And now, a little bit of JAZ

John Zahl, also known as JAZ, is a DJ and record collector based in New York, USA, well-known for his eccentric edits and oddball mixes. We managed to connect with John after he'd arrived back in NYC after a few months spent travelling.

His mix, which was actually recorded nine years ago for Sanpo Disco on NTS Radio, features many of his all-time favourite records. He tells us these are songs that he still loves, and which remain in constant rotation. We'd like to mention a few of the tracks, starting with the lovely slo-mo/Italo disco record 'Non Ricordo, Ma Piangendo', B-side of a rare 7" by Giancarlo Aspromonte. Pit Troja's 'Der Voodoo Mann' from 1985 can only be described as German hip-hop over a Moroder-esque bass-line, wonderfully eccentric, as advertised! The late great Björn Holm's 'Tid At Stå Stilla' from his 1984 LP Bortom Gränsernas Hav, takes us into Swedish synth-pop territory. The mix features a few of JAZ's own edits, including 'Cloud Worship' which has to be one of our favourite edits of all time, just superb. This is an exceptionally well put-together mix, and despite the wide range of material, it flows perfectly and naturally, as a good eclectic mix should do.

Check out his brand new 12" edit release on the Death On Wax label:

Another vinyl EP featuring some more top-shelf edits is forthcoming on the Pinchy & Friends label, and a compilation album entitled Forbidden Fruit is also in the works with Portuguese label Secrets Of Sound, so be sure to check that out too when it's released.

Big thanks to JAZ for his kind permission to include this awesome mix in The Sunrise Mixtapes

Banana crew, here’s something special. 🍌

Our friend Axel Haxel is checking in from Peru — and he’s put together a mix that feels exactly like the person he is: warm, curious, a bit cheeky, and always digging for the good stuff.

It’s a blend of sunny grooves, Peruvian atmosphere and those little oddball tracks he somehow always manages to find. 

Hit play, lean back, and let Axel take you on a trip through his Peruvian soundscape. 🇵🇪✨

Mix of the Week #615 is "Sermon of Autumn" by Spolia
Follow and include @spoliaa in your track ID requests

Dutch music enthusiast and collector Spolia shares Sermon of Autumn, a mix of folky records that bring both warmth and melancholy as the days grow shorter in Europe. Nothing too obscure, just a selection of tunes to celebrate autumn - a season that quietly reminds us of the ever-changing nature of things and calls to cherish moments that may soon vanish with the wind. The mix is also a tribute to Jamie Tiller, through whom many of these records were discovered.

Mix of the Week #615: Spolia - Sermon of Autumn

Hey there folks - welcome back to Idle Cellars' Mix Series! It's been a wonderful year for music and we're so glad you're here with us exploring music via some of the globe's best selectors. We're coming in right down to the wire with a new mix from a veteran DJ perfect for your end-of-year holiday festivities. 

I met Balearic Mike via Paul "Mudd" Murphy, who suggested I meet up with Mr. Smith (his gov't name) and his soon-to-be spouse as they visited our fair city of San Francisco. Obviously kindred spirits, we all hit it off spectacularly and  have been solid amigos ever since, not to mention that the man has been a bit of a DJ mentor to me, encouraging me to get outside the tempo box and be freer with my selections and transitions, advice that I hold dear to this day as essential to my own progress in the artform. If there's a a DJ that speaks more to an  Idle Moment, we haven't found them.

Personal opinion aside, the man's accomplishments in pursuing the Balearic Beat (or non-beat, as it were) are legendary, seemingly at a nexus of Mediterranean ethos that brings all the tribes together, united through our love of music, dancing & chilling. HIs compilations for Claremont 56 (with Richard "Moonboots" Bithell) and the Down To The Sea and Back series (with Mancunian rhythm master Kelvin Andrews) have cemented him as a lead historian of the White Isle and the Black Crack we all love so dearly (I'm talking about records you filthy animals). 

Graciously, Mike has crafted us this wonderful two-hour mix to while away afternoons snowed in by the fireplace, for when it's too frozen outside to venture anything at all, and perhaps another round of hot cocoa is the only pressing thing to be done. Many thanks to Mike, and thanks to you all for streaming these wonderful mixes - your continued support enables us to continue highlighting our favorite DJs and we can't wait to bring your more greatness in the future. Happy Holidays and a wonderful New Year to you and yours. Bring on 2026!
