M August & J Castillo "Coast 2 Coast"

it's been a while... and we're back with a gentle bang a.k.a. a mix of the amazing Sanky @sankywashere!! 
Many of you will have had the pleasure to dive into his selections at other sites. Being a fan for a good while I dared to ask him for a mix and now we installed a window to his universe here at the bin too! As I always enjoyed the variety and finesse of his mixes I asked for his musical background and Sanky was so nice to share this with us: 
"My mother was a piano teacher and sometimes practiced with various classical musicians who were playing at city hall so the house almost always had strange, orchestral sounds emanating from the dusty front room. I can't play a note of piano as my hands don't seem to want to work together as 10 fingers but I can play some wind instruments and loved learning the trumpet, these strange organic sounds are something that I now realize feature heavily when out looking for records, weird sounds seem to mean as much as beautiful lyrics these days. I also think the varied pace of classical from Adagio all up to Presto might have influenced me more than I thought too. I've never really understood music in terms of bpm's but more on feeling. I'm 51 and I feel really lucky to grow up in a pre internet world on rare soul and jazz, boogie, soundtracks, samples and hip hop which provided another view of how incredibly different music really can be. Hearing Colin Curtis screaming down the mic at age 15 playing Margie Evans “Waterfalls” or watching David Mancuso drop “Whole Lotta Love” after Tamiko Jones “Can’t Live Without Your Love’ at 6pm in the afternoon and watch people lose their minds are things I feel truly lucky to have witnessed, genius at work for sure.
 
I just still look out for the oddness, especially on 7” as there is still so much undiscovered music there but also something that sounds familiar even when it’s not. I live in Mexico now and again due to what I hear day to day in the street (not just necessarily music) changes what I collect, the feeling of life here is softer and slower so this mix might have a piece of that in it. I hope you listen to the mix all the way through in a comfortable place you feel happy to be in. It has some of my most favorite records I play over and over…big love.

Let me know if you want to know what any of the tracks are and thanks to the main man Basso who’s been an inspiration for years. 

Cocktails on the beach for all…x

Dedicated to My Mother Kate. RIP."

THANKS SO MUCH SANKY!!!

“Not sure if you remember the record label 'The Balearic Sounds of …' and they would select an artist and re-release their most “balearic” cuts. So like Lucio Battisti, Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills & Nash etc etc. Artists that might be considered “pop” or “rock” but have a few island time heaters stashed in the back catalogue. It really opened my eyes to the fact that balearic music is a vibe moreso than a genre. This mix is a little bit of that, and a lot of the fact that I’ve always wanted to do a soft, dad rock, strummy guitar mix. Got some new, some old, some ambient, some sing-a-long. Even ventures away from the beach aesthetic and more into the untapped balearic landscape of cattle farms and dusty bush roads. Probably sounds best with your feet up on your back verandah, fresh VB stubby in hand, admiring the handiwork you’ve just bestowed on your lawn. Maybe with the barbie warming up…”

Apricot 65: Dawn Again

One of the truest stylists in DJing.

Although leaving behind only a small repertoire, sadly cut short by an early and unexpected passing, what we have left as evidence of his deep dedication to the pleasures of music is so unique and designed with such charming consistency, that when listened to, can only be Zecky’s selection.


Since the late 2000’s we studied the few mixes we could get our hands on obsessively, to the point where for example: we will never be able to hear Pats and Pat “Tobago” without the expectation of “City Lights” to be mixed in next, courtesy of the 2008 Ebisu Bar Jam recording. To us, Zecky became a sub genre of music — "Zecky style tracks" — something in the realms of what we might consider as Balearic, but still somehow blurring the borders of acceptable Italo-disco, and then coming way out of left field with something contemporary like Simply Red...and somehow it all made perfect sense. A lot of these tracks may seem obvious now, but keep in mind this was mid 2000’s, a lot of these tracks were still not known, discogs was not what it is today: contextually, the calliber of his research was heavy. Imagine living in a time when the idea of what a good DJ should be doing is minimal techno yet you’re a Japanese guy going to Italy to look for completely expired Italo material, one can only imagine the facial expressions and dialogues that might have emerged between Italian record store owners and Zecky throughout his digging travels.


The role that talent plays in the DJ "profession" can sometimes feel fuzzy, especially in the post social media/CDJ era. In our humble opinions however, listening to Zecky’s oeuvre gave this mystery a good amount of inspiring clarity. The aesthetic precision of his selection supported by his simple but flawless mixing created compositions so striking that the mixes became new stories or soundtracks to beautiful movies no one had ever seen before. It really felt like he was making something larger than the music he was using to compose these moments. A common (and disturbing) cliche one often hears when people go about describing a DJ’s work is the idea of being a “story teller”. To us Zecky genuinely put forth this idea on a meaningful level, his stories were some of the nicest of all.

We learned so much from Zecky.


Thank you for the music and happy birthday — Zecky would have been 54 today.


Thank you to Daisuke, his party partner, for making this possible ❤️

DJ 界での真のスタイリストの一人。
残念ながら、予期せぬ早すぎる死によって残されたレパートリーはわずかですが、音楽の楽しみに対する彼の深い献身の証拠として残されたものはとてもユニークで、魅力的な一貫性をもってデザインされており、聴くとZeckyのセレクションを感じざるを得ません。
2000 年代後半から私たちは手に入れることができる数少ないミックスを執拗に研究し、例えば、2008 年の恵比寿バージャムのレコーディングのおかげでパットとパットの「Tobago」を聞くと、次に「City Lights」がミックスされることを期待せずにはいられなくなりました。
私たちにとってZecky は音楽のサブジャンル、つまり「Zecky スタイルのトラック」になりました。これは、私たちがバレアリックと考えるものの領域に属しながら、それでも許容できるイタロディスコの境界を曖昧にし、その後 Simply Red のような現代的なものによって予想外の形で登場しました... そしてどういうわけか、すべてが完璧に理にかなったものでした。これらのトラックの多くは今では当たり前に思えるかもしれませんが、これは 2000 年代半ばのことであり、これらのトラックの多くはまだ知られておらず、discogs は今日ほどではありませんでした。文脈上、彼のリサーチの質は高いものでした。優れた DJ が行うべきのことはミニマルテクノであるという考え方がある時代に生きていると想像してください。しかし、あなたは完全に期限切れのイタロの素材を探しにイタリアに行く日本人男性です。彼のレコード探しの旅を通して、イタリアのレコード店のオーナーと Zecky の間に生まれたであろう表情や会話は想像するしかありません。 DJ という「職業」において才能が果たす役割は、特にソーシャル メディアや CDJ の時代以降は、曖昧に感じられることがあります。しかし、私たちのささやかな意見としては、Zecky の作品を聴くとこの謎がかなりはっきりと理解できました。彼の選曲の美的精度と、シンプルでありながら完璧なミキシングが、非常に印象的な作品を生み出し、そのミックスは新しい物語や誰も見たことのない美しい映画のサウンドトラックになりました。彼は、これらの瞬間を作曲するために使用した音楽よりも大きな何かを作っているように感じました。人々が DJ の仕事を説明するときによく耳にする一般的な (そして不快な) 決まり文句は、「ストーリーテラー」であるという考えです。私たちにとって、Zecky はこの考えを本当に意味のあるレベルで提示しており、彼の物語は最も素晴らしいものでした。私たちは Zecky から多くのことを学びました。音楽をありがとう。誕生日おめでとうございます。Zecky は今日 54 歳になっていたはずです。これを実現させてくれたパーティーパートナーの大輔に感謝します❤️

H.A.N.D. MIX 065 : Zecky – Metro 1st

Jeremy Castillo rolls in with bag full of swag to deliver a 100 minutes of no-nonsense, sleaze packed joints built for the open road. One of the heads behind San Francisco’s infamous wine hole Bar Part Time, he channels the spirit of cigarette-stained leather booths and dimly lit dance floors into a mix dripping with attitude. Expect Rock-tinged Disco, strutting basslines, and plenty of grit, all primed for a cruise down the boulevard. Whether you’re behind the wheel or perched up at the bar, this one hits like the first sip after a long day on the tools.
