1st episode of My Favorite Things in 2021 and our special guest is none other than Lexis. 

I first met the founder of our favorite website back in 2013 when I booked him in Paris for his very first "Club Jazz" gig for an incredible edition of the Jazz Attitudes night. From that meeting was born our collaboration on MIMS as well as gigs where we share the same love and curiosity for music. 

True to his trademark, Lexis put together a mix sharing many different tastes and influences, this time diving into 90's jazz-nujazz-triphop treasures like The Sonic Family, Peshay and Up, Bustle & Out. The middle sees a couple jazzy older gems like South Africa's Teaspoon Ndelu and the calypso Jazz of Rupert Clemendore. He closes out his mix with a few of his favorite Broken Beat x Jazz revisions like Art Blakey revisited by EVM 128 and Carlos Garett revised by Kyoto Jazz Massive and Moonstarr. That and a few more joints!

As usual, the show is opened with a few of my recent digs including the ambient jazz of Mammal Hands and Sven Wunder. Also, what absolute joy it is to see Gary Bartz so inspired these days as part of the "Jazz is dead" project.  My set closes out with a few dancefloor tunes as usual: "Milestones" by Stéphane San Juan & Sambacool and "I Believe in Miracles" by Banda Achilifunk & Original Jazz Orquestra Taller De Músics.

Enjoy !
