5 track downtempo Balearic house EP by Ex Spiral tribe member Lol Hammond's studio project Wah Wah Planet from 1990 along side Russell Crone featuring female vocals by Lucy Sian. Serving as a pioneering early example of UK Street Soul. A side explores the romantic theme brought to the table by the lyrics in a more pop/radio edit oriented manner whereas the B-side takes things down a more leftfield route with 3 different excursions in early 90's smooth Balearics ranging from early breaky/triphop nuances to elements borrowing from dancehall music. Including a previously unreleased mix found deep in Lol's master tapes.

H.A.N.D. MIX 060 : J.A.Z. part 2

RÁDIO EXÓTICA

É com enorme prazer que lançamos a Rádio Exótica, série de mixes onde convidaremos amigos e seletores que admiramos. E para dar o ponta pé inicial, um querido amigo da hOmeTown, Pascal aka Temise. 

Nascido e criado em Eindhoven, Temise começou um coletivo chamado "Vulgair" há pouco mais de 10 anos. Vulgair era conhecido por suas festas um pouco fora da lei em armazéns abandonados e áreas arborizadas de difícil acesso. Ao fazer isso, criaram um terreno fértil para criativos produtores locais, enquanto impulsionavam discretamente sua própria carreira de DJ nos bastidores. Ele decidiu deixar tudo isso para se tornar um enólogo em Bordeaux. Tocar em clubes como o iBoat com um copo de vinho na mão logo se tornou um sonho realizado. No entanto, os sons ecléticos tropicais e funk dentro da cena musical holandesa o trouxeram de volta a Maastricht e Amsterdam, onde ele reside hoje. Seu gosto por vinhos reflete suas escolhas musicais, que vão desde o Zouk frutado até os sons marcantes do Highlife e o caloroso Disco terroso, e todos os taninos intermediários.

With big pleasure we comeback to the airwaves with the Rádio Exótica, a mix series focused on friends and diggers that we admire. And for the number 1, a good friend from the lowlands, Pascal aka Temise.

Born and raised in the city of light, Eindhoven. He started a collective named “Vulgair” a little over 10 years ago. Vulgair was known for their slightly non-legal parties in abandoned warehouses and hard to find woody areas. By doing so, they creating a breeding ground for local creatives while simultaneously boosting his own DJ career in the background. He decided to leave it all by becoming a vinologist in Bordeaux. Playing clubs like iBoat with a glass of wine in his hand has shortly been a dream come true. But in the end the eclectic tropical and funky sounds within the Dutch music scene drew him back to Maastricht and Amsterdam where he resides today. His taste for wine reflects his musical choices ranging from fruity Zouk to the stingy sounds of Highlife and warm earthy Disco and every tannin in between.

Our first contemporary release on Avec Plaisir features a stunning collaboration of Munich-based Ly Nguyen and @supersoundglobal's @nicjalusi. We discovered "Laguna Azur" already years ago through our friend Pia and kept playing it in our sets since then, which caused almost ridiculous amounts of ID-requests from audiences all over Europe. So when Ly and Nic agreed on working together on a physical release, we knew this is gonna be something special. 

While the Original Laguna Azur Mix takes you on a motorcycle trip to  a beach bar sipping cocktails in the early 90s (with denim jackets, cocktail umbrellas and the full program), Jalusi's Acid Dub is already starting the party, when the dubby bass hits like we wanna dance into the sunset, watching smiles on everyones faces, rumpled hair from the early evening breeze. 2AM – was it Hazme Sonar or Sueno Latino or the Balearic Eric & Nic Jalusi Dream House Mix – You’re in a sea of hands up in the air when those piano chords kick in after the break. You just want to dive into the ocean for another night swim and shake your drenched body on the sandy dancefloor. A handful of friends remain at the beach in the very moment when the sun comes up and you’ll hear the hypnotizing leftfield dub "My Heart“, lying on the shore, everyone’s eyes turn into the greenish-blue color of a mystical lagoon hidden in the palm forest. A salty taste remaining on your skin.

We're more than proud and excited to present you the summer record of 2024: Suncream’s Laguna Azur EP.

A1 Suncream - Laguna Azur (Original Version)

JAZ is also John Zahl, aka. the Episcopalian Minister from South Carolina who does not only find transcendence in religion but likewise in music. While the fact that he plays the most oddball of Italo, Synth-Pop and New Wave tracks might seem surprising, the coupling of music and religion is not at all unusual of course (both transcending the boundaries of our natural world). After incredibly contributions to Sanpo Disco and Dream Chimney amongst others, he has agreed to share his energy once again.

For 5918mins. JAZ compiles a vast amount of music from the USA, Sweden, UK, France, Germany, Japan, Austria, Italy, Uraguay, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Greece, South Africa, Netherlands, Belgium, Brazil, Canada (over 45 tracks) which he has been amending for a while but could not record due to a move. (Hence the hibernation) 

A rich and incredible mix of things which we are more than honored to be able to present, representing the sheer endless energy this man has put into finding music.
