Downtime

Original book

giulietta

DJ Possum and Myles Mac return with a three hour trip full of saxy summer time slow jams, deep balearic burners, soulful UK garage and loungin' 90s house & hip hop. Mellow to its core, this one invites you to hit recline and see where the vibe might take you. One for the boom bappers and the chill steppers!

A little bit about the mix..

@djpossums:

Collaborating with Myles is fun because it's where we find a point of intersection with our djing styles and music tastes. I'm an unpinned DJ in terms of genre but together we find cohesiveness to tell a story that is reminiscent of our upbringings and nostalgic memories; UK Underground street soul, 90s Hip Hop, funny South African Kwaito tunes that we sing along to even though we don't know the language, soulful electronic love songs, early house classics and many more..

Some pretty banging songs that are precious to me from the message in the lyrics, the feeling they create, the fun vibes or just their awesome production are: Can't Stop (One World 12'' Mix) by After 7, U.N.I.T.Y. by Queen Latifah, Scratched by Etienne de Crecy and the Brazilian balearic classic Tudo Faz Sentido by Taciana to name a few.

@myles-mac:

One of the few upsides of extended periods at home this year thanks to all the lockdowns has been the time to trawl through old Ibiza chill CDs, youtube channel wormholes and bandcamp compilations to discover classic or relatively unknown 90s downtempo gems that have managed to last the test of time. With this mix, Maria and I put our heads together to tell a story of the past that somehow still sounds fresh to our ears today, trying to squeeze in a bunch of styles from both of our collections while making it all flow and sound somewhat cohesive over three hours and a variety of tempos.

Inspirations for the mix come from all over the map, but there's a definite focus on the link between the UK and Ibiza in the early-mid 90s, with old Dj Alfredo live recordings, José Padilla's Café del Mar compilations, psychedelic mixes from the late great Andrew Weatherall, the absolutely insane discography of UK Street Soul pioneer Toyin Agbetu (the producer behind 2 Tuff, Deluxe, Shades Of Black, Robyn, Mary Pearce and many more), the crisp jazzy productions of downtempo master Paul Hardcastle from Kiss The Sky (a ton of which he's uploaded to bandcamp) and the don of deep &amp; soulful UK Garage Mike Millrain (aka D Base, DJ South Central, Vibes Alive, Stone Cold Steppaz).

A few special mentions go to our friend Dust-e-1 in Montreal for his chillout monster of a remix for Pascale Project, the late Richard H. Kirk aka Sandoz who recently passed but left us with an infinite resource of beautiful electronic dance music, and Alaska's Kwaito classic "Accuse" that will always put a smile on our faces no matter the occasion.

BeacHouse 120 - NTahawy ft. Mohasseb

Summer is around the corner with @timeodj.. originally from Rennes (FR) Timeo loves to navigate across warm, ethereal, soulful and organic grooves.

"The vibe for this one is smooth, sometimes more dancy, but overall it's perfect for a mega chill session in the sun on a deckchair. It's slow, around 90bpm, recorded only with vinyl tracks featuring reggae, a bit of Brazilian funk, some synth-balearic stuff, and I finish with more R&B and hip-hop" 

OK! C'est parti!

M a g i c a s t - 0 8 0 🎇 - DJ Brisket

Duca Bianco is a left field edits label based in Rimini, Italy.   It was created by Ziggi Di Stella.   
 
The label is purely for fun, cutting, looping and rearranging older music for today’s dance floor and minds of the youth.  

The label has featured edits from the likes of Cherrystones, Hysteric, Kito Jempere, Jonny 5, Good Block, Harri Pierson, Tom Bolas, Talking Drums, Casinoboy and more.

Each one hour show is purely edits only and features friends and family of the label.  

To start the residency Jonny 5 steps out from the shadows again to bring a selection of some of his favourite edits, some his own on the (sadly missed) Bahnsteig 23 label, some unreleased and some appearing on Duca Bianco itself!
 
Bella Bella Bella.

Lyrics:
I look like an ecstasy 
Round and white
 Come swallow me
 Take me with cold cold water 
Because I’m your painkiller  , killer...

Find me in the supermarket 
Carry me in your pocket
 Let’s be friends, friends forever
 In your brain, as a painkiller  , killer...

Let me be your painkiller
Let me be your painkiller
