The quartet from France are a steady fixture in the world of modern digging. Colin, Guillaume, Romain and Xavier originally met in Marseille but are now all based in Paris where they very successfully continue their hunt for the unknown (seldom above the 110 BPM mark). 

The now-Parisian taste-makers do not only have one of the most excellently curated Youtube Channels out there, they recently also proved that they are very capable Editors themselves on the most recent (and excellently curated) Orange Tree Edits (Vol. 8). 

For 5918mins., they provide nothing short of a masterclass of modern digging - which left us astonished and (dare we say it) even a bit envious given the sheer endless amount of unknown treasures comprised in this mix. So without further ado, let's dive right into 111 mins. of pure digging pleasure.

Juanita's mix 56 with Myles Mac @myles-mac

Q. How would you describe yourself?
A. I'd like to think I'm a music enthusiast who enjoys diving deep into the early "golden" years of dance (and chillout) music.

Q. How long have you been a part of the Melbourne music scene? How did you get involved?
A. I've been playing records around town since about 2006, and started running some parties with a few friends shortly after that, back when electro house and fluro tees were the hottest ticket in town ;) A few years later me and my friend Andy Hart discovered there was this whole other deeper side that we absolutely loved and started the MDC series. Somehow it's still going after all these years!

Q. Tell us a little bit about this mix.
A. After being locked down for most of this year, I wanted to channel the kind of vibes I would go for if given an opening set outdoors somewhere on a sunny afternoon among friends (hoping this won't be too far away now as things start to open up here!). The mix starts out slow and soulful and gradually picks up the pace with lots of 90s chillers and summery house nostalgia to get you in the mood. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy!

Tornado Wallace's exclusive mix for Rainbow Disco Club 2022 podcast:

"This is an excerpt from a live recording at a show I played in Sydney in March 2022. I played at 9 am and I wanted to start with the music slow, warm and soulful. A fresh and feel-good start for everyone that had been at the party since the night before."

"これは2022年3月にシドニーで行ったショーでの録音から抜粋したものです。朝9時から演奏したのですが、スローで暖かく、ソウルフルな音楽で始めたいと思いました。前夜からパーティーに参加していたみんなにとって、新鮮で気持ちの良いスタートになる様にプレイしましたね。"

Passing it clockwise (15:57 - Fabio)

For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Come one, come all, or don’t come at all but for those still paying attention, we have another treat for your senses. An aura fortifying frequency courtesy of relatively new Naarm local, DJ Possum aka Jolie. Skip the night out and extend the night in. 

Possum has worked hard to infiltrate the local scene and it’s starting to pay off, her take on all things music is fresh.  you can’t pigeonhole her style or genre. Her ability to play anything from serendipitous street soul to float tank techno is inspiring to say the least. The podcast she did with fellow FHUO hero Myles Mac (MDC #265) is absolute perfection (in my top 10 mixes of last year). I’m really looking forward to seeing where her trajectory takes her. 

Every time I listen to this mix I get this overwhelming sense of a good friend taking you by the hand and guiding you through their own life experiences, scene by scene, song by song.  Every movement has a feeling attached. A much needed reminder to feel all that you can, healing the weird emotional callus built up over the last two years. A guided tour at the perfect altitude, weaving in and out of atmospheric pressure systems, a trip truly worth taking as many times as possible. 

See for yourself. 

Her words >>>> 
“There are a few elements floating here.. the mix is composed mostly of psychedelic electronica sounds mostly from the the 70's, 80's & 90's of musicians and composers that I think are sublime. 

In sound aesthetics, nothing can top this sound for me. It's so touching, it forces you to go inside, it forces you to feel small in space, kinda like space dust, and to me this is the true definition of freedom. At times gravity pulls you down from space into your gene pool, your body. 

On a parallel path to this idea, I made this mix thinking about my mom and dad because it is truly an offer to them for my upbringing. They made what was truly a war zone into a magical place, taking us four kids out of the concrete jungle and giving us instead the sky and nature, recalibrating us. My dad was a star gazer and I watched the stars with him at nights until he passed away when I was 11. My mom is my spirit animal, a true contemporary philosopher. They both live in this mix because I connected them once again here.”

CNL Live Session | PHI Edition

Get ready for an psycho rock electric sound journey, by train from
Otwock. Oranżada is a group of musicians from Otwock and Radość near
Warsaw. The group, set up in 2001 has issued 4 albums and played
several hundred gigs, including major festivals: psychedelic Klangbad,
or last year Open'er in Gdynia. Influences of German kraut rock,
melancholy psychedelia and post punk are clearly perceived both in
recordings and live performances of this very interesting band. Thanks
to "Samsara" album, issued in spring 2010 the group gained wider
publicity. Their new aspect was very well received by public and
critics. The last concerto on the album is "Impro-Miron", based upon a
poem by Miron Białoszewski, entitled "The ride to Otwock".
Off-handedly it became the key to new activities, recordings and
concerts. Preparations of a new musical material for a theatrical
performance of  PKP Falenica club resulted in establishing new album
"Once Upon A Train". This time the group created a musical story,
taking place in the realities of railway leading from Otwock to Wawer.
The direct inspiration were modernistic station buildings built in
1934-1936, as well as their surroundings. 10 stations and 10 different
musical pictures, in which kraut rock concoction of rhythm and
Slavonic psychedelia is wrapped in western guitars. Charming
melancholic melodies, inspired by the folklore of pre-war Jewish
diaspora, as well as exposed Slavonic instruments, take us for an
ecletic travel in time and space, pulsating with rhythm. The original
sound of Once Upon A Train is obtained not only by exposing emotions
of five musicians, but also by playing with emotions of erstwhile
passengers. With the untypical orchestra, including cajon, trumpet, or
harmonica Oranżada annex new spaces. The musical material was
registered in in Analogowe Rogalowo and keep analog character by
mastering in Golden Mastering-Ventura CA

Guest Mix 007 w/ Üllar Siir (exte82)

The Red Light Radio resident from Amsterdam is, in symbiosis with PAM, behind one of the best Blogs/Youtube Channels out there going by the name of Onkokole y Trompa. A quiet but persistently excellent fixture in the city's fairly digging-oriented club-culture, he seems to represent the really good stuff about the Amsterdam scene (together with a handful others maybe). For 5918mins., he pulls his tissues out for this emotional weeping boogie mix. Maybe in light of the current situation, maybe in light of the recent closure of his home-base Red Light Radio (R.I.P.)
