Back 2 U - Hosted by Lexis on Kiosk Radio

Next up in Mr Bongo’s Record Club mix series, we’re delighted to welcome São Paulo based DJ, @giununez. Collecting music since she was a young child, Giu started piecing together the sounds she had been digging into DJ sets from the age of 18. Fast forward 16 years and Giu’s prominence as an eclectic and inspiring DJ and selector has seen her regularly grace the lineups of some of Brazil’s best parties and festivals including Gop Tun Festival, Coala Festival and DGTL São Paulo. Further afield, European tours have seen her playing at Amsterdam Dance Event alongside gigs in the likes of London, Paris, Prague, Bordeaux and beyond.

Giu is also part of the Domply collective as a resident DJ of one of Rio de Janeiro’s most loved parties, alongside being a key presence in the São Paulo scene. She contributes to radio shows all over the world with appearances on Worldwide FM, The Lot Radio, Rinse FM, Kiosk, Operator to name just a few. 

For this hour long mix, Giu has put together a selection of sumptuous Brazilian street soul sounds that really highlight the melting pot of influences this scene encompasses. In her own words she mentions:

“My intention was to share a bit of Street Soul from Brazil, some more popular songs, some more obscure, but in any case, all beautiful songs about being in love. 

There are too many favourites in here. I love the version of Jorge Ben ‘Menina Mulher Da Pele Preta’ by Sublimes, it's another mix from a single with six minutes that keeps me totally in. There’s also another Jorge Ben version, ‘Meu Namorado’ by Verônica Sabino, which is a very interesting production. 

Luna & Dj Cri ‘Acabou Como Começou’ has so many amazing details to it. The guitars, keyboards and synths - everything is perfect. Inimigo Público with ‘Fantasia’ uses keyboards like guitars, two vocals working in an awesome way. ‘Soltos Pela Noite’ by Nina Catarina has a layer of reggae that catches me every time.”

Big thanks to Giu for the mix, she will be touring Europe again in September so keep an eye out for upcoming dates.

Outsiders: BACK 2 U w/ PUBLIC SERVICE NYC (Hosted by Guthrie) @ Kiosk Radio 20.02.2025

From @grandhuit_514

I discovered Roy Ayers early in my musical journey. He’s an artist who had a huge influence on me, and over the years, I kept realizing just how important his career was to the history of music at large. 

From jazz to jazz-funk, jazz-fusion, disco, boogie, and even his influence on hip-hop & house—his impact is undeniable.

Today, I’m incredibly moved to see how much he inspired DJs, producers, and musicians across generations. But more than anything, it’s the universal love for him that stands out. Everyone loved Roy, and I think that’s what makes him such an important artist.

I became truly fascinated with his work the day I watched his live performance at Ronnie Scott’s, during the famous Battle of the Vibes. That’s when I realized not just his incredible musicianship but also his sense of humor. He had this incredible emotional range—his music could make you cry, laugh, or dance, sometimes all at once. That really struck me, and from that moment on, I started diving deeper into his music.

Over the years, my passion for his work grew. I started hunting for rare records, original pressings—until one day, I had the chance to see him perform on a rooftop in Brooklyn. He was already past 75 at that point, already fragile, but still so magical. 

Watching him play live as the sun set over the city is an image I’ll never forget. I remember bringing my original pressing of Roy Ayers Ubiquity with me, hoping to get it signed. But I was too shy, too in awe of the moment. It’s a small regret, but also a memory I’ll cherish forever.

With this mix, I wanted to pay tribute to him, as he passed away just a few days ago. 

I decided to take a chronological approach—starting with his debut album West Coast Vibes, moving through his time as Herbie Mann’s vibraphonist, then into his solo work and his years with his band Roy Ayers Ubiquity. From there, I included tracks from his 80s period, some unreleased material released by BBE, and even a few collaborations with Fela Kuti, Wayne Henderson, Guru & Erykah Badu. 

I chose to close the mix with Remember to Remember by Rick Holmes—it felt like the perfect closing theme for this tribute.

May his soul rest in peace and his music lives forever. 

Please note: I deliberately chose not to include his work as a producer for other artists like Sylvia Striplin, Ladies of the 80s, Bobbi Humphrey to name a few, except for Daylight and Remember to Remember. Same for Coffy as this one was a movie soundtrack and not a solo album. 

I also left out most of his collaborations, except for his track with Guru, which felt too important to omit. Additionally, I didn’t include any remixes, as it would have made the mix too long. 

Maybe all of that will be part of another recording one day...

Lexis is in Toronto and drops by his talented friend Raf Reza’s studio for another superb session of the Back 2 U show. Tons of discoveries, personal stories, laughs and cries. 

What record would you send back in time? What do you like to sing in the shower? A record everyone loves but you hate? What record makes you cry? And many more.

Growing up in Tokyo, living in the UK, and now based in Toronto, Raf’s sound has progressed over the years drawing inspiration from his many different homes. His debut album ‘Ekbar' continues to explore his obsession with all things dubwise, heavily referencing his UK connections as well as introducing Bengali cultural references into his work.

I will say that this is 1 of the best sound systems I've ever heard or played on!

Thank you to the folks over there that had me & to everyone who came to dance. 

We need more DIY spaces like these going forward...not just clubs & bars.

After a 12 episode run of Back 2 U monthly episodes, Lexis returns and welcomes another one of his Montreal friends for another music hangout to share records and the personal back stories that surround them.

Icky Magdala is a Montreal-based DJ and producer with a career spanning nearly two decades. Originating from the city’s underground scene, she finds refuge in sound system culture. Drawing upon a deep affection for different subgenres—with heavy emphasis on bass and drum lines—the avid vinyl records collector navigates through dub, jungle, drum & bass, hip hop, and acid techno. This has led her to perform at notable local and international venues and festivals, including Mutek Festival, Under Pressure Festival, The Lot Radio in NYC, and numerous encounters with the Dub-Stuy crew, to name a few. 

When she isn’t DJing, playing live sets or curating events, Icky Magdala continues to expand her sonic vision with her project Bridges to Dub. Her mission: spreading the music and good vibes.
