it's a mix like one beautiful story! thanks, it's awesome)

Long time dear friend Jonny Rock (@jonnyrock) from London up in the mix for the 33rd in our MFM Mix series. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Thanks for the mix and for taking time to answer these questions Jonny. Whatsup? 

JR: It is an absolute honor to do the mix and thanks for twisting my arm for the interview. Surfin’ the wild waves of the times at the moment… hanging tight on the board, but like water.. finding my way, with huge amounts of entertaining falls.

MFM: I once read you saying wanting to go “...fucking off from London, moving to LA or somewhere else”. Why would you want to trade London for another place?

JR: London is an addiction. been here since ’91 so hard to get it out of the system. working on a sunnier outlet to share the time which on its own puts a smile on my face but still enjoying London for its dirt and being versatile. LA is still and always in my heart for its sun and people.  

MFM: Looking at your discography your studio outcome is an almost equal balance of your own works and edits. Would you say other people's music is a major source of inspiration and motivation? Do you have a steady pace/rhythm of producing or...?

JR: Other peeps music I listen to is of course a huge inspiration or motivation. Even with ‘original‘ works I always have a trigger point. An inspiration from a record.. a dusty loop from somewhere. I play guitar but I am not an analog machine man (burn him burn him). I love samples, loops, rolandcloud on the go… but no particular pace tbh. sometimes a random focused period comes out fruitful. Sometimes it just doesn’t work so I leave it. It’s a sign that I need to have a break in my head. Edits come up as I find songs so the balance must be coincidental. 

MFM: You're the first guest on the mix series who actually requested to keep the comments off. Does it have to do with the 'music like water' principle these days?

JR: Well this idea also came out of the lost year. I was away from mixing for a while and podcast to-do pile had grown. And thought maybe one can try to rebalance listening to music and the way music is shared and searched. While the world is taken over by clicks and likes and online hangouts, thought maybe we push the talks and search back on real people interaction. From my side I asked kindly to the people I did the podcasts for, as an experiment…. let’s try it. Move away from ‘track id’s’ etc.     

MFM: You seem to be a romantic kinda guy with an old school approach when it comes to exploring and experiencing and valuing music. Does the '2021 way' offer only downsides from your point of view, or...?  

JR: I try to hang on to my own journey with belt and braces, so not to lose my values, and mind. A daily exercise sometimes to stop time and re-align to keep on staying true. Like all artforms there is controversy bubbling up in the speed of light everywhere with ‘kind’ help of the ‘social media’…  

MFM: Word on the street is that you've got a new thing coming up, a new label. Tell us all about it!!!

JR: Yessss its true … ‘Jonny Rock Orijinal’. A label for me by me featuring me. ‘Not an edit’ will probably write at the back of a t-shirt at some point. I felt it was the right time to have an outlet for the various explosions of my mind. Hopefully out in the wild by January. Hamam series is also branching out to a ‘Hamam Originals’ imprint too. 

MFM: Thanks too for the mix! Any specific theme or records or vibe you had in mind before or while recording it? 

JR: Not really to be honest. Tako is a huge influence and a great bud so when he asked, woke up instantly from my cosmic hibernation and wanted to do a dj mix with some of the grooves I found lately. I don’t think I played any of those records out yet so was also an excitement of playing them for the first time. I hope to get a few 👌's 🤟's 🔥's 💥's. Ah wait …comments are off so probably not.

Lauer is back on Trush, his last appearance was back in 2013, so it's great to have another mix from the DJ and production machine and all around nice guy form Killianstädten. Mr Lauer gives us an 59:58 minute mix of balearic, house and electro sounds. Almost everything with Lauers distinct taste of the sound from the 80's with a modern twist! The drum programming, the synths and arpeggio, melodies and the sound. Italo influenced electro becoming house! Uplifting as always! A mix to enjoy from beginning till the end!

Music from the top! Enjoy!

Sound Metaphors Mix Series 12 : Eden Burns

Among the terms that lie at the core of our shared lexicon as music lovers, “discovery” might be one of the most fundamental in expressing the drive behind each and every one of our efforts. It may seem simple, but it is a complex notion that involves many actions and sensations, from learning things and taking risks to finding rewards and building knowledge. Discovering is a quintessential part of our collective identity, a unique way of being and feeling, since unveiling parts of reality that were hidden from us is both a way of creating ourselves and the world around us. So, when this talented discoverer of musical artifacts decided to use the Ancient Greek word for it as his moniker, he wasn’t just trying to name himself but mainly to come up with a precise definition for what he is and does as an artist. Thus, Anacalypto can be many things at once, the main one being exactly what guides every single one of his initiatives and animates relentless dancing journeys such as this mix: that perennial sense of wonder that tapping into the unknown brings into our lives.
