"Nascer e crescer num ambiente familiar embebido pela música é inegavelmente um trunfo para qualquer um que eventualmente acaba por dedicar sua vida profissional e criativa a ela"

Mareh Mix - Episode #53: Giu Nunez

Pete Herbert @ Campfire 1st June 2023

A b-boy in the 80s, raver in the 90s, Rob Soulfood started DJing in 1990 and is still djing all over, playing all genres to all ages. From house, through to old school, chill out sunset/sunrise vibes! "The music I collect and play has to have a certain vibe, melody, harmony and groove what ever the genre. I also double up as Loose Joints with another local DJ, Alex Traska. The mixes here speak for themselves, with amazing sound quality, and track selection which for me is paramount. Enjoy and share the love!"

BALEARIC BURGER W/ ROB SOULFOOD

Claremont 56 founder Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy has been in a rich vein of creative form of late. Having released his first solo album in 18 years in 2024, the effervescent and picture-perfect 'In The Garden of Mindfulness', Murphy is well on his way to finishing solo LP number three – a set you’ll be able to hear in full later in 2025.

To get us in the mood, he’s offering up a two-track taster featuring instrumental takes on cuts that will appear as full-vocal songs on the final album. Both were written with, and feature instrumentation by, regular collaborator Michele Chiavarini, an Italian musician,
producer, composer, and arranger who has long been part of the Claremont 56 family.

Up first is ‘Mahalo (Instrumental Mix)’, a languid and emotion-rich groover built around a smooth, mid-tempo jazz-funk-goes-disco groove – think crispy drums, delay-laden hand percussion and rubbery bass guitar – and all manner of ear-catching musical details. As the track unfolds, you can expect to hear lilting strings, warming electric piano chords, mazy synth solos, heady horn-style blasts and glistening, eyes-closed guitar licks. It’s a genuinely superb slab of musically rich dancefloor warmth.

The track that follows, ‘Mata Ne’, is an altogether dreamier and more dub-influenced affair. Featuring some sublime piano playing from Chiaivarini, it sees Murphy layer simmering strings, cascading guitar licks, spacey synths and blissed-out melodic motifs atop
the kind of chunky, dubby groove that has long been one of his aural trademarks. Offering positivity and melancholia in equal measure, ‘Mata Ne’ is Mudd at his most musically majestic. His forthcoming album will be worth waiting for.

Steve Tee Balearic Throwdown LIVE at the Star Waldron 14.06.25

Hello friends,

This Thursday, August 14th, I’m back at my summer residency at La Milagrosa in South Williamsburg - a tiny speakeasy with just enough space for the music to wrap around us. I’ll be joined by some of my friends behind the decks, and we’ll play from 10PM until the night decides to end.
Milagrosa is one of those rooms where you feel every record. A handful of people, close enough to exchange smiles, close enough to hear the air between the notes.

I’ve been DJ-ing for over 25 years, collecting music from all corners of the world - each track carrying its own story, its own heartbeat. On Thursdays, I get to stitch these moments together: fresh discoveries, long-lost gems, and sounds that still give me goosebumps after decades. No hype, no big expectations, just a night for those who love music, connection, and the beauty of getting lost in a groove.

And here’s a little taste - I recorded my Sunday set at @Brooklynpopup at @Brooklynmuseum. Think of it as a warm-up for what’s coming this Thursday. 

PS: Friday I am back for early 2-hr set at Public Records Upstairs. 8-10PM. DM for the guest list (it’s limited)

Saturday at Soho House New York 10PM-2AM. DM for the guest list.

Sunday I will do my 6.5-hr Sunday service at @brooklyn.pop.up @brooklynmuseum 11AM-5:30PM 

Straight after this marathon I am heading for my debut 2-hr vinyl set at   @thehoneycomb_bk in #parkslope

Love, Rustam

Steps Ahead
