4 hrs, phew. Lo and behold this sonic tapestry of an odd-ball-off, laden w glistening electronics + scuzzed out nosebleed between two honorary family members. Cast aside any scepticism you might be holding about how long your attention span can last. This stands tall.

Glossycast #17 Senda Fatal live at BBK

Name a more iconic Iberian duo. Wait, name a more iconic siblings duo. But are they really brothers? Who cares when you just encounter two maestros of the Spanish scene: Dos Hermanos. Consisted of Lier & Texture, a mighty Galician-Andalusi connection in charge of one of the most explosive collectives and parties: Ego-Trip. Truly diggers and top record spinners, an honor to host them on our mix series. 

This podcast was recorded live at festival Jaleo Real last summer (2023), an idyllic retreat in Ávila, and it goes without saying that it was in our humble opinion one of the top sets, on a carefully selected trip all the way from funk, balearic, world, hip-hop to the roots of house.

If you sit down, you better shake it.

Gracias hermanos, seda es poco.

House is a feeling. House is a house. House is OG Juan. 
Vinyl only 2-hour set to the deep corners of classic house goooo!

Founder of the mighty party and event organizer Tombolo, beloved Madrid local hero OG Juan is a one to follow (not in the social media way, tho). He has been promoting and working the club scene for more than 10 years. Programmer and curator of different projects, he started setting up raves and underground events in 2012, right when some of us were learning how to spin. He has brought more than 200 international artists from all kinds of music genres throughout his career including Mezerg, Orlando Julius, Fatima, Yussef Dayes, or Egyptian Lover.

For this set, he has prepared a banger after banger vibe with all shorts of roots within house with a deep feel for the classics. Pretty much what you expect to hear on one of his atomic sets.

Thank you Juan for the support y la paciencia.

We are a local record label based in Madrid, born in 2019.

The label name comes from the mistakes unveiling the extraordinary. Our first release from Om Buschman was possible due to the finding of hundreds of original copies with matte covers in a warehouse. Those never got distributed because of the printing error, therefore Glossy Mistakes.
