During our takeover on Polaroid Radio throughout October and November, we are delivering shows, playlists and music 24/7 on the Iris channel, inspired by the pages of Wax Poetics.

We reached out to our community to share a 60 minute mix with us every week.

Wax Poetics and Polaroid Present: From The Pages | Nyboe Mix

We’re crossing the bridge over to our neighboring Copenhagen with no other than Nyboe (DK) hosting the series with the 43rd episode of Podcats. 
 
Nyboe is a Danish vinyl DJ who started his journey into sounds over 20 years ago, specializing in all types of Hip Hop from G-Funk to Boom Bap to Instrumental along with library music, jazz, breaks, neo-soul, trip hop and 90’s R&B. His extensive record collection is a proof of his continuous passion for crate-digging and resulted in his own expertise when it comes to his taste and selection. This has made Nyboe a well-known name in the Danish hiphop-scene, opening up for international acts such as Crimeapple, Boldy James & Alchemist to name a few, aswell as getting recognition from abroad when winning international mixtape competitions by Wax Poetics x Polaroid and Reloop. Nyboe also ran the Danish hiphop label Idiotsikker Records for 10 years where they released 20+ vinyl records and also was responsible for the vinyl-department for the renowned label Run For Cover for 8 years. As for today, his interest in records continues with his own podcast ”Nyboe’s Pod” with a focus on in-depth talks with local and international guests aswell as running his Instagram-page @nyboesvinyler where he showcases records from his collection. 

For this episode we get a mix combining pre and post hiphop library music and jazz along with instrumental beats and breaks, showing how sampling has altered and developed music into something new and how artists can play old genres in new ways inspired by how other cultures alter the state of music. We’re hyped to have Nyboe onboard as he truly showcases his skills with a fine and well-put together mix.

Podcats #43 - Nyboe (DK)

Mr Bongo proudly presents the debut album from Tasmania-born, Melbourne-based, Finn Rees. Gliding across a swirling palette of saturated hues, Dawn Is A Melody feels vintage yet vibrant, new but familiar at the same time. A spiritual, deep and textured jazz record, tipping its hat to greats from the past, capturing memories and reformulating them into new ideas with the help of some of Melbourne’s finest talent.

Expert keys player for the likes of 30/70 and Elle Shimada, alongside one-half of Close Counters, this debut LP was Finn’s conscious departure from the realm of groove-based jazz. Instead, Dawn Is A Melody places the piano and arrangements centre stage, giving Finn and his fellow Melbourne crew freedom to explore the spaces in between, new emotions and alternate soundscapes.

In Finn’s own words: “My intention with Dawn Is A Melody was to create a world; a microcosm of colour. Something rich and beautiful that allowed the melodies and compositions to reach their full potential. It was driven by hope, curiosity and the search for beauty and reassurance in this ever-changing world. The emotion behind the music is really about the journey of life, growing up and changing, as well as my relationship with Tasmania’s natural landscapes where I grew up, a part of the world that is incredibly unique and beautiful.”

The album arcs between opening, middle and end. Beginning with the optimism of ‘Looking Up’ and ‘Lagoon’, the former a celestial, string and harp marbled slice of positivity, the latter a spiritual journey of exuberance and hope, Finn’s fingers dancing across the ‘70s Yamaha grand piano. From there the songs blossom outwards with the cinematic soulful journey of ‘It’s Behind Me Now’ and Brazilian-inspired ‘Expansion’, as the divine ‘Crossing’ signals a transition to a new realm. The energy is transformed from the rich cosmic textures to a more intimate and personal feeling with ‘Ablaze’, ‘Between Spaces’ and ‘As It Passes’ which blissfully fades down to simply piano and strings to close out the record.

Recorded at Rolling Stock in Collingwood, Melbourne, Henry Jenkins was drafted in as recording and mix engineer, his minimal vintage mic setups giving a live aesthetic and warmth to the arrangements. Lucky Pereira and Blakely McLean Davies form the rock-solid rhythm section, with a hand-picked line-up of other Melbourne talent on display, including Cheryl Durongpitikul on tenor sax, Siwei Wong on harp, Audrey Powne on trumpet and Allysha Joy on vocals to name only a few.

Plotting a course from Alice Coltrane, through Herbie Hancock, to Arthur Verocai, this is a debut nourished by the past but firmly made in the present. A record unable to be age-stamped, casting ambiguity as to when, what era and by whom it has been crafted. Like a vintage lens capturing a current scene, Dawn Is A Melody is warm and familiar yet focused on the here now.

Omega and I go way, way back, co-hosting a college radio show in the late 90s, talking shit about wack emcees and going on wild digging missions in the 2000s when these tracks were recorded. He remains one of my best friends and partner in crime today. He also happens to be an incredible emcee, with a style that certain emcee(s) making a name for themselves in 2024 took a big bite from (including one who literally was in rooms in 1999 where Omega spitting...go figure). So here's some tracks - some previously released, several unreleased - that we did in the 2000s, starting with "Eye Problems" which we recorded in Philadelphia back in 2001. These are "basement classics" since most were recorded in my Brooklyn basement apartment on Cool Edit. Everything except for one produced by me. Make sure to check out Omega's amazing and prolific output as a producer and emcee at https://omegajackson.bandcamp.com/ and https://soundcloud.com/omegajackson and cop all his projects! Not to mention our recent Neosapien EP available here: https://everydaybeats.bandcamp.com/album/all-we-need-is-a-title

Ray Lozano returns with new single ‘DRAGON.’ 2023 was a stunning year for the German-Filipino singer and producer from Cologne. With her debut album ‘Pairing Mode‘, Ray and her co-producer Samon Kawamura created a landmark in German-Asian culture, scored over 37 million streams and garnered widespread acclaim, with praise pouring in from Jamz Supernova, WDR Cosmo, and Spiegel Online. Ray’s artistry was further recognized with the prestigious Holger Czukay Award and NICA artist residency, while she captivated audiences with shows throughout Germany.

“'DRAGON' explores the small bickerings and miscommunications in relationships, turning fiery moments into something we laugh about later,” Ray explains. “It's a playful take on how emotional connections endure through the little battles.”

Crown Ones

I could write an entire enclyopedia on how highly influential the late, great  legendary vibraphonist, composer and producer Roy Ayers really was. 
This man is responsible for Neo-Soul, is massively regarded in Hip-Hop and sampled by pretty much every Producer but his influence also spread to Acid Jazz, House and even Liquid Drum and Bass.

In short, I'll let this tribute mix say it all.
Enjoy


RIP Roy Ayers

Forever grateful
