Sassy J takes us on a ‘Quest’ traversing a colourful landscape of warm grooves and intriguing rhythms. We caught up with her to see how the recent year has affected her approach and perspective. Whilst describing the mix, she said ‘It’s a reflection of what I felt within the last year: The dense dynamic of different moods. Facing the turmoil around. Navigating and taking action. The quest to the omni-potential that is you and surrounds us’.

Interview

Oddysee 027 | 'The Quest' by Sassy J

I will always remember those moments at the Nomads festival when Red Greg would close down the Lumberjacks in Hell stage and time stood oddly still, the sunset behind the trees and a warm breeze driving through the crowd. After several hours of dancing, everybody on the dancefloor was familar with each other, the first five rows or so anyway. I remember Rahaan, Mendel, Dieuwer, Robbert, Sam and Bram of course, Kim, Chiara... and Ben! 
The thought ringing through my head, this is as good as it gets. No matter where else you chose to travel to, this is the perfect moment and nothing could make it better. 
All of these Nomads days and nights merge into each other, not least because we had Darren celebrate with us somewhere around 2-4 times. One year it was Sylvester's - Over & Over at ten to eleven, the second last song of the day, that captured on video, encapsuled every emotion that needed to be captured.
I am not able to recall all of the music from those sessions. I remember his legendary blends that have lead you into the next epic groover long before you even realized it's a new tune. Never missing a beat and forever leaving you with a smile and a "damn" on your lips. 
Where did that coming from and how much higher can we go?

Red Greg, take us back to those beautiful moments of freedom and joy.

Up for the 27th installment in our mix series is dear friend and colleague Kennedy (@kennedyams) who's a keen member of the MFM crew and recently started his own label Dream Machine. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hey Nick seemed like a good time to finally get you to introduce yourself and join our mix series since you’ve been helping with MFM a while now. Can you let everyone know a bit more about yourself?

K: Hey hey. Thanks for the opportunity :) So, I live in Amsterdam where my life is (and always has been) centered around music. I've been helping out at MFM for some years now and besides that I have my studio that I religiously visit 3 days a week. In a normal world you'd also find me working at Red Light Records once a week and playing shows on the weekends where they'd have me.

MFM: You’re also working on your own productions, can you tell us a little more about your own music?

K: So it had always been a dream to release my own music on vinyl and after messing around for over 10 years the time felt right and I recently realized my own label Dream Machine. Both musically as aesthetically the idea was for each release to reflect a dream but in tangible form. As I tried to put it into words it is “A series of thoughts, sensations and sounds occurring from a person's mind, translated by machines”, and it really is just that. 

MFM: How has the situation affected your productivity with making dance music?

K: A bit double to be honest. Of course I've had my rough times, which can be frustrating. Quite often I wasn't feeling motivated or inspired at all, the purpose felt a bit misplaced or something like that... On the other hand and above all I felt relatively lucky to be able to go leave the house and get lost in the studio. Having the luxury to escape to a creative environment surely helped keeping calm. Eventually it did result in Dream 1 being released and with Dream 2 coming up.

MFM: What would you say does inspire your music? Is it very process based through jamming and so on or do you start with ideas and try and see where that takes you?

K: For me inspiration goes hand in hand with motivation, it's all very much based on how I feel. I don't work well at night for example, daylight is my natural battery. And anything can be a source of inspiration really. Often an idea comes to mind when walking through the park on my way to the studio, listening to music or just wandering off. A melody, a chord, something rhythmical, a vibe... Depending on what idea it brings I choose an instrument or tool and go from there. Mostly through jamming yes, and then see where the machines take me. 

MFM: What would be some ways you would like to see the world of dance music evolve and grow now we’ve all had a moment to pause and reflect?

K: I actually would rather see it all take a couple steps back first. It would be nice if (dance) music gets acknowledged and valued as an essential form of art more. Music really unites and it needs proper breeding grounds for people, free from any social, economical, racial or whatever context to express, connect, create, collaborate, learn, etc. It's essential, and it should be treated and used as such (not in the last place also by governments), with more care, necessity and sustainability. 

MFM: Tell us more about the mix and what vibe you were trying to bring here?

K: I sort of tried to reflect my perception of this recent change in life. As a big fan of Lonnie Liston Smith (and The Cosmic Echoes) the song 'Visions Of A New World' first came to mind and I just took it from there. If you're in for an atmospheric laid back magic carpet ride with lots of percussion, spiritual jazz, ambient techno and forest sounds, this is for you :)

Introducing: Alex Kassian

So on the first weekend that the lockdown and social distancing measures were announced here in Scotland, I went downstairs to my basement studio as I often do for a wee music session. 

That night however I was charged with a weird energy and my thoughts were packed with what was going on. My emotions were also running high still from an amazing first few months of 2020 starting with Mareh festival in Brasil followed by a visit to Rio and Sao Paulo for more high tempo and full power emotional gigs. On coming back to Scotland I played my first night at the new venue in my city, Kings. It was very special. Then it was straight back to Rio for my first ever Carnaval  followed by a weekender in the USA -  NYC, Miami and finishing up at the excellent Okeechobee festival playing b2b with my disco brother JKriv and the Gouranga clan. Phew!
 
Then next thing I knew…I was in my basement studio. Everything was about the virus and what was to come, all future plans on ice. My income had gone from healthy to zilch. And there was whisky to be drunk and a mix to be made. So that’s the backstory. I poured my heart and soul into it that night. It felt right. It felt good. It featured moments still fresh in my mind from all those parties that kicked off 2020. I hope those people can feel and remember the moments the same way I can. I put them in for you and for us to share and remember being together as one. As such I wanted it to be a global mix. That is, one that featured music from all around the world: Asia, South America, USA, Canada, Africa, Europe, Australia, China, India, New Zealand, Turkey, Israel and more! Many of it is from friends. People I am fortunate enough to meet on my travels, spend time with and call friends in this wonderful world of ours.
 
I wanted it to be a mix that did something to help others. I know so many musicians, DJs and other people who are going to be in such deep trouble because their livelihoods just stopped. And because so many of us didn’t realize how much we music people have become dependent on live gigs and performing in a digitally driven music world. And this is before we even start to think about people who are way worse off than us music people…. Vulnerable people, refugees, homeless people in every city who need our help urgently. I also knew from the start who I did this mix for. I did it for Gouranga because they have supported what I do and my vibe for some time now. It’s nice to have someone who gets it and supports you. They are good people and I knew they would share my values and direction with the mix.
 
So here it is. And here we are now. Stuck in this crazy situation and in this fast changing world. I hope you enjoy the vibes and my music. I hope you are safe and being kind to others. And most of all if you dig it I hope you will give something if you can afford it to help others in worse situations. People really do need your help. And we must be bigger than this, or the bastards will win. Below are the links to our chosen list of charities. Or just choose some charity you prefer. But please be kind to them. Also please check out my new Bandcamp page and those of others artists you like as these are now one our main source of income. So if you need some music in your lives to get through these long days…then buy it direct from the artist!!! Thank you.

And if you dance at home to the mix or use it for some kind of virtual party please let us know somehow by posting and tagging us so we can spread the word. 
Love you all - Dicky & The Gouranga Clan xxx

DICKY TRISCO GLOBAL LOVE LOCKDOWN MIX

A familiar face around the Dutch capital, Amsterdam-based DJ and producer Kennedy has been immersed in music and records for over two decades, putting into practise his mantra of moving both the body and the soul.

While day-to-day he can be found behind the counter at Red Light Records pushing wax, as well as being part of the team at Jamie Tiller and Tako Reyenga's Music From Memory imprint, his own musical endeavours see him taking over the waves at Red Light Radio and running his own Dream Machine imprint, which he launched last year with a debut record from himself. 

This year will see him release a second on the label and also debut overseas on DJ D.Dee's renowned Pacific Rhythm imprint. In the run up to these production outings, we asked him to take the reigns for this week's Shine A Light On mix, which sees him serve up a soothing selection of music for the soul...

"I had a blast putting this show together, and just threw everything I had at it. Hopefully the effort shows the level of my respect for Gilles...I didn't want to come with anything less than my best. I'm particularly proud of the mixes. I think it's safe to say that a definitive playlist of this show could never/ will never be accomplished." - DJ Shadow

DJ Resoul pays tribute to one of Berlin most important club-nights of the last 20 years: Jazzanova's residency night Kaleidoskop. For this mix he chose tunes that where played there and that era (around 2000). Resoul was a regular dancing guest and an occasional dj there.

The long-running party's roots reach back to 1999, with its beginnings at Berlin's famed WMF club. The multi-membered Jazzanova collective have helmed the nights, that attracted international guests such as Louie Vega, Gilles Peterson, Carl Craig, Maurice Fulton, Phil Asher, Dego, Questlove, Mr. Scruff and LTJ Bukem over the years.The club-nite showcased the sounds of hip-hop, house, disco, jazz and boogie that Jazzanova are renowned for championing in techno-friendly Berlin.
