Mooie selectie, interessante achtergronden!

Last sunday's recording! Started off a bit rough as I'm not used to the whole talking broadcasting thing but it shaped up later on I think. Enjoy!

Say what? Afghanistan used to be an important stop along the hippy trail? Learn more about the country of Afghanistan in the second installment of the Origins series. Check out more on www.feedamsterdam.nl 

Salam alaikum! Next up in our series is Daidu, Dutch-born Afghan living in Amsterdam. He'll be visiting the void that's left of the musical scene in Afghanistan, as the country's political instability has often limited the exercise of music. The focus will mostly be on older music from an era in which traditional sounds started to get mixed with Western influences, whilst taking you through the cultural and political contexts that interfered with musicians' desires. Tune in for a trip through Afghanistan in different times. Safar-e ghoob! / Bon voyage!

This week we welcome Jon Jones of Hot Biscuit Recordings, based In Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

I first came across Jon through his disco mixes for the lads at @meanwoodradio but more recently I was lucky to receive a white label promo of an upcoming label release by Mark Grusane which has been in heavy rotation since - 4 super hot disco edits over 2x12s!

The label has plenty of great music in the pipeline including two dope and exclusive EPs by Chicago legend Rahaan, with lots more music to be released in years to come. Here’s what Jon had to say about the mix

“I hope you enjoy my continuous “vinyl only” disco mix, produced using two technics 1210 mk2’s and a Bozak AR-4 Rotary Mixer.

For The Love Of Music ✊🏼

Jon (Jones)”

Listen to this heater of a mix via my bio and make sure to follow @hotbiscuitrecordings for info on all their releases! Preorders of Mark Grusane and Rahaan EPs are available via Hot Biscuit bandcamp page… so go pick those up - you don’t want to sleep on these trust me!

GE-OLOGY "Live" at MUSICLAND - JUNE 23, 2023, (Secret Location Brooklyn, NY)

Whether you view GE-OLOGY as a world-class producer, visual artist or DJ depends on how long you’ve known him. His prolific contributions to music, & art more broadly, span over 40 years & are well-documented. An artist in every sense, Ge-ology has excelled across numerous disciplines like illustration, fine arts painting & sculpture, graphic design & music production - all well before the term “multidisciplinary artist” was popularized.
Among his bountiful accolades are his earliest beats as part of the 4 member high school hip hop crew “Born Busy” with Tupac Shakur in the 80s, and later, his collaborative alteration of the hip hop visual & fashion landscape with the jointly talented Matt Doo through their “mentally ILLustrated” artistic partnership Dooable Arts in the 90s, & his production of cultural milestones like songs on both the debut “Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star” & Mos Def’s solo “Black On Both Sides” LPs.
 
Ge-ology’s profound artistry sets him apart from his peers and is abundantly clear in his DJing and musical experimentation. He flawlessly expresses contrast, depth, texture & color to blend music & art into a single creative lens. “It’s really the same language. You can describe music in artistic ways & colors in a very musical way.”
Never stagnant or complacent, between touring internationally & his residency at Public Records, Ge-ology is wrapping up two highly-anticipated creative projects for Fall 2023. One record is his full production, the other is a rework of a rare, never reissued record of which he’s obtained the master reel & blessing of the original artist.
 
When asked about his taste & approach to selection, Ge-ology keeps it simple. “Every time I play, I want to bring something special to the table.” He likes to play “shit that’s different,” whether it’s overlooked cheap heat, music people don’t know or high value rare records that very few people have.He digs for music that’s under the radar, extremely funky, soulful & moving.
Always intriguing & exciting, Ge-ology engages dancers on his musical voyages by seamlessly & organically bringing them up & down to different emotional places. But expect some surprises & curveballs - “I don’t like to be bored or to be predictable, so you can always expect something interesting!”

To truly appreciate Ge-ology’s wizardry, you need to be there for the whole story.

“I got some shit!”

Come prepared to dance!

Love Drop - The Buzz

112 KBPS FILES - DON'T BE A DUNCE!

Israeli DJ and collector https://soundcloud.com/eladomusica makes his debut on RNT with a pack of impossibly rare edit heat! A relative newcomer to the scene, Elado made some waves recently with a stunning entry on Eddie C’s Red Motorbike, and he’s clearly no novice when it comes to digging as this exceptional pack of tunes shows. With rarefied material ranging from Africa, India and the Mideast, Elado works these 4 tunes with a careful editor’s touch, nipping and tucking only where necessary to let the incredible source selections shine through, but rendered eminently DJ-friendly. Already supported by Antal and many others, this 12” is the first essential add of 2021!
