Stunning mix! Volcov blessed us with a warm winter we think… The DJ and producer from Italy came by a few weeks ago to record a new store mix in the series. He restricted himself, dug the jazz bins and selected deep spiritual music to light up our days . 

Volcov is a DJ and collector and music lover since the late 80s and has played all around Europe, USA and Japan. He founded the record labels Archive in 1997, Neroli in 2000 and SJNRL in 2003. He lived in London during the drum & bass and broken beat heydays, today he resides back home in Verona, and is part of the strongly growing Sounds Familiar crew.

This is the fifth in a series of Rush Hour Store mixes, where we invite our favorite artists and DJs to dig the bins and record us a mix on the spot. Click on the links below for more info on the featured tracks.

"FRENCH CASSETTE" - new LP OUT NOW ! 
Bandcamp: https://souleance.bandcamp.com/album/french-cassette
Itunes/Spotify: https://kud.li/fw189

First Word Records is proud to present a new full-length project from Souleance ! Following on from 2013’s acclaimed "La Beat Tape", the Parisian duo return for 2019 with "French Cassette".
As well as the recent single "François / Sète" (both included), we have 25 new tracks dedicated to all things Français. This mixtape opus is a true labour of love; A French voyage through time and genres, as Soulist and FULGEANCE like to do. Each track is purposefully named after various French clichés; characteristics, phrases and places. You’ll excuse our French, and check those out for yourselves..
"French Cassette" is comprised of an array of noises from various French composers; from boogie, to jazz, to sound libraries, to chansons. Cinematically sultry sounds, with a lot of funk; where Brigitte Fontaine meets François de Roubaix in a back alley somewhere near the film set of "Calmos", whilst pumping out the soundtrack to La Haine. 
A little moody, a little sexy, a little rough around the edges.
Whilst the film noir-esque interludes accentuate the theme, Souleance’s unmistakable grooves ride throughout, with a symphony of synths and scratches, beats and basslines. This is undeniably, unashamedly a celebration. Boom bap and breaks, all flavoured with a healthy layer of “je ne sais quoi”.
The first single received love from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Tom Ravenscroft, Jazzanova, Huey Morgan, Bill Brewster, Kev Beadle, Hector Plimmer, Red Rack'em (Rinse FM), Thristian (Worldwide FM) and Chris P Cuts (NTS). Meanwhile, the duo recently spun special sessions for Laid Back and Le Mellotron, as well as their numerous DJ sets and live shows across Europe, and recently self-releasing another mixtape tribute, dedicated to the late great Galt McDermot, and featured on Okayplayer & Radio Nova. The Souleance saga continues. Vive la France!!
"French Cassette" will be available on limited edition cassette & on all digital platforms.

Mark E - Never Stop EP MERC026

"Feeling, spiritual substance music that offers peace" from producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ cktrl, newly-signed to Touching Bass. 

Self-care interview: https://www.stampthewax.com/2020/11/10/reduced-by-cktrl/

Reduced is a new series that strips sound back to its most transcendental, restorative and atmospheric textures to block out the noise and aid focus, attunement and relaxation. Each one will be paired with a mental health charity and be accompanied by an interview focussed on self-care. The combination of all three will create an evolving resource of knowledge and experience that provides solace, inspiration, reassurance and company in difficult times.

Paired charity: Imkaan, a UK-based, organisation dedicated to addressing violence against Black and minoritised women and girls - https://www.imkaan.org.uk/
