After 10 years, this is still one of my favourite mixes ever. Thank you Tako :)

wow man, Petros Malevris was a friend of mine... Such a special guy, a huge music lover, digger and a great friend. So happy to see him celebrated by his friends after all this time.

Stellar mix by Tako. I ve been steadily listening ever since Petros passing and i remember the news hit me hard when we got word. Always coming back to this, with the thought of Petros of course.

Eternal Love at Giant Steps

it's been a while... and we're back with a gentle bang a.k.a. a mix of the amazing Sanky @sankywashere!! 
Many of you will have had the pleasure to dive into his selections at other sites. Being a fan for a good while I dared to ask him for a mix and now we installed a window to his universe here at the bin too! As I always enjoyed the variety and finesse of his mixes I asked for his musical background and Sanky was so nice to share this with us: 
"My mother was a piano teacher and sometimes practiced with various classical musicians who were playing at city hall so the house almost always had strange, orchestral sounds emanating from the dusty front room. I can't play a note of piano as my hands don't seem to want to work together as 10 fingers but I can play some wind instruments and loved learning the trumpet, these strange organic sounds are something that I now realize feature heavily when out looking for records, weird sounds seem to mean as much as beautiful lyrics these days. I also think the varied pace of classical from Adagio all up to Presto might have influenced me more than I thought too. I've never really understood music in terms of bpm's but more on feeling. I'm 51 and I feel really lucky to grow up in a pre internet world on rare soul and jazz, boogie, soundtracks, samples and hip hop which provided another view of how incredibly different music really can be. Hearing Colin Curtis screaming down the mic at age 15 playing Margie Evans “Waterfalls” or watching David Mancuso drop “Whole Lotta Love” after Tamiko Jones “Can’t Live Without Your Love’ at 6pm in the afternoon and watch people lose their minds are things I feel truly lucky to have witnessed, genius at work for sure.
 
I just still look out for the oddness, especially on 7” as there is still so much undiscovered music there but also something that sounds familiar even when it’s not. I live in Mexico now and again due to what I hear day to day in the street (not just necessarily music) changes what I collect, the feeling of life here is softer and slower so this mix might have a piece of that in it. I hope you listen to the mix all the way through in a comfortable place you feel happy to be in. It has some of my most favorite records I play over and over…big love.

Let me know if you want to know what any of the tracks are and thanks to the main man Basso who’s been an inspiration for years. 

Cocktails on the beach for all…x

Dedicated to My Mother Kate. RIP."

THANKS SO MUCH SANKY!!!

Next up with magic mix number seventy nine is Danny Bodega @beaton-4

An aussie now based out of London he's runs Gazebo Records which has just reissued and pressed the great Fuemana – New Urban Polynesian album to vinyl for the first time. Go check it if you haven't already.
Elsewhere he's popped up with mixes on Skylab Radio, Under The Apricot Tree and Sanctuary and now he lands here with 'a dog's breakfast' - his own words  ;)

Far from that it's a crisp concoction of cruisers perfect for a sunny evening. Enjoy :)

Crown Ruler Mix #34 - Kejeblos

Here at CR HQ we’ve been long time listeners and admirers of Zurich based, Kejeblos and we’re gassed to have him join our ongoing mix series. 

Kejeblos is a man of big taste and big ears that leaps through sounds from all around the globe.

A protegé of Lexx and Alex Dallas from Club Zukunft and Drumpoet Community, Kejeblos belongs to that invincible circle of friends, whose members CCO, Wavetest and Late Invitation are doing the wickedest Chicago House in Liechtenstein, sorry, Switzerland.

Some little treats await you as you press play, with two newbie tunes… one from Palace Pasador’s forthcoming release on Phantom Island and the other from Lexx’s new LP about to drop on the label. 

Enjoy the dive!

Crown Ruler Mix #33 - Kejeblos

Back by popular demand: Tako's wonderful Holiday Mix!
Here's what I wrote 7 years ago:

I was about to post this beautiful summer mix of Tako with the following words:

"What do you expect from a mix when it's done by a supernice guy with an excellent taste in music and a wonderful record collection? Yeah and that's exactly what you get here. Also make sure to get a copy of the first 12" of the Sombrero Galaxy, released on Lovefingers long awaited ESP Institute. Sombrero Galaxy is the collabo between Tako and Jonny Nash and their "Journey to the center of the sun" is one of my favourite releases of the last years, cheers!"

That was yesterday. In the meantime something terrible happened. Tako's friend Petros Malevis from Athens passed away without a warning. This mix is dedicated to Petros! He will be missed. Rest in peace, Petros.

Bill Spencer lives in Detroit and his favorite bird is the Great Blue Heron.
Requests for track IDs should be directed @BILLSPENCER

Suck It Online is the online version of Suck It* with the major difference being that nothing is live because everything is recorded. This recording was made at the 2018 Honcho Summer Campout in Artemas, PA

*For the uninitiated, Suck It is a queer-oriented underground diskotheque slash electronic cabaret based in Detroit, where the people are warm, the drinks are cold, and the music is hot. We are currently on hiatus.

NO DEMOS PLEASE! 
growing bin records is a micro-label and online record store. With lots of love and affection we bring you music that is special to our ears. Well actually we're a one man business, but "we" sounds a bit more professional, or maybe even royal. Forget about that. We're small and not a bit royal and we'll stay small and loyal. Cheers!  If I should not react to your demo I probably didn't feel it, and I'm too shy to tell you.  Sorry but life is short and I don't release stuff that i feel 100%. Keep on keeping on! 
I am actually not releasing much at the moment as I am focussing on selling the thousands of used records in my studio. SO do me a favour and come over to the bin aka www.growingbinrecords.com and help me get rid of the black gold :)
