Larry Levan Live @ Gold, Tokyo (1992)(Manny'z Tapez)

Robert was our friend, and we miss him. It's difficult to put into words just what he meant to us. He was a mentor, an inspiration. Canada’s, and more specifically Montreal’s, disco deity. We won’t burrow into his biography, as it is extensive, and footnotes would simply not do him justice. Check out the Red Bull Music Academy video interview if you want to start to journey into who he was for yourself. We made this mix just a few days after he died. It is a cathartic, vastly imperfect, and quick expedition into his music. It merely scratches the surface of who he was, musically.

We connected through a party we were playing for Pride Toronto, after we suggested that he replace the divine Nicky Siano on the bill, as Nicky had to back out at the last minute. After that party, we played together a handful of times, both in his native Montreal and in Toronto, but we really became close through afternoons spent in his home studio, sharing songs. He was more passionate about music than anyone we’d ever met. He was in his seventies, some forty years our senior, but was a big kid really, and when we were together we were contemporaries. We loved taking him out to dinner, which happened about once a month, and hearing stories of his Limelight disco days, or of his experience making house music in the nineties. Or speaking to what it was like to be a seventy-odd something still making music and djing parties. He was always working on something. Always. We were so proud to help get a few of his edits out to the world, through connections with GAMM, Basic Fingers, and Whiskey Disco. He had so much music to share, and was constantly clamouring for us to send him edits for his radio shows, a request we complied to, often and happily. 

When the world stopped with Covid, we were no longer able to make it to Montreal. We’d chat over the internet, or do video calls, but, in hindsight, we could and should have stayed better connected. When the news of his passing broke, over a stranger's shared Facebook post of all places, we were breathless and in disbelief. We called his phone, over and over again, putting our faith in the unreliability of social media, but he didn’t answer. Shortly after, a text came from his phone, from a friend of his, confirming the news. The hardest part was knowing that those dinners were over. No more advice and no more shared wisdom. The promise of another party to play together was to be left unfulfilled. We just hope that he knew how much we loved him and how important he was to us.

François K - 99 Prince Stream (A Loft Tribute)

EDIT: Have added option for download of the WAV file :)

So a few months ago I managed to get my hands on an original, mint condition Urei 1620 mixer. Unbelievable! If you don't know the history of these, check them out. Amazing sound - the godfather of all DJ mixers pretty much!

Anyway, I decided to mess around and put a mixtape together using strictly vinyl, and an external Pioneer EFX1000 unit. 

It's definitely rough around the edges (no post editing in the studio!), but I hope you catch a vibe from it.... I had fun(k) putting it together.

Enjoy!

PS. The file here is a WAV file to try and preserve the highest quality audio. If you'd like a download option added, then please say so in the comments section. Gracias!

ROTARY CONNECTION VOL.1

In Loving Memory of Philip Grahame Asher [1966 - 2021]

On Friday 22nd January 2021 our lovely friend Phil Asher suddenly passed away leaving his family, friends and the global dance music community mourning the loss of one of life’s unsung heroes and real good guys.

Without Phil Asher or PHLASH there would be no Reel People. Like so many artists and acts that came from London’s soulful dance scene in the early 2000s he was the LINK that made it all happen. He introduced all 3 of us and like all others we followed him in awe of his passion for music and love for his community and life.

Phil was an MPC beating, dancefloor destroying, hands in the air making, cup of tea and yum yum eating man like no other. Words can’t begin to describe just how infectious his laugh was and how warm his hugs were.

We are so grateful that Brian, Sheldon and all the guys at Traxsource have helped us to put this tribute page to Phil live on the site. Thanks also to all the friends of Phlash who have supported with charts and to Spinna for such a wonderful dj mix. For those who don’t know about Phil’s musical legacy, please take time to delve into this page and discover incredible joints and jams. For those who do know about Phil, we hope you find some hidden gems from this restless soul.

Phil was incredibly proud of his amazing son Marvin who has followed in his dad’s footsteps into music production under the aliases NGC and the Xutians. With this in mind his close friends have set up The Marvin Jupiter Asher fund to help Marvin continue his dream and continue the Asher legacy. Phil’s family & friends respectfully request that anyone who wishes to honour PHLASH is invited to make a contribution to the fund.

Phil we are gonna miss you brother, thank you for everything you did for us and everyone who was lucky enough to meet you.

Our Love Always
Toni, Mike & Oli (Reel People)
