Gouranga Mixtapes

GOURANGA MIXTAPES

For over 10 years years we at Gouranga have been treating your ears to secret bootlegs, edits, premiere's and most recently Live DJ recordings. 

Through partying, hosting our own events and endlessly exploring different musical genres we have experienced many good times and made many wonderful friends.

This mixtape series is a way for us to give back to our loyal SoundCloud community. For this we will be commissioning theme-specific musical journeys from some of our favourite producers, collaborators and good friends

To commence our Mixtape series, we asked our friend and producer extraordinaire Leo Zero to create something unique for Gouranga. 

Having made no less than 4 remixes for Bryan Ferry's Avonmore album, Leo has produced this hypnotic hour-long Mixtape that takes you through no less than 19 tracks from the Roxy Music icon.

Leo Zero January 2017:

"When you receive the studio masters for a Bryan Ferry remix it's like opening a treasure chest... with legendary session musicians and collaborators in the brew - from Nile Rogers on guitar to soul divas on backing vox - you can hear how the other remixers on this project had as much fun with the source material as i did. Putting them all together in a dj mix was a great challenge...   but i'm very pleased with this hour of ambient / funky / chaotic / abstract remix moments from the Avonmore album remix project. Massive thanks to @Isaacferry for being such a dedicated curator and A&R on it all. And thanks Gouranga for the opportunity and to Adrian Darby for management.

BILL BREWSTER presents Electric Eighties
@billbrewster

"When disco crashed and the recording industry rejected dance music in the United States, the party didn’t stop, it just moved to a cheaper neighbourhood. The drummers mostly got laid off, the big recording studios started to close and the sound of disco changed completely. No more string sections, no big budgets. In its place came the sound that pre-dated house music: electronic disco (in Europe, a lot of it got another new name: Italo-disco). This mix is the sound of those records. All but two were made in north America, the others in the UK. It’s what happened when soul and disco met synthesisers and drum machines and it still sounds great today. Enjoy."

Classic Record Company boss, Freaks member and Defected A&R @lukesolomon gives an exclusive Prince tribute for our latest mixtape. We'll let him tell you about it in his own words:

"The day Prince died was the strangest thing.
David Bowie dying hit me in an unusual way. I had always looked up to him as a chameleon artist. Someone who’s approach to music, I found fascinating.
Mutating through generous and re-invention. I felt incredibly grief stricken, which didn’t sit well with me. Especially having been accustomed to personal grief from a very early age.
Why was I so sad about someone dying that I didn’t really know, that was odd. What I soon realised was that this was more about my fear of getting old and facing that reality.
My kids were confused and asked my questions, “Dad, why are you so sad about Bowie.”  I couldn’t really give them an honest answer but it lead to a greater question from them.
Which artists death would upset you more? Kids, straight to the point. We all said Prince at the same time and laughed.Like that was going to happen.

The day Prince died and went in to my studio and started to pull out everything I owned. From the age of 13 I was a convert. Beyond fanatical. Collected, bought, watched. I was a fully fledged member of the NPG website even. It felt different. I refused to believe he was dead and it helped my deal with it. I still do.
I started to digitise my entire collection. I wanted to put everything in one place and share it with my friends. It felt cathartic.
I had texts from friends who knew what an impact he has had on my life, and for a few days I felt like some kind of gate keeper, as I am sure many other fans did.
Being a Prince fan always felt like you were in some kind of Purple gang. 

The same week a friend asked me to play a tribute party at Dalston Superstore and I naturally agreed. I played and recorded the night. I’m pretty sure most people were there to hear Purple Rain - but to me, there was always another side. The result was a collection of my personal favourites, overdubbed with loops from different singles , edits that I have done over the years, and interviews I collected."

We asked The Reflex a while back if he would consider making a bespoke mixtape for us. At the time he mentioned he was considering a psy-rock theme...we had no idea that this mixtape would coincide with his own 'Rock Edition' release, which has now been released. A fantastic mixtape from a modern day legend...three cheers for The Reflex!

Dicky Trisco – Brasilian Beats Mix

Big thanks to Gouranga for asking me to do this special mix. They asked for a themed mix. So I decided to do a blend of Brasilian Beats as I realised that I had been learning about the wonderful music of Brasil over the last five years by playing at events and festivals there, in particular at the amazing Mareh festival in Bahia.  Along the road I have met many wonderful people, visited some stunning places, had a lot of good times and made some lasting friendships. There have also been a few hangovers too I must admit. This mix is about them and dedicated to them all.

Now first thing I have to confess is that I am no expert on Brasilian music. This is the story of a learner’s journey into the music and the people who have influenced and guided me. For me music is all about people and relationships. People are what brings music into your life, brings it alive and gives it significance. I could say that in my life music has meant people, and people has meant music. 

I have had many amazing guides on my journey into Brasilian music and the influences of all those people are scattered throughout this mix – people like Joutro Mundo; Selvagem; Ray Mang; Eddie C; Balako; JKriv; Pete Herbert; Guga Roselli; Joakim; Carrot Green and not forgetting the amazing collector Undomundo from Istanbul who sent me my first bundle of Brasilian music way back then. I am proud to call of these people my friends as well as my guides (especially on dark nights).

Most of these people have also contributed in one way or another to the Barefoot Beats label, which has been all about spreading the word about great Brasilian music through DJ-orientated reworks. In fact, many of those reworks are at the heart of this mix.

Throughout the whole process of gathering the music and mixing it together on the decks in my studio, I was filled with joy and memories – drinking whisky and listening to new music in the heat of the day in Bahia, searching for records on stalls in Downtown Rio, playing on boat parties in Boipeba and on rooftops in Sao Paulo and the thrill of playing to 3000 people in a warehouse in the port of Rio. All music lovers need to keep refreshing their approach and keeping the buzz alive. I got my buzz in Brasil!

I hope you enjoy the journey and the music. I know I have loved finding it and putting it together. And please dig deeper into the music of Brasil, the country and its fantastic people. You will be rewarded with similar memories, friendships and good times.

And massive thanks to Gouranga for hosting the mix and encouraging me to pull it all together. 

OBRIGADO X

A country synonymous with good living (Au Bonheur des dames, Yves Simon), Avant-garde (Jean-Jacques Perrey) and multicultural (Francis Bebey, Vaudou Game or Forever Pavot).  

A language that crosses borders (Plastic Bertrand, Jeanette), and a place where protest and free speech are alive and well (Pierre Vassilliu, Serge Gainsbourg).  

Above all else, France is a country where love is the most talked about topic of conversation (everyone else…).

This is France, and there is so much more…..  Vive la France!"

GOURANGA MIXTAPE: Discothèque Fantastique's French Nuggets

GREG WILSON presents The Chic Organization – 1977-79 Selection Reworked
 
Greg writes about the mix and all things Chic at his blog:
http://blog.gregwilson.co.uk/2018/06/the-chic-organization-1977-79-selection-reworked/
 
Chic had a sound of all their own, the crack rhythm section of Nile Rodgers (guitar), Bernard Edwards (bass) and drummer Tony Thompson providing the highly infectious grooves that characterised their records. They would be massively influential as a consequence, their anthemic tracks still loved all these years later, with a new younger generation embracing their good time vibe in the same way their parents might have.
 
The mix consists of 12 edits / reworks of 9 Rogers & Edwards produced tracks, all of which happened to be originally recorded during 1977-79, the years which saw Disco peak and decline, with Chic at the helm during those halcyon days, their own recordings providing 4 US top 10 singles, including a pair of #1s, whilst Sister Sledge, whose success they mentored, weighed in via the hit-laden ‘We Are Family’ LP. They even found time for a French excursion via Sheila & B Devotion’s ‘Spacer’.

Brooklyn based Edit guru, top DJ, multi-instrumentalist, and label-owner @jkriv has recorded something really special....

"2018 was a turning point in my 20-year love affair with Brasilian music, starting with the release of my reworks compilation Férias ’77 on Razor-N-Tape, and culminating in my recent trip to the Mareh Festival. Aside from being one of the gig highlights of my career - on a boat full of joyful dancers - the whole experience really deepened my feeling for the unique culture and music of Brasil. I came home buzzing, and ran this mix off in one shot without much planning, using some vinyl, some digital, some edits, and some originals. I hope that joy comes through in the music!"

GOURANGA MIXTAPE: JKriv’s Depois de Mareh

Our mixtapes are based on original vinyl records and we seek to present unheard or forgotten music to the world every time we bring out a new mix. And so it often takes time for everything to fall into the right place. We approached Gouranga a while back and are happy now to be presenting this special mix on their channel. We sincerely hope you enjoy this joint and drop a comment below!

What glues this mix together is a string of songs connected to capoeira, samba and afro-brazilian music. And the lovely sound of the berimbau. Some real gems are uncovered here - as the slow, promotion seven-inch Zaira song “Das Aldeias” or the heavy groove private label track Negro de Angola by Roberto Gomes. The inspiration to this mix grew out of a very special DJ gig for friends at the Capoeira Malungos 10 year anniversary in Copenhagen. A dance floor so open and full of energy that the records were almost crawling out of the DJ bag begging to be played.

Starting and ending slow, this is a dance floor mix for deep music lovers. But we recommend horizontally positioned enjoyment as well. Uplifting samba jazz tracks with a long cut-back session of the 2 minute Grupo Zurana tune breaks out in the middle and the last track slows down to present zoomed out Brazilian freak funk on the amazing Walter Franco track “Partir do Alto” where Walter chants throughout the song: I was taught by my Master. Indeed he was!

Dona Carla and DJ Quaseleiro aka EVFB.

BRAZIL SPECIAL CHILL MIX

GOURANGA MIXTAPE: Epic Vinyls from Brazil - Capoeira, chill and dance mix

The Funk-feeling is clearly the inspiration behind this mixtape in exclusive for Gouranga. Here’s a collection of instrumental funk and disco cuts including some new stuff like my forthcoming track "Pluck" on Prins Thomas imprint, Internasjonal Records, and a carefully crafted songs selection riding on emotive 80's analogue bass lines & slapping Funky grooves, finding their deepness in melodies and creating an atmospheric feel, Enjoy!!

GOURANGA MIXTAPE: Ivan Fabra - Future Funk

@moscowmartin

This mix is a short introduction to some old favourites from my ever-swelling African Music archive. This one kicks off with a Libyan disco jam before heading South for a couple of rock tracks. Most notably South Africa for Letta Mbulu, showing off her incredible vocal range on 'Mahlalela', a track produced by the legendary trumpeter and producer Hugh Masakela (R.I.P). From there it's a short stop into some Ghanaian Hi-Life, including Pat Thomas, 'The Golden Voice of Africa' with 'Enye Woa'. Later in the mix there's a bit of exploration into the Nigerian Funk & Disco scene - that era in Lagos was bottomless-pit of heavy dancefloor-fillers and outrageous creativity. A personal favourite is 'Wake Up Your Mind' by Joni Haastrup, a rallying-cry for Black empowerment and a true African Anthem. Happy Listening.

Geoff Kirkwood is a man with many faces. Techno producer 'Man Power' .... label boss of Me Me Me....touring DJ....soundscape composer 'Bed Wetter' and now Artist in Residence at the Sage Gateshead. https://sagegateshead.com/artist-development/artists-in-residence/ 

To celebrate this new accolade we asked Mr Kirkwood to record something different for our mixtape series...

"i've spent most of my time on my own during Lockdown.
This has pushed me into some deep contemplation at times, and that contemplation has most frequently been about my relationship with music.

If you consider that music is both the way i make my living and also the main way that I project myself to the world, then you'll probably agree it's a pretty natural thing for me to think about.

What I discovered was that I'd become unhappy with a lot of the things I was choosing to do

This revelation made me decide to reapproach what I do with my time, what I give value to, and what I choose to tell people is significant.

The most immediate change is that I now find myself working as an artist in Residence for Sage Gateshead, which is one of the most important Concert Venues in the UK.

Over the next 10 months the Sage is supporting me in making a performance piece which will push me as a music maker and conceptual artist, and which will allow me to explore another thing that I find very important, that is to say the notion of my regional identity and the things that I can do that use my skills and experience to make the region a better place to live.

Further to that I've found the time to work on other less immediately obvious projects which resonate more deeply with me.

I've finished an album with the Vocalist and songwriter "Marske" which will be out before the end of the year, and (despite some crazy curveballs) I'm making headway on my multi-vocalist album project as "Antisocial Alliance".

I'm also committed to launching a not-for-profit organisation very soon which will use the music I've dedicated my life to in a way that helps underprivileged or marginalised people in the North East of England.
The nicest thing I've found about all of this is that it's got me back to simply engaging with music because it pleases me, not because I need to pay the bills or because I feel like I need to use it to climb up some kind of imaginary pecking order.

All of these changes have meant that I get to record mixes like this one. 
Free from anyone else's opinion and for no other reason the fact that I wanted to record it.

I'm not saying it's the end for me as a DJ or House Music producer, as that's something I think is in my bones.
I think I am saying that I'll be doing it a lot more selectively now and that if you ever catch me doing either in future then you can be sure that the only reason I'm doing it is because I completely believe in what it is I'm doing at the time.

It was a great job, but I really needed to go back to doing it for the love instead"

What is Rebetiko [Ρεμπέτικο]?
Rebetiko grew out of the music of the displaced Greeks of Asia Minor, who thrived in the poor and struggling neighbourhoods of Piraeus, a port city in the region of Attica (now Athens). This new music genre was born as a form of artistic expression for the Lumpenproletariat of post-war Greece in the first part of the 20th Century.

The roots of the genre originate in Asia Minor (with Smyrna as the main focus point). In his book “The History of Rebetiko”, Nikos Sideris states: “Rebetiko was born in Asia Minor. Rebetiko with bouzouki was born in Piraeus”.

Stevie R is a London-based producer at the top of his game...
He continues to push these creative boundaries through his output, collaborations and his labels, Inside Out Records, of which he is the founder, and on Chapter 24, for whom he does A&R. The latter imprint released his last mini album, a two-part release that features collaborations with Parisinos and Anna Maria X, both of which further explore the signature Rebetronica sound that he's coined.
