This episode of Francachela is a short excursion into history, as told by the author Tim Lawrence in his book "Love Saves the Day" a seminal and one-of-a-kind account of American dance music culture in the 1970s. Specifically, the show's focus will be the infamous New York club The Loft and its creator David Mancuso. Tune in to dive into the stories of nocturnal journeys, the philosophy and the soundtrack of an era that paved the way for electronic dance music as we know and cherish it today!

Refuge Worldwide - Francachela - The Loft Special - June 15 2023

From the blues, soul and jazz…the groove has no boundaries. In the 60s and 70s it crossed over to pop and rock artists 

which were predominantly white. They created interesting fusion blending all different styles. These records are 

not easy to find…mostly hidden in the vast crates of rock and pop...with touches of jazz-fusion and funk. 

It is all vinyl set from my record collection. Check it out…and enjoy it…

Italian dance music from 89 through to 96 is the order of the day here. Whilst being off work since having surgery these last few months  my thoughts have gone to my record collection as im a bit bored of the same old bullshit thats going around at the mo. So i gathered together some old gear ranging from deep house, to melodic breakbeat, some good old piano driven rave and back down to grown up house the italian way. you may recognise a couple but they are quite obscure, but never the less bloody great tunes... a bit wobbly in places but isnt that it used to be?  enjoy and thanks for tuning in. *love vinyl*

#35 *Italian Shakedown*   (89-96)

In this mix I wanted to make a spontaneous selection that represented me at the moment. It's a concentrate of music I love and I like to play, from Jazz-Funk, AOR, Modern Soul to Zouk! There's some old stuff and also new reissues by amazing labels like Backatcha, Discomatin, Favorite Recordings and Music From Memory.

MIMS Guest Mix: CLÉMENTINE (Chuwanaga Records, Paris)

The debut from the Pleasure of Love mix series, NEW ISLANDS.  For our first one we're happy to have renowned LA record collector Ragz on board.  His depth of knowledge on Italo and groove-based Indian music is, to put it lightly, impressive.  A regular guest DJ at Heat-Wave and Pleasure of Love parties, Ragz has turned us all onto many records.  Here's a description of the mix he's put together for us-

"When I was pulling records for this mix I was looking for something to get my head out of lockdown and an escape to those carefree summers of yore. This mix is a bit of an ode to that. A couple of my big favs on here are Lucia’s Que Belleza – a Spanish inspired Italo balearic banger that everyone should own, J.M. Black’s Lipstick (Shout !) – silky smooth French boogie about amorous dodginess in the corner of a Manhattan bar, Club Band’s Club Is My Passion – Italo 7” private press goodness, Nick Carr’s Mambo – taken from his self-titled album and an underrated Greek electronic/synth-pop masterpiece, and finally La Cie Créole’s La Nuit Des Requins – the Zouk closer."

New Islands 01 - Ragz

The sound of a saxophone coming through the open window. A warm morning breeze comes along. The candles went out hours ago but the odour has not left the room. An open city map lies on a table in the darker part of the room, next to a book about romanticism. Is it sunday yet?
Welcome to the room of Daniel - collector of romantic moments on record. If this breeze feels right you should check out the forthcoming album of Daniels band Unhappybirthday here: https://orcd.co/unhappybirthday
