Memory doesnʼt age, it always remains the same.
 
“Memoria” is an album about my memories, my hometown, the scent and flavours of my childhood, things Iʼve read, movies Iʼve watched at the cinema and my love for music. Itʼs about going back home, re-establishing a link with the past and recalling cheerful and happy memories.
“Memoria” refers specifically to the regions of Minais Gerais and the Brazilian northeast, its hot climate, the religiousness of the people and its faith in miracles, calling to mind images of mysterious and surreal popular tales, where time flows slowly in an intimate dimension.

My very first release. I did it with Fab DJ Sammy for his project The Juju Orchestra. It was released on Brazilectro 9, which obviously has now collector's value. 129,- bucks??? Jeee... I hope I have my copy somewhere...

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection. 
I started buying records when I moved to Athens, one decade ago. Now, I moved back to Crete an Island at the south of Greece. The living is nice but the record stores apart the traditional ones are hard to find here. Thus, most of my collectable records are combined with my trips. I am also a DJ/producer, so the records I choose are chosen because I know that I can make use of them in my production or on stage. 

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.
Main reason I love the 45s is that I get a slight better quality at the sound and the groove of the record. Moreover, as a dj, I am really into their portability , easy peasy in my travel record bag.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?
The selection for the 45/7 mix I did is coming from vinyls I collected from a trip to puerto rico. I searched in numerous stores for them and for me this mixtape is giving the picture of their music, culture, daily life and recalls memories from my experience there.

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music?

Casbah 73 peppers Jedi Johnston’s “Back Atcha” with house, disco, and intense jazz flavors that will suit almost any musical palate. Using the established Headhunters vibe the track possesses, the remix brings percussion and glistening Rhodes flourishes to the forefront while accentuating Dominic Lalli’s poignant saxophone leads. A highlight of the remix is the extended call-and-response section between percussion and saxophone that is guaranteed to keep bodies moving on the dance floor. The track is part of Red Eye Sessions: Volume 2, a global remix series of Color Red’s original music catalog curated by DJ Marcos Boricua.
