Weekly Wave 14

Like a summer wind Sandra Stein alias Frinda Di Lanco goes about her craft : Sometimes soft with glimpses of blissful days at the shore – other times as a refreshing breeze pushing away clouds and pulling at your limbs to get you moving; and in some cases just straight raising the roof to a point where the shingles go flying.

These cosmically imbued gusts carried her name onto many line-ups alongside the grands of the scene and to venues beloved: sharing the decks with names like Beppe Loda, Budino, Franz Scala and Johannes Albert and casting aside the drapes of the everyday at Primavera Sound, Fusion Festival, Berlin’s infamous"Cocktail d’Amore“ party, the "Warning“ installments at "about blank" and places as far as Krakow, Sofia, Beijing and Tokyo.

Her carefully selected sets gathered from backyards, basements, and record store back rooms from Lisbon to Beijing and Oslo to Palermo – wherever she and her partner in life, crime and business are carried to on their digging odysseys – range from oddball disco, funk and library to italo, wave and new beat with detours into tribal and trance – taking you onto a wild trip where even the most seasoned dance-averse will be blown onto the dance floor.

Besides stirring up crowds her love for music and vinyl can be seen and heard – and bought –  all over Germany’s capital and the aether of the world wide web. She hosts a well-curated radio show by the name of "Music From Mullets“ with guest appearances by Donna Leake, CV Vision or Arsenii (check his dope mix for LYO if you can). Additionally beloved outlets such as Amsterdam's Bordello Radio, Hysteric's Mothball FM, Mr. Bongo Record Club, Refuge Worldwide and Berlin’s experimental Cashmere Radio carried Frinda’s explorations into music apart from the dance floor out to the world.

Her party series "Ciao Amore Baci“ dedicated to vibrant Italian disco gems and featuring reknown and up-coming local DJs has become a welcome alternative for the disco-orientated Berlin nightlife longing to move to sounds apart the beaten track. 

On top of that Frinda di Lanco and her partner Hendrik Stein founded their record label / store "Avec Plaisir“ selling and releasing hand-picked rarities since 2020 – working with the likes of cosmic legend DJ Stefan Egger as well as digging private press record releases from the 1970's to 90's.

LYO#204 / Frinda Di Lanco

As transmissões sonoras do nosso próximo episódio vem diretamente do coração dos Balcãs: Nevena, nascida e criada em Belgrado, Sérvia, deu espaço a sua curiosidade e interesse na música, pouco a pouco se envolvendo em sons atmosféricos, orgânicos e emocionais. 

Tanto é assim que este Altercast começa com um verdadeiro feitiço do Gabão dos anos 80, N’Kene, de François N’Gwa. Passeando pelo roots-spiritual africano, zouk e disco workouts instrumentais, o mix é uma viagem por música sensível, feita para tocar e emocionar.

--

Belgrade born and based, Nevena started her career out of curiosity and interest in music. Open - mindedness is a trait she uses in every aspect of her life and implements it in music as well. 

From soul, boogie to disco and house and everything in between, she combines it into one whole depending on the ambient, atmosphere and people. The biggest influence on her are the artists who tend to experiment and who don’t settle for compromises. Music which has organic sound and which provokes different emotions and feelings is something that she explores continuously. 

Departing with the spellbinding gabonese 80's gem N'Kene, the mix traverses through spiritual-roots african music, reggae, instrumental disco workouts, and more, all with a delicate and emotive mood.

Hugh From Cygnus - Space'd Residency 043

The most important figure in the Seoul dance music scene who leads the South Korean underground scene with his unique perspective, he has invited many international artists to Soul. He opened a club NYAPI in 2022 which has outstanding sound quality and his sense of style scattered in every detail.
His music gained basically from many experiences at local and international gigs, and this will surely create a unique groove that is not confined to any genre.

marco from MLiR recently paid us a visit in naarm, the land of oz ~ while he was here, he realised that one of his gigs was vinyl-only, and he was traveling light with only usbs ~ he asked his good friend jamie (me) if he could raid the sounds good records cache as well as my record bag, to see if he could find some worthy dance-music records to bring to his set from midnight - 3am

here is the end result! a very creative mix using only 12" vinyl records from jamie the scorpio's collection & sounds good records shop stock

Iconic early 90's Ibiza downtempo sound, “Daybreak” would have undoubtedly been the soundtrack to many sunrises in the Baleares. Simon Monday mixes the essential ingredients for bliss in perfect balance, a production so simple yet so effective, no rocket-science just pure intuition, honesty and sharp club sense. All elements coming together to make such an effortlessly powerful sounding instrumental house classic that will forever stand the test of time. Repacked in this new remastered re-issue with full artwork and with 2 new mixes: an extended 9 minute dub version with a new religious edge to it along with an additional re-drummed percussion heavy “bonus beats” for good measure. A no brainer buy-on-sight release for any proper record collection, just in time for the summer season.

This time Antonio Lurbrano from Disco Tic sails at the helm on these balearic seas with a captivating selection winking at afro, disco and italo sounds. Buon divertimento!

SPIRITO BALEARICO W/ DJ MÜLL + GUEST: ANTONIO LUBRANO (DISCO TIC) - 5 JULY 24

Although all three tracks offer the listener valuable insight into the level of music production ingenuity that was going on in Japan at the time, it's "Electric City" that really stands out as an unmistakably unique dancefloor track, where the then teenage female vocalists from Shohjo-Tai are left out and a galloping 120BPM beat sets a blank canvas for a number of unexpected elements to present: completely unorthodox accents in a wide range of unidentifiable sounds, a very enthusiastic electric guitar solo, the Ennio Morricone-esque Spaghetti Western vocal moments, all of which get contrasted with a blissful chorus that reminds one that this is somehow still a collaboration with a Japanese female idol band from the 80s. A hard track to forget even in the less sober dancefloors, it is no surprise that it would be a fundamental secret weapon in the repertoire of diggers such as Dea Barandana. Can't go wrong, buy on sight. Remastered with new artwork.
