A short while ago, @freedomofgroovement sat down for conversation with Vish and Mazen from @dardisku. The aim was to understand the musical roots of this duo experiencing a meteoric rise. The result? A decade, continent and genre-spanning playlist: hip hop, bollywood, rock n roll, indie, raï, dubstep and disco. Definitively demonstrating that our influences are always all around us, and when you live the globe-trotting life these two have, there’s no borders on any dancefloor.

A Month Of Sundays (thursday)

Freedom of Groovement is on a mission to share the best and most significant music from around the world. For their residency on Radio TNP, they're hearing from the DJs and artists themselves, allowing them to take us on a journey through their musical roots. For their first episode, they spoke to Ethiopian band Admas, whose 1984 LP "Sons of Ethiopia" was recorded in Washington DC and recently reissued in New York's @frederiksbergrecords. Their influences are as diverse as the album itself, but mainly rooted in the jazz of Grover Washington, Weather Report and Azymuth, plus a surprising shoutout to country legends Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton. We hope you can join us and Admas. As always, no borders on the dancefloor.

Growing Bin say sayonara to summer with these bittersweet Balearic gems from Japan’s Nuback. Emotional pop and daydream dub to make you feel younger than yesterday.

While the Discogs hipsters hastily hunt down the last, lost street soul OGs, Growing Bin choose instead to indulge in a little Nuback swing. Enlisting the talents of Tokyo’s Dai Nakamura, Hamburg’s home for sensitive sounds provide a much needed vinyl release for the misty-eyed ‘When The Party Is Over’ and ‘Heartbeat Summer’.

Largely operating through his own Too Young Records, Nuback trades in textured soul, sympathetic synthesis and forlorn funk - a master at making you move while breaking your heart. Back in 2013, he waved ‘Goodbye To Summer, Again’, giving a digital release to these two tracks, which lurked a little low for the radar until Dai and Basso met somewhere beyond the algorithm, soon bringing this release to bloom.

Opening with a fanfare of featherlight pads and full bodied bass, ‘When The Party Is Over’ is pure sonic seduction, holding both Balearic boogie and City Pop in a tender embrace. Delicate guitar and sparkling sequences tug the heartstrings with nostalgic beauty, and Dai’s smooth vocals are made to make you swoon. Emotional pop at its finest folks.

On the B-side, ‘Heartbeat Summer’ drops the tempo and soaks up the sun, losing its cares in a haze of loved up dub. As soulful keys sink into spring reverb and steam kettle synths ride a rolling bassline, this downbeat delight lays back in the long grass, making shapes from the clouds and sipping a cool koshu. For summer lovers everywhere; 
A facemask ruins a first kiss, so start your romance right with Nuback.
Patrick Ryder

Where In the World aims to give a voice to artists from all over the globe to share their musical roots. The next installment comes from @gabrielbadwan based in Curitiba, Brazil. Though eccentric to the musical centers of São Paulo and Rio, Curitiba of late boasts a small but vibrant scene. As the head of @hmtwtrilhasonora there, Gabriel is in the envious position to dig for Brazilian gems at local second hand shops or ‘sebos’. The show is focused on some of these finds, jazz and boom-bap street soul from the 80s onwards. The way Gabriel put these tracks together loosely tells the story of his country, and what makes Brazil so special to him, despite all the darkness there at the moment. At a time when words can sometimes fail you, Gabriel lets the music do the talking.

Tracklist
1. Torcida Pimenta Mexicana Groove - Guerrinha
2. Rap do Sul - J Clip
3. Batida Paulista - Carlinhos e DJ Cuca
4. Amazonia - MC Vappo e Nailton
5. Movimento Infinito - Sampa Crew
6. Sonho de Minha Rainha (Instrumental) - DJ Raffa
7. Armas - Geração Rap

Where In the World's global journey through artists' musical roots continues with DJ and producer Moving Still (@movingstill). As a producer his dancefloor rocking hits have circled around the world in the hands of your favorite DJs, and include releases on Nail Shop Records, Orange Tree Edits, Dar Disku Records and most recently Jive Hive. Though he's best known for his danceable edits of forgotten Arabic hits dug out from dusty cassettes, Moving Still's influences extend beyond the Gulf and include 90s dance, his own start as a hip hop DJ and the ambient music of Aphex Twin. As a DJ, he's a resident on Dublin Digital Radio where he and his guests showcase (in his own words) 'ouddy bangers' and on Palestine's Radio Al Hara where he takes a more relaxed approach. In this show, Moving Still takes us through his early days DJing hip hop and opening for MF DOOM, how sampling Arabic sounds helped him affirm his own cultural identity and how ambient music helped him complete his PhD in immunology. The tracklist for this episode is all Killer no Filler, and includes a couple exclusive as yet unreleased tracks from Moving Still, one which is out on Jive Hive next month and one ambient track that will probably never see a full release. Thanks to Jamal for speaking with us, we hope you enjoy!
