Exclusive - Lindstrøm Live

This hour-long session is a rare live set, taken from @feedelity's headline performance last year at Trópico Festival in Acapulco, Mexico. @tropicomx
http://www.tropicomx.com/

"Walking around and seeing turtles, flamingos, and just enjoying the tropical climate of Mexico...there's something special about that because I'm from Norway and we just had snow two weeks ago.

This is a mix of my own material, most of the songs are rearranged or edited a little bit to work better in a live set context. I usually select some old songs, some new ones, and some unreleased material, then try different things in the live mix. I don't usually share my live sets because they don't feel as exciting to me after the fact, though they do feel really great when playing live."

Our brother, our friend, our family. This is the last recorded dj set from Navid Izadi at our beloved Sunset Campout 2018. Closing out the Beach Stage on Friday evening from a day of frolicking in and around the Feather River. Navid matured and defined his musical prowess in our community over many years and it was an honor to have him perform several times here. The first mix to go up is in honor of a man with an open heart that poured love into his music and all the people he connected with. We will miss you, your laughter, and infectious smile dearly. Your music and charisma will live on forever in all of us!

Peak time hours at the Disko Disko 東京 Japan Special at a sold out Filmcafe Utrecht. It was quite a trip. All tracks are Japanese or produced/sung by a Japanese artist. Classics, staples, killers, easy and hard to find audio waves.

04092020 Tiger & Woods Djset @ Alcazar for DOT MUSIC LIVE

I first met Andrew Weatherall about 15 years ago when he played for us at Autodisco in Dundee. Dave Bowie, who I ran the night with, was a good friend of his. I had to pick him up at the airport and as always he turned up looking like a maverick man of style and attitude while demanding instant hashish. Half way through the journey he said something like this ‘Barrington (I had never been called this before but immediately took to it) my nicotine habit way exceeds the length of this current journey’ and I told him he was welcome to spark up. For years afterwards my kids used to say when they smelt cigarette smoke in the car, ‘has Andrew Weatherall been in town?’.
 
Weatherall played for us many times at Autodisco and then I started doing the ALFOS nights in Dundee with him and Sean. To be honest I loved what Sean did for Andrew. I think he allowed him to play a load of non-techno music that he had been wanting to express (again) for years.
 
I remember having a real promoter moment early on at the first ALFOS night in Dundee when someone was carried out of the packed dance floor around 11.30pm…I thought shit, what’s it going to be like at 3am!!!
 
As well as doing nights together in my city we spent quite a bit of time hanging out at festivals in the summer whether on sun beds in Croatia, stone boats in North Wales, caravans in Glastonbury or wherever.
 
I have to say he was one of those guys that kind of taught you how to do things properly. How to be a good guy. How to be a good DJ. I will not forget that. You always seemed to learn things around Andrew as well as laugh your tits off.
 
Anyway I am digressing…back to the current story.
 
For years as blanket-bombing digital promotion in dance music took hold, Andrew was the only guy I knew who preferred the personal touch to emails. So I used to text or call him on the blower and send him regular CDs of our latest stuff. He liked a hard copy. The stuff I sent was from the various labels we ran over the years and sometimes just random bits and pieces we made for DJing, which I thought he might like. After all Andrew playing it really meant something.
 
I called these CDs ‘Weatherall’s Bits’ which seemed to amuse him.
 
Anyway, recently during the non-stop lockdowns I have been switching my music over from an old laptop to a new one and I came across the ‘Weatherall’s Bits’ playlists on my itunes.
 
I cried when Andrew died. I heard about it at the airport and I cried. We didn’t know each other so well. But he was really kind and considerate to me as a producer, a promoter and a fellow human being. He encouraged me and always got back to me about my tracks. And he just seemed to have a real significance as a character in the generation of producers and DJs that he led by default, charisma and good taste.
 
He also did something that very few people do these days. He would pick a track out that no one else would play and he would make it his. He would play it until people got it. I loved that.
 
Anyway faced with deleting these playlists – ‘Weatherall’s Bits’ - I decided, as I hadn’t made any tribute to Andrew, to make a mix out of them. Mainly because I realised that, as often was the case with Andrew, he made me try to be better than I was. And the tracks I sent him were probably better than the ones I played. I certainly tried to send him the good stuff. If you thought Weatherall would like it then that was a good sign. And you always knew he would pick up on stuff other people would ignore.
 
I also just wanted to remember once more and it brought back a flood of memories doing this mix.
 
So here it is. This is my tribute to a lovely, funny, creative and truly inspiring man.
 
Cheers mate and thank you.

I hope you enjoy it.
 
Love Barrington x

Ray Mang is Laj is Raj Gupta. One of the premier disco producers since way back when and still clocking forwards in a future fashion with no sign of letting up. He landed his first 12” Number One in ’96 on Noid Recordings gaining widespread support in the clubs and on compilations. He has taken that wonky party sound and kept it moving on ever since.  He also runs the label Mangled and has released across too many labels to mention. He is prolific with the quality control on high.

He launched his own label Mangled in ’98 with a slew of killer 12-inches. Two albums followed: ‘Mangled’ (Eskimo) and ‘Mangled Again’ on his own imprint, as well as singles on R&S, Smash Hit and Bear Funk. Recent hits include ‘Bullet Proof’ on DFA featuring Lady Miss Kier, a disco-house reimagining of a P-funk classic; and the blissed-out Balearic gem ‘Look Into My Eyes’ which instantly became a firm favourite for many.

His many talents as a musician and producer have driven a wealth of collaborations: in bands Block 16 and Motif on seminal ’90s label Nuphonic; as Laj with the Idjut Boys on U-Star, or with Quakerman on their own Fiasco imprint; and with close musical acquaintances The Glimmers, Foolish Felix, Lee Tong and Nathan D’Troit.  More recently Ray has teamed up with Bill Brewster to form Mang Dynasty.  In all his guises Ray Mang is one of the most prolific contributors to the UK disco/house canon.

As a remixer his phone never stops ringing.  He’s notched up credits for  Lassigue Bendthaus, Banda Black Rio, Gorillaz, Shirley Bassey, Grand National, Beck, Roxy Music / Bryan Ferry, Doves, The Phenomenal Handclap Band, Freddie Mercury, Bloc Party, Munk, Rob Garza, Friendly Fires, Classixx, S-Express, Daniel Grau & Los Amigos Invisibles with Dimitri From Paris to name just a few.
 
As a globe trotting DJ he plays at festivals, clubs, bars and on beaches in some of the most beautiful locations around the world.  His incendiary sets blend house, disco, boogie, cosmic, balearic, latin, afro, along with anything that takes his fancy and sneak previews of his own forthcoming monsters.  As happy playing peak time Saturday night as he is providing the soundtrack to your sunset moment in paradise.  Recent trips have taken him to Brazil, USA, Bali, Japan, Australia, Mexico, Croatia, Ibiza and all over Europe. He has also become a regular at festivals like Electric Elephant, Festival No 6, Campo Sancho and Mareh & O/NDA in Brazil.
