Running Hot Radio w/ Automaticamore  - April 2021

New mix comes from Darshan Jesrani !

Based in Brooklyn, we dare to say Darshan is a true NYC legend with more than 25 years of djing and producing quality music under many aliases. 

You all know, or should, the cult Darshan's project “Metro Area” on Environ, with his teammate Morgan Geist, who captured the very best of the crossover between house music and disco.
In solo, he produced records as Darshan Jesrani, Cylinder, Funn City or Acronym City. He's also part of Siren alongside Dennis Kane with many releases on Compost Records. Can't name all the projects and collaborations...
He also made plenty of remixes for the likes of Hugh Masekela, Tracey Thorn (Everything But The Girl) , Escort, Mock & Toof etc etc...
He also runs his own Startree label since 2013.
But enough blabla and name dropping, let the music talk !

MM Cast 03: RAFA

Spanish born dj, Rafa has built thru the years a vast knowledge of electronic (and not electronic) music, this obsessed digger has one of the most "well-handpicked" record collections in Berlin. His addiction to vinyls is well reflected on his sets where Rafa vary from Balearic to House, elektro, wave and some (almost) forgotten gems.

If we talk about Rafa we must mention "Way to Calypso", what it started as a brand of selected dj mixes where the Balearic Beat was the main character, evolved into an amazing youtube channel where to get lost in. A notorious music library made for the ones who loves to discover new music every day and where our friend Rafa shows a little slice of his huge record collection.

He has signed some mixes for infamous label and radio "Cómeme" where the spanish dj shows his skills entering in darker territories as Trance, new beat and synth wave.

Rafa has shared the booth with dj's from the likes of Vladimir Ivkovic, JASS and Estimulo to name a few and, last but not least, he is also one of the minds behind the berliner party collective "Ceremony", brand that has earned itself a great reputation on the underground local scene.

A man who feels the music in a different way, basically wakes up and goes to bed with some beat in his hears, constantly moving forward on the long way to Calypso.

About the mix: 
For this mix I took a dive into meditative club music. A whole lot from the early to mid 90s, a few classics with a couple of newer bits peppered in. Mostly CD's. A few ambient people trying their hand at tribal downtempo stuff, some left-of-center house and new beat, a couple of trance tracks and a few peak-time rave goodies. Mostly pitched down to a slightly more manageable speed ;)

Ep 252 w/ Gee Dee (US)

In our never ending quest to meet as many peers as we possibly can across an ever-expanding planetary soundscape, we have managed to get acquainted to the work of a multitude of fantastic people whose devotion to not only seeking but sharing the wealth of sonic treasures the globe holds resonates deeply with our mission. The same that fuels this series and has helped us cover a vast geographical area as well as discover many musical eras in our encounters. This one, for instance, brings us closer to the talents of a young French ensemble whose collective efforts have unearthed precious gems to cut them into gorgeous edits and place them in stunning jewels such as the selection we present here. Pompelope's passionate multifront work involves most things that connects us to all kinds of music in order to generate those special pleasures we hold dearest, from lively events to selling and distributing fantastic records, but also putting together delightful compilations such as the much lauded "Foule Contact" and this voyage of a mix. Fraîcheur française dans une saveur globale.

Sound Metaphors Mix Series 04 : Piers Harrison

We are going absolute bananas about our latest music connoisseurs. The heavy duty diggers from @balearicbanana bring you one hour of finest delights to keep it nice and slow. 🦦🍌Tasty!

↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH BALEARIC BANANA ↓ ↓ ↓

Q: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

A: Hey guys, thank you for inviting us, it’s a pleasure to be a part of your lovely series :)
After trying to prepare a lot for mixes over the time, we realized we don’t really work that way and where never satisfied with the result. So nowadays we discovered a ritual that works out really well with us. For this mix we looked into our collection for new digs that could suit the podcast vibe, grabbed a cold beer, lighted up a cosmic incense and just let the vibe flow ^^

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

A: We don’t really have a record in this mix that we assosiate with a special story, but we now can say that the whole mix will forever give us a very nostalgic feeling since we had the opportunity to play many of the records played in the mix at a festival in the Ukrainian mountains, at the self care & tea floor. It was the fist time for us to play sitting down, and it was a very special experience <3

Q: Do you have a special digging process and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in a Record?

A: I wouldn’t say that we have any kind of special digging process. We just love to go digging, so we try to go to flea markets and record shops as much as we can. Always having eyes wide open for the unexpected 

Q: One record you will never let go, and one that doesn’t want to leave your wantlist?

A: It’s not actually a record, but a cd, it was unfortunately
never sold on Discogs :( 
It’s from a Brazilian band called Karnak, the ep is “Comendo uva na chuva(faraó mix)” which translates as “eating grapes in the rain”
I’ve even tried contacting the band and it’s manager without any success, so if anyone out there has this file, it would make me extremely happy!

Q: Music bonds people together. Any local heros/crews/parties/shops/... you would like to shout out? 

A: Big s/o to Deniz Arslan from small talk who is making one of our favorite parties in Berlin! Also to our brother Gilberto from isle of wax, to Dave & Mark + the whole Fandango crew who kindly invited us to play in their amazing festival in Ukraine. And one big S/O to a not so local hero, our fabulous sister, queen from the ctw podcast, Mimi <3
