Mix Series

O coletivo de DJs e produtores Desert Island Disco, de Bristol via Londres, tem uma inclinação para compartilhar música de groove e alma, atravessando o contínuo tempo-espaço.

Embora as palavras "raro, exótico, desconhecido" sejam muitas vezes sobre-utilizadas na cultura da pesquisa musical, o DID dá corpo a estas expressões, com um mix irresistivelmente inglês: street soul, digi reggae, preciosidades dos anos 80 e 90, e sons que podem ser vagamente classificados em algum lugar do espectro disco / house compõem esta dose de serotonina musical, capaz de alegrar qualquer ouvido!

1. Lovely selection! We’d love to know what inspired you to start collecting vinyl, and how do you go about buying new music?
 
When I was younger, around 12, I’ve loved to find new Music on Youtube and collect them all in my self-created Playlists over there. After a few months, I dreamed about to could hold all this music in my hands, physically. Because, what will I do when Youtube is shutting down one day? This would be one of my biggest nightmares - so I started with collecting vinyl.
 
To find new jams, Youtube is still a good platform, when you’re in the right algorithm. Instagram is dope for sure, there is so much good stuff posted every day. You just need to save it and come back later if you haven’t the time yet.
 
Most of the Music I buy online I get from Bandcamp. When I watch out for vinyl, there’s nothing better than a Sunday morning at  the flea market.
 
 
2. We heard quite a few familiar voices, do you have any favourite vocalists or groups?
 
There are a lot of boogie or funk records which you can play at a packed floor and the B-Side are perfect for a dinner for two.
 
To give you a list from my favorites it wouldn’t fit in that form but to name a few it’s Luther Vandross, Surface, Loose Ends, The Manhattans and most of the stuff that is produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis. It’s that 80’s Slow Jam sound, which is main focused on soulful vocals and smooth arrangements. Some call it Grown ’n Sexy.
 
 
3. Can you tell us a bit about the history of cologne is for lovers and kickin’ up dust?
 
Of course. Before I was a DJ, I was a promoter and I still am. I did a monthly party which goes by the name of  ’The Get Down’. As you can probably guess, it was a 90’s Hip Hop Party mixed with late 70’s Funk & Disco.
After 3 Years of running that monthly night and getting more and more into the nightlife as a teenager, I wanted to start something new. A night where are no musical barriers and where I can also make my own experiences as a DJ.
 
The CIFL night is now running for over 4 Years at different venues in Cologne and started as a Open Air.
Check it out if you’re in town!
Kickin’ up dust was a quick idea which came up last summer to throw a spontaneous party here in Berlin.
After the government turns the Corona regulations a bit down, and we spotted a cool venue, we needed a name for the party. So there it was! But to come to the point, kickin’ up dust is our new baby here in Berlin. Right now in corona time it’s just an irregular mix series where we invite friends & friends from friends. But let’s see what will happen, when clubs are re-opening in a few weeks.
And for those who doesn’t already know, kickin’ up dust is a track by Peven Everett.

@plattenaffine

1. We saw that you love playing records, and by extension, collecting them. Could you guide us through your preferred way of finding some little gems to share with your audience?

A lot of my records I bought at flea markets or small shops, find them on the street or get them for my birthday :)


2. You are playing a lot in festival and bigger clubs of Berlin and around - how do you manage to connect with the big crowds during your sets?

Good question I never thought about how to do it, I think it just happens through the music, I love my music and I get happy listening to my records and if I am happy the people get happier too, I guess.


3. The tunes that you gracefully played in your set for Paradisco are mostly things from quite a few decades ago; is there any particular time-era that you like the most in the music history of the world?

I love music from the eighties, for me this was just the best time, where a lot of really great music comes from.

Master Phil Spéciale Cover Vol IV: Dance Edition - 26 Mai 2023

Tunesday Recordings proudly presents its third release, bringing the two balearic pop originals "Brazilian Breeze" and "Mysterious Nights" from the sought-after 1986 LP "Leaving You" by Preludio to today's dance floors. The Italo-influenced songs mark the very first work of Peter LaSalle who has made a name for himself with several releases under the moniker Sound Surgeons in the 2000's.

As a first endeavour under the moniker DNA (standing for Danny, Norm & Andres), the trio centered around Andres Astorga aka Trujillo brings out their own vsionary reworks with nothing but the songs' titles as inspiration. On "Brazilian Breeze", they dive deep into an ocean-blue rippling with cool synthesizer sequences and steel drums. "Mysterious Nights" teases you into a Linn Drum-driven adventure in which hazy waves mingle with late 80's guitar licks and soothing brasses.

Many thanks to Peter LaSalle for making this reissue possible and many thanks to Santi Oviedo for literally revising the original artwork.

Interview snippet:
- We listened to your set during a Friday in Mid-July while it was raining by a low 20 degrees. When recording this delight, what kind of scenery did you have in mind for you & for the listeners?

I recorded this on a sunny Sunday afternoon into the evening and wanted to convey a warm and serene feeling as I was dreaming of an upcoming trip to the Italian coast. 

- We have been served here with an eclectic palette of genres & groove - how do you dig your tracks in general?

I love all kinds of music and am always looking for new and interesting stuff that I can draw from for whatever I need for the moment. I try to keep it simple and play what I am currently enjoying or feeling at that moment. I also love focusing on one particular style or sound as well sometimes for my radio show on Refuge Worldwide or for gigs. I really enjoy the flexibility to be able to share a wide range of music I enjoy with people whether it's an eclectic mix or one style. I don't believe any artist should be pigeonholed to one style even if that's what they're known for, I think everyone is free to express themselves how they see fit. 

- What is the most important message that you like to convey in your sets? 

I want to convey an unpredictable but fun and easy going vibe with a variety of moods and sounds where anything could be played. I want people to have fun, to hear lots of different styles of music and to be pleasantly surprised about what they hear. 


Tracklist:
Finis Africae - Ceremonia Magica en El Estranque

1. What an amazing mix, thank you so much for that! May we ask how your journey into jazz began?
I definitely grew up listening to a great deal of jazz and classical music: my grandma would have WQXR, NYC's classical music radio station, on at all times in the kitchen; and my mother would go from one Thelonius Monk album to the next in the living room. So I've always been passionate about jazz, even more so when I found out my grandfather -who passed away before I was born, was the biggest jazz fan. His favorite track was Glenn Miller's Moonlight Serenade, which will always hold a special place in my heart. I truly feel like jazz is the one genre capable of making you dance, weep, smile and swoon all in the span of one track.


2. How do you go about discovering new music?
I definitely go through phases: I'll listen to the same mix or playlist for a few consecutive weeks until I'm sick of it and forced to have an intense digging week -which usually involves around 90 open tabs at once at 3AM. I mostly find music through bandcamp, soundcloud, youtube -my personal favorite, and, when i'm lucky, I just wake up to an email from a friend sending me new tracks.


3. What are your thoughts on covers of tracks? We heard a cover we couldn't ID and would be curious to hear how you feel about them!
I absolutely adore covers ahah When I was a teenager, I got obsessed with this music collective called Postmodern Jukebox, that would make jazz covers of top pop hits -a 1950's Doo Wop cover of Miley Cyrus' We Can't Stop or a 1920's Gatsby style cover of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance... I've always found it fascinating when an artist is able to reinterpret a classic in a completely different tone or genre. I would even go as far as to say that a lot of hits we listen to today are actually covers of the original tracks; and especially in jazz, the most known versions of standards are almost always reinterpretations of the original compositions.

We're happy to present our 24th mix by the Berlin-based DJ Planet 8, with elements of dub, disco, future jazz and more.

 1. We heard quite a deep dub influence in the mix, where does that inspiration come from?

For me, dub reflects an aesthetic approach that I like and strive to hear in my mixes. I am also fascinated by the influence that certain production techniques related to dub music had on various dance music genres, making them - in my opinion - more pleasing and interesting.

2. How do you go about digging new music?

I have a meticulous way of wading through obscure labels and artists on discogs.com, hopping from link to link to link (the research process being probably at least partly influenced by my training as a social scientist). Apart from that, I use Soundcloud and Instagram to keep track of current releases. Then I also like to dig for actual records in actual stores, especially when I’m visiting new places.

3. What is your relationship to disco and hip hop? There were a few superb selections we really enjoyed! Thanks for the great mix!

I used to produce hiphop instrumentals for my rapping friends as a teenager, making extensive use of sampling. This, in turn, led me to dig first into jazz, then soul, then funk, and finally disco music. Naturally, my first DJ sets were composed of the more dance-y tunes of these genres. From there, house music wasn’t far. What has always striked me about house - and what I am still looking for in the genre - is a specific approach that reminds me of hiphop: raw, organic, sometimes rough, yet subtle and reduced, combined with a DIY-aesthetic.

Thank you guys so much for the sweet words and the opportunity to showcase some of the music I like!

We're delighted to present our latest mix and interview by Berlin-based musical explorer and radio show host Funky Fasching! A velvety smooth and soft mix to transport you to a sweeter place for an hour.

For the full interview, check our substack: 

Here is a snippet of the interview:

1) Some very lush strings, chords & saxos delighting our senses all the way through - could you guide us through your thought process while you selected your tracks?

I wanted to make a sweet and sensual mix and thought of a soft pink cloud that takes you away from the freezing cold and gray Berlin winter for an hour.
The trickiest part for me was to find a strong and meaningful opener that would also work as a headline for the whole mix. At first, I had a completely different track in mind. But then I threw all my plans overboard after discovering this great UK underground soul compilation "Just a Touch", which was recently released on the Athens of the North label. When I heard "Passion" by Taffy for the first time, I immediately knew and felt: This is it! It also asks this great and important question: "What would we do without passion?", which invites you to think about who or what makes your life special and what passion means to you personally. After the first track was set, I digged some balearic and r&b records from the mid 80s to early 90s, but also some dream pop and indie pieces with a similar smooth and breezy vibe that fit into the whole mood. And so one thing led to another.

02/12/2020 - LYL Radio with @archivedigital 

Outside of the classic Psychedelic, Oriental, and Army Band records exists a category of Israeli music that is largely ignored - these are Israel’s 12” Maxi Promos 

These single-sided promotional releases were mostly pressed during late 80s to early 90s, and were produced in very few numbers mostly being provided as DJ and radio copies. Their music was either deemed too experimental or too unusual for commercial appeal with the majority never seeing an official release. It is safe to assume that outside of this mix a lot of these records are nowhere to be found. 

This mix is intended to be an exploration of the Israeli Promo 12” and it’s different sounds - Unidentified Flying Music and Archive Digital.
