Lately there’s been a lot of old DJ Harvey and Daniele Baldelli mixes in my ears, so naturally I’ve been digging for that lush, spacey Balearic sound. From there I’ve zig zagged between late 80s NYC, early 90s Ibiza, and the cosmic birthplace that was mid 70s Italy. 

When I’m not digging, I geek out hard and read, watch docos, and listen to podcasts on music history. The stories behind the Loft, Studio 54, and iconic beachside clubs like
“Baia Degli Angeli” (Bay of Angels) are pure gold and they helped pave the way for the cosmic wave we’re still riding today. This mix is my salute to that era, along with some more recent releases for good measure. Enjoy!

Hello! It is I Fritte D. I'm back behind the wheels of steel this time as well as behind the computer screen writing this. Not my cuppa tea and biscuit to write about myself so just gonna leave this recording here. And we will see you soon with future epic deejay performances. This one was just to keep the Bladee art visitors around.

We appreciate the love this series had so far!

Here we go again with another travel mix. This time only records I found during my workation in Lisbon. All music from Portugal. 🇵🇹 From Algarve Boogie to Azul Synth. This brings back some very nice memories to me, of going to every record store in the city, having drinks with new friends in the streets and dancing through lunch nights. I hope you enjoy this ride through Portuguese music as much as I do. 🌊🎶💙

With Sam Don in France, Marco the genius behind MLiR stepped up for a full takeover of Free Association.  But rather than do the usual 2-hours, in a first for FA, he went above and beyond, delivering 4 hours of sonic delights! 

Cut to only 2 hours when it went out live on radio, this is the full fat version with all four delectable hours!
