Next up on Idle Cellars we have the very special, underrated and up and coming talent, Scandinavia’s best kept secret, Fritjof Drake.

Welcome to an adventure in the Archipelago where your cosmic guide will offer you an exclusive tour of dusty reggae 12 inches, LP’s, Street Soul, Boogie and Brazilian beauties he has scavenged up in the midsummer forest of Sweden. Possibly you’ve not heard many before but you can be sure to be blown away by this mind and body stirring, soulful selection.

Fritjof Drake:
I wanna give a huge shoutout to Danny for inviting me to this special mix series where I got to showcase a longer version of my balearic side in digging records. As well as drinking a glass of wine… I never realized it would come down to 2 hours and 46 minutes since I just kept on yo-yoing the discs from the sleeves to the turntables. Hopefully this mix will make you as hypnotized as I got when making it. Enjoy!

An end of summer soundtrack, tan lines obviously not accepted.

Dreams Are Yours

It is our deepest pleasure to share the next mix in this series by our dear friend, the very talented producer, Dj and all round super nice dude @romainfx852.

Much like a slowly rising sun and a day's wonder, this mix intends to caress your soul in the morning, setting the stage for a joyful day ahead. It includes some oddballs because life has its quirks, and it naturally extends until you're ready to settle down with "un verre de vin" at night.

Romain FX, a passionate music enthusiast with a wide range of creative projects, serves as a producer, remixer, editor, and graphic designer. Romain operates his own record label (Fauve Records), and runs Fauve Radio with other dedicated music enthusiasts worldwide to organize events and podcasts, aiming to bridge the gap between the Asian and European music scenes. Having grown up in Asia and being born in France, he embodies both worlds, contributing to the cultural exchange in the most humble way possible. We hope you enjoy this selection as much as we do. Bisous! Xx

Mix of the Week #501: Loveshadow

Come flock together beneath the sun as we journey on a cool breeze through the rhythmic sands of time with a handpicked selection from Paul Hillery. Dip your toes into crystal blue waters while the sound of a cosmic troubadour drifts by. Glide to joyful places and wide-open spaces while dropping out to a pulse that connects us in shamanic shuffle. Reminded that we have more to connect than drive us apart.

Paul Hillery is a relentless seeker of musical treasures. Uncovering lost gems which he initially documented on the 'Folk Funk and Trippy Troubadours' blog and YouTube channel. He is the creative force behind the celebrated BBE Music series ‘We Are The Children Of The Sun‘, releasing 3 critically acclaimed compilations in the last 18 months, alongside this he has curated a number of well-received reissues for the label. He has also curated 2 compilations in the ‘Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours’ series for RE:WARM. Receiving praise from all the right places, including BBC 6 Music’s Lauren Laverne compilation of the week, Gilles Peterson giving his records plenty of airtime and rave reviews in Uncut, Shindig! Test Pressing and CLASH. He has gained a reputation for his continued deep digging and archival of lost music. And has built long-standing relationships with artists with a mission to give them the exposure they deserve.

Paul has carried his record box to many a venue, playing alongside The Polyphonic Spree, Arthur Lee & Love, Bonnie Dobson, Spiritualized, 4 Hero, Happy Mondays, Simian, The Bees, Julian Cope, Courtney Pine and many, many more. He has also graced the turntables at Spiritland, Refuge, Festival No.6, Lunar, Edinburgh Fringe, Psychemagik’s Magik Forest, The Chill Out Tent, Moseley Folk & Arts, Stowaway, We Are Love, and countless others. In addition to curating music, he writes the occasional article and provides sleeve notes for albums. We hope you enjoy this mix as much as we do. Much Love @idlecellars
