The Endless Tape Machine #3 - Hot Barbecue

by @magicmuelli & @madlubi

This edition is dedicated to the island of Jamaica and the music played there from 1965 to 1975. When the island was hit by an enormous heat wave at the end of the 60s, legend has it that the fast ska beat developed into a more slow-going sound - rocksteady. What we all associate with the style reggae was to follow a little later. In this issue we play almost exclusively tunes from the defining sound systems and labels of this period - Prince Buster, Studio One / Coxsone & Treasure Isle.

This episode takes us to Latin America to the popular sound of cumbia. The traditional folk dance draws its origins from African rhythms that were established by colonial slaves in Colombia, later mixed with indigenous and Spanish elements from there and spread further. Our show travels from 1954 to 2019 through Colombia, Peru & Panama where this music is still popular today. Mainly represented, the label 'Discos Fuentes' the powerhouse of Colombian music, still highly sought after by record collectors today. Plus the legendary groups Los Mirlos & Los Destellos from Peru along with sunny highlights from Panama.

Our tribute to Wayne Shorter - one of the most influential jazz saxophonists of the 20th century. He came to music at 16 via the clarinet, listening to Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk and Charlie Parker. During his studies in art and music, Shorter played in the New York jazz clubs and made contacts with the scene here. Initially engaged in the ensemble of 'Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers', his friend and admirer John Coltrane introduced him to Miles Davis. In the latter's formation with Tony Williams, Ron Carter and Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter developed his free form of playing from 1964-1969 and established himself as a composer. In addition to his own solo projects, he founded the pioneering fusion band 'Weather Report' in 1970 with Joe Zawinul and Miroslav Vitouš. Wayne Shorter (1933-2023) leaves us music history, inspiration and passionate enthusiasm for the saxophone.

'Harry Smith's Complete Anthology of American Folk Music', published in 1952 on the Smithsonian Folkways label, presents an extensive research and collection on the history of US folk music from the southern states from 1926-1942, which continues to inspire musicians and artists today.

Harry Smith, a formative figure in the New York beat scene of the 1950s, understood music as a spiritual contemporary witness to the relationship between people and their lives. He was not interested in the distinction between elitist blues and lowbrow hilbilly that was common at the time. He wanted the listeners to feel the beauty of the music and discover it for themselves individually.

We are dedicating our anniversary show to Chris Brick, whom we met in his shop in Cardiff in 2008. This encounter continues to inspire us in many ways to this day.

Smylonylon (pronounced SMILE-on-NY-lon) was a vintage clothing boutique in downtown Manhattan. It opened in 1994 on Crosby Street. The shop was owned and operated by Chris Brick (of Family of God and Demob Clothing) and his wife Judy (singer Linda Lamb), who happened upon a large stash of vintage clothing from the 1970s in 1993. Certainly their eclectic taste in music influenced the atmosphere of the shop, perhaps even more than the clothes, and Chris collaborated with his friend Alex Gloor (In Flagranti) to tirelessly produce mixtapes of their rare record collections, ranging from South American exotica and French orchestral music to Italo disco, musique concrete and minimal synth.

There are 30 volumes of mixtapes titled Smylonylon, and others titled Tynyny, named after a legendary party in the West Village hosted by the shop's crew.

This version is without the spoken parts, just the music.

Balearic is generally associated with atmospheric dance music, which has been played by DJs mainly on Ibiza since the mid-1980s. We are both great lovers of the Balearic Islands and present here a personal selection of classics as well as our own interpretation of the genre... music that takes us back to the beaches of these islands.

In the history of music, the drumset initially functioned in the background of the band setting as a framing and space-creating rhythm instrument. In the 50s and 60s, drummers liberated their playing and developed their own interpretations with which they created individual moments of tension and thus allowed the drums to come to the fore as a melody instrument. This development reached its peak in the late 60s, when many progressive and psychedelic rock bands integrated sprawling drum solos into their songs. We introduce you to pioneering drummers such as Max Roach, Art Blakey, Billy Cobham, Ginger Baker and Mike Clark.

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, ...
