Well, here we are again...

As the weather gets better, and the temperature rises we all need the correct musical selections to accent the mood. Who better to do this than our friends the mighty mighty DOMply crew out of Rio De Janeiro? A multi-faceted gang of French and Brazilian diggers and party organisers who push a unique style and sound. 

Craig Ouar has been our friend for a couple of years now, and was the best host you could ever ask for on GGHQ's recent Brazil tour, welcoming us into his home and showing us the incredible sights and sounds of Rio and Sao Paolo. Craig and Simon (Who also happens to be one of the guys behind the dope Parisian Bayetë collective) are 2 members of what is a bigger picture (big big love to Giu, Pino, Mauricio, Cleo, Andre, Juliana and everyone else too!) and their 2+ hour mix showcases a true flavour of what DOMply and their incredible parties are all about - an original collection of deep Brazilian and global sounds that are definitely the result of their surroundings and broad influences. 

This is a very special mix for us, and is soaked in colour, style and good feeling. Perfect as we roll into the brighter days!

↓ ↓ ↓ INTERVIEW WITH KIERNAN ↓ ↓ ↓

Q: Thanks for your contribution to our mix series, how did you prepare for this mix, and how would you describe the eventual result?

A: Thank you! It's a pleasure to finally get this put together after months of waiting for the right records/tapes/CD's to become available. I was in the middle of building a tracklist for 2 very different mixes, one of which being an early morning AOR/Pop orientated mix with the other being this one - an early to mid 90's blend of IDM and other electronica. I'm pretty happy with the result, it was fun to play some better known tunes by Juicy Peach, Eirin Peryglus and Yiffie amongst the weird Welsh things that have come up recently. 

Q: Is there a record in the mix that you associate with a special story?

A: Not so much a record, but a CD Promo I was given by a Welsh group called Glovebox with a bunch of unreleased material from the late 90's featuring a few music videos! It's got a really great blend of IDM, Ambient House and Breakbeat tunes that only had a few radio plays and the odd play out at coastal raves.

Q: How do you dig for new music, and/or what kind of things arouse your interest in a record? 

A: Over lockdown Discogs has been an ever present tool, however I've found that I had much more luck making connections with private collectors. I've got some really lovely family/friend connections in Wales and have a buddy in Cornwall who has an amazing collection of privately pressed records from the mid 80's. I also chat to other DJ's who have similar tastes that are kind enough to share pointers for things that might be of interest, I'd say that's my favourite way of digging because you make a friend along the way! In terms of picking out records, I think the sleeve always tells a story. But I also focus on the label for info, the more DIY it looks the better! 

Q: One record you will never let go, and one that doesn’t want to leave your wantlist?

A: I never sell any of my personal copies of Welsh language records and tapes, especially given the recent rise in demand. However, one that stands out is probably a self released cassette I was given by an Aberystwyth post-punk/experimental pop group called Crisialau Plastig. It was recorded on a 4-track recorder and used wacky instruments like a toy flute, a harmonica and of course, a drum machine. 
One that never leaves my wantlist is probably an LP by Ffenestri, called 'Tymhorau'. It's recently sky rocketed in price and I'm lucky to have come across a few copies. It was recorded at the Vestry in my village and was the first release on my locally loved Fflach label, which is now defunct due to the very sad passing of the Jones brothers. 'Y Tymhorau' is a fortuitous dance tune that I play 99% of the time at gigs that always pricks people's ears, whether they're into this scene or not. 

Q: Music bonds people. Any djs/projects/shops/etc.. you would like to shout out? 

A: Yes definitely, Thom from Freedom of Groovement is the person who encouraged me to start taking music more seriously along with Vish from Dar Disku who pushed me to play more to my roots. Corey and @Kaynethehermit from Continuous Movement and DiskFrisk respectively for some great company in recent months. Also, @j_gregss from @In-Form who I've been lucky enough to share a few drinks and some tracks (heard here) with over some musical chatter.

In a highly saturated market there is a lot to be said for record labels who trawl the earth to revitalize music which was perhaps thought lost to the depths of Discogs and glory seekers the world over. Isle Of Jura issued a statement of intent when they announced their debut release in the early months of last year. Their first release came in the form of a reissue of a highly sought after disco record from the 1980's, Escape From New York's "Fire In My Heart". An out of reach record was made attainable once again and the demand rocketed.

The label then went on to re-release a balearic masterclass in the form of Chayell's "It's Never Too Hot". 

What lies ahead for the label in 2017 is a mystery, but expect the unexpected. We spoke to the label founder Kevin Griffiths as he delivers a flavour of the label.
