Sharing can be deemed as the quintessential human action, since some of the most delightful things in our lives can simply be made better when we perform this fundamental gesture. Be it mild altering substances, knowledge, orgasms or the one that gives a reason to be here periodically: music, the best qualities of all of these elements are enhanced when enjoyed with someone else. DJing in itself is a radical act in which the person at the controls shares their taste and warmth in order to take us all on their journey. We share space and time, energy and feelings, to conjure these magical moments on the dancefloor. So, when we have a duo operating these factors, chances are that they will all be intensified and diversified at a similar level. Sharing a creative platform is more about complicity than synchronicity, but when the compatibility is just precise, all risks are divided and the results multiplied as our current guests show very well across their multifarious presence on both the booth and the studio. From blinding mixes such as the one that crowns this episode to stellar releases on storied labels worldwide, everything to which Rhode & Brown have devoted their passion and converged their visions proves not only that two minds might think better than one, but two hearts can reach wider and deeper when beating at a similar pace.

Platforms such as this one thrive because the elements that make it possible defy all kinds of distances. Apart from what the internet itself has allowed us to cover in that regard over the past decades, the music we feature helps us cover the vastness of many geographic territories and a variety of demographic generations. In the end, what is really important here is the confluence it might facilitate than any influence it could disseminate among both artists and audience. It is a meeting point of tastes as much as it is a melting pot of desires, where sensorial stimulation and cultural circulation happen at the same level and intensity allowing for spectacular things to happen at each episode. And this one is no exception, a delightful trip through exquisite rhythmic patterns and exciting harmonic structures helmed by one of the most gifted talents hailing from the fertile dancefloors found in the Brasilian South. A likeminded artist and kindred spirit, Kika not only fits perfectly in the colourful family of worldwide selectors congregated in this place by their stellar contributions, but elevates it with her strong sensibility and delicate dexterity.

Sometimes we happen to take some of the fundamental aspects that guide our main mission for which this platform is a crucial resource for granted, even if we never underestimate their place in what makes it something singular amid the multitude of similar content that can be found online. Take eclecticism for example, a quintessential characteristic of every single contribution to the series and an overall quality that is pursued by each of the guests we have in the construction of their deeply personal musical narratives. Not a mean feat, if we take into account the sheer diversity of rhythmic patterns and harmonic structures involved that need to be concatenated cohesively or, at the very least, sequenced harmoniously to be able to engulf us in its motional thrust and emotional pull. The greatness of all the mixes featured in this collection lies in the fact that they rely mostly on both a delicate play of moods and an intricate balance of forces, managing to harness their energy and use it towards stimulating our bodies, exciting our senses, enticing our minds and warming our hearts in the process. This episode is no exception, quite the opposite, as Lago brings his singular selective sensibility and elegant use of skills to weave an enthralling thread of gliding grooves that intertwine with alluring melodies from all over the globe.

As far as metaphors go, calling this platform a port of sorts wouldn't be much of a stretch. Both offer a meeting place for people from all over, a replenishing stop before long journeys and a space for many activities yearned by most human beings: mixture of passions, crisscrossing of cultures, exchange of wealth, nurturing of debauchery and many others. Take Salvador, for instance, first Brazilian capital and one of its main posts for some of the vilest trade ever performed by mankind. But, at the same time and for that very reason, the stronghold of the country’s African traditions, which is why what was created there became one of the richest musical environments on the planet. A pristine example of how our creativity can turn pain into something universally understood that can be widely enjoyed and thoroughly appreciated. Such a powerful transmutational dynamic has been reproduced at a smaller scale in every dancefloor and across radio waves on this side of the Atlantic for the best part of the past century. The same alchemy that we strive to reiterate, not merely replicate at every episode, especially when we have a gifted guest hailing from that harbour of historical heritages. Ubunto is not just one of its finest artists, but a sagacious selector whose hectic and eclectic mixes are endless sources of danceable energy and aural delight.

These texts are meant to be a sort of introduction as much as they serve as a kind of statement of intentions, from the hosts and guests alike: a nice prelude to the musical message the latter aims at conveying as much as the former means to disseminate. Given the source material, there is a recurrence of themes and terms, something whoever follows this platform might have noticed long ago. We constantly praise guests for being prolific, we often mention abundance, we frequently talk of wealth and richness, and so on. But what lies behind these concepts is an idea that becomes fundamentally obvious whenever we remember the fact that we are talking about culture and especially when we realise that we do it through one of its most fertile forms. So, when we welcome an artist that fully personifies all of these principles, from moniker to musicality, it is inevitable to see it as an augur of sorts. Ceres Yo embodies all of the above, adding prowess and eclecticism to the mix, as she does to this one gracing our series in this episode and everything else she’s involved with. Here we are offered an odyssey across a rhythmic itinerary as varied as it is enthralling.

After nearly a decade since throwing down what was then a guilty pleasure mix with Dance 懐かしい which was a blatant J-Boogie and Disco party starter I did in 2008/09, I thought it high time to drop another Japanese only mix. 

At the time I considered that mix to be a "guilty pleasure" as nobody was playing Japanese pop music around the time and let's face it if you discount the esoteric new-wave stuff most of this music is mainline pop music so can be an acquired taste in a sea of cool. Also, Japanese music wasn't really played locally in Tokyo as far as I can remember back in 2000 to 2010. Which for a gaijin (foreigner) peering in to this vast catalogue added to the guilty nature of diving in and really digging this stuff. The exception would have to be Zecky who turned the whole world on to the likes of Takanaka Masayoshi of course and wore his heart on his sleeve with his selections. 

Anyway that was 2009, it's eight years on and Japanese music, at least the popular top boogie bits or obvious names have all been dug out, compiled and edited. Japan got hot these past years. The guilt has subsided, but the pleasure clearly still remains.

There's really nothing rare here. A mix of 1972 to 2013, soul, pop, songs and beats for the city. These are all fairly cheap digs (with the exception of one $200 record - total madness!!). All are tunes that have rarely surfaced on mixes or comps, but they're personal digs so I will stick my neck out for them. They follow no trend, there's no oneupmanship here in having expensive records and this isn't a "hot list", that's not how it works. It's simply an attempt by me to say I love this stuff..

Trujillo has been a household name for anyone barely interested in the Transatlantic musical trade for the past decade. Hailing from the gorgeous region of Merida, he has brought his profound knowledge of the musical arcanes of Venezuela to Germany and beyond while establishing himself as one of the main promoters of its homeland's rich tonal heritage. Here he presents the kind of patchwork of rhythmic patterns for which he's renowned, sewn with the elegance that became his trademark and cast off with the ability of someone who became a master of his craft for a while now.

A1. Matisa - Gabardine
A2. Polito - Wallis Axiom
B1. Physical Therapy - 10000% Pure Love
B2. Yuzo Iwata - Acid House
B3. Serpent - In The Grass

Welcoming, 'Come Together' - a five track various artists EP drawn from our network of associates locally and internationally. With artists hailing from Japan, Italy, the USA and Australia the 12" features the sounds that bring our families together on dance floors around the globe.

Italy's Matisa opens the record with a designer italo-house trip "Garbadine", armed with punchy drums, a warped guitar loop and hypnotic bass line. Melbourne group Polito's "Wallis Axiom" juxtaposes this with a guttural, gurgling outsider-techno piece. Frenetic percs and crunchy distortion collide with alien FX and bleepy modular synthesis for a dark journey.

On the flip, New York City master producer Physical Therapy jumps into the deep end with "10000% Pure Love", a raw, hard hitting club weapon. The Allergy Season boss distils the pure, unbridled energy of a sweaty dance floor through a woozy bassline and manic cowbell action.

Slowing the pace slightly, Berlin via Japan producer Yuzo Iwata delivers "Acid House" a rugged, growling beast which trips and chugs along as a monstrous 303 weaves in an out of the penetrating vocals "ACID HOUSE". The mysterious Serpent finishes you off with "In The Garden" a syncopated drum workout imbued with a ritualist, primitive energy by the heavily layered percussion and flickering synths.

No Bad Days with Hollick & Gabriel Szatan - February 2020

Welcome to Tam Tam Land. No Bad Days returns after a spell in hibernation, looking to Seoul for NBD007: a debut record from the city’s exciting new talent, @closetyi.

Opening with ‘Honeymoon Junction’, we are greeted by the signature floaty yet punchy sound that typifies the mantra of No Bad Days; but around the halfway mark, an abrupt eeriness ambience washes over the track, letting you know this isn’t going to be necessarily the cheery cruise you expected. ‘Circle Dance’ is next on the A side which is more of a club-focused track in structure, though accented with Closet Yi. Birds chirp and a soft Korean intonation drifts in and out of the mix, luring us deeper into the depths of the island.

Hopping over to the B side we arrive at the climax of ‘Tam Tam Land’ with the thumping excess of ‘Basalt (玄武岩)’. Closet Yi flexes her skills in producing a peak time acid-tropische-prog-banger to stand up with the greats, filling the entire flip side. It brings to a close the whistlestop tour of her world, real and imagined. It also begins the first of many No Bad Days releases to come in 2020.

Closet Yi - Basalt (玄武岩)

Set que acredito refletir a variedade de emoções que tenho sentido nesses dias incertos e inquietantes. Que sejam dias de aprendizado e de grandes mudanças tao necessárias...

I guess this set reflects the emotional variety I have felt during these uncertain and intriguing days. Let these be learning days and full of so needed changes...

It's been a while since we last featured one of our own here, which can be explained by our commitment to the mission of showcasing as much talent from as many places as there are in the globe, especially when we are talking about the universe of aural pleasures that gives us our meaning. And, surprisingly enough, here we bring one that hasn't contributed to the series yet, something curious, giving his eagerness to jump behind the decks every chance he gets. Gui Scott is a more than an avid collector of records and skilled selector of tracks, he as gem gatherer and sensorial hunter who devotes his passion and expertise to the highest of purposes: the art of moving butts… and feet as well as hips. Right what we need in such times when we have to be kept physically apart, because there's nothing like music to make us come together, now and ever.

"I think I unwittingly settled on a 'theatrical' theme with this one. The mix spans many genres, per usual, but I think each track has its own element of drama/theatrics which becomes glaringly obvious towards the end. Should be enjoyable in various settings - alone, in company, doing nothing, having drinks or driving around..." - @suzannekraft
