Mixes/DJ Sets

For the 7th instalment in the Graded Podcast series we have @the_elvin_t in the mix. Responsible for the final ReGraded "Get Close/Pressure of Desire", a record that has already gained support across the spectrum and been described as "a work of art" by the wonderful Annie Mac, when she debuted it on Radio 1 last month. 

But what's this? He is also a very killer dj. Skills he has honed in his native Philly at parties like Rizumu, Soul Pickle, Love Is Easy, Sanctuary City, as well as DJ residency at The Trestle Inn.  Clocking in just over the 4 hour mark, he has delved fathoms deep in to his collection. This mix has it all, and then some, and then maybe a bit more...

Put your out of office ON, pour yourself a refreshing beverage and settle in for 4 hours of the man Elvin T.

Rancho Deluxe w/ Michael The Lion & Elvin T - 09Nov2023

Marissa Mele is back with Westov Temple, in the mix for a globetrotting showcase of the sounds that brought their paths together. 

Westov Temple is the production and DJ alias of Justin Gibbon, Founder and Creative Director of Great Circles – a Philadelphia-based music platform that includes a record label, online radio station, record shop, and live events. As a DJ and radio host as well as a lifelong musician,  Justin’s selections reflect his continuous exploration of sounds ranging from the universal and emotionally engaging to the most unusual and experimental.

"Marissa and I met in 2021 and connected over a shared passion for new and archival recordings emerging from Africa, Asia, South America and beyond. Knowing that Marissa and I are often listening to a lot of the same music in that realm - and because my mixes and radio shows are typically more instrumental - I decided to wander in a different direction, and I've selected records that all incorporate vocals in some way. Most of the selections are from the past year or so, and many of them are among my favorite records of 2023. There’s a reflective, wintery mood here, as this mix was recorded as the sun faded on New Year’s Eve - though it’s not without its lighter moments, including an optimistic celebration of the arrival of spring."

CLUBCAST 033 Elvin T GUEST MIX 10/8/19

Philadelphia's own Elvin T has taken an initial request for a mix and interview and put a spin on it to pay homage to all of the Black artists from this country who have influenced music at all levels; from spoken word to house, disco and beyond.

A statement by the artist:  "I wanted to make a mix celebrating poetry told by folks about anything and everything - love and loss, mystery and excitement. Perhaps this could be thought of as a poem composed of others' poetry. Most importantly I wanted the authors or at least contributors to be American, I just felt like more people needed to hear an American Poem."
