Hard to believe we’re at 40 episodes already. For this milestone Brandon Hocura has put together a mix of electronic and vernacular music from lounges, bar rooms, hotels, high schools, hippie communes, and small towns. This is music from the margins, straight from the heart. Full of dreams, lived experience, wisdom and heartbreak.

Séance Centre Radio Episode 40 NTS - Maybe You Can Fly VOL 1(Sept 2021) NO BANTER

This month's show is a fertile mix of obscure jazz, folk, rock and vernacular music put together by Vancouver based collector and producer Nate Drobner who operates under the alias Astrological and the duo Potatoehead People. He also pilots a fantastic Youtube channel called MoogMelodiya where he uploads the many amazing discoveries he finds primarily at local thrift shops. I’ve been looking forward to having Nate make a mix for the show for a while, and he delivered!

Past Foward #73 w/ DJ Rotwein

Welcome to this special recording that took place during one of Stockholm's snowstorms on November 22nd. Cool producer/crate digger Prins Emanuel partnered up with his cool producer/crate digger friend Martin (IKG) to deejay some mellow classics. Equaling two slow minds waking up from their hungover haze to truly set the tone and making the store feel like a snowy paradise.

Since none of us was in the city for round #78 we asked our friends @s-and-w if they could take over. They did in the best possible way and delivered a dreamy journey from Mediterranean and Brazilian shores up to the pink sunset-clouds and back. Thanks so much for this!

For those unfamiliar with Tako Reyenga, the Dutchman is co-founder of Redlight Records along with Abel Nagengast, one of Amsterdam's finest second hand vinyl outlets and a shop you lose countless hours in digging for gems. In addition, Reyenga is also responsible for the running of Music From Memory alongside Nagengast and Jamie Tillier, a label that has swiftly become a favourite of many collectors and selectors thanks to retrospective insight into the work of Gigi Masin, Vito Ricci and more. This mix from Reyenga for Juno Plus has been a long time coming.

Back in January, the core Juno Plus editorial spent a Friday night in a busy Hackney Wick venue for an event programmed by Melody As Truth and Music From Memory. A gentle and wholly rewarding performance from Gigi Masin was the main draw naturally, but we were left just as impressed by the selections from Reyenga as part of his back to back set with 'Young' Marco Sterk. Soon after came the bright idea to seek out Reyenga and size him up for a podcast, with the Dutchman happily agreeing without really settling on a submission date.

Fast forward several months and numerous podcasts later and Reyenga sends through an understated email on a Friday evening in July with a link to a mix he'd recorded the previous day. Given his reputation as a record digger, explored in Resident Advisor's wonderful feature on Reyenga last month, we were understandably excited to hear the results. In contrast to Reyenga's selections that night in Hackney Wick, or indeed the excellent back-to-back set with Orpheu de Jong recorded at Lente Kabinet earlier this year, this mix for Juno Plus is a much more contemplative listen; see it as an 84-minute ride through the more experimental corners of his enviable record collection.

In the hectic days preceding last weekend's Dekmantel festival, Reyenga set aside some time to answer some questions about Redlight Records, DJing with his friends, what is coming up on Music From Memory and more. You can read that here: http://bit.ly/1gJBn7R
