Howdy folks, it’s that time of the month again, and with the days getting shorter we’re here to lift you out of the Autumn doldrums with another spectacular Idle Cellars mix - this time from Ibizan impresario Camilo Miranda! Owner of the Homies Cuts edit label and related club nights in his home of Ibiza, French-Brazilian Camilo is perhaps best known for living the Balearic dream as Music Curator and resident DJ at Pikes Hotel, where he holds court over the decks both poolside and on the small dancefloor seen in so many Instagram videos. Camilo’s super-eclecticism makes this mix something special as he flits from genre to genre, language to language, making the world of music the ingredients for a heady, relaxing & delicious cocktail.. Press play and be transported to The White Island! 

From all of us at Idle Cellars - ENJOY! 
- Mike Bee November 2024

About This Album: Solo Yo Conmigo
"Solo Yo Conmigo" es una obra cautivadora de Martin Alejandro Oviedo, que fusiona estilos musicales en un viaje sonoro único. Este álbum, disponible por solo 3 dólares en Bandcamp, ofrece una experiencia auditiva rica y variada, ideal para los amantes de la música electrónica.

Con un rango de 96 a 103 BPM y en la tonalidad A Phrygian, cada pista está diseñada para sumergirte en un ambiente de breakbeat y drum and bass que se entrelaza con influencias de minimal techno, deep house, y dark disco. La percusión orgánica, acompañada de un kick híbrido y un sub bass sincopado, establece una base sólida que invita a moverse.

Las pistas incluyen:

Aquelarre
Carne en Exposición
Derecho a Roce (Remastered)
Mujeres del Silencio
Whiskey y Bata Mojada
Isla de la Fantasía
Freelancer del Amor
Loop Infinito
Los sintetizadores modernos aportan armonías jazzy y melodías espaciales, mientras que los coros tribales y las capas de gospel añaden una profundidad emocional. Las texturas vocales muestreadas, junto con suaves adlibs, enriquecen la atmósfera sin dominar la narrativa musical.

La estructura del álbum es cuidadosamente elaborada, comenzando con una introducción amigable para DJs que presenta percusiones ligeras y texturas ambientales. A medida que avanzas, experimentarás un groove percutivo, un desglose melódico, y un emocionante "Sunset Drop" que te llevará a un Lounge Groove B antes de concluir con un clean-tail outro que deja una sensación de paz.

Con efectos sutiles como el susurro de la brisa del océano, el crackle de vinilo, y ecos espaciales, "Solo Yo Conmigo" evoca un estado de ánimo soulful, chilled, y místico. Este álbum es perfecto para esos momentos de introspección o para disfrutar en la playa al atardecer.

Sumérgete en esta experiencia musical y descubre la magia de "Solo Yo Conmigo".

Summer Sequence [Mix/April 2017]

“Saved My Life“ is a joint project led by label bosses Micky (The Healing Company) and Hermann (Tieffrequent)@the-healing-company

Micky Explains:

"He sent me a couple of demos a few years ago, I loved his music and immediately decided to release a twelve inch on the Healing Company. For that reason, we met afterwards several times in Berlin and became close friends. We found out quickly that we are kind of “soulmates”, made for each other, sharing the same sense of humor, politics, philosophy – and of course the same love for music. Even if we are both releasing mostly contemporary house music on our respective labels, our deepest love is for soulful music from the old days. We are fascinated by the lovely vibes of the past, this special touch of melancholia, emotion, deepness and playfulness that is difficult to put it into words – it is something you can feel much better when listening.

One day we had the idea to do some edits of long forgotten tunes we love. After a couple of studio sessions, the result was our first release, “A Piano Saved My Life“ with four piano-driven edits out of Jazz Funk, Italo Disco and some Balearic vibes. We released it as a small vinyl edition on my new sub-label “Piano Music“ and we got very surprised by the warm and positive feedback the EP had worldwide.

Instead of just playing the compactos from beginning to end we tried another approach: avoiding fade ins and outs and doing a mix with a constant flow and vibe. This proved at the end much trickier as we originally thought, since one of the most charming aspects of old Brazilian music is also that you have very well produced commercial albums on the one hand and independent lo-fi recordings on the other hand – but just as good and worth to listen and play! 
After digging in our collections and choosing around 80 records, we reduced the selection to fit into a 90 minutes mix, creating a journey that spans some of Brazil’s most popular music genres: from classic Bossa Nova to MPB, Samba Soul, Samba Rock, Boogie, Disco, Forro, Tropicalia and Psychedelia, from 60 bpm to 140 bpm. Our selection is not dogmatic or academic, we are not presenting a certain time period, style or region – we even take a detour to Italy and France during the mix. What we want to present are records and music that are touching us emotionally, with their delightful vibes from the past, including songs from the early 70s to the early 90s, some well known and highly appreciated, some more obscure or completely unknown, some from reputable artists, some from “one-hit wonders “, who disappeared in the depths of time.
