Just loving the whole thing.  Masterful work, JC.  And live too.  Sounds like you did it in the studio...

A conway on the internet, rare! Thank shiva!

I don't have the adequate poetry to describe the enigma that is C-Love but I can say that she was playing South African House records about 5 years before it was a thing and listening to her play 'Was Dog A Donut' at minus 20 BPM tripping balls on a floaty at the Sunset Campout was on of my all time fave DJ experiences.  She's put an exquisite selection together for our next mix; Autumn Blossom is as beautiful as the title suggests. #EnjoyYourIdleMoment @cloveontherocks-1

Autumn Blossom - C Love

Next up on the @idlecellars mix series we have the legendary Phil Mison. One of my favourite DJ’s (and humans) his history alone is enough to warrant anyone’s respect but his music truly speaks for itself. I’m delighted to offer this exquisite journey from someone I consider to be an unsung hero of sorts. Certainly a hero of mine. He was there from day one. Some history here for those that don’t know his roots, in his own words…

“Cafe Del Mar opened in 1980, but never had a resident dj until José Padilla started  in 1991. I'd heard him play there that year and bought some tapes from him. I didn't go back in 92 but made a couple of tapes that a friend went out and gave him, similar stuff to what he was playing. Later that year i met him in Tag records in soho. He remembered the tapes and i invited him along to the Milk Bar where i was resident at the time. 

In early march 1993, José had an offer to go and DJ in asia and asked me if i wanted to cover for him at the Café Del Mar while he was away. Of course i said yes and a couple of weeks later he turned up at the Milk Bar with plane tickets and the keys to his house. I flew out at the end of March and played every day until the first week of May. I returned to London as i still had my residency at the Milk Bar and other gigs at the Ministry & Gardening Club. I went back for my birthday in September, played a couple more times and just hung out listening to music. 

José returned to London later that year for the winter. He asked if i wanted to be resident with him for the whole summer of 1994. I flew out late may and stayed until late september. I met quite a few people out there that year including Paul Daley, which led me onto becoming Leftfields tour DJ in 1996. Also Kennneth Bager, Harvey and a few others that are still good friends today.” Enjoy friends 🐬

Next up on Idle Cellars we have LA's finest debutante and deep digger extraordinaire the infamous Dirty Dave with a smooth selection of slow dreamy floaters for your listening pleasure. It's a delight to share 'Sorcery' with you all. 

Dirty Dave:

I made it my goal to create a mix that really speaks to, and from the heart with this one. Here's a bit of what I've been feeling the past few years, all coming from an inspiration to help further move our bodies & minds toward those ultimate places of peace & understanding. What music can do...it's definitely sorcery.

Best served around dusk or dawn, alone or with people you love. Cheers!

Coyote Mix May '24

This month's mix is by yet another unsung legend of the San Francisco scene - Ken Vulsion aka Ken Woodard! I first met Ken in the late '90's when he was working as graphic designer for the Hardkiss Brothers' label Sunburn. Since then I've come to admire his design work as well as his incredible DJ history - whether as globetrotting DJ with appearances at Horse Meat Disco, Optimo, Cocktail D'Amore, NYC Downlow and so much more, or as co-founder of queer DJ collective Honey Soundsystem (and person responsible for its incredible design aesthetic) as well as local bear disco bash Go Bang!, not to mention his return to Acid House alongside DJ Spun as Acido Ahora. Ken is currently holding court at neighborhood haunt Underground SF, where Idle Cellars are posted up every Sunday afternoon for new Balearic venture ÜBar and regular appearances at new weekly evening party End of Day at Hawthorne in SF. We're so proud to present this wonderful mix of chilled-out classics and new jams alike, but I'll let Ken introduce the mix himself: 

"KEUKA LAKE (1983—Present)  Thunder awakens those not already awake. The all night party goes on and on. A bottle of Bully Hill Goat White tied to an inner tube, you are floating away."

Enjoy, and we'll see you next month!

JOSH ONE "Contemplation" King Britt Funke Remix SOUND PELLEGRINO THERMAL TEAM LEAN HOUSE edit

ARTIST: PAYFONE 
CAT NO. GOLFCHANNEL 062
 TITLE: QUARANTINE / PADRE PRAY FOR US RELEASE DATE: 21 / 9 / 15
 FORMAT: VINYL 12 
CONTACT : hq@golfchannelrecordings.com

From a basement studio in Hackney, East London, comes Phil Passera and Chieka Ononye's  second release on Golf Channel as PAYFONE , The darkly smooth A side Quarantine is backed on the flip side with the South American flavoured Padre, Pray For Us.
Following on from 2014’s extremely well received Paradise, a track that NME described as “a rich, dubby slice of funk”, PAYFONE continue with a similar theme for their new A side Quarantine.
Once again featuring 24 year old vocal powerhouse Louis Howard Jones, lead track Quarantine is a semi
￼￼
autobiographical take on the hardships of an underprivileged youth, set against a tough drum machine production that sounds more New York City than New Port County (Jones was born and raised in Wales, UK ). Cruising at a steady 120 BPM, the dark electronic rain drops and funk guitar intro gives way to some heavy slap bass action and deep synth bass that nods some way towards Michael Jackson’s Thriller before the brutal vocals of Louis Howard Jones hit you right between the eyes with power lyrics such as ‘ Born to be supreme, raising hell like Kerosene’
B side, Padre, Pray For Us is a bizarre Afro-Cuban inspired homage to Phil Passera’s father Sergio (who can be heard on the telephone singing praise for American / Sicilian showboat Louis Prima). Featuring the dynamic trumpet tones of former Cuban military private Eikel Venegas Hernandez, this 8 minute instrumental takes you to the Piñata Party via downtown Lagos.
Golf Channel boss Phil South adds “ Welsh tonsils and NYC inspired boogie – what’s not to love ? “

In the Dark of the Night

Josephine (E-Gerät Remix)

All any DJ touching down in San Francisco needs is Nikola Baytala's number on speed dial. Whether you're a frequent visitor or a virgin to the West Coast city, it's imperative to call on him for an in-the-know tour of the City's finest spots.

Apart from underground SF expeditions, Baytala's legacy comprises some of the most kinetic and dynamic club tracks ever released, an eclectic record collection so big it requires its own postcode and a vintage car and bike collection nicely referenced in the artwork for his first release on Pets Recordings. 

The ‘Nikola Baytala’ EP sees Baytala explore his far reaching influences with the help of Myles Egner (with label bosses, Catz ‘N Dogz, and fellow SanFranciscans, Pillow Talk, on remix duties.) 

Opening track, ‘Zero $’ carves out a chugging 4x4 beat that soon becomes overrun with dark and dischordant synth tones and a stripped back bass line that buzzes with reverb. This is house at its most ominous.
