1 Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection

My name is Eve alias Selecta Kwaby. To keep it short… when I play strictly Jamaican flavoured music it’s Selecta Kwaby’s turn. ;) When I play it in a global way without fixed on style and musical boarders it’s Eve’s turn! ;) I live in the South of Germany in a wonderful city with the Name Tübingen.  I started to collect records around 2005. In this time it was not much known about the late obscure 70s and early 80s of Jamaican and UK Reggae productions. The only chance was to get them on vinyl. Therefore, it all began. I’m deeply connected with Jamaican Music.  However, there was and is also much love for many different styles. Eve likes it funky, fuzzy, groovey, raw and sometimes folky but global. Selecta Kwaby loves it with bass. My goal is always to dig deep into it. I would not call me a DJ but a collector… and I love to take my records out.  

2 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7”. Can you tell us a bit about what you love about this format?

Hehe, this is a good question. Nowadays you can find a lot of tunes on compilations that were only released on 7 inches back in the days, but for me it’s not about to have the song, but it’s about to have it on 7 inch. Why? Because the 7 inch is the real deal for me! It’s about the one song on it! Okay, if you have luck, you have a double sider. Moreover, well, sometimes you have an EP that runs on 45. You drop the needle and you listen to the track you want to listen to. That’s what it’s all about. And don’t forget: The picture sleeves the label sleeves, hehehe. Another 45 nerd told me it’s an erotic thing about the 7 inches and well, yeah that fits. 

3 Four hours of vinyl goodness…can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

For me a guest mix is always an opportunity to sort out some tunes for something special. This mix deals not with funky stuff. This one is about to be psychedelic and raw. Some tunes are downtempo, some are uptempo! And hell yeah, some are really weird and freaky. I sorted out tunes form 16 countries. Mostly 60s to 70s, but also some contemporary tunes. Some play clean and some are dusty. It starts in Russia and ends in Peru. Every continent is represented. 

4 Where can people catch you/ listen to your music?

Im a member of a Reggae Sound (Roots Typhoon) and a member of Global Taste Project. You can find mixes on Mixcloud.  I played at many places in Tübingen and Stuttgart. And sometimes I was invited to play in other cities in Germany. In Tübingen we have “Drehscheibe Tübingen”, a very familiar thing,  where we come together as collectors, DJ’s, and we spin records together. 

Top 5 all-time records

Ahahaha, this question. Well there is so much music out there, it would be easier, if you ask top 5 from Peru or Thailand or US but well let’s try it for 45s of course.

45/7 #79 ARTIST: SELECTA KWABY ALIAS EVE

Johnny Drama (Entourage Skit)

Presenting 'Dots,' the latest musical venture by the talented Naima Faraò.
This soulful and introspective album transcends genres, blending the captivating elements of contemporary jazz, soul, and RnB. A captivating journey that mirrors the artist's profound perspective, 'Dots' invites listeners to explore the nuances of solitary moments, the strength in closure, and the resilience found in the smallest details.

The album is heralded by the mesmerizing single, "Buoyancy Of Water" featuring the renowned Ilhan Ersahin. Naima Faraò's evocative quote sets the tone for the album, describing the dot as a symbol of conclusion and the beginning of new chapters. Each dot encapsulates stories, layers of experiences, and the opening of new scenarios, making it a potent metaphor for the artist's introspective journey.
"Dots" is not just an album; it's a process of elaboration and rebirth. It echoes thoughts born from the collisions of real life, an intricate and delicate inward journey to grasp suspended moments and unite the points of an ever- changing trajectory.

As the album unfolds, Naima Faraò invites you to join her on a musical exploration of new territories, unfamiliar paths, and the courage to push beyond. "Dots" is more than a collection of tracks; it's an immersive experience that unveils the beauty found in the details and the courage required to evolve.

Roll Back In

Born from the silent pulse of the cosmos, light filters through the veils of shadow and unfolds into invisible forms. Horizons dissolve into constellations, and breath becomes the force that bends the firmament. Radiance flows like tides through the silence, cradling the last embers of distant suns. In the radiance of a dawn without beginning, time forgets its path and infinity opens its eyes.

Alex Puddu did it again! 

The record you are holding in your hands is the third (and final?) instalment of the soundtrack composed by our hero for the third chapter of the DVD series “The Golden Age of Danish Pornography 1970-1974”. The project began in 2011, with the release of a collection of twelve 8mm vintage hardcore short movies from the early 70s directed by the pioneer of Danish porn cinema Freddy Weiss. A second DVD published by Jan Schmidt's Pink Flamingo Entertainment followed in 2014. 

But the thing is that this third DVD has never been produced, and never will be… 
So what’s the deal with this soundtrack? 

So to boil it down, some of the tracks Alex was working on were almost completed; it took him little effort to finish those/ polish them off and add some outtakes originally thought for the first two albums and there we go! 

Enough? Absolutely not! 

So here's "Black Orgasm" (previously published only on 7” with the b-side "Naughty girls at the wild party" on Schema), "Sex Bar", "XXX Action" and "Feeling Saxy": for the first time these 4 tracks, which appeared only on a single or as CD bonus tracks on Volume 1, are now pressed on vinyl! 

This ‘circle of pleasure’ comes to a closing, at least for what concern the soundtrack. 

In fact, the guy behind this project is Jan Schmidt: a close friend of Alex, sharing his taste for Italian movies from the 60s and 70s and a love for their unparalleled soundtracks, Jan is the same old friend that produced Alex at the beginning of his solo artist career, with Alex Puddu and The Butterfly Collectors, right after the success of the Puddu-Varano duo. 
When Jan decided to produce this DVD series and started to restore the original films, he realised that the original audio was lost forever, and immediately thought of involving Alex in writing a new soundtrack. He loved Alex’s groovy porn sound so deeply to feel compelled to write the liner notes of his second volume of tracks for The Golden Age of Danish Pornography. 

And there is in fact a leitmotif that subtly connects these three X-rated albums, a red light that glows and illuminates the faces of the actors, a recognisable mark deriving from the perfect knowledge of the sound that made Italian library music and soundtrack famous in the past decades. And even this time, Alex is doing (almost) everything by himself – writing, arranging producing and performing by himself with little help from a few trusty friends.
