Café Del Mar Tribute 89' by DJ Don Juan (a.k.a. ffan)

Making your debut on a label as revered as Theo Parrish's Sound Signature tends to ensure people sit up and take notice. It happened with Marcellus Pittman back in 1999, it happened with Andrew Ashong last year, and it's most certainly happened with Jay Daniel. Released back in September, the Scorpio Rising EP presented Daniel as a producer whose style was wedged somewhere between the scuffed, rawness of Kyle Hall and the underlying warmth of an Omar S track. This auspicious debut hints that Daniel has plenty more to offer and complements his growing reputation among the new generation of Detroit talents as a highly skilled DJ.

A debut set at last year’s Movement festival led the Boiler Room crew to christen Daniel "one of the most exciting new discoveries we made in Detroit," while he also presides over the Fundamentals night with Wild Oats boss Kyle Hall. This was reason enough to extend an invitation to Jay to become the first Detroit resident to contribute a Juno Plus mix this year, and we were pleasantly surprised with the results. As happy as we are when an invited producer or DJ drops a chunk of unreleased material from their contemporaries, it's also nice to see someone elect for a different approach as Daniel has done, sifting through his collection for a wonderfully blended 59 minutes of soul, jazz and hip hop.

We took the opportunity to quiz Daniel over email on his introduction to DJing, how he came to release on Sound Signature, what he has planned for the future, and the best place to go digging for records in Detroit. You can read that here: http://t.co/XyscFhl41O

Brazil 1967-1981

Copenhagen based party starter Dj Universe presents a mix of 100% Azymuth: 

"In February 2015 my friends Sean and Anthon booked Azymuth for a show in Copenhagen and somehow I ended up juggling the roles of being the designated driver, camera man and warm up DJ for the concert. I will never forget those days. The group turned the depressing Danish winter into summer at the snap of a finger just with their presence and the concert itself had one of the most diverse audiences I’ve ever experienced in Copenhagen, all coming together under the warm Azymuth groove. 

Narrowing down 40 years of great music down to a 1h 47m mix was a tough process and I know there are some obvious ones missing, nevertheless I tried my best to grasp and represent the versatile soundscape the group has left behind. The mix spans over 4 decades and about 75 BPM, from the shade of the palm tree to the floor in the club, and I hope it can provide just a little of the magic that I felt witnessing the group play live."
