Yuzo Iwata aka Fabio, 50% Cubano, 50% Japanese, Karate blackbelt and DJ/producer, originally from the Iwata Juku Dojo in Japan and now based in Berlin, Yuzo shares with us his latest fascinations from dancefloor land. A rich and thoughtfully put together excursion throughout breakbeat, synthetic psychedelia, new beat and other stellar four-on-the-floor nuances. From working in some of Berlin's finest record stores (*wink*), Yuzo has clearly developed a relationship well beyond familiar with records in a wide range of genres - let this mix take you where you need to go.

FRIENDLY MIXTAPE - TELEPHONES

New Sameheads tape release.... Number 29 in fact in the C60 series.

Another curve ball approach...

Amelia Holt and Benedikt Frey offering up a side each of some influences from the rap game.

Amelia says.
"I love hip hop. I have been digging a lot of it because I like the beats and it’s fun to blend with trip hop and downtempo tracks. I also work for a record collectors, who has an incredible hip hop collection and we spend a lot of time listening to all these records. Beyond the beats, rhythm & lyrics, hip hop has an important piece in the history of music and the city I live in. I am grateful it exists.

This mix was recorded in Texas, in my bed room early January during the holiday season."

Big thanks to both @freybenedikt & @ameliaholt

The tapes are limited and available in person at all upcoming Sameheads events or online via sending an email to info@sameheads.com

Emerging from long nights and countless shared moments, @taniajust has become a familiar presence — both in the booth and beyond. A driving force behind the Fandango collective, she offers here a progressive house mix that feels both personal and precise.
There’s an echo of kinship in her selections — shaped by years spent navigating the same shadows.
An elegant and unexpected contribution.

Episode 4 of Mainstream–Downstream (主流–下流) on TESTFM Radio. The mix was recorded by Berlin-based records nerd JMO.

"The mix is sort of a concept mix. I wanted to do something that is really slow with an organic flow. I also wanted to have a climax to make it feel like a journey — that’s what I like most about these sorts of music :)
So I searched through my collection and decided to go for 89 BPM and took a bunch of 90‘s Downtempo, Ambient, Goa Chill Out and IDM tunes…" ~ JMO.

Programa

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.

Welcome back, or is it welcome forth? Who knows anymore, but thank the gods for one of the constant’s in our lives and that’s music.  This perfectly timed episode celebrates the essence of ‘Saudade’ aka the act of missing aka the art of longing aka the aesthetic of nostalgia aka romanticised melancholy, bought to you by the newly appointed master in this domain, Sophie McAlister aka the Nutri Bullet. 

Coming from the ever-fresh stables of Naarm’s own ‘Crown Ruler’ *tip’s the hat*, Sophie is the absolute embodiment of a disc jockey, she’s mastered the art of the casual coasting between genre’s in the form of liquid precision. As most good deej’s, she happily works at a record store (whattup Northside), picking the cream before the public can get their dirty hands on it, (god I miss having a dig), then continues to rub it in the face of the public by playing them across multiple venues around Melbourne and even has the audacity to tease them on a few radio shows. The only thing that matches her talent is her character, a legend to boot. 

Now, the important part, the mix. This thing, this short segment of your life, is a thing of pure beauty. From the very first chord I instantly fell in love, and that love grows exponentially throughout those 94 minutes and 34 seconds. The deeply rooted romance is absolutely sublime throughout, perfect spring picnic soundtrack with the people you love. A transcendent trip around the world all within the comfort of your own mind. It’s such a welcomed breath of fresh air in this suffocating climate. Prepare to listen to it over and over. 

Take some time to take care of yourself. Be well. 

Her words >>> “Thanks for accepting my crywank mix for the series.  Themed it on Saudade and other sappy love songs. Enjoy”
