Feiertag is this week's guest #OnTheRecord

Feiertag - On The Record #283

A new monthly series of mixtapes, in which we invite First Word friends & family to lace us with a selection of their soulful favourites from across the board. For July's edition, we welcome DJ Sabor A Mi — the Sete-based selector known for weaving together rich, emotive sounds from all corners of the globe. On the mix, Sabor A Mi says:

“This mix is a tribute to cultural mixing, and to all the connections it makes through music and its history. The selection has a guideline that is established in Afro-Latin rhythms, but crosses the Caribbean and the eras. I recorded it in total improvisation, letting my soul and emotions speak for themselves in the hope of thrilling you. Enjoy”

Our August instalment in the First Word mixtape series comes courtesy of broadcaster, journalist and DJ Tina Edwards. A trusted tastemaker and long-standing friend of the label, Tina has been championing soulful sounds from across the globe for over a decade, with selections that span jazz, broken beat, electronic textures and beyond. She’s presented on BBC Radio 3, Worldwide FM and Jazz FM, and is a regular voice curating forward-thinking sounds both on-air and on dancefloors. On the mix, Tina says:

"When I record mixes at home, I like to create in a hill shape; there’s no audience in front of me to respond to so sometimes I set a scene, take the listener on an excursion, and drop them off back where we started. 

This isn’t a flashy mix but a response to First Word’s invitation to dig out music from the soul; I’ve curated music that makes me wanna move my hips, makes my soul vibrate. I’ve ended with one of my favourite tracks from the First Record catalogue, too. Hope you find something in here that you enjoy. 


Thanks for all you do, FWR!"
