Taking the time during the winter lockdown to go over and rediscover his wealth of records, Waxist musters up a blend of downtempo joints from the depth of his shelves. The Lyon based collector runs Sol Discos alongside Pascal Rioux and has collaborated with quality releases on Favourite Recordings, Kalakuta Soul Records and Cultures Of Soul to name a few. With an emphasis on the slower numbers for this selection, Waxist moves across the sphere from Gospel to private pressed Reggae, looping it all together in a seamless fashion. Fetch yourself some fine nectar and settle in.

After relocating to New York, Joseph Richard spent the better part of a decade immersed in the cities rich record culture. Initially inspired by what other collectors were seeking out or playing at the time, he soon became completely consumed in the search to uncovering records that were still well off most peoples radar. Wanting an opportunity to share his finds with other enthusiasts, Joe started Good Sound record shop, a finely curated online store where you can find an abundance of goodies of which many will be unknown to your ears. This free flowing hour is a showcase of Joe’s new found interests in AOR, Folk and Soft Rock that have arisen since a recent move back to California. Let this one ease you into the warmer weather.

Next up in our Record Club Guest Mix series is Paul Hillery of the Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadour blog. Paul is a hugely respected collector of private press obscurities, lost loner folk, strange musical fauna and intricately played floral powered wonders. Known in collectors’ circles for his deep digging adventures and his immersive mix series on the Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours blog (FFTT), Paul has gained a reputation as the go-to man for compilers and labels seeking information pretty much unavailable anywhere on the net. 

He recently released his FFTT compilation on the ever excellent RE:WARM records and it has become a firm favourite here at Mr Bongo HQ. To dig deeper into this rich seam of lost treasures and obscurities we asked if he would contribute a mix in our Record Club series. He’s a DJ / Selector of some pedigree, having played alongside The Polyphonic Spree, Arthur Lee & Love, Bonnie Dobson, Spiritualized, 4 Hero, Happy Mondays, Simian, The Bees, Julian Cope, Courtney Pine and many, many more. So, being the top gent he is, a sublime 2hr mix was promptly delivered and is now available for all to enjoy here. 

You can read more about his compilations, mixes and the music he loves in our Digging Deeper interview here - https://www.mrbongo.com/blogs/news/digging-deeper-an-interview-with-paul-hillery-folk-funk-trippy-troubadours

Steve Cobby is a producer, musician and DJ from Hull, UK. His first commercial outing was with Ashley & Jackson, a short-lived project signed to Big Life records in 1988. When they were dropped, he co-founded Pork Recordings and Fila Brazillia in 1990. Fila released 12 critically acclaimed LPs as well as produced over 70 remixes for artists as diverse as Radiohead, Busta Rhymes, Black Uhuru, Simple Minds, James, A Certain Ratio and Moloko. 

His first paid DJ set was in 1985. He has since gone on to play all four corners of the globe from Sydney to San Francisco, New York to Tokyo as well as performing live in Europe, Japan, and the US with Fila. With David Brennand he established the iconic label Pork Recordings in 1990. An imprint that went on to become internationally acclaimed for its quality and integrity. The acclaimed compilation series "Another Late Night" was kickstarted by Fila’s mix in 2000. They also co-produced "Afghan Whigs", Greg Dulli's debut Twilight Singers LP and co-wrote with seminal US composer Harold Budd and UK legend Bill Nelson for the Three White Roses collaboration. 

Steve's other projects include Heights Of Abraham, JSTARS, The Cutler, Hey Rube, Chieftain and Citrus with Richard H Kirk. He now releases all solo work on his own Déclassé imprint. His solo LP "Saudade" garnered considerable critical acclaim, selling its limited-edition-run in spring 2014. The follow-up "Everliving" was named in Piccadilly Records' top 100 LPs of the year in 2015. The third solo outing "Hemidemisemiquaver" received similar glowing praise.
