SOUL GLO w/ BENNY CHIU - Tuesday 30th July 2024

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ www.revibed.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our Selectors series showcases the work and talent of DJs and music collectors from around the world, who continuously contribute to building the vibrant Revibed community.


Considered a bon vivant, a football pundit, and a musical polymath, our second selector hardly needs an introduction. When it comes to the world of music journalism, DJing, music history and taste, Bill Brewster is our guy! A massive record collector from age 10, Bill’s initial passion for the Punk Rock movement eventually got him into the world of dance music, which he had a go for and turned into a living, documenting it through his writing and eclectic DJ sets. 

Brewster's deep understanding of music and DJ culture led him, along with his all-time best buddy Frank Broughton, to publish ‘Last Night a DJ Saved My Life’. Regarded as an essential work on the subject, the book explores the origins of the DJ, from radio to the dance floor, providing a comprehensive exploration of memorable moments and the impact of the disc jockey.

A devotee of good gatherings, Bill has played everywhere—from his own mythical Low Life parties, encompassing two decades of friendships and memories, to Boiler Room sets and many magical Houghton Festivals. Always with a hip-loosening attitude toward the crowds, he masterfully crafts genre-fusing sessions from his vast collection of rarities, spanning intimate disco funk to obscure house.

For this occasion, he put together a mix full of jams dug from the Revibed vault that will take you for spin across decades and sensations. We were able to catch up with him to see how life is going, hear from his recent projects and insightful opinions about all things music.

Some sets just hit differently. 3 weeks ago at @kino_pavilion in Almaty 🇰🇿 Footprints Vol.1 was one of those moments—a session that stretched across sounds, eras, and emotions. It was instinctual, electric, and unpredictable in the best way possible. 70 minutes. 29 tracks. 

Big love to everyone who came through and made it what it was. If you missed it, I hope this mix brings you into that space.

PS: На следующей неделе особенный юбилей — 16 февраля день рождения “Гравитации”, моего радиошоу на Shahar FM (2004–2012). В честь этого планирую вечеринку в субботу, 15 февраля. Вряд ли обойдусь без поддержки друзей. Не особо рассчитываю, конечно 😊 но если вы захотите стать частью этой истории, пожалуйста, дайте знать (спонсорская помощь, art visual, PR, social marketing & etc…), буду премного благодарен 🙏

Footprints Vol. 1 (Live @ Kino Pavilion Almaty January 2025)

Next up in Mr Bongo’s Record Club mix, we’re delighted to welcome Meanjin (Brisbane) based DJ, digger and promoter, @benny_chiu.

A key member of Meanjin’s scene, Benny has been putting on events in the city as part of the A Love Supreme collective since 2012. From small laneway get-togethers, to warehouse parties and club nights, live shows with legends Marcos Valle and Azymuth, to showcases with dancefloor icons like Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittman and Gilles Peterson, Benny has had a hand in bringing a full spectrum of greats to the city that might not otherwise have made it.

That diverse and eclectic outlook is reflected in Benny’s DJing. As at home spinning jazz and soul, as he is broken beat and house, his ability to weave styles and genres together in a cohesive journey is a real talent. It’s one that has seen him sharing the bill with the likes of Hunee, Theo Parrish, Floating Points amongst many others.

For this two hour mix, Benny has put together a fittingly broad selection of favourites:

“This mix has a lot of elements that I'm really into. It’s on the brighter side for a ‘club’ mix but thought it would go down nicely for Mr Bongo. We got some jazz and Latin flavours mixed through the housey stuff. Fellow ‘Australian’ crew Oyobi with ‘Mi Ritmo’ is a fave. And I know this one has been getting plenty of play around but ‘Oyelo (Atjazz Love Soul Remix)’ by Sunlightsquare is such a tune. Musclecars latest album has been getting plenty of love lately as well, though ‘She Raised Us In Sunset Park’ from their earlier EP Street Dreams is a fave.”

Big thanks to Benny for the mix, he’s touring round SE Asia at the minute but keep an eye for his next movements.
