MFM: Hi Ana, welcome aboard the series. How's your been summer so far?

CM: Hi. Thank you! Today, I came back from We Out Here, very inspired and happy. So, right now I would say this summer I have been very lucky. I was able to travel, to play in many nice parties, and festivals with lovely crowds (big and small), met many of my friends, and made new friends.

MFM: You're originally from Saltillo, Mexico. Can you tell us a bit about growing up there?

CM: It is a city in the north of Mexico. Desert and mountains. Quite a big city. My parents are very musical people and I grew up surrounded by music and family and friends. My mom and dad always made efforts to inspire us, triggered our curiosity and they love road trips so we traveled a lot in Mexico when I was a kid.

MFM: I've read you left your studies in Mexico and moved to Europe. What was the reason for this change?

CM: I finished my university studies (Education Science and Psychology) and literally, the day after I got my diploma ( 22nd of June) I left and have been living in Europe since then. I always wanted to travel and get to know other places. When I was 18, I went to Berlin with my friend Olga, and I fell in love with the city immediately. I was very determined to go and live there. I felt it was the city and energy I needed at that time: it worked out, with a 4 years diversion through London.

MFM: Mexico knows a different culture and traditions when compared to Europe. What would you say are the main differences?

CM: At the beginning the differences were very strong to me: food, weather, people, shops, now 11 years later, the biggest difference are the daily life worries. For example, In Amsterdam, I rarely feel unsafe in the street. There are more opportunities to develop, grow and do what you love, without worrying about your personal safety or so much corruption. In Mexico, the weather and nature are amazing. The food and the warmth of the people is something I miss quite often.

MFM: This year saw your compilation 'Club Coco' being released in collaboration with Swiss label Les Disques Bongo Joe and which features all new music. How did you get to this particular selection of artists and songs?

CM: The first song I wanted to include was “A big Brain” by my friend Nic Mauskovic because I felt this had to be out there. That was what initiated the project and I curated it thinking of a line up... Imagine having all these bands together! Most of the bands are my friends or I have worked with them, it went naturally and felt very familiar.

MFM: It also includes a track of yourself, which is a highly rhythmic percussive work out with lots of brass and your vocals dubbed on top. Can you show a bit of insight in the writing and recording process of the song? Did you work with live musicians for example?

CM: The initiative was from my friend Max Weissenfeldt. He is a brilliant musician, composer and runs the label Philophon. We want to make a Jazz album. This is our first song and we recorded it in Berlin. Then he moved to Ghana, I moved to Amsterdam. And the pandemic hit. I have not seen him since january 2020! Max recorded the music with a live band in Ghana and their names are Pitches, Osei and Kung Fu´u. 

MFM: Do you have more ambition in producing your own works? Perhaps there's something in the pipeline already? 
Would love to finish that jazz album with Max, while he is in Ghana: we will work on the distance. 

MFM: Google Translate says the title 'Me Veo Volar' means 'I See Myself Fly'. Is there a nice story behind the title maybe? :)

CM: “Me veo volar” is about getting rid of fears that weigh you down… and making space for what you really want and take off! At that time I was having some realizations :)

Roberto B (@2roberto2) and I are glad to present our final track "Fly with Us 7", in our now completed album "Fly with Us". It was composed by Roberto B on 20 September 2024 in MAGIX (initial composition, recording, arrangement and mix) and Alex M on 22 May 2025 in Logic Pro using AKAI keyboard midi input controller (subsequent composition, recording, arrangement and mix), with a final mix and recording on 8 June 2025 by Roberto B (in MAGIX), and released here on SoundCloud this Sunday afternoon (in Europe), 15 June 2025, together with the release of the whole album to follow in minutes. We hope you'll enjoy our new concept album in its entirety.

Fly with Us 7 - Roberto B & Alex M

After a prolonged break, our podcast is back with the long-awaited 150 episode! Our special guest co-founded @beachfreaksrecords and has one of the deepest collections of obscure vinyl from the 1970s and 1980s in Europe. His passion turned into one of my fave compilations this year, Club Meduse on Spacetalk, 13 hazy, soft-focus and life-affirming cuts that you would have heard at resort discos in the mid-to-late 1980s. His last mix dated 2015, so we’re here to listen something really special. Turn on your heaters as we’re headed down south one last time this year. Lush, humid jungles, red emeralds and purple sunsets. The Balearic Islands, the Côte D’Azur, the Greek Cyclades, Africa, Japan, the Brazilian rainforest and a quick dance in Miami. Lean back for a drift ambiantale.
