MFM: Hi Suze, welcome to the series. You used to work at Clone. Do you believe working in a record store has helped you as a DJ and the other way around?

SI: I think that the type of person that gets attracted to working in a record shop are usually music geeks(like I am). So it was wonderful being surrounded by only music geeks for three years and sharing with each other our influences, hearing all the records coming in and finding out about some cool releases on labels you would never even think of listening to if it wasn’t for it being played in the store. I did get a discount but in the end my salary was basically being spent on new records. I think as a DJ working there it did inspire me to dig deeper because you need to advice all different kinds of people about what’s in store. As for benefits for the record store, I guess having qualified music lovers is a good thing to have around.

MFM: By sticking to the more soulful sounds, such as gospel, soul, disco, broken beat and house, and also being outspoken in championing the black community, it seems like you're expressing a message through music. Could you please share your thoughts on this?

SI: Being a black Dutch-Caribbean woman is definitely a big part of my musical identity. I like to weave Afrodiasporic sounds together mostly because they have so much in common, whether it’s House music, Salsa, Boogie, Broken Beat or Techno. I can hear the connections so clearly. Each time I might have a different message but a lot of them have to do with: losing and finding love, letting go, finding community and expressing joy. 

MFM: With playing so many shows at different places on this planet, how do prepare for your gigs?

SI: Sometimes it’s hard to prepare because you won’t know where you’ll end up playing or for what kind of crowd. I usually bring a variation of new finds and old classics with me. Also I try to make a playlist per event in Rekordbox. I kind of see it like puzzling, you want to make sure the pieces fit together. It usually starts with me overpacking and then slowly taking out the records that aren’t necessary or most likely won’t be played. I used to spend a lot of time preparing but because I play so much these days, I am almost always in a state of preparation and that takes away the stress that used to come with it. It allows for more spontaneity.

MFM: Please tell us about this mix, was there a certain vibe or idea you wanted to capture?

SI: I wanted this mix to be slow paced and imaginative, to almost make it feel like a movie soundtrack when closing your eyes. I don’t want to say too much about it because I want every listener to have their own interpretation but the transmission of intergenerational trauma and memory is something that I had thought about a lot lately. Then I found a poem by Brazilian Maestro Milton Nascimento which is the guideline of this mix. The Poem “Era Rei e Sou Escravo” (translation: I was a king and I am enslaved) tells the story of an enslaved person, being taken from the African mainland and no matter how badly he is treated or wherever he is taken, he says that the memory of his country and the memory of the music of his people stays and never goes away. It keeps him hopeful, he ends the poem with: Sou Escravo Serei Rei(I am a slave, I will be a king). From that moment on we travel.

MFM Mix 046: Suze Ijó

For Trushmix 200 we got two mixes by the founders of it all!
LA 2000 and DJ Fett Burger in the mix.

LA 2000 recorded a fantastic balearic mix in 2007. It was early on when the balearic genre was rediscovered as a thing. Really good tunes selected in a masterful way!
Just to put it in context, This was in 2007, so balearic wasn’t as familiar like now, only heads started to pick this up again after the heydays in the 80’s, so some really good compilations started to float around, and that became a spark. Also DJ Harvey hadn’t yet made his euro comeback so it was a whole different time back then, it was very marginal. Very nice in many ways. A fantastic mix, that is recorded a bit too loud on a lousy PC.

The second mix, by DJ Fett Burger is a quite eclectic mix recorded in 2009 for a CDR label called Sony Norge, under a different DJ alias. 
This mix matches the previous mix in an odd way, a proper out there balearic interpretation, with some Norwegian cuts that make it local in a global way. So we got a package full of surprises here! You never know what will come next! 

As one mix, these two become quite something, a perfect journey for a 200 mix celebration on Trushmix! It’s a listening party for people who want to take things to a special level. And it really catches the essence of what Trushmix is about!

Music from the top!
Enjoy!
