Mixes 2

Balearic Afteroon 2020

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..

Genres are vague concepts and, as much as they seek to be precise about the creative richness they try to encapsulate, there is only so much a word or two can do in order to organise the chaotic nature of organised sonic forces. So is the case with  Highlife, a term that came to be attached to a myriad of realities. A universe of influences, musicalities, attitudes and worldviews wrapped into a vibrant musical format. But, in this case,  one of the most prolific porteño collectives to stir the colourful musical stew we have here in South America and serve wonderful dancing concoctions. Now valorously represented by Sandro, one of its most inventive members in this episode of Gop Cast, we learn that achieving such unique flavours as they do involves keeping temperatures high and ingredientes fresh.

Mix of the Week #357: Bogotá Soundsystem - El Ritmo Del Mar

Cooking With Palms Trax // NTS o9

"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
