A bit more then a year ago I received a message from Déni Shain, a french music producer based in Lisbon. In that mail he asked me if I would be interested in releasing music from Cabo Verde since he was close to Chico and Wilson, the 2 DJs behind Celeste Mariposa (an excellent portuguese/angolan soundsystem specialised in lusophone music). 'I can convince them to make their record collection available to you' he added. I asked him if he could send me a selection, not knowing the amount of work my request would represent. I only later found out that the three-men-team had spent a whole week to pick and choose what they thought was adequate and another few days to wash the record and digitise the music.

I received that selection in March 2013 and I haven't stopped listening to it since. I clearly remember having that wonderful feeling when songs keep growing on you the more you listen. 'Very good sign' I thought! The collection of songs I had received became the base for a whole concept and we all started criss crossing Europe and Cabo Verde looking for more music and looking for the Cap-Verdien artists we loved. Déni Shain became an important asset for the Analog Africa label, supporting us with remixes and mixes but more importantly with an addictive positive energy.

After his first mix for us, the amazing 'Ghana Soundtrack' made out of unreleased and rare tracks from the small west african musical powerhouse, here is his second instalment made of handpicked dancefloor filler. A huge shout goes to legendary african music connoisseur John Beatle, to Carlo Xavier for letting us use his fantastic edit of "O Anel"  and to my close friend Keith Slater for offering us some of the fantastic music included here.

What up Idle Cellars fam? We’re back with another stellar new mix for your spring-into-summer fun, so pop a tasty bottle and get horizontal! Once again we’re proud to give you a mix from some of the world’s best selectors and this month showcases another favorite - it’s Brooklyn’s JKriv! We met Jason while he was holding down basslines for incredible acoustic House band Tortured Soul, which he followed swiftly by a stint in NYC disco-obsessed group Escort (amazing!), then linking up with Aaron Dae to create the influential Razor-N-Tape label empire! Since then the man has been living the disco dream, traveling the world playing tunes, making some fantastic music (check out his groovy and soothing Within EP) and opening the RNT record shop in addition to being a wonderful human being. 

He’s hooked us up with a poolside killer that has us dreaming of hot, hazy afternoons treading water, mornings when there’s nothing to do but soak in some rays, & nights of wine & torchlit patios. We hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Phil Mison Early One Evening

Passage oblige au Mellotron pour Nickodemus et Bosq en guise d'échauffement avant d'aller s'enjailler au Malibv. C'était vendredi dernier et ça sentait fort le soleil au 6 rue Beaurepaire.

C'était début juillet, il a maintenant presque un mois, la semaine sainte du Worldwide Festival de Gilles Peterson sonnait l'heure du rendez-vous annuel dont il nous est impossible d'en rater une miette. Cette édition 2016 fut une fois de plus un cru exceptionnel. Entre live, DJ sets, ambiance, espaces, rencontres, pas une seule fausse note. Chaque année on s'y prépare et pourtant, chaque année on se reprend une grosse claque musicale. Une symbiose parfaite entre espace, temps et couleurs musicales à laquelle nous avons une fois de plus apporté notre pierre à l'édifice.

Du mardi au vendredi nous avons installé le studio du Mellotron sur la plage de La Ola pour y recevoir producteurs, DJs, amis et nouvelles rencontres. De 11h00 à 14h00 se sont succédés dans le désordre DJ Oil, Nikitch, Around The World, Clémentine, Saint-James, Jim Irie, Majestic Mood, Les Oreilles de P'ears, Frederic Beneix, Le Mellotron DJs, et bien  sûr le papa du festival Gilles Peterson et son acolyte Lefto pour finir la semaine en beauté.

Et du coup, pour ceux et celles qui en auraient raté une miette ou veulent se refaire une piqure de Worldwide Festival, on vous balance ici même les recordings de ces sessions. On tient à s'excuser pour les deux podcasts manquants de Da Vince et Supagroovalistic qui viendront rejouer le match quand bon leur semble au 6 rue beaurepaire.

Rendez-vous l'année prochaine, même ville, même festival, nouvelle claque.
