Live recording of the first to last record played at Giant Steps on Sunday 12 February, 2023.

This sound system haunted our dreams, since they packed it up at Swan Wharf. Came with high hopes and open minds for our first Sunday at the Hackney Wick Baths. What started as a soulful afternoon selection escalated slowly into a rolling dance. A few asked since if it was recorded and - luckily - this time we got the sucker. 

If you were there, thanks for joining us and hope you enjoy the playback as much as we have. If you weren’t, hope you catch the glow of this wonderful setup. Blended with *ahem* human touch on 2 modified Technics and an ISO420 mixer, deeper into the night than we’d expected, under the shimmers of their famous mirrorball.

DUNKS_LIVE_YEBISU_2022_PART_2

Picture this. It was the hottest day of the year & the mid afternoon sun was high in the sky.
Many people had been up all night, some were just arriving in the fields in Norfolk.

The Old Gramophone tent was one of the few stages with some refuge from the sun so I played super chill, trippy & Dreamy with lots of Reggae, slow Disco & downtempo dance. There are also lots of unreleased edits & version excursions which you won’t hear anywhere else.

I mourn the fact that there are no longer chill-out rooms in the clubs so this was a chance to play some music that is good to lollygag and trip out to or dance slowly if the desire takes you. 
I brought it up gradually because I don’t have  much chill out music on my stick cos there are no chill out rooms in clubs these days. And yes I am mostly Nick The Stick these days... 

I picked it up a bit more during the 3rd hour as Sassy J was up next so wanted to give her the best chance possible of getting a dance floor happening (was still real hot though).
I played a fun party set on the Thursday night but sadly the recording of that was corrupted.

Anyway I hope you enjoy.

P.S. the photo is in taken in Brighton while I am wearing my favourite Houghton top

Nick The Record HOUGHTON FESTIVAL Recorded live Daytime 2022

London-based DJ, Basket of Light festival organiser, radio host and all-round upliftingly eclectic selector, @poly-ritmo serves up the first Record Club mix of 2024. Having grown up on jazz, soul, Latin and folk, aged just 15 she started work experience behind the counter at Sounds Of The Universe, following that with a degree in Ethnomusicology at SOAS. Since then, she has become a trusted and cherished DJ across the UK, Europe, Brazil and beyond, holding residencies on Netil radio and Worldwide FM alongside doing a selection of livestreams for Vinyl Factory and My Analog Journal livestreams that have racked up millions of views. 

Currently on tour in Brazil, DJing at a string of parties across carnival in São Paulo, Santos and Rio, Polly took the time out to put together this all vinyl mix just before leaving the UK. Solely comprised of Brazilian records picked up on her last trip to Brazil, she mentions:

“I'm a big fan of Mr Bongo, and I wanted to record a mix that fits in with the Mr Bongo sound. I've got so many amazing Brazilian records that I love but don't get the opportunity to play so much, so an all-Brazilian mix seemed like a fitting theme.”

“A lot of the records I played in this are from the North-East of Brazil and many of the tracks are from the ‘80s - lots of synths and drum machines. The mix features a range of styles such as lambada, reggae, axé, afoxê, boogie, forró and samba.”

“My personal favourite track in this mix is Ruy Lima - Filhos de Gandhy (at 14.27 in the mix). I bought this record from my friend Roger who runs Pindorama discos in São Paulo. It's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I love the afoxê combined with boogie, Ruy Lima’s sweet vocals and the soaring BVs. Such a delicious mix!”.

Massive thanks to Polly for the mix.

Mr Bongo Record Club Guest Mix - Poly-Ritmo

Idle Cellars is back & our latest mix is from the Bay Area’s Dub Disco Dons 40 Thieves! Our hometown heroes are faves of Harvey and Weatherall alike, with releases for labels like Rong Music & Permanent Vacation, including their massive hit covering Hot Chocolate’s “Don’t Turn It Off”! Well-known for having a sporadic release schedule, our Thieves landed at Leng Records for the past decade or so and we can expect some new music from the boys coming soon!

For this mix they’ve pulled out all the stops for a tour-de-force of all the delectable things that makes a Thief a Thief - stripped-down Paradise Garage-brand disco and boogie jams, secret Italo groovers, chuggy slo-mo bangers and more, viewed through the hazy lens of Dub - always a smokers’ delight! We think this is the sound of the summer, so up the bass & treble, skin up and enjoy!
