JAZ - Greatest Hits (pt. 11 - advanced italo)

Idle Cellars is back with another chiller killer for your Autumn revelry! This time around we’ve got another stellar mix from West Coast pioneer, Bay Area Rave legend & Cali breakbeat progenitor DJ SPUN! Responsible for breaking breaks in SF in the early 90s, punk rock bandleader in the early 80s, disco mastermind in the early 00’s - the man has been there, done that, whether via his label Rong Music, curating events at PS1 in NYC with the cream of club culture, humbly embodying some of the greatest DJ skills in the world, let alone the US (and let alone California!). 

His resume is far too long to list here, but he’s given us this fantastic mix for horizontal grooving that he’s titled “Idle Dub…Idle Chug”. Spun commented: “For fall and winter I usually switch to red wine…So this mix marked the start of the season and is a testament to the effect of a bottle of red!” Say no more squire! 

As usual, we’re in love with this journey through music, a gentle nudge from wonderful ambience through some late-night dubby funk on a slo-mo tip, keeping things musical and in outerspace!

From all of us at Idle Cellars, ENJOY!

Jeno in a Pirate VOID - May 2025

It’s with mixed feelings I have worked on this year’s edition of the ongoing Discoholics Anonymous series. Two artists that were on my list since year one can never do me the honor of gracing this series with their immense talent and love for music. In March the devastating news of Andy Williams (Yam Who?’s) death shocked the tightly knit Disco community at it’s very foundation. Suddenly one of the brightest reflections in the disco ball’s multi-facets turned dark forever. 

In November Stephen Richards left our realm and joined Andy in the lounge with Donna Summer, The Gibb brothers, Sylvester, Dan Hartman, Loleatta Holloway, Larry Levan, Walter Gibbons and all the other stars of the disco realm. I would have loved to share a mutual experience of bringing the joy of their art to you guys, and making this cumbersome world a tad more palatable. 

I am forever grateful to the funkateers who very generously gave their art for me to share with you this year. From Greece came Dim Zach, From Italy came Lup Ino, from Ireland came Dexter Jones, From New Zealand came The Loneliest Hunk, from England came Ben Banjo Field, Fray Bentos, Chewy Rubs and Ben Jamin, from Germany came FINAL DJS and Dee-Bunk, from Austria came Tunesmith, and from France came DoctorSoul. All with hundreds of years of artistry between them, tens of thousands of hours of DJing between them, all with a mutual mission: To make you feel the vibes of the weekend, liberty, love and unity through their music. Music with I get to give to you and thus mark another incredible year for Discoholics Anonymous.

I shan’t go into numbers or boring details about demographics and plays, suffice to say that Discoholics Anonymous more than ever plays a very central part in many people’s way of finding cool music on the internet. If I could gather you all in one place no major city in this world would be able to carry the pressure it would genrerate. I quite like the idea of that, and hope that the happiness we all derive from this style of music can somehow impact the cosmic field of love and energy that binds us all together as people in the end. 

You guys are what drives me to keep on writing reviews, sharing premieres, releasing the tracks I personally fall in love with , and curate with Martin and Mauro on Hot To The Touch, which now airs in three countries in Europe: Greece, Ireland and England. Thanks to Yiannis from Prime Radio for still airing the show in prime time every Friday, thanks to Cole Kutz from Opentempo for airing it at 12AM so that the continental funkers can dig the vibes during daytime there and for always plugging us on his own amazing Friday night shenanigans on Opentempo. Also a big thanks to the good people on NDC Radio who make us sound good across the UK and for making the show 4 minutes longer, every week. That’s a lot more Disco than most people think if you add up the minutes!

Thanks to my wife Rebecca for letting me stay in the disco liar, The Disco Waltons, Pete Ellison & Greg Middleton from Feel Good Friday for letting me be substitute teacher every now and then, Igor Gonya for sticking by me with premieres both ways and good and honest advice and occasional drinks across the world, all the labels and artists who submitted premieres for discoanon.com over the year. It’s been incredible to be able to give you such an insane amount of the freshest and whackest tracks in the world. To the more then 1900 people who’ve supported me through kind donations on Bandcamp and PayPal. You are directly the people who make it possible for me to keep on delivering quality content every week, every month, every year since 2019. My heart is humble and I’m so grateful to be able to keep this going for 6 years now and to be able to see it still growing and finding new engagements across the planet. 

THANK YOU! 

SEE YOU IN 2026.

Dont kiss me now

🎶please FOLLOW me for NEW releases😊...... It's all about eXPrEs$iOn...this is part of my 20 year legacy portfolio (under DJ aliases) of live mixes (including vinyl) to make the classics live again!..my music style comes from blending sounds that normally wouldn’t live in the same space or time - I love taking familiar groove tracks and reimagining them with new energy, whether that’s through creative sampling, stems, splice, correct key, loops, adding subtle beats, unexpected transitions, or layering vocals over completely different instrumentals - see my track list here: https://soundcloud.com/ch_risk_1   I hope you enjoy the vibes and please share it across all generations, so everyone can join in my New Groove! 🎶 💞  a big Thank You to Pioneer, Rekordbox, Albleton and Remix live, who provide all my beats 🥁and also all the original artists. Where would DJs be without you and where would artists be without DJs🙌

Idle Cellars is a boutique winery located in Sonoma County, California. We are Ben Larks, a teacher and explorer from Los Angeles and Ari Heavner, an entrepreneur from Berkeley. Our shared affinity for world travel and adventure led us to connect in 2006 while working crush in Sonoma. Idle Cellars was born with our first batch of Cabernet Sauvignon reflecting, as in most harmonious relationships, a balanced yin and yang between city dwelling Heavner and country living Larks. We strive to produce an elegantly balanced wine through our grace of art. Our belief is that the essence of winemaking is getting dirty in the vineyard, ensuring the best of Sonoma. We make it from the vine to the bottle through hands-on craftsmanship. Our knowledge and deep understanding of our agricultural surroundings allows us to choose what we believe are the best processes for each varietal of wine. Working together for 17 years now, Ben and Ari’s winemaking bond is stronger than ever, escalating the Idle movement one glass at a time. 
Music is such an important part of our lives and our wine making experience, we decided to start a mix series which is a musical representation of an #idlemoment.
