i got to travel a lot in north africa in the last years thru touring with blitz the ambassador and the studio session with oddisee for sawtuha in tunisia. while being there i did some digging and found some incredible music from the 60s and 70s. some of the music in this mix has zero info on the net, was never sold on ebay and has not been "rediscovered" yet. others are somewhat classics in the field of „arabic groove“. the music in this mix comes from morocco, libya, eggpt, algeria, lebanon and syria.

PRE-ORDER

Błoto - Chaga

Błoto - Soplówka

Earlier this month I was in North Africa for another digging trip and ended up finding quite some records I didn’t know before or I had no copy of so I felt it was time for another mix. After every mix I make I feel like „Uhh, getting enough records I like for the next one will be tough“. But every time I end up getting proven wrong by the rich musical heritage of Arabic musicians that worked on combining local influences with western musical traditions. Just like Dalton, the Tunisian band we just re-released on our new Habibi Funk label, who are also prominently featured on this mix.

Apart from the Dalton re-release that you can hear on our soundcloud we are working on rereleasing Fadoul’s music, Morocco’s answer to James Brown, who was also featured on the first two mixes. The artist himself passed in the early 90s but thru a countless number of leads we luckily ended up finding his family in Morocco, one of the highlights of my last trip but more from this later.

For now please enjoy the new mix featuring music from Sudan, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Lebanon. If you’re in Paris catch me playing some records at Institute Du Monde Arab on the 3rd of July…

"Habibi Funk 003 Mix" by Jannis of Jakarta Records (Mix of Arabic 60s & 70s vinyl)

With two critically acclaimed compilations already under his belt, DJ / collector miche returns to Mr Bongo with the third instalment of his With Love series. Testament to his ever-expanding taste, Volume 3 isn’t just a subs bench call-up from the past compilations, it’s an evolution and progression casting the net deeper and wider than before.

Keeping true to the series, but with some fresh surprises along the way, this carefully curated compilation is a celebration of soulful, independently released music from across the globe, and the amazing (often unsung) musicians and vocalists that made these sublime records.

Across the third volume, miche explores a jazzier side of his tastes. “The deeper I went, the more I found myself gravitating towards jazzier music - not leaving soul behind, but following that same feeling into new territory”, he explains. Tracks like the gliding jazz funk found on Late Nite Music Band’s ‘Sundance’, or the glorious jazz-soul number ‘In Flight’ by Spectrym are shining examples of this.

That defining soulful thread of previous volumes is still in full effect throughout this latest edition. “There’s a healthy dose of impossible-to-find soul gems that have that unmistakable, heartwarming feel. Tracks like John Simmons' 'Ain't Nothing Like The Love', which I've adored ever since Zaf Love Vinyl played it, sit perfectly alongside records like Le Cop and New Way”, states miche.

The addition of some top-tier Turkish music showcases another side to his ever-broadening taste. Nükhet Ruacan's 'Gölge' is something unique, a floaty Brazilian-inspired gem recorded in Turkey and not what you’d typically expect from Turkish records of this era.  

It also wouldn’t feel right to leave out a stop in Brazil, with miche looking to the work of Carlos Bivar whose track 'Amargo Amar' carries that undeniable groove of samba-funk from Rio.

Spreading the With Love message far and wide the series has led to miche DJing across the globe, “from batucada sessions in Timisoara, to all-night sets in a club in Beijing, and even an eight-hour Root Down With Love stage takeover at We Out Here festival, joined by Danilo Plessow, Jeremy Underground, and of course, my mentor and buddy Rainer Trüby.”

Volume 3 then, carries that message even further. It’s an eclectic but intentional collection, built for the music lover who wants to discover something new. Working just as well as a soundtrack to cook dinner to, as it does keeping a packed dancefloor moving into the small hours.

habibi mix #6 is done with a mixture of music from vinyl and this time cassette tapes. it ended up being very summer compatible and danceable. get to know what fadoul sounded like when he was playing around with rapping, disco from egypt, coladera from algeria, an arabic take on zouk music and much more. it also includes 2 tracks from egypts al massrieen which will be the next reissue on habibi funk. 

حبيبي ميكس #6 مزيج من موسيقى أسطوانات الفينيل و الكاسيت. هذا الميكس ملائم لأجواء صيفية راقصة. يمكنم التعرف من خلاله عن ما كان عليه فضول عندما كان يغني موسيقى الراب ، كما يمكنكم أن تتعرفو على موسيقى الديسكو من مصر، و أنغام الكولاديرا من الجزائر بالإضافة إلى أشياء أخرى.  إن هدا الميكس يحتوي أيضا على تسجيلين من المصريين . هذا الأخير سوف يكون عمل حبيبي فانك القادم إذ سوف نقوم بإعادة إحياء موسيقاهم.

"Habibi Funk 006 Mix" by Jannis of Jakarta Records (Funky Arabic mix for the summer)

When musicians become older quite (الترجمة العربية أسفله) out completely new musical directions. Fadoul is no stranger to this so in his 40s he became interested in early hip hop, dub and reggae. he recorded an album with 10 tracks playing around with some instrumental works he had found and yet created another unique record. THIS GUY IS A LEGEND! 

Shout out to Mehdi for selling us the only known copy of this tape. Reissue coming later this year. We printed some Bob Fadoul shirts which you can find here: https://habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.co...

عندما يبلغ الموسيقيون عمرا متقدما بعض الشيء في غالب الأحيان يتخدون توجهات موسيقية جديدة. فضول لم يكن بالغريب عن هذه العادة حيث بدأ يهتم بثقافة الهيب هوب و الريغي عند بلوغه الأربعين. قام هذا الأخير بتسجيل ألبوم يتكون من 10 مقاطع مستعملا تسجيلات موسيقية كان قد وجدها من قبل و صنع منها تسجيل جديدا و نادر من نوعه. هذا الرجل بمثابة أسطورة. 
نشكر مهدي الذي باع لنا النسخة الوحيدة المعروفة من هذا الألبوم. سوف نقوم بإعادة إحيائها قريبا في هذه السنة.

لقد قمنا أيضا بطباعة بعد التشيرتات ل "بوب فضول" يمكنكم أن تجدها هنا :

Blue Moon song By Franck Sinatra Piano and Sax Music
Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon!
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper "please adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
Blue moon!
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon!
Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
