GGHQ Mix #2 : Brian Not Brian

Orbita  [@orbita-berlin],  the Berlin-based collective of DJs and promoters,  promote through their events and musical direction what they like to call “Adult Dance Music,” a concept that pushes back against instant gratification and brings a more mature sensibility to the dance floor.

For the first episode of their Pluto Radio residency, they invited Norwegian producer and DJ Henning Severud, aka @Telephones. After more than ten years in Berlin, he has become a key figure of the underground scene. Through his label, European Carryall, Henning channels a singular character: dreamy, life-affirming, and sensual, qualities deeply cherished in the balearic scene. His monthly radio show, New Massage, on Refuge Worldwide is likewise a real treat.

First hour by @aficionado_dj & @vibe_operator, second hour by @Telephones.

Auntie Flo aka Brian d’Souza is back with a new album 'Birds of Paradise' on his imprint A State of Flo which we've just reviewed on the site. We like Flo or Brian d’Souza as he is known to his mum. He wrote a really great article about how hard it is to be an independent artist these days and seems really honest both in his approach and his music. Which brings us nicely to this mix which pulls together all his nice afro ethno influences before zoning out into a horizontal come down... It's a lovely journey.

Christopher Tubbs has been releasing music for nearly 25 years now... Both as Antlantic Conveyor and under his own Tubbs name and in recent years he's linked with Eden Burns as Burns and Tubbs on Public Possession to release music that is just nailing it. It's awlays really well produced and has a perfect mix of club groove and melodic hooks to drive the music along. He's also been a DJ for as long as I can remember... So to the mix... All you need to know is it has A Guy Called Gerald's 'I Won't Give In' on it which is one of the finest records known to man... It also moves through lovely balearic stuff into more clubby moments... A very enjoyable ride.

Up next in the series is Johnny Sais Quoi (@johnny_sait_quoi) who just released his dancefloor-focused pop debut album 'Love On Ice' with us last month. Interview (excerpt) below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: So, who is Johnny Sais Quoi and where does he (and it's name) come from?

JSQ: Johnny Sais Quoi is my new French identity, I felt that France needed another Johnny after the passing of Hallyday. I live in Marseille now, but I’m from the UK.

MFM: Your debut LP 'Love On Ice' just got released a few weeks ago. Do you remember the first
steps or moment that eventually led to it becoming a full record?

JSQ: Not so much.. I write quite consistently, so they were made over a long period of time. During that period I was trying to find my ‘sound’ and trying lots of new ideas, so I suppose it was when I had enough tracks that I could make a selection that felt good to me.

MFM: The music on the LP somewhat reminds to the sound of the '80s, like New Wave, Pop and Italo but with it's own new identity. Would you agree? In what way did the '80s have an influence on you as an artist?

JSQ: Yeah I love 80s music. I love the production, emotion and romance of it, it’s always been such an inspiration for me musically and culturally. I love how the production seemed to go a bit crazy and people were really pushing the way music, even pop music, could sound. Also the advent of home recording and the seemingly endless supply of people at home who were trying to be their own variation of Wham! or Depeche Mode. These days I’m really interested in finding ways to borrow from this epoch but still sound contemporary. I find that hard sometimes, but always more rewarding.

MFM: Although the music is all yours, it's easy to imagine a full band on stage. Do you have a
background in playing in bands? And do you have any desire to bring it out on stage at one point, alone or with band?

JSQ: I started playing bass when I was 12 and then in bands from around 18. My history in bands was short and I miss it - I would love to join a band to play bass or synths or drums. Then I was part of a duo with my brother, we had a band for a while but now it’s just me. I’m beginning to work on the live show for this project which I’ll do alone to begin with, then maybe bring in some other instruments as I go, we’ll see.

MFM: Does writing new music come easy to you or...? What comes first, the instrumental part or the lyrics?

JSQ: I say that I’m working on the live show but in reality every time I try to work on it I end up making new songs. Making the music often comes very easy and is normally first. I’ve realised recently that writing lyrics is a very different process for me - the instrumental often comes very fast and I work fast, but I often forget that I need to slow down and work in a different way for the lyrics. I’m still learning how I work.

MFM: Tell us about your mix!

JSQ: I made it in Bretagne whilst I was doing some work there this summer, in the peace of the countryside. I wanted it to be a wide mix of things that I’ve listened to since I wrote Love on Ice. New inspirations and some classics, maybe a taste of what’s to come next.

Eternal Love are an Italian duo quietly making waves. They are about to release their second single on Music From Memory's Second Circle label and pull together the classic Italian sounds of Italo new wave, cosmic, tribal and afro through to 90s electronica but done with a modern take. A trusted source saw them play at the Living Room in NY recently and said 'they were just great. Like sweet 105bpm balearic business that you'd never heard before'. Which, lets be honest, sounds very much up our street. Enjoy the mix. It's super nice.

TP552 Eternal Love

An hours-worth of trippy sideways sonics from Stella Z... One of London’s rising selectors, Stella Z has had quite the 2025, with both her output as a producer and DJing prowess cultivated out of a youth spent in a mountainous seaside town in China immersed in Mandarin and Cantonese pop, post-punk, and international sounds.
