GE-OLOGY - All Original Press "45s only" Mix

Nothin rare here but the kind of slower records that were favourites in the mid 80s in and around the Canning Town area of East London when we were doing the sound system thing!

Coastin' 11 by Spacewalker

For the next instalment of our Record Club Mix series we head to Paris, with a brilliant mix from Matthieu Biron aka Matt Ma Moustache. 

Born in Brittany, Matt also originates from Martinique (West Indies), which has had massive influence on his musical tastes. A respected digger and DJ, his love of disco, modern soul, funk, gospel, Afro and West Indian grooves has seen him support the likes of Antal, Mendel, Esa, Gino Grasso, Louise Chen and The Mighty Zaf. Back in 2018, Matt also co-founded one of Paris’ top listening bars @frequencebarparis, a vinyl only cocktail bar highlighting some of the best diggers and DJs from around the world. 

“In this mixtape I really wanted to play what I enjoy the best and what we play the most often at Frequence. The tempo is going up song after song to catch the audience in an uplifting atmosphere and make them dance. Different music styles are showcased here : Disco, Boogie, African and Gospel. 

First, three beautiful gospel records set the tone as I love to start with that style or zouk. Following there’s a record with a great cover of Candy Bowman ‘Since  I Found You’ by Crossroads. After that, two magic Disco records that became classic at Frequence over the course of years (almost 7 now): Thunderstorm - Summer Love and Jean Carn - Super Explosion. The superb song to finish from Joe and Lee - ‘Black Gold Disco Moving Machine’ hits with a lot of energy; this one should become a classic dancefloor track in my opinion. 

I always try and play different styles wherever I am, to catch as many people in the audience as possible. This sort of became my trademark if I may say. The mix is 100% vinyl, all from my personal collection that I’ve dug around the world. It was recorded on two Technics and a DJR 200 (during a rainy day ^^).”

Big thanks to Matt for the mix - he will be playing in Canada in a few weeks time and for the first time in Brazil in 2025.
