Alex Barck/Jazzanova -  World Wide FM BERLIN-X-MAS 2022 DJ MIx

Pete Josef is an artist who uses his soulful eloquence not just to entertain, but to open up conversations about his own social consciousness. He has an inherent need to create, build, share and protect as well as educate himself about issues regarding our habitat, society, politics, race and gender. All of these have permeated into his musical output in recent years, but on the new single, entitled Carbon, Pete writes very personally, and for the first time, about the death of his brother and how it has made him think about a wider, environmental subject matter.

Carbon is a simple and poignant guitar and vocals song that, on the one hand, mourns the loss of his brother Mark, but on the other, celebrates the idea that we will all somehow end up being part of the carbon cycle “in a beautiful field of green”. Mark was buried on a hillside, overlooking a stunning valley in the South-West of England, and the idea of being part of the carbon cycle was something that he felt quite content about - the idea of returning back to the land after his death.

“Now you are carbon, in a beautiful field of green. Wake up in the morning, rise over the valley, in a place you call your own.”

Carbon is the third single to be taken from Pete Josef’s forthcoming third album, released in 2024 and recorded in his self-built and self-sustainable studio cabin in his garden. The exchange between studio and live has become a unifying force since the resurrection of his live quartet in 2022. This year will bring choice live shows, featuring the mercurial Eli Jitsuto from Bristol based outfit Snazzback on guitar and longtime collaborators Jihad Darwish on bass and Miguel Andrews on drums.

Pierre d'Estienne d'Orves is Tour-Maubourg, a defining force in France’s contemporary electronic music landscape, shaping the evolution of nu-jazz and house with his distinctive sound. His productions have resonated widely, earning millions of streams on Spotify and establishing him as one of the most compelling artists in recent years.

Drawing from influences like St Germain, Nicolas Jaar, and Ron Trent, he first gained industry recognition with a series of well-received EPs between 2017 and 2020. His debut album, Paradis Artificiels (2020), was met with critical acclaim, securing coverage in imprints such as Tsugi, Trax or DJ Mag and even leading to a televised live performance on Séquences (France Télévision).

In 2023, he pushed his sonic boundaries further with Spaces of Silence, an album that fluidly merges soulful house, acid jazz, and experimental elements, earning praise from critics. The following year, he embarked on a new musical journey alongside French saxophonist Ismael Ndir, blending jazz with electronic textures in their debut duo EP, The Panorama Sessions, recorded in Brussels. His latest release, The Floating on Silence EP and Remixes, features collaborations with K-Lone, I:Cube, and other notable artists on Noire & Blanche.

Tour-Maubourg’s presence extends beyond the studio, as he has performed at some of Europe’s most respected venues, including Rex, Badaboum, Night Tales Loft, or Sisyphos, plus an uncountable number of festivals.

It feels quite surreal to say this, but Episode 03 of the Balearic London mix series is brought by none other than Italo house legend Don Carlos. Starting his DJ career in the late 70s, he is best known for his production debut 'Alone'. Widely known as the epitome of what dream house is, the track combines emotive piano chords, crisp percussion, and ethereal pads in what is beautifully floaty yet perfectly punchy perfection. Since then he's released more underground hits under his own name as well as his Montego Bay and Aquanauts monikers. He isn't just a legend of the 90s though, his releases in the recent years on Freerange Records, Utopia, Irma Records, and remixes on Wolf Music and more show that his music sounds as fresh now as ever.

We are so excited to have him as our next guest of our mix series. Get stuck in, and join us at Distillery N17 on the 5th of September where he will be headlining his first gig in London since 2020. Get your tickets at https://ra.co/events/2185010
