AIN’T NO WAY is a gritty, off-grid Earl Sweatshirt x MIKE type beat, drawing influence from the underground spirit of Some Rap Songs, Beware of the Monkey, and Weight of the World. With hazy textures, filtered soul samples, and dusty percussion, this beat feels like a lost cassette tape from a Brooklyn basement.

Inspired by the likes of Earl Sweatshirt, MIKE, Navy Blue, MAVI, and Maxo, it’s perfect for poetic rap, stream-of-consciousness bars, and deeply introspective verses.

Patrick Billard also known as DJ Duckcomb has a way of making mixes that fits very naturally with 5918mins. So much that we didn’t even have to explain the concept to him. 

He really carved out his own and very personal approach to digging and being a DJ - so we think that the proud dad who is currently residing in Los Angeles can best explain his approach to music himself: 

"I guess it all goes back to my first record as a toddler was Stray Cats "Stray Cat Strut"on 45 which i played until the grooves wore out. Then Michael Jackson and Breakdancing took over my childhood years but in my highschool years i was hugely into indie rock like Pavement and Guided by Voices...this was the early 90s. 
I once read an interview with Robert Pollard of GBV and he listed some of his favorite records and one that stood out for me was David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust". I think from that point onward i started really exploring older music, possibly to the detriment of neglecting new music. After exploring Bowie and the glam era and working back into psych i got back into punk and Paul Weller and The Jam which then led to exploring soul music and from there disco and that's really been my path for the past 20 years: disco and by extension the disco side of reggae/calypso/african music. I've also really been enjoying exploring private press or "real people" records. I think this mix represents a good snapshop of what i currently look for when digging. There's everything from private press AOR and new wave reggae from Long Island to synth heavy funky psych jams from the Philippines and Israel to some zouk and African boogie. And of course, i always like to bookend my mixes with a choice spoken word record!"

We can only add that we’re incredibly happy to have him. He’s one of those who incorporates the idea behind this podcast series. If you can’t handle personality, you better avoid.

Very Happy to welcome israeli super talented dj and producer @eladomusica to join our mix series.

He'll delight your ears for an hour of great jams from his motherland and beyond!

more about ELADO:

His name has been synonymous with Disco, breaks, rare grooves and edits throughout the Tel Aviv nightlife for 2 decades now, and while he’s been collecting vinyl for almost 30 years, 2020's lock down mentality has been the first time he’s turned his hand to producing, with fantastic results and great reactions.

His debut 45 on Berlin's Red Motorbike is just a taster to what promises to be a spectacular 2021 for this experienced selector/producer. Top notch releases are already lined up on labels such as Razorntape, G.A.M.M, Secret Squirrel and Bonfido, along with support from Antal, Folamour, Jkriv and many more.
