Next up in our Record Club Guest Mix series is Slowe (AKA Sophie Hawes), bringing the heat with a music of Colombia special! 

We've known Sophie for some time now and it is fantastic to see her musical career take flight. There's a debut album on the way titled, 'Where The Mind Wanders'. Released July 28th on Tru Thoughts, it's a cross-genre beauty, packed with modern neo-soul songs, psychedelic moments and more traditional jazz, soul and hip hop sounds. We thoroughly recommend checking it.

Sophie's contribution to our Record Club Guest mix series is best summarised in her own words...

"When I first started listening to and being interested in music from South America, a huge part of how I first started exploring the vast world of latin music was Mr Bongo. I bought their first mr bongo presents compilation and was hooked. I ended up reaching out to Mr Bongo and traveling down to Brighton to stay for a few weeks to intern with them, during the time that their shop first opened. I was welcomed with open arms and left with armfuls of vinyl!
 
I ended up travelling to Colombia a few years later and spending a month exploring the country, and although my budget and backpack didn’t really allow me to return with heaps of rare vinyl, what I did leave with was an immense love and expanded knowledge of the music that Colombia has produced. 
 
In this mix I’ve picked my favourite songs from Colombia, with genres ranging from Salsa, Cumbia, Bolero, Champata, and funk/soul." 

Thanks so much to Sophie for the mix.

Ep. 35 – Soul of Ayers

A belated but imperative tribute and celebration to one of the greatest to ever do it, the master of vibes, Roy Ayers. A major inspiration to a several generations of producers, jazz & soul music lovers alike, with his original blend of consciousness, funk, Afrocentricity, and that Ayers brand of sunshine spirituality. The one many of us crown as the godfather of neo-soul. 

I’ll never forget discovering “Daylight” on DJ Muro’s King of Diggin mixtape in 1996, connecting the dots as the original to Tribe’s “Bonita Applebum”. Or digging up Everybody Loves the Sunshine in a bargain bin at Streetlight Records, hyped to be able to play it next to Erule’s “Listen Up” in a set. 

Interspersed throughout the show are excerpts from two interviews. One from 2017 on Questlove Supreme where he tells his life story, meeting Fela Kuti, and recites a poem inspired by his trips to Africa. A second with a young Sonya Saul on MTV UK circa mid-90s when he was touring out there in the midst of jazz fusion meeting hip hop. Roy’s catalog is immense, so two hours barely scratches the surface.

Presenting the first single taken from Gabriele Poso’s forthcoming compilation on Mr Bongo, Ritmo Italiano ‘Unspoken Sounds of Italian Tamburo’. Tony Cercola ‘Lumumba’ is just one of the mesmerising tracks that Sardinian multi-instrumentalist, percussionist and producer, Poso, has curated for this captivating new compilation. It’s an under-the-radar, percussive Italo-disco / proto-house dancer, originally landing on the Italian label Tendance in 1987.

“How can one not be overwhelmed by the energetic force of Tony Cercola? An incredible artist who emerged in the 1970s within the so-called Neapolitan Power movement,” Gabriele mentions. Cercola’s track ‘Lumumba’ showcases the vibrance of Italy’s cultural crossroads, with influences from the Mediterranean, Africa and Europe all rolled into this dynamic tribal whirlwind.

Built upon a foundation of gated snares, flavourful bongos and a driving synth pop bassline, ‘Lumumba’ oozes ‘80s dancefloor energy. Reverberating chords and deft keys are layered up in masterful fashion, as earworm chants and a hypnotising lead vocal draw you in deeper. It's a perfect crossover track for a leftfield electronic dancefloor set and is tailormade to ramp up the intensity when the time is right.

Putting a fresh spin on two tracks from New Regency Orchestra’s standout debut album, Momoko Gill and Samtheman, step up to the plate on remix duties. Two exciting and innovative names rising out of London’s next generation of artists they’ve reimagined NRO’s Afro-Cuban jazz vibrancy in their own personal and distinctive way. Blurring the lines between remix and new production, Momoko turns ‘Para Los Papines’ into a meditative, transportive, percussive cut laced with her ethereal vocals, as Sam flips ‘Sambaroco’ into an Afro house styled groover with Caique and P Wavey on the mic.

London-based drummer/producer/songwriter and vocalist, Momoko Gill, provides the first of the remixes. With an explorative ear and a rejection for imitation, her unique style has seen her collaborating with artists including Matthew Herbert, Coby Sey, Tirzah and Alabaster DePlume. Nourished by elements of NRO’s take on David Amram’s ‘Para Los Papines’, Momoko’s clever sampling of the bass, percussion and horns melds this track into a new dimension. Drawing from a Buddhist myth, her lyrics and intimate voice provide a celestial, mythological touch to the remix.

Talking on the remix Momoko says: “I wanted to make something that feels more like a recontextualization of the original and a continuation of the conversation. Unlike the original which sounds looser and starts with the more jazzy orchestration, NRO’s version kicks straight into the vamp and has a more linear structure, where the orchestrated bits serve as a release of tension as well as a destination. I enhanced that by making a new line through sampling the double bass which, in retrospect, sounds almost like a line you’d hear in grime and used vocal sampling to drive the groove.”

Next up, Samtheman, co-founder of the label/collective Brighter Days Family, takes on ‘Sambaroco’. Sam’s genre-bending productions are both inspired by, and experimenting with, sounds from around the globe. Reworking the groove into an Afro house rhythm, Sam invites two emerging young artists with ties to Brighter Days Family, Caique and P Wavey, to take to the mic and add a new, vocal-led flavour to the remix. 

Sam mentions, “Together in the studio, we listened to the original version by Tito Puente, Caique came up with a phrase inspired by the name of the tune. “Ela me faz samba roco, Ela me faz samba loco…” Then the rest of the vocal parts started flowing. Continuing to use the name of the original for inspiration, P Wavey begins his verse with, “Sambaroco-ni, now everybody just follow me…” In my mind, the original is a salsa song that is about carnival, or a salsa interpretation of carnival, in particular Brazilian carnival hence the title of the song.”

More than just reworks, these tracks are conversations, between continents, cultures, and genres, through the forward-thinking lens of two of London’s rising stars.
