MM Cast 01: POMPELOPE

We are very happy to welcome the guys from Pompelope for the first episode of our MM Casts. 

Pompelope was born out of the gatherings of a bunch of friends who had a passion for the four to the floor in the Belleville bargains basements. Party organizers and record pushers in their spare time, they distribute sets which range from house to disco and from downtempo to HI-NRG, as long as people dance.

Since this collaborative project from members of Limbe records, SeekSickSound and Sour records started their story, they've been releasing remarkable series of podcasts featuring artists from the likes of Tim Sweeney, Trepanado, Beppe Loda and Telephones among others.

One thing is more than clear, and that's the passion for music that this collective print on every single thing that they bring to the light. They've recently launched the first release as a label with an amazing "V.A" that includes astonishing works signed by Franz Scala, Running Hot, Hysteric, Volantis and Kito Jempere to name a few.

On this MM Cast 01 that the french guys have been cooking for us, downtempo with sunny-nostalgic vibes and polyrhythmic sounds will be the leitmotiv. A "dance not dance" mix that could be enjoyed either alone with headphones or in group that want to share gathering vibes.

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.

TRACKLIST:

1- Residentes Balearicos "Il Respiro"
2- Peyote Dreams "State of Mind" (Slack Mix) Roza Terenzi’s Slow Buck

MM Cast 02: COYOTE

Is it Balearic? Recordings' capos Timm Sure and Ampo have been on the "Balearic Scene" even before the word "Balearic" got fashionable some years ago.  They started as djs in the early 90's becoming residents at the historical "Venus" in Nottingham, it was in 2002 when they became producers and from then on they started producing tracks under the moniker Coyote, being responsable of notorious works signed on "International Feel", "Needwant" and "Music for Dreams" to name a few, and of course on their own imprint "Is It Balearic? Recordings"

Was in 2006 when "IIB?" started and since then, and a long with the sublabels "Über" and "Magic Wand", 15 years of pure Balearic Bliss where the "brithish-downtempo-maestros" have featured artists from the likes of Max Essa, Danielle Baldelli, Dj Rocca, Bonnie & Klein, Mori Ra and Anton Klint to name a few.

2021 has been a very prolific year for Coyote, delivering an amazing EP "Return to life" and another remixes ep of their LP "Buzzard Country", both records on "Is It Balearic? Recordings". They also have been working for MM Discos doing a magical rework of Bonnie & Klein's Albatros

The contribution of the Nottingham based producers to the scene is unquestionable and crucial, being a constant influence for dj's and producers who decided to move forward with the sound that artists like Dj Alfredo, Paul Oakenfold or Jose Padilla discovered back in the days from the "white Island" to rest of the world.

When we talk about their sound, a question comes to our head,,"Is it Balearic?", of course it is, but more than this, this is COYOTE Sound!!

TRACKLIST:
1. Chari Chari - Tokyo
2. When Doves Cry - Strange World
3. Gloden Bug Feat Liminanas - Variation Sur 3 Bancs (Superpitcher remix)
4. Begin Bassballs
5. Bjarno - Factor 30
6. The Barking Dogs Vs. Jessie Evans - Let me on (Rune Lindbaek & Mental Overdrive Mix)

8. The Very Polish Cut outs - Zaopiekujsiemna
9. Polocorp - Gnawa - (Dombrance remix)
10. Cosmic Garden - Aphrodisiaca

MM CAST 04: Franz Scala

From his studio at the (infamous) berliner club "Sameheads" , Franz Scala has been building with years a great reputation on the contemporary "Italo-Dance-scene", being the mind behind 2 essential labels as "Slow Motion" and "Wrong Era". Artists like "Fabrizio Mammarella", "Francisco" or "Rodion", to name a few, have been rising as a part of the Italian family that Scala has created with "Slow Motion".

Imprints as "Bordello A Parigi", "Tusk Wax", "Bahnsteig 23" or "MM Discos" have had the pleasure of hosting the Italian maestro, signing there remarkable records. Italian dance highly influenced by new wave, obscure synths and a little balearic touch.

MM CAST 20 - DJ SCM

Back to the purest Disco sound in our new episode of MM Cast, brought to you by Maurizio Schiró, also known as DJ SCM. Born in Palermo but based in Berlin, Maurizio has grown in the Berlin underground scene alongside his own imprint 'WATAJ,' through which he has released a significant number of tracks under different aliases like Enzo Conoga, Tony Pianola, Mariella Novanta, Mimmo Stella, and Santo Piccante. Records where disco and balearic go hand in hand, delivering a fresh, original, and highly addictive sound. Releases like ' Paesaggi Immaginary,' and the mini album ' Introducing Tony Pianola in Luce Artificiale' speak for themselves about DJ SCM's elegance, although undoubtedly 'Estoy Totalmente Loca por ti' was the record that definitively put him in the spotlight of the scene with that mix of 90's balearic and italian dream house that literally 'turned us crazy'

Without further ado, we present you with the universe of DJ SCM, more than an hour of pure Disco sound (only vinyl) well seasoned and influenced by his native Italy. Grab a "birra", feel yourself like being in Palermo and let's make the summer never ends.
