Guest mixes

Amidst the vast plethora of wonderful things shared by Italy and France, a vivid aural culture that is as cosmopolitan and ancient as their respective histories is definitely one of the most distinctive. Indeed, apart from the shared Latin roots of their languages, incomparably vigorous gastronomic traditions, some of the most stunning visual art known to mankind and the auspicious blessing of the Mediterranean, their respective musical legacies and scenes are among the richest in world: from classical to contemporary schools, from experimental to commercial templates, from avant-garde to postcolonial traditions, from contemplative to danceable formats… And it all comes full circle in the lovely work of this trio of passionate Italian connaisseurs, Pitaya Soundsystem, of which this mix is a spectacular sample.
One that will delight devoted diggers and dedicated dancers alike while serving an itinerary that crisscrosses the globe in all its rhythmic splendour, unveiling alluring soundscapes and varied temperatures. In nuce, something for each and everyone of us.

Zero 7 at Rhythm Corner [ Live from We Out Here 2024 ]

To celebrate the publication of Ian Leslie's excellent new book, John & Paul, A Love Story In Songs, I’ve put together a humungous mix of my favourite Beatles (and post-Beatles) cover versions. It’s 3 and a half hours long. Hope you enjoy and find a few surprises in there. Full Tracklist over at Patreon (patreon.com/billbrewster)

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

My name is Oscar Wilson, I’m a designer from London, and work with my brother Ben as @thewilsonbrothers https://www.instagram.com/thewilsonbrothers/ 
We also play records together, mostly 45’s these days, but both of us have LPs and 12” as well :) My ‘collection’ is pretty varied, but based around a lifetime's love of Black music, and playing these records ‘publicly’ for 32 years now.


2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

I love that 7” versions are shorter, and the physical format smaller / lighter than 12” - so you can take (physically carry!) and play more music / genres across the night.


3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

In fact it actually turned out to be two hours in the end! :)  - taken from a 5.5 hour live recording at Hazel’s - @hazels.sta https://www.instagram.com/hazels.sta/ - which is a super nice music led restaurant and wine bar concept about 30 minutes north of London. The 1st hour is early in the night / 2nd hour later on - but it’s all very relaxed vibes for listening (and dining) rather than dancing.


4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 

We play mostly small private parties these days, but I’ve been really loving the restaurant sessions at Hazel’s where the mix was recorded, and also got some mixes online here . . https://www.mixcloud.com/studio_oscar/  including a series of lockdown Wilson Brothers radio shows for Run Dem Radio @run.dem.crew 
https://www.instagram.com/run.dem.crew/ 

Next Hazel’s set will be in late May + dates soon @Bambi_e8 with my man @Lebz7
 https://www.instagram.com/bambi_e8/    https://www.instagram.com/lebz7/  and @margateofflicence

5) Top 5 all time fave records

This question is impossible to answer!
But 5 x 7” from this mix that I’m really into - in no particular order - are ..

Bob James - Theme from Taxi
Paul Simon - The Rhythm of the Saints
Dionne Warwick - You’ll never get to heaven (if you break my heart)
Johnny Baker - It’s your night
Grover Washington - Be Mine Tonight

45/7 #96 ARTIST: WILSON BROTHERS (PART 2)

Eddie C is a Canadian DJ, producer, and vinyl enthusiast known for his warm, groove-driven blend of disco, house, funk, and balearic sounds. Originally from Southern Ontario, Eddie’s musical journey began in the late ‘80s, influenced by hip-hop and the early acid house scene. He started by making tape edits of late-night radio shows and immersing himself in warehouse parties.

His diverse taste and deep record knowledge were honed through years of university radio and 1990s raves, eventually leading him to craft eclectic, soulful DJ sets that span boogie, slo-mo disco, and deep house.

In 2010, Eddie founded Red Motorbike, a vinyl-only label that’s become a cult favorite for its dusty, analog-inspired cuts. His productions and edits have appeared on respected labels like Razor-N-Tape, Endless Flight, and Crue-L Records.

Now based in Vancouver Island - after leaving Berlin in 2020 and being a nomad for three years - he continues to tour internationally, thanks to his soulful, genre-blending sets and unwavering dedication to underground music culture.

Oh! We almost forget to tell you he recently launched his brand-new label, Disko Universal, debuting with an EP in collaboration with Keitano Sano. Don’t miss it!

Guidon takes the reins for the 60th Tiger Tapes !  🤠🐅

Italian DJ, digger and member of Paris-based collective @pitayasoundsystem, @gu-rdulu has been shaping his sound between cosmic textures, warm grooves, and a touch of raw, progressive energy.  

Beyond the booth, he’s also one of the minds behind Zero Beghe Festival, a yearly sonic escape in the heart of Tuscany. 

Here we have a mix that captures his vision: dreamy, driving, and wide open.

Tiger Tapes 060 - Guidon (Pitaya Soundsystem)

The grand finale of my Downtempo Forest Trilogy comes correct with my favorite mix of the series. Farina takes you on a deep, funky, jazzy, mystical, and psychedelic trip through the mind of a true mixmaster and crate digger. I wish I had a track listing because I would love quite a few of these tracks for my own collection! Hope you enjoy.

J-Dub Vinylcast 016 - Mark Farina - Downtempo Forest 8

Recorded "LIVE" on Easter Sunday, 2019 - Here's a nice long (just under 5 hours) taste from what was a beautiful 8 hour journey of sensational music curated on the fly by the super combo of GE-OLOGY and RED GREG (both amazing in their own right), whose individual and combined music knowledge, chemistry, insane record collections, and masterful DJ skills WOW'd the Selectors Stage audience at DEKMANTEL a few years ago when they first paired up to play back-to-back. Ever since, it's been a treat to see these guys team up on a few more occasions...and the 6th birthday celebration for the FEVER 105 crew was no exception! Pure musical bliss....enjoy!

GE-OLOGY & RED GREG (LIVE at The Pickle Factory, London)- Easter Sunday 2019 - Fever 105 6th bday!!!

Pitaya Soundsystem est un collectif influencé par une idée d'exotique et d'ancien à la fois. Shiva et Dj Miles, les deux fondateurs sont des accros à la galette noir qui s'emparent des dancefloor parisiens en créant un mélange entre rare groove, disco, latin jazz et toute sorte de musique ethnique.  Pour ce set ils invitent Biga, pionner de la musique du monde en Italie. Influencé par le Hip Hop, la soul et la funk, c'est un artiste complet qui a su faire sa place sur la scène musicale mondiale !
