On the Run

James Brown - The Boss

One of the "deep cuts" in the Real Book. This a standard by Stanley Cowell that my father showed me when I was a kid and I've loved it ever since.

Equipoise

I opened up the car door (Ahhh ohhh)
I walked into the club (Ahhh ohhh)
I’m gonna get my lady (Ahhh ohhh)
My babe been actin’ up (Ahhh ohhh)

I’m going to the dance floor (Ahhh ohhh)
I see someone I know (Ahhh ohhh)
Is this how she hurts me (Ahhh ohhh)
Or does she even know? (Ahhh ohhh)

Why we play these cold hearted 

Games
Drives me insane
My heart don’t beat the same
To these cold hearted games

Why we play these cold hearted 

Games
I feel pain
My heart don’t beat the same
To these cold hearted games

Games

Her friends say, “Make him chase you!” (Ahhh ohhh)
A game of cat and mouse (Ahhh ohhh)
Told her if he wants you (Ahhh ohhh)
He better bring down the house (Ahhh ohhh)

I’d rather go blind (ahhh ohhh)
Or wait at the dock of the bay (ahhh ohhh)
I’ve invested time (Ahhh ohhh)
And not gon play their game (Ahhh ohhh)

Cause bye bye bye 
Devil is a lie
You think I’m gon 
Stay 
Bye bye bye 
Devil is a lie
You think I’m gon
Stay 

Why we play these cold hearted 

Games
Drives me insane
My heart don’t beat the same
To these cold hearted games

Why we play these cold hearted 

Games
I feel pain
My heart don’t beat the same
To these cold hearted games

Games

Kick rocks, kick rocks
Get out of dodge 
(Same)
(Games)
Kick rocks, kick rock
Get out of dodge 
(Same)
(Games)

Games
I feel pain
My heart don’t beat the same
To these cold hearted games

Kool & The Gang - Jungle Boogie (X & Ivy's Swingers Cut)

Summer is our favorite season! We always want to have Summer Come Back!

Summer Come Back

From libertad to San José
We drove the roads they paved the way 
From Trinidad cross the Rio Negro
We wondered how they made those places home
Pulling together and just about holding on

A mile or two from Trinidad
A camel stopped us in our tracks
Another stranger in this brave new land 
Swapped sweet cattle grass for desert sand
Rolling with the punches 
And just about holding on

Cinchando juntos, la van llevando
(Pulling together, they’re just about holding on)
Cuatro por cuatro acelera pasando camiones cargados, lentos largando calor en la plaza independencia botijas jugando, banderas flameando! Atraviesa la tierra, es una arteria, alimenta las calles del vecindario.
El ganado se junta bajo un árbol cualquiera buscando la sombra porqué los rayos te queman
(Four wheel drives speed up overtaking loaded trucks that give off heat
its hot in the Independence plaza
kids are playing and flags are swaying (the road) cuts through the land like an artery
nourishing the streets of the neighbourhoods
the cattle gather under any tree they can find
looking for shade because the rays burn)

The city swells in harmony
(Ahí viene la llamada)
A dog & traffic symphony
And people flock from wide & far 
Applaud the sunset from the busy Rambla
Rubbing together
& Just about holding on
Cinchando juntos, la van llevando 
(Pulling together, they’re just about holding on)

JUST ABOUT HOLDING ON
RECORDED by Gerardo Alonso at his studio in Montevideo MIXED by Steve Stewart at Waves Studio, Cambridge
VOICE & SYNTH Joanna Eden
BASS & BACKING VOCALS Andrés Lafone 
ACCORDION Hugo Fattoruso
DRUMS Albana Barrocas
GUITAR & BACKING VOCALS Guillermo Hill

Just About Holding On is a journey song. But while On the River Plate zooms out to all cities, maybe this zooms back in time; when was the first journey along this road, or the land that now forms the road? How did it feel to be the first. How did you know you’d reached your destination, your home, your new land. A place to ‘settle’.

Coming from a place like England with its long and well documented history where people always just ‘were’, the experience of settling a place feels like something which never happened here. The people and the land just seemed to evolve together. Of course they didn’t but maybe we just have so much history that we don’t dwell on the first humans to move here.

So driving from Montevideo to Paysandu on the north-west Uruguayan border with Argentina to see keyboard legend Hugo Fattoruso and his partner drummer Albana Barrocas in concert with Japanese percussionist Tomohiro Yahiro, I had 5 hours to think, drive, look, sleep, muse on first journeys.

Just about holding on

Emerging R&B/Soul artist TiGER releases his emotionally charged first single, “Corset Me Free.” This deeply personal track explores the power struggles and emotional distance within gay and straight male friendships, blending vulnerability with a raw, nostalgic intensity. 

Written on a floor mattress in the throes of a hangover and wounded pride, “Corset Me Free” is a love letter to friendships often defined by unspoken expectations and inequity. It speaks to the loneliness of being on the outside looking in, the passive roles we sometimes accept, and the longing to be both seen, understood, and desired. 

"Left out in the sun for too long - that’s how I felt writing this song. I’m just a person with needs and desires like anyone. As a human being, there’s generally always an inherent need to feel accepted, and we often turn a blind eye to those we care about when they treat us incorrectly in exchange for what we think is acceptance. There is a double standard when it comes to what a straight man feels they can do to a gay body, versus what a gay man can do to a straight body. This song is about that inequity, the way we see our bodies, and the way our bodies sometimes shape the way we see ourselves," says TiGER, reflecting on the track’s honest intentions.

Peletronic comes back on Fortunea Records with another great 4-tracker!
After his successful Hazy Jane EP and the broken beat contribution ‚Goldfinch’ on the latest 10 year anniversary compilation, he delivers us four brand-new contemporary and intensive cuts on here.

Restless, the title-track of this record, is a sub driven deep house work out with boasting swelling loops and an irresistible vocal sample. Afterwards dreamy acid lines and energetic drum patterns prepare you for several ‚Timeless Travels’.

‚Malibu Orange’ on the B-side captures the elusive late-hours in the morning. And the record ends with the minimal flamboyant beats of ‚1160 Dub'. A lovely homage to his favorite district in the Austrian capitol.

The Restless EP will come out on the 23rd of may. This record is limited to 200 copies. There will be no repress!

Eve is one of a kind. She is funny and at the same time wise. She is the model in the world of beauties and I am happy that I've met her.
 
This mix is a collection of songs that I have been hearing in Berlin and I really enjoyed putting them together and presenting it. 
I dedicated the set to my beloved sister, Eve, whom my Berlin memories could not be this good without her.
