really dig this one...! can you share an ID?! <3

It's certainly been a very strange and unpleasant year, finishing on an extremely sour note. However, some very, very wonderful and beautiful music has been released despite this, helping elevate one's spirit above the noise and dismal situation our planet is facing.

I didn't celebrate new year (a pint with my pal was it)...but earlier in the evening I made myself record this 2.5 hour mix of some of my favourite ambient and downtempo music of the year.

It includes Saeko Killy, Ramzi, XIII, Michal Turtle, Alek Lee, Quade, Pieter Kock, Secret Circuit, Erik Wollo, Ssiege, Jon Keliehor & Signy Jakobsdottir, Greville & The Lonely Voices, Finis Africae, Khidja, Froid Dub, Sign Libra, Habitat Ensemble, Simplists, The Black Frame, Kane Ikin, MD Pallavi & Andi Otto, Claire Rousay, Deep Nalstrom, Juna, Severin Black, Peter Power, Shakali and maybe a few others.

Leave a comment if you can't ID something and I'll try and answer. Mostly played from vinyl with a few exceptions.

Wishing you all a good 2024. Let's get together and make our voices heard!!!

Mix of the Week #524: Menqui & Akvilina - Islands In Space

“This edition of Pingipung’s Outsiders residency at Kiosk comes from Peter Presto, the artist who kicked off the label in 2002 with its first release. 

Pingipung 001 was the “Es ist Sommer EP” showcasing four playful Dub Electronica tracks recorded during a hot summer in France. The man behind the project is Nils Dittbrenner who founded the label with this release. 

His DJ mix digs into some influential tunes of the founding days, as well as some gems from the Pingipung catalogue.”

As the musician Mathew Halsall was unable to find a suitable label for his releases, he founded his own music label 'Gondwana Records' in Manchester in 2008. The label is now regarded as the nucleus of the young jazz scene in Manchester and is home to musicians from the UK, Belgium, Poland, USA, Australia and Scandinavia, among others. This results in an exciting contemporary spectrum of spiritual meditative jazz, neo-classical and ambient-electronic crossover. We introduce you to some of the label's artists and projects: Chip Wickam, GoGo Penguin, Mammal Hands, Paradise Cinema, Sunda Arc, Hania Rani, ...

The Endless Tape Machine #20 - Label Showcase: Gondwana Records

First hour at the last Almost Exotic event at Sameheads where i've hosted Odopt & Lily Haz.

"First and last hours of parties are always my favourite to play, and in this particular one i enjoyed playing my "Empty Dancefloor" folder off my stick, playing some of my favourite songs and rhythms to a an empty space, infusing it with the vibrations and energies, building it up to the spark that will ignite the party. You can consider this hour as the buildup, i dunno. Enjoy"

Live Session w/ Greg Foat

Playing the piano since the age of 10, Greg Foat is called one of the leading jazz pianists and composers in the UK. Inspired early on by the English pianist Gordon Beck, Foat decided to devote his life to jazz music and composed and released around 28 albums in the last 12 years evolving effortlessly from soul-jazz fusions to cinematic, haunting compositions, pastoral acid folk and electronic soundscapes. In recent years Foat has recorded for Jazzman Records, Athens Of The North and Strut and collaborated with a diverse selection of musicians, including Bob Lind, Moses Boyd, Gigi Masin, Ayo Salawu, Curtis Lundy, The Kooks and many more. 
In our conversation, Foat shares about how he got into jazz music and how records played an essential part in his development as a musician and composer.

In late July Futte Rico from Kopenhagen's Worldy crew came by and we did a spontaneous recording while playin' records to each other. Greece, Martinique, Jamaica, Panama, Kenya, Nigeria, Dahomey, Benin, Ghana, Mali, Guadeloupe, Trinidad and Haiti were our destinations on the musical map that evening. A little journey back in time.
