Love is the way

The first episode of my new show where I seek to blend impossible sounds and senses to create wild mixes on the fly.

Based far, far away this show extends to the global underground community where magic and mystery are all part of daily life.

The Sensorium ep.1 - Albert’s Piercing the Vale.. 🌌⋆✩༺🔮🗡️🌫️🗡️🔮༻✩⋆🌌

Released also on vinyl.

Album Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet "Polka" uzyskał status Złotej Płyty w Polsce, ale jego historia wciąż się rozwija. Oto przedstawiamy pierwszy pakiet remiksów i reinterpretacji oryginalnych utworów z bestsellerowej płyty.

Dobór artystów nie jest przypadkowy, jak przypadkowy nie jest wydawca - U Know Me Records. Na płycie, która ukaże się na winylu, usłyszeć można wszystko to co świeże w polskiej muzyce: od klubowej elektroniki spod znaku RYS z rewelacyjną Justyną Święs, po hiphopowych innowatorów (Holak z Weną) i rapowych weteranów (Metro i O.S.T.R.). Dołóżmy do tego doświadczonych Enveego, Daniela Drumza i Hatti Vatti oraz Misię Furtak z Twardowskim oraz zupełnego debiutanta (zwycięzce naszego, otwartego konkursu na remiks) Yoshiego Swxdn i mamy z pewnością jedną z najbardziej zaskakujących składanek remiksowych w historii naszej fonografii.
Warto nadmienić, że mastering całości popełnił Marcin Cichy ze Skalpela, a intrygującą oprawę graficzną płyty stworzył Mateusz Holak. Obok tej płyty nie da się przejść obojętnie! 

Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet - SUNDAY (Envee Saturday Mix) [UKM 044]

This is the first time I recorded a mix from my vinyl collection. A window into some of my favorite records I like to listen at home...

a worldwide sentiment - select 70s vinyl records

In 1972, Orchestre Abass released two incredible singles on Polydor. These records - featuring Samarin Banza, Haka Dunia and other afrofunk masterpieces - were powerful enough to knock any music head out, but it wasn’t until the discovery of some unreleased material by the band that the seeds for this project were planted. 

It all happened in 2008 in Ghana. I was going through some tapes that had previously been the property of PolyGram one of the major record companies based in west Africa. In the late 80s political instability and curfews had paralysed the music industry forcing Polygram to close their Ghanaian subsidiaries leaving all of their recordings behind. These recordings had been packed in boxes and left vegetating in an Accra warehouse for three decades until I came along. To my surprise all of the tapes looked unharmed and I was particularly relieved to hear that the Orchestre Abass tape was in an excellent state of condition. I began fiddling around with the idea of releasing an album of the band and that plan got an additional boost with le “coup de grace” which had landed in the form of an ultra rare tune called Honam discovered in Sotoboua, a small northern Togolese town in the middle of nowhere. That find completed this selection.

I had previously discovered some similar music in Northern Benin and in Nigeria and I started picturing an area that spread all the way from Northern Ghana to Northern Cameroon, an area I dubbed ‘The Islamic funk belt’ due to the fact that Super Borgou de Parakou, Napo De Mi Amor, Uppers International and Hamad Kalkaba just to name a few - all from that ‘belt’ - were groups made up of musicians with an Islamic background. This can be felt and heard in the music and particularly in the singing since many of the musicians had attended koranic schools and the languages used in the songs often had Arabic elements fused in - Orchestra Abass was one of them. 

With their heavy, organ-led sound combining with the deftest of musical touches, these records were the work of a rhythmic powerhouse and we are honoured to be in a position to present the recordings of Togo´s funkiest Band.

Unfortunately Malam Issa Abass, the founder, guitarist and organ player of the band, was killed in 1993 by a grenade thrown into his bedroom and to help me reconstruct the biography of the band I tracked down Thon Komla, one of the band´s songwriters and Abderaman Issa, the guitar player of the band. 

All the music was licensed directly from the various composers of these songs. The vinyl is pressed on 180 High Quality Virgin Vinyl and the gatefold contains previously unseen pictures and a detailed biography of the might band.
