Jemaho's Nova Casa Jazz Live - Arno.G guest(2011)

We invited our good friends the Patchouli Brothers for a special guest mix session just a few days ahead of their set in Montreal for the annual Mundo Disko party presented at Pride Festival (August 13th. Infos here)

We gave the talented DJ/Production duo and brothers in disco a simple challenge: make us a mix featuring their favorite Montreal discothèque records.

“We focused on some of our Montreal favourites from the 70s and 80s.  We missed a few though. Amra. Nina Dunn. More! 

Most of the Canadian disco we love is from Montreal! There are definitely a few great Toronto records from the time, but a lot of what we dig comes from or is connected to Unidisc and their sub labels. Think there was just more of it produced in Montreal as the scene was stronger? The Montreal music we enjoy is more of that electronic, euro influenced sound, while the Toronto stuff we’ve found to be more connected with classic r&b and/or Caribbean influenced. We like the likes of Crack of Dawn, Liberty Silver, Everett Haughton, from Toronto, just to name a few to not leave our hometown outta the picture! “

A few last words before we see you on the dancefloor at Mundo Disko?

“We’re honoured to be involved! We’ll be doing our best to continue the legacy of our musical hero and friend, Robert Ouimet, by playing music we love and making everyone dance!”

Aswad and Carl discuss the makings of his elusive limited EP ‘Chance’ released in 1984, and celebrating the music 40 years later as see the reissue of ‘Carter Lake’ and It ‘Must Be The Beat’ via Sam Don's new record label adventure — Sweet Free Association.

Lyrics:

Sliding in clean like I’m made of windex
My new life is the finger next to index
Insects like you bugging me like an ex
Who texts all day then rejects make up sex
It’s a flex every time I grab a microphone
All alone in my zone crushing rocks into stone
I’m a true artist give me a xylophone
And I’ll make a hit quick like Joe DiMaggio
New York to the Bay I’m in different time zones
Making so many moves that they think I have a clone
So menacing you better ring a friend cus my fists heavy swing
I’m battling inhabiting a smattering of badder things
Like psychedelic trips that’ll take you to wonderland
My Vishnu arms grab a hold of where you stand
When you land you may feel like you’re part of God’s plan
But me I am God, always got the upper hand
