jesus christ. i find myself coming back to this mix more often than not. thank you for the education @the-nation

Thought I heard some        Los Iniciados

Louis and Guillaume are the mischievous minds behind The Pilotwings. Formerly both Lyon-based (Louis has now upped sticks and moved to Athens), the duo's melange of synth-pop, Balearic and soft trance has formed the basis of releases for BFDM, their longstanding label affiliate and home of their first release, as well as spells at Macadam Mambo and Animals Dancing.

As they've grown, so too has their sound. It's still fresh and psychedelic as ever, but there's more focus on the use of instruments and a wider palatte of influences, plus they've brought a third member into the fold for their latest release, their second LP on BFDM - Les Charismatiques.

Their own solo projects are just as worth your attention too: under Eiger Drums Propaganda Louis makes tripped out ambient weirdo trance while Guillaume's output as Jonquera is a dub-wise downtempo affair. 

Following the release last year, we roped them in to doing a mix for us, a request they gladly accepted. Their 'Back to the rave machine' mix is a wild ride through trance, acid, psychedelia and house. Get stuck in.

The Jak Presents DirtybLends Demonstration III: Technique

Delighted to host @fergus_clark Influence mix on Oddity Radio for @12th-isle

@fergus_clark : The mix is quite simply a playlist of songs that reflect different genres and styles of music we share a bond of appreciation over. Some of them are classics from our early party days, some are records which contain many elements that are exciting to us. Some of them still get a lot of play, but most are quite reflective of this 2013-2017 era of 12th Isle. 

Turn on, tune in and don't drop out!

Traxx Presents: Street Sounds.Emcees & Producers of The 80s 90s into the 2000s

Conjuring memories of daydreaming in the midsts of suburbia. A new mix from @priori-ties

Some words from Priori: “I grew up in a working class neighbourhood of Longueuil, Quebec, Canada. Being an only child in the suburbs meant I spent a lot of time daydreaming and contemplating my environment. I was a bit of a melancholic kid so post-punk and ambient music made a lot of sense to me when I discovered them. I stumbled upon an album called Strike by 154 by accident, probably wanting to download something else off of Kazaa. It really changed things for me as a teenager and I still hold it dear. There's a song from it in the mix, along with a bunch of other things that bring up similar feelings for me.”

“As for news:
Alex (Dust-e-1) and I are putting out a new record as ANF on NAFF, should be out April 26th.
Some more collabs and solo things coming out in the summer.”

music for... growing up in the suburbs - Priori

When the culture of hip-hop first began to take shape in the 1970s, 
it consisted of at least four fundamental elements: 
deejaying, emceeing, graffiti, and breaking.

Breaking, popularly known as breakdancing today, was created 
in the Bronx in New York City. The term breakdancing as it’s used 
in the media often mixes New York’s b-boying and West Coast–developed dance styles like popping, locking, and the electric boogaloo. B-boy dance moves are influenced by a number of cultural sources, including African-American and Afro-Caribbean music, kung fu, and capoeira.

Breaking reached peak popularity in the mid-1980s, when a 
number of films showcased the moves and the youth who created it. 
Breaking began as a mode of self-expression; it was a part of a larger culture that reflected the social, economic, and political conditions of the youth at that time. Now, decades later, as the style and moves of breaking have changed, so have some of its traditions.
