Plat du jour : Juan Tariko b2b Bonivan (Grosso Modo)
@juan-tariko + @julo_julo

Aujourd’hui pour ce 29ème podcast, on reçoit nos voisins stéphanois Juan Tariko et Bonivan qui nous ont mijoté un b2b interstellaire. Amis depuis 15 ans, c’est à Lyon qu’ils viennent faire leurs études et qu’ils y découvrent leurs premiers vrais clubs et de nombreux artistes. C’est aux alentours de 2016 qu’ils commencent à beaucoup échanger sur la musique et à s’intéresser au mix dans des asso étudiantes ou à la maison. Pendant le premier confinement, ils se lancent avec plusieurs potes dans l’aventure Grosso Modo, un collectif qui a pour vocation de partager de la musique, faire de la radio et organiser leurs propres évents.

Ayant en tête de créer une grosse teuf et de diffuser leur vibe, la team s’est lancée dans l’organisation de leur premier festival cet été. Un spot giga cool, une progra super pointue, une bande de srabs bien motivés et Dixmontel était né. Si vous avez loupé ça en 2021, on ne peut que vous conseiller d’aller vous y prendre une claque pour la prochaine édition !

Ces deux sélecteurs hors pairs ont toujours eu un spectre d’influence assez large et respectivement différent. C’est d’abord autour de la musique rave qu’ils se retrouvent avant d’être aspirés dans des vibes mentales et slow par la suite. Inspirés par des labels comme Die Orakel, Magic Wire, Mirror Zone, Kalahari Oyster Cult, Antinote, Worst Records et tout ce qui gravite autour du crew Positive Education (big-up Sainté), vous pourrez prochainement croiser les 2 chefs entre Paris, Valence, Grenoble et Lyon.

Pour ce nouveau set, cosmic is the word : des artistes récents, des nouveautés des trouvailles 90s bien mentales, du downtempo, du dub, from Saint-Etienne to Saturne with love ! Bon appétit 🌯

Podcast°29 : JUAN TARIKO B2B JULO JULO

Reissue number three for Heels & Souls Recordings combines the Balearic bliss of Paprika Soul’s, ‘Come With Me’, with Soft Sugar’s dream house gem ‘Métro’ and an unreleased version of the tripped-out groover ‘Swampin'. A cherry picking of the best of three rare and sought after ‘90s EPs from the minds of High Wycombe’s Alan Barnes, Andrew Spiller and Andrew Hughes.

As anthemic as they get, Paprika Soul's 'Come With Me (Sea Breeze)' is an otherworldly electronic interpretation of Tania Maria’s beloved Brazilian jazz funk classic from '83. Vocalist Sarah Newell's unique delivery combines with a euphoric blend of Barnes’ and Spiller’s crisp drum machine programming and cosmic synthwork. Complete with crashing waves and Balearic birds, it’s a timeless, endorphin-tingling track that feels even more relevant than ever. The A-side also features the brilliant street soul flavoured ‘The Chill’ mix and the ‘Bossa Mix’, the most true in form to the original.

On the flip you’ll find Soft Sugar’s dream house flavoured ‘Métro (Funk Mix)’, Barnes and Andrew Hughes’ homage to time spent cruising the Parisian train system. Barnes’ favourite of their joint-productions, it blends that riviera feel of classic M1 stabs and sweeping pads with a dreamy bassline and stuttering breaks. Flying under the radar at the time, it’s since become hot property for the eagle-eyed digger out there.

Closing out the B, an unreleased, alternate version of Soft Sugar’s slung-back ‘Swampin’ from their Basement Records House Department EP. Mesmerizingly smooth, the 110bpm house-groover busts the brain with wigged out chants and intoxicating arpeggiations.

Fully licensed from Alan Barnes and remastered by Cicely Balston, 20% of profits from Heels & Souls Recordings and Prime Direct Distribution will be donated to Zaatari Radio – a humanitarian collective working with war-affected communities around the world.

DJ Chrysalis who has appeared on Public Possession before with contributions to the Chill Pill series now delivers this 5 Track debut EP on the label. When he is not out and about in the Australian outback he works on his ceramics or makes music. The former definitely inform the later as you can hear a clear connection to earth and a strong spiritual vibe in the five songs that put a contemporary touch into an ancient cosmic vision.

@opalsunn's return to Nick Höppner's Touch From A Distance is sort of a recap of 2019 - a year that proved pretty incredible for the duo of Alex Kassian and Oba Hiroaki. Their live show took them quite literally all over the world including Tokyo, Valencia, Ho-Chi-Minh-City, Hanoi, Fusion Festival, England's beloved Field Maneuvers and last but not least: Panorama Bar in Berlin, where they performed twice in 2019  as part of the Touch From A Distance labelnights.
Their „Laika EP“ has been largely inspired by their first Panaroma-Bar-performance in january last year, which they - unassuming, yet assertive - took by storm. Eight months later their show in the Laika tent at the UK's best kept festival secret Field Maneuvers marked a second highlight in Opal Sunn's calendar. As a tribute, Opal Sunn have called the opening track to this record „Laika“.
Their second ep for Touch From A Distance is picking things up, where their debut left off, meaning Opal Sunn's sound design is as pristine as a mountain spring and their arrangements are as tight and effective as ever. Having played numerous gigs in the meantime, there seems to be a new focus, though. All four tracks feel much more centered and balanced, aiming quite effortlessly at  a heaving dancefloor.
„Laika“, the ep's lead track, sees Opal Sunn at their most effective and peak time. A long build up and a rolling 303 bassline make for a total sureshot of a track.
On „Minority State“, the duo let's their Electro inclinations run free, fusing razor sharp beats with icy melodies and abstract sound effects.
On the b-side, „Holy Mountain“ is essential Opal Sunn: Glistening arpeggios, gliding melodies and floating beats create a psychedelic atmosphere predestined to lose yourself in.
The ep ends with „Tangerine Blues“, an equally atmospheric and trance-y  track embedded in a rather broken beat, going for a more cinematic vibe.

When you find DJ Sotofett and Telephones on remix duties for the mighty Joan Bibiloni it’s sure to be a treat. For the 22nd installment in the saft series, two of Bibiloni’s greatest numbers from ‘Born’ (1989), are re-imagined for the occasion.

Sotofett opens up the A side with an extended version of Bibiloni’s ‘El Sur’. Clocking in just under twelve minutes, the so-called ‘mastermix’ is a version in the vein of the extended disco singles from the era of the original. Sotofett’s supernatural dancefloor touch centers around Bibiloni’s guitar-licks that gently slide along and communicate with the other elements of the original. This is a version to close a night with - or better yet - to close a summer set just before
sundown.

The B side contains a reworked version of ‘Sa Fosca’ by another Norwegian artist: Telephones. ‘Telephones Coastal Dub’, is another lengthy endeavor. The ten (and something) minutes long venture keeps in line with the Mallorcan character of the Bibiloni sound, while giving it a subtle touch of dancefloor, complete with the signature lead of the original as the focal point. The extensive intro and the balance between breeziness and firmness is sharply done and will make sure that the version can find its way into numerous settings.

Klasse Wrecks’ sub-label GRAFITI TAPES is back for its 12th instalment and features music and artwork from one of the most important and formative writers in early UK graffiti history, in fact Coma (or Richard Sen as he’s also known) has the accolade of being one of the first ever writers to paint the London Underground system in the mid 1980s. His iconic ‘Bottleneck’ style train panel (which features on the sleeve artwork of this release) caused quite a storm in the national press and served as a landmark for the countless writers that came after him. Richard put down the spraycans in 1988 and has since had a flourishing and long career in music as a DJ and talented producer, his productions sonically capturing the 'boilingpot catch-all' style of Hip Hop culture. Richard’s release for GRAFITI TAPES comes on two formats (vinyl and tape cassette) and serves up a total of 6 tracks. Included within is a melange of post-punk basslines, clattering breakbeats, trancey pads and a unique atmosphere that many writers will recognise from a legacy of graffiti video soundtracks, dusty 45s and boombox funk.
