TPS 051 - YEMENITE VOICES  - Selections and words by WoMu Vin
www.instagram.com/worldmusicvinyl/


"Yemenite Voices" is a selection of vinyl recordings (with the exception of 1 cassette track) of both legendary and rather obscure Yemenite artists. The tracks are in several Yemenite styles and range from early traditional recordings to more modern/orchestrated ones, spanning 4 decades (50s to 80s) in total; open your ears and hearts and you will hopefully enjoy most of them! 

It is worth noting that the reason for using Yemenite (يماني in Arabic) for the title, over Yemeni (يمني in Arabic), is that Yemeni generally refers to nationals of modern-day Yemen while Yemenite is the more inclusive term which includes anyone whose ancestors are from Yemen and identifies as being culturally Yemenite, regardless of where they were born or live.

TPS 053 - KARIŞIK LOKUM KUTUSU - Turkish record Selections by WoMu Vin

"Karışık Lokum Kutusu" translates to "A box of assorted Turkish delights", which I thought would be a fitting name to describe the variety of tracks in this all-vinyl mix recorded from OG Turkish records from the 70s and 80s, with a variety of styles including (but not limited to) modern takes on Anatolian folk, funk-infused pop and Arabesque. The mix features several artists including Arif Sağ, Zafer Dilek, Yıldıray Çınar and Hakkı Bulut, all of whom were highly influential in reinterpreting and modernising the music they performed and produced for other artists.

I am dedicating this mix to the dearly missed Mads Nimann Jensen (Instagram @madsnimann) whom we lost a year ago to the day (October 13th) as a result of terminal cancer. In losing Mads we lost a legendary collector, but more importantly, a legendary human being (anyone who has ever been in contact with him will know exactly what I mean by that).

From the two towering pillars of the Arab World’s Tarab, Om Kalsoum & Mohamed Abdel Wahab, comes another cult classic of Wa Maret El Ayam.

Entrancing, magnetic and transcendental all at once.

RMEP001 Music from the Soundtrack "Respectable Families" by Abdel Rahman El Khamissi - Faten

This is a special March 9th upload, as tonight the Worm Moon will appear in the sky, It's the last full moon of winter which tidal pull lures out earthworms from their wintersleep attracting the strangest nightly birds and cat beasts to feast on them. The selection therefore is all exactly from the Tropic of Cancer,  the most northerly circle of latitude on Earth at which the sun can be directly overhead. All of this results in an eclectic mix, perfect for a full moon ceremony, depending on the apogee and perigee of your specific location. Expect psychedelic tracks from Egypt, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, the Mexican gulf and more.

This mix was firstly distributed around the same time in 2010, as part of the anual Waxidermy mix swap.
