The Emerald Tablet is a monthly show from London DJ Leanne Wright.

Stepping into 2022 with love and positivity Leanne comes with a guest mix from Philly’s King Britt packed with rare groove & 2-step gems; his "Love Letter to An Alabama Darling”. What I would like to see in 2022 is more love and the best way to conjure that is thru positive music! This is a ‘mixtape’ dedicated to someone from Alabama who shows this to the world daily. Tune in and tune up. -King Britt

Coastin' 10 by Spacewalker

We invited our good friends the Patchouli Brothers for a special guest mix session just a few days ahead of their set in Montreal for the annual Mundo Disko party presented at Pride Festival (August 13th. Infos here)

We gave the talented DJ/Production duo and brothers in disco a simple challenge: make us a mix featuring their favorite Montreal discothèque records.

“We focused on some of our Montreal favourites from the 70s and 80s.  We missed a few though. Amra. Nina Dunn. More! 

Most of the Canadian disco we love is from Montreal! There are definitely a few great Toronto records from the time, but a lot of what we dig comes from or is connected to Unidisc and their sub labels. Think there was just more of it produced in Montreal as the scene was stronger? The Montreal music we enjoy is more of that electronic, euro influenced sound, while the Toronto stuff we’ve found to be more connected with classic r&b and/or Caribbean influenced. We like the likes of Crack of Dawn, Liberty Silver, Everett Haughton, from Toronto, just to name a few to not leave our hometown outta the picture! “

A few last words before we see you on the dancefloor at Mundo Disko?

“We’re honoured to be involved! We’ll be doing our best to continue the legacy of our musical hero and friend, Robert Ouimet, by playing music we love and making everyone dance!”

MIMS Guest Mix: PATCHOULI BROTHERS (Dodo Records) — Montreal Disco Special

Featuring tracks from the compilation 'With Love - Vol 1', mixed by miche exclusively for the album release. Only 50 copies of the cassette were ever made available, so we thought that with the release of Vol 2 in the series being imminent, now would be a good time to share this mix digitally with the world.

With Love: Volume 1 - Compiled by miche - Mixed Version

Tropical rhythms, devotional boogie and soulful shenanigans with a heavy jazz undertone, Patrick Forge gathers it all up for your listening pleasure.

It's been a while since I did a mix. Here's a new one! One and a half hour of my favourite modern & boogie sounds. This sounds more or less like the kind of stuff I would drop between 1 am and 3 am at me & Dirtyhans' Touchdown party at Ingensteds in Oslo .

The Touchdown Sound Vol. 1

@fredfades

With thorough foundations in producing and collecting heavy driven cuts, Fredfades draws up a wonderful insight as to what you may hear at Touchdown - a local night run by DirtyHans and himself in Oslo. Fredfades is also an integral element of Mutual Intentions, a label and crew generating their own music and visual arts.

Copenhagen based party starter Dj Universe presents a mix of 100% Azymuth: 

"In February 2015 my friends Sean and Anthon booked Azymuth for a show in Copenhagen and somehow I ended up juggling the roles of being the designated driver, camera man and warm up DJ for the concert. I will never forget those days. The group turned the depressing Danish winter into summer at the snap of a finger just with their presence and the concert itself had one of the most diverse audiences I’ve ever experienced in Copenhagen, all coming together under the warm Azymuth groove. 

Narrowing down 40 years of great music down to a 1h 47m mix was a tough process and I know there are some obvious ones missing, nevertheless I tried my best to grasp and represent the versatile soundscape the group has left behind. The mix spans over 4 decades and about 75 BPM, from the shade of the palm tree to the floor in the club, and I hope it can provide just a little of the magic that I felt witnessing the group play live."
