Brilliant, Maaike. First thing I did this morning (after feeding the cats) was listen to this again. I hadn't even had a cup of coffee yet!

Moonshine Afro Mix Pt2

A deep and spicy dance journey which mixes Greek folk, global dancehall, psychedelia, oriental slow rave, trance music from Mali & Kenya, afro house, kuduro, film music & field recordings from the city & countryside of Crete. The trip starts and ends at the market in Timbaki, a village in the south of Crete. The sea between rocks, a peaceful stream in a botanical garden, a solitary owl and crickets all make appearaces in this groove tale.. which travels from the drowsy last days of summer into te fiery first chapter of autumn.

DJ Socrates spend a month in the South of Crete camping in the mountains, harvesting olives, recording soundscapes, and gathering fresh musical inspiration. This is a snapshot of all the vibes, spices sounds and colours he took home.

Echoes from the gorge

The sun is setting and the leaves have fallen. The birds sing their last songs. After a peaceful rest, the grass is now getting moist. The air is cooling down, you long for a fire to warm your feet. Maybe dance a little to get the blood flowing again. Let the robbers daughter guide you.. she knows the forest.

The Robbers Beautiful Daughter

This is a very old song out of the Yoruban & Santeria traditions - Nigeria, Cuba, & Brazil. I learned recently that it is about those who serve the Orisha Oshun (sometimes Osun) and the brass bracelets they wore that Oshun asked them to rattle. This somehow managed to be mistakenly interpreted and shared by myself and many others as “necklace of love,”  perhaps due to the devotees adoration of the Orisha.  Oshun embodies love and sexuality  and one of her elements is brass, which never rusts. One writer shares "To understand Osun is to know the intelligence, vitality, caring and nourishing abilities of womankind. Long-suffering, cheated, overlooked, and over-worked, but always committed to the survival of humanity. Besides signifying wealth, brass never rusts, it is eternal. In Osun, we have the embodiment of prosperity, love, beauty, elegance, sexuality and sensuality and a divinely sanctioned feminist. 

This is a traditional song in the public domain. Choral arrangement copyright Lisa G. Littlebird, instrumental arrangement and guitar recorded by Aimee Ringle.

Lula Pena - Rose

lapislazuli

Taken from Aksak Maboul's new 'Un Caïd EP', this track is a self-reconstruction of 'Un Caïd', which starts off as a remix and morphs into a totally wild new piece, with newly recorded vocals, keys and horns 

The EP comes out on Dec 11 and will also contain remixes by Hello Skinny, Spooky J, Jordan Fields x Marc Hollander, plus a radio edit of the track, which appeared on the legendary experimental pop band’s acclaimed double album 'Figures'. 

Vocalist Véronique Vincent’s enigmatic lyrics for 'Un Caïd' (“A Bigshot”) seem to reference a famous poet, maybe the bossy leader of an artistic movement born a century ago? But they’re mostly about thought, stares, eyes and eyelids (as illustrated in the upcoming music video).
