Duration: 2 h 9 min 4 s
Description: Recorded live at Cala Zingaro, Milano Marittima, Italy.

In a world where attention spans are constantly under siege by a myriad of distractions, the search for a reliable source of quality music can often feel like navigating a vast, unpredictable sea. In this era of inconsistency, there are shining beacons of reliability. One such beacon, which has consistently graced our monthly selections of favorite mixes, is the music platform Truants.
Truants has been a steadfast provider of top-tier music, a sanctuary where music enthusiasts can find solace in the promise of quality content. Among the architects of this musical haven is the talented and eclectic Riccardo Villella, a London-based designer and DJ renowned for his exceptional taste and mixing skills.
Today, we are thrilled to present to you this special mix, meticulously crafted by none other than Riccardo Villella himself. We vividly recall the moment we first encountered this mix – a serendipitous drive through the picturesque Spanish landscapes, rewinding our way from the Paral.lel festival to Barcelona. It was the perfect soundtrack to soothe our souls after an unforgettable weekend amidst the mountains. Mixes of this caliber have a unique power, a lasting resonance that ensures they become cherished companions, revisited time and time again.

Before we dive into this fabulous journey that Riccardo has curated for us, this is what Riccardo said in his own words about the process behind this remarkable mix: "It took me a little while to think of a direction to go in this. I've always loved the style and atmosphere to a lot of the mixes and tracks that get posted on Delayed but knew I didn't really want to record a techno or house mix. So I ended up putting lots of tracks on a half-time tip that evoked strong emotions of nostalgia and a hopeful sadness. I got to an hour of tracks and felt like I had perfect passage into more clubby double time stuff to round off the later stages of the mix. So there's a big switch half way through but hope it's seamless in essence. Some amazing tracks in there from some artists that are really doing it for me at the moment such as Morgan Wright, Cousin, Vardae, Downstairs J, Sobolik and Tom VR."

IDO, or Intercontinental Dance Organization, is a new venture from Valentino Mora and Matthieu Amila. Mora formerly went by French Fries and ran with the ClekClekBoom crew, crafting club bangers with heart and soul. Now releasing records under his given name, his tracks join a lineage of soulful deep house that goes back to the 1990s - see this recent feature for a sense of his interests and influences. Amila, meanwhile, is part of Altered Soul Experiment, a party and tape series that focuses on the art of digging, drawing lines between jazz, boogie, disco and funk to the kind of deep house that Mora is making today. To date they've put out one release, from Mora himself, and there's more due soon. For our 162nd Truancy Volume they've put together a lengthy b2b mix that touches on a variety of reference points, from dub techno to ultra-deep house, with sexual frisson running throughout. They also answered some questions about how they met, the importance of spirituality in music and the future of IDO.

Truancy Volume 163: Valentino Mora & Amila

Written & Produced by Richie Hawtin

Released in conjunction with EPOK event in Detroit, USA on December 31, 1999.
