NTS Doing Time w/ Sara Mautone

Faking Jazz Together 🎷

For us, Norm is the ultimate definition of a selector, and many in the community will agree. Needless to say, we were incredibly excited when he joined TNP as a resident. His new show “Faking Jazz Together” is an excellent addition to his other projects, which include(d) Memorabilia, Bayetë and Native Dance.

Norm’s ability to unearth the warmest, sweetest and deepest sounds is unprecedented. The first installment of his residency stole our hearts: a jaw dropping, incredible selection of lush music that we didn’t know we needed to hear. We recommend you to listen to this one eyes closed, shoes off, laying in the sun. 

Words from Norm: “This opening Faking Jazz Together show connects the dots between songs cleverly juggling with chords voicing and offbeat progressions. Spanning from major studios productions, One-Hit-Wonders and confidential amateur acts, these titles share a charming perspective of these codes while treasuring a genuine song writing. 

This is my fantasized outtake of what could have been a local fusion jazz program back then. It features biting AOR, hazy Chanson, fierce Boogie, Japanese Bossa impersonation and wistful Italian score.”

↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH CAMILLE ↓ ↓ ↓

Q: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

Thank you for inviting me ! This mix is 100% vinyl. I prepared it going through the records I bought last year, which involve some news and reissues as well as some older stuff I found at flea markets. Once I got a direction, I dug in my record collection to excavate records that fit in which I’d never used in previous mixes, and then tried to make sense out of it all. Somehow once a mix is recorded, I always discover links between tracks that I hadn’t noticed before and tell myself a story. The result is a mix of easy listening, synthpop, library music and balearic boogie.

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

Indeed, the Daniele Patucchi soundtrack of Turbo Time, which had been in my wantlist for almost a decade. Last summer I went to visit Florence in Italy, mainly to see its monuments and art legacy, but on the last day of my trip I decided to check out the Mercato delle Pulci, with no expectations whatsoever. After going through records for a few minutes, there it was, in perfect condition, waiting for me. It’s not a crazy story but one of those unexpected and effortless digging moments that stays with me after.

Q: How do you dig for new music, and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in Music? 

I don’t have one particular way of digging, I just keep my eyes and ears open. Right now the social networks play a big part in bringing music to my ears, whether it’s groups, people I follow or friends, especially when it comes to new releases or reissues. But my preference still goes to physical digging, in record shops or at flea markets. It means spending a lot of time on the field but it usually pays off and it’s a priceless feeling. In music, I guess I’m looking for something that makes me feel alive. Sometimes it’s a beat that makes me want to dance, sometimes an emotion through lyrics or a melody. I like to be surprised too.

Q: One record you will never let go, and one that doesn’t want to leave your wantlist?

One that I will never let go is Lait de Coco by Maya. And among the many records that don’t want to leave my wantlist, there is a 12’’ by Eddy Louiss called Caraïbes / Les Éléphants / Taureau. Maybe one day…

Q: Music bonds people. Any djs/projects/shops/etc.. you would like to shout out? 

There are a lot to mention, firstly my friends in Paris : Les Yeux Orange, LeonxLeon, Vidal Benjamin, Masterphil, the record shop Babaluma… Sara Mautone from Florence. Also Patrick Ryder from Manchester. His label Talking Drums is on fire right now, check it out if you haven’t. As Gary’s Gang once said, « keep on makin’ music » !

Hallooo Mix Series No.13 – Plastic Bamboo

Hailing from Paris, Gautier Honorez, aka Monodominical is another top brass veteran digging deep in the trenches of European disco, sifting tightly through the endless catalogues of late 70s and early 80s dancefloor oriented releases. Heavy on the French and Italian fronts, this mix should serve as a good offramp to send you out into the weekend with a pleasant pep to your step. Listen carefully and may your Discogs wantlists be forever ruined.

H.A.N.D. MIX 039 - Monodominical

An end of summer soundtrack, tan lines obviously not accepted.

Dreams Are Yours

New month new mix.
Ryan Bishop is behind one of the most creative and consistent multi-modal musical platforms out there. Dream Chimney (which hardly needs introducing), was certainly a big inspiration for 5918mins. and we are very happy to have him onboard. 

DJing himself under the name "The Beat Broker", Ryan developed a propensity towards Balearic sounds, which seemed to fit perfectly with the current time of the year. We are also very impressed by Ryan's consistency in digging and playing high-quality newer releases (which only makes sense if one one is interested in the musical, rather than the collectable worth of records). 
                             ----> to be enjoyed on a lush summer evening

Dream Chimney

Introducing the 9th installment(already!) of our guest mixes series, this time by Amsterdam-based Mademoiselle Linda delivering here what is an exquisite and balmy music selection.

Resident at Malmö's "Retreat Radio", Linda cleverly connects soft synthesizer layers, melodious guitars and Latin rhythms in her regular "Rêverie" radio show. In her own words, this podcast is "a blend of recent favorites to make sure spring is in your head, heart and home, ahead of a magic summer".
