Now this is something special: While our mixes normally aim at an average length of one hour, Pingipung artist (Mameen 3) and veteran leftfield selector soFa elsewhere presents almost 3,5 hours of pure joy. Here is what he says himself about this beauty:

"This collection of tracks has been inspired by a psychedelic trip near a lake in Portugal last year. It's meant to be the soundtrack of a sunny and funny afternoon of visual hallucinations and much laughing somewhere near water. Along the way it will also serve a normal day of holidays in the sun. Sip a cocktail near the beach and let yourself fade away with this magic tropical potpourri. Expect oddities from the most diverse corners in time and space."

Pingipung Podcast 153: soFa elsewhere - Music To Have Mushrooms On The Beach

Second track from the album "Baba Soirée" 
Release: Oct 27 

Two visionary maestros, Pierre Bastien and Michel Banabila, unite in their first collaborative album, Baba Soirée. The veterans of electronic music bring their unique expertise to the table, resulting in a captivating fusion of experimental styles. Bastien’s mechanical loops and experimental instrumental setups merge seamlessly with Banabila's sound design and impeccable skills of sampling collages. It's not a dance party, nor is it an avant-garde intervention. It's a soirée: a cultivated evening of sonic alchemy hosted by these two charismatic gentlemen.

Pierre Bastien is a composer and multi-instrumentalist with a background in French literature. He has spent decades crafting an idiosyncratic world of experimental sound with his self-built mechanical orchestra Mecanium. It was most notably showcased in audiovisual releases on Aphex Twin's Rephlex label. Bastien's creations are a mesmerizing combination of traditional instruments (he has a vast collection) and mechanical automatons. The violin in the track Rotomotor, for example, is physically played by one of his machines. In Baba Soirée, Bastien also plays a prepared cornet (Slow Dance, Banbas Aura), infusing the recordings with a breathy, dreamy dimension.

Michel Banabila, a sound artist, composer and producer, possesses an eclectic musical repertoire that defies genres. His seamless blend of minimal electronica, tribal ambient, and neo-classical influences has earned him a prominent place in the world of experimental music, and an impressive discography (Knekelhuis, Bureau B, Séance Center, a.o.). Banabila serves as the creative sampling editor for Baba Soirée, expertly weaving together the recordings to craft an evocative sonic tapestry.

The two share a curiosity for traditional instruments from various cultures. The instruments used in the recordings are shown in the cover artwork. A mutual admiration for each other's work paved the way for this fruitful artistic partnership of the Rotterdam-based artists: Collaborating on a single as a fundraiser for Yemen in 2022 set the stage for the creation of Baba Soirée.

For Pierre Bastien, Dada, Fluxus and International Situationism have played a significant role in shaping his artistic vision. The title Baba Soirée is an homage to Kurt Schwitters and Theo van Doesburg's "Kleine Dada Soirée" collaboration which took place exactly a century ago. There's an unmistakable stoicism and an anarchic not-giving-a-f*** attitude in these recordings by Bastien & Banabila, which resonates in the light of this Dada reference.

Blue Sun Radio Play vol. 11 by Y Bülbül

“I was 2190 km away from where the smoke came up, but fortunately
everything went well and she put out the fire in time. Last night I brought
my stuff to the laundry for the first time again.

When I think about it, it became a rather dark story of temporary
soundtracks about being lost alone on an infinitely long street hoping for
the repairman to come and fix everything. It took me a while to bring all
this together and make a sense out of it, especially because of the chicken
sounds. Sometimes it is not that easy to catch the feeling of a certain
time while living in it. It seems like the waves of moments have increased
their frequency lately and somehow things that were just recently fixed
burned down again. The guy from my street told me that he would sell me a
washing machine that does not burn down my apartment. So that at least is
some kind of progress.“

Pingipung Podcast #160 is online and we are happy to have Infuso Giallo aka Philipp Carbotta on board. The Berlin resident runs the label Kame House, designs graphics, produces and plays leftfield electronic music. His output presents an intersection of these activities – self-released, self-designed and self-produced.

Philipp on his mix: "I got the idea for the mix when I received a letter from the Magdeburg police because I was speeding in a 100kmh zone. So in order to redeem myself, I strictly adhered to the speed limit in this mix, while traveling through a very diverse musical landscape. I hope that this will make the fine notice obsolete. All gas – no brakes!"

Enjoy this great mix!

Now this one is special for us: Strobocop aka Thorsten Lütz is the head honcho of the Karaoke Kalk label. And the records Thorsten put out at the turn of the century in Cologne were a big influence for us in starting our own label Pingipung. We are thinking about artists such as Wunder / Wechsel Garland, März, Takagi Masakatsu, Fumble / Kandis, Donna Regina or Hausmeister. 

And Karaoke Kalk still releases lovely records today by artists as diverse as Rolf Hansen, Mimsy, Golden Diskó Ship or The National Jazz Trio of Scotland. Thank you Thorsten. For your influence and this beautiful mix.  

Thorsten says thank you as well:

To Tim Xavier (https://soundcloud.com/timxavier) for your time and a lovely evening. 

To Jan Gazarra (https://soundcloud.com/forgotten-birds) for showing me the catchy tune by Mike Oldfield
