This past week Tim Z and Raf Reza both shared some opening duties for Jamie xx on the In Waves tour in Toronto, Chicago and Minneapolis. They also threw down on a episode for last Friday's Star Creature Vibes Radio on WLPN 105.5 Lumpen FM. That session lives here now. If you feel like something may be missing from your life right now - This audio mix is probably it.

Patrick Gibin - Limited Edition Wax Poetics Mix

Next up in Mr Bongo’s Record Club mix, we’re delighted to welcome Meanjin (Brisbane) based DJ, digger and promoter, @benny_chiu.

A key member of Meanjin’s scene, Benny has been putting on events in the city as part of the A Love Supreme collective since 2012. From small laneway get-togethers, to warehouse parties and club nights, live shows with legends Marcos Valle and Azymuth, to showcases with dancefloor icons like Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittman and Gilles Peterson, Benny has had a hand in bringing a full spectrum of greats to the city that might not otherwise have made it.

That diverse and eclectic outlook is reflected in Benny’s DJing. As at home spinning jazz and soul, as he is broken beat and house, his ability to weave styles and genres together in a cohesive journey is a real talent. It’s one that has seen him sharing the bill with the likes of Hunee, Theo Parrish, Floating Points amongst many others.

For this two hour mix, Benny has put together a fittingly broad selection of favourites:

“This mix has a lot of elements that I'm really into. It’s on the brighter side for a ‘club’ mix but thought it would go down nicely for Mr Bongo. We got some jazz and Latin flavours mixed through the housey stuff. Fellow ‘Australian’ crew Oyobi with ‘Mi Ritmo’ is a fave. And I know this one has been getting plenty of play around but ‘Oyelo (Atjazz Love Soul Remix)’ by Sunlightsquare is such a tune. Musclecars latest album has been getting plenty of love lately as well, though ‘She Raised Us In Sunset Park’ from their earlier EP Street Dreams is a fave.”

Big thanks to Benny for the mix, he’s touring round SE Asia at the minute but keep an eye for his next movements.

Dat 'French House' Vibe Mix #5 [Vinyl Only]

From @grandhuit_514

I discovered Roy Ayers early in my musical journey. He’s an artist who had a huge influence on me, and over the years, I kept realizing just how important his career was to the history of music at large. 

From jazz to jazz-funk, jazz-fusion, disco, boogie, and even his influence on hip-hop & house—his impact is undeniable.

Today, I’m incredibly moved to see how much he inspired DJs, producers, and musicians across generations. But more than anything, it’s the universal love for him that stands out. Everyone loved Roy, and I think that’s what makes him such an important artist.

I became truly fascinated with his work the day I watched his live performance at Ronnie Scott’s, during the famous Battle of the Vibes. That’s when I realized not just his incredible musicianship but also his sense of humor. He had this incredible emotional range—his music could make you cry, laugh, or dance, sometimes all at once. That really struck me, and from that moment on, I started diving deeper into his music.

Over the years, my passion for his work grew. I started hunting for rare records, original pressings—until one day, I had the chance to see him perform on a rooftop in Brooklyn. He was already past 75 at that point, already fragile, but still so magical. 

Watching him play live as the sun set over the city is an image I’ll never forget. I remember bringing my original pressing of Roy Ayers Ubiquity with me, hoping to get it signed. But I was too shy, too in awe of the moment. It’s a small regret, but also a memory I’ll cherish forever.

With this mix, I wanted to pay tribute to him, as he passed away just a few days ago. 

I decided to take a chronological approach—starting with his debut album West Coast Vibes, moving through his time as Herbie Mann’s vibraphonist, then into his solo work and his years with his band Roy Ayers Ubiquity. From there, I included tracks from his 80s period, some unreleased material released by BBE, and even a few collaborations with Fela Kuti, Wayne Henderson, Guru & Erykah Badu. 

I chose to close the mix with Remember to Remember by Rick Holmes—it felt like the perfect closing theme for this tribute.

May his soul rest in peace and his music lives forever. 

Please note: I deliberately chose not to include his work as a producer for other artists like Sylvia Striplin, Ladies of the 80s, Bobbi Humphrey to name a few, except for Daylight and Remember to Remember. Same for Coffy as this one was a movie soundtrack and not a solo album. 

I also left out most of his collaborations, except for his track with Guru, which felt too important to omit. Additionally, I didn’t include any remixes, as it would have made the mix too long. 

Maybe all of that will be part of another recording one day...
