After relocating to New York, Joseph Richard spent the better part of a decade immersed in the cities rich record culture. Initially inspired by what other collectors were seeking out or playing at the time, he soon became completely consumed in the search to uncovering records that were still well off most peoples radar. Wanting an opportunity to share his finds with other enthusiasts, Joe started Good Sound record shop, a finely curated online store where you can find an abundance of goodies of which many will be unknown to your ears. This free flowing hour is a showcase of Joe’s new found interests in AOR, Folk and Soft Rock that have arisen since a recent move back to California. Let this one ease you into the warmer weather.

LIFE CLASSICS 50 JOSEPH RICHARD

@rawqueen

Shuffling across the field of Modern Soul, Gospel and Disco, Raw Queen steps in to close out the warmer months. With his ears drawn to the more obscure soulful sounds of the late 70’s to early 80’s, the Paris-based collector weaves together an hour of recent finds alongside some go to picks from the shelves. Bouncing through a range of tempos, this one gives a lift at anytime of the day.

LIFE CLASSICS 53 RAW QUEEN

To kick off our brand new mix series it's a pleasure to welcome one of Holland's finest selectors 'Tache' aka Bart Eichholtz. 

An avid collector of tropical grooves from all over the world, his record collection spans from soulful 70's music, to club orientated 90's grooves from the Caribbean, Africa, South America and beyond. 

Playing across estbalished venues such as MONO, BIRD, Keilecafe and more - Tache was one of the minds behind the late L'Afrique Discotheque parties and has always euphorically lit up dancefloors across Rotterdam!

It's truly a pleasure to welcome him on for a one hour journey through digs found in Paris featuring various soundscapes with music from the French Antilles, Cabe Verde and Angola to name a few. 

Sit back and float away to the tropics xx

Discothèque Tropicale Presents: Tache

While I consider myself to be a quite okay music curator, I bow down before a man like @propjoemusicforears because this guy remains a true expert when it comes to selecting proper tunes, surprising the audience and creating very cohesive vibes with his DJ sets. After being recently invited to be part of his legendary “Music For Ears” series (https://soundcloud.com/propjoemusicforears/music-for-ears-32-burnout-sumner-the-messy-mix) I’m now more than happy to return the favour by having the man from Sydney over for his very own edition of my “Messy Mix” series.

His one-hour set is less about big musical storytelling but more about creating a very specific vibe which he fittingly labelled “Irrational International”. This set is also a little different than Prop Joe’s usual style, being more European, Arabic & Caribbean. Usually he’s always up for strolling down the hip hop, street soul / reggae path but avoided that inherent temptation in favour of something more surprising. However, the mix keeps that vibrant smooth 80s/90s retro character which I come to love about his sets and the whole “Music For Ears” series. It’s a celebration of music, especially the one that’s harder to find. And I think that’s what the job of a good curator/ DJ should be - finding those treasures, putting them in a great setting and giving the audience a good time. And let me tell you - this set is definitely giving me a good time.

It’s the perfect soundtrack for hot summer days, pool parties and other social hangouts with your loved ones these days. Please give it a spin. The Messy Mix series is now taking a well deserved break before it’ll return in the fall. Until then, please enjoy the existing sets so far.

Club Coco - Coco Maria & Charlie Chimi - 19 Jul 2024

I’m thrilled to have one of my favourite new artists from the past years on board for this new Messy Mix. Emily Underhill aka https://soundcloud.com/tusks has been releasing wonderful albums full of sinister, sensual and soulful songs throughout the past seven years. Her most recent album “Gold” from earlier this year is a wonderful meditative experience and Tusks is also dropping a few alternative versions of songs from it in the form of the “Gold For Synths And Strings” EP on November 1st via @onelittleindierecords.

Emily’s music is quite emotional, so it makes sense that her Messy Mix is dedicated to these emotions and feelings as she also explains to me: “This is my feels mix - it includes tracks that deeply move, inspire and relax me on a day to day basis and make life just feel that extra bit more beautiful and intense. I always find myself gravitating towards really emotive music with a lot of texture and a certain feeling of darkness; which I think all these tracks have in common.” 

It’s a perfect soundtrack as the days are getting shorter, delivering 50 meditative minutes that not only include songs by Tusks but also ones from Sassy_009, Chanel Beads and Shida Shahabi whose album “Living Circle” Tusks is completely obsessed at the moment. That’s a fitting closing track of this sweet set and you should not miss the journey towards it. Tusks is also on tour soon and that’s an experience I can strongly recommend as well.

As some of you might have guessed by now I’m a dedicated fan of all things that you could label as “Balearic house”. There’s just something about those delicate tropical grooves that really resonates with me. That plays a huge part of my Burnout Sumner DJ alias and as a fan of that sub-genre I got in touch with a few fellow lovers of that paradisiac sound. Attila and Szilard from Budapest are such brothers in spirit and as @pleasurevoyage they’ve been delivering wonderful sets, remixes and own productions throughout the past years. You’ll have probably spotted tunes by them in some of my sets. Now, it’s time to shed an even brighter light on them.

Usually, Pleasure Voyage's feel-good music draws inspiration from their seaside journeys, but for Messy Mix, the guys decided to take a different route. Here’s how their “Mystical Forest Mix” came to be: 

“Szilard was gazing out of his window at the misty autumn forest and felt inspired by the scene. He suggested to Attila to use this as the theme for the mix. Attila, who’s also a talented photographer, then dove into his archives to find some fitting photos that support the vibe. The mix is an ethereal, floating journey that captures the mood of the changing seasons.”

I can confirm that there is a sweet late summer mood that runs throughout this one hour of blissful sounds. But the mix also feels like a distant memory to the warm season now that we’re approaching cold winter days. There’s some wonderful musical selections in there.  The opening track comes from Körút, a Hungarian project Pleasure Voyage recently co-produced. Its dreamy lyrics capture the bittersweet feeling of summer slipping away. So, what are you waiting for - join me and two gentlemen for this lovely fantasy trip.

Messy Mix 19 | The Mystical Forest Mix (by Pleasure Voyage)

It’s (almost) the end of the year and uff… what a wild one it has been. I mean it still is and you never really know what horrifying news is already waiting around the corner, right? Needless, to say - modern life can be quite exhausting and it surely has been for me personally throughout these past months. How do you keep your head up during these times? How do you remain hopeful? For me the sun plays a crucial part here. Because no matter how hard things are I know for sure that it will rise again the next day. And that also gives us the chance for a new beginning. And that’s the purest, simplest form of optimism one can have.

And since this is the 20th edition of my Messy Mix series I thought I’ve come up with a special set for this little milestone instead of another end-of-the-year-party-nux. This anniversary arrives in the form of a two-parted mixtape… One hour dedicated to the sunset, one hour to the sunrise. You can also enjoy them both together as one directly leads into the other, bound together by a shared soothing, calming and hopeful character.

There are plenty of personal favourites in both mixes, songs that really mean a lot to me. As we travel from the setting sun into the night we’re accompanied by The Antlers, DJ Koze, Metronomy, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Devendra Banhart, Der Assistent, Will Samson, Odd Beholder and a few more.

And in the end… it will be alright. I still like to believe that and I hope these two hours of sweet music will comfort you in troubled times. Thank you for not just enjoying these two new mixes but also for following my little Messy Mix project throughout the years. It’s such a wonderful little thing and I’m happy about all the artists that are part of it. I’ll surely continue this adventure in 2025 and I hope you’ll join me on this ride as well.
