Where is our guest DJ taking us today in musical history? New York, 1978? The French Riviera in the early 00s? Detroit in the mid-80s?

There have been iconic scenes abound in Dance music's colorful past, and today our good friend Steve Obi is taking us right back to Madchester's summer of love in 1988. 

Beefed up disco basslines hidden behind bars of gorgeous tribal percussion, with smatterings of acid and Hip-Hop breaks. It was an iconic year where House jetted across the pond, arriving in Europe and being changed forever. What was a niche underground genre in America would become the defining sound of the following decade for most of the Old World. So, sit back or jump and get involved in the most pulsating history lesson you've ever had.

MBE #29: Steve Obi - Building Blocks

By the poolside. Belonging to the beach. Cocktails to delight and glamour that shines. Tobes' style is freshly iced with groove stamina and a cherry on top. Lacing up, it's time to dive in, whether that's the cocktail, the pool, or even grabbing some piercing eyes on the dance floor.

Shake and groove with class, swing in and out with carelessness, and soak in the rays of the Paradise Jukebox.

Sailing through the vast labyrinth of the underworld and past the glacial rocks,  his victory over the Sirens was a distant memory. A story to tell around campfires when he was to return home. After some hours, a luminous green guided Orpheus into the terrifying chasm for which he sought. He was met by Hades's machiavellian smile who knew he would come for his wife but had no intention of giving her up.

Suddenly, Orpheus brandished his golden lyre and enraptured Hades with a melody so beautiful it could end wars. Orpheus's wife would be returned to him but on one condition: He may not lay eyes on her until they leave the underworld. Being the great traveler that Orpheus was, he accepted these conditions without hesitation and set off with his wife by his side.

Hours turned to days, and he could not find the glacial rocks that marked his way, and Hades's wicked laugh sounded in the deep. Days would turn into weeks, and weeks months, and soon it became clear that he would spend the rest of eternity wandering the underworld with his wife so close, yet so far.

Mike Wallis is a South African creative with house music as his round the clock soundtrack. As a music journalist he has a keen ear for unearthing hidden stories and regularly contributes to platforms like Red Bull Music, as well as running his own locally focused platform www.deepstreet.co.za. His selections as a DJ lean towards deep and soulful, a sound he grew up with in his hometown of Pretoria, but further encompass sounds of ambient, afro, dub, melodic, indie dance and anywhere in between.

This mix is a movement from some of the deeper sides of Mike Wallis's taste, to the more indie dance, disco orientated styles his palette is growing into. A mixture of South African and European tastes & flavours.

The ‘De La…’ series asks artists to choose a certain provenance - be it a country, community, town, artist, or label - and make a 1 hour mix highlighting what they love about the music.

—————

“I’ve chosen to record a mix to reflect the iconic South African Gumba/Synth Pop sound of the 80s and 90s. The term derives from ‘gumba gumba’ and later became ‘gumba fire’, referring to the boom of speakers during parties in South African townships. Not only do I adore of this style of music but I think it’s important to step out of what you know and to research, celebrate and appreciate music from across the globe.

In essence it’s a window into different cultures and times, and more often than not it’s a great way to grow and expand your taste, while gaining insight into new and interesting scenes that deserve more recognition. The fact South Africa was able to produce such great music during a time as suppressive and horrible as apartheid is a real credit to their people.

The first Gumba track I heard was ‘stages’ by Don Laka, which has gained much deserved recognition after its success featuring on Hunee’s “Hunchin’ All Night’ put out by Rush Hour. It was actually a friend of mine (Diogo/Caldo Verde) who is a selector in Portugal who first showed me the track and the ‘Gumba Fire’ compilation album while I was working there a couple years back. 

The contribution of black artists to the music industry is so significant I can’t even begin to try to explain it. This is a drop in the ocean, but I think the (mostly) black south African artists that built this genre deserve more recognition, especially in the UK, maybe this can help…”

For context, commercial airplanes generally take off at 240-285km/h - so the Tomahawk is one pretty quick bike. The fastest route from sunrise to sunset on the planet.

Jaguars, macaws, and kinkajous move in tandem, ushering you into their jungle abode, their stalking, shuffling, and jumping, swayful and giddying at every turn. Taking a step back you notice something different up top.

These might not seem the most exciting creatures at first but sloth's slow movement and dreary eyes tell a different story if you watch them long enough. While the more alluring animals of the woods dizzy their guests with erratic movement, our unhurried friends dance ever so slightly, hypnotizing, bewitching, and enchanting all that watch. 

You didn't trek all this way to watch this strange, graceless animal get down like this, and yet here you are. Your mouth ajar, eyes wide open, and heart-pounding in time.

"This mix is an ode to some of the themes & ideas that I find oh so interesting & real. Things like: existentialism, white guilt, finding your reason to live, being stuck, waiting, the dark of night, lucid dreaming, being blind with 20/20 vision, the stories we tell about ourselves, being like water. I'm sure any listener on Earth can relate to some of these elements, and maybe they'll enjoy the music too." -klåytrộn

𝗠𝗕𝗘. Founded and engineered in Asia.

Blasting electronic transmissions from South East Asia and beyond with productions, mixes, and events. We aim to shine some light on the music scene and give talents a platform to share their creativity. We have our club side (MBE) and kitchen groovers (SLOWLY) to reach each corner. Enjoy!
