T-P-F MIX 4 --- Simplicity Contentment Companionship

Irrepressible Dutch electronic producer Kettel steps up to deliver his unique take on Lost Idol's Mechanically Void, a track lifted from the forthcoming new Lost Idol longplayer Chrome Machine Tales. End of summer vibes abound on Kettel's remix as he rouses the discotheque with sprightly beats and his unique melodic flair from the get-go.

Mechanically Void Kettel Remix

Kema (aka Giulia Alessandroni) 
Alle Sorgenti Delle Civilta
19CACK (10"/MP3)

The first-ever dedicated album release by pioneering female Italian film music composer/arranger/multi-instrumentalist Giulia De Muittis (aka Mrs. Alessandro Alessandroni). Rare undercover pseudo-ethnological studio sessions made under her experimental alter ego Kema (The Pawnshop/Abnormal Sensations) combining the ethos of Can’s Ethnological Forgery Series (EFS) with the studio trickery of Delia Derbyshire and unshakable credentials as one of the founding figures of Giallo film music and Italian psych soundtracks.

Perhaps best known amongst fans of Italian production music and Giallo movie soundtracks as the wife of the legendary Alessandro Alessandroni, composer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Giulia De Muittis was an equally formidable force who emerged from the formative years of the aforementioned anti-genres and rose to a monarchic status within the country’s vibrant, and seldom rivalled musical secret society. The cliché “behind every successful man, there is a strong woman” might not do Alessandro and Giulia’s long-running creative unison justice but one thing that rings true that in the shadows of Senor Alessandroni’s limelight (illuminated by his work with Ennio Morricone for the films of Sergio Leone and Dario Argento) remained a darker musical feminine force which in time has come to represent the duo’s finest and most sought after sonic artifacts. In a career that spanned four decades until her untimely death in 1984 Giulia’s collaborative work as a reliable creative all-rounder and pop polymath has stood the unshakable test of time like few other musicians resulting in projects like The Pawnshop, Femina Ridens, Revolver, Questo Sporco Mondo Meraviglioso, The Night Evelyn Came Out Of The Tomb, Angoscia, Inchiesta Giudiziaria and Witchcraft ‘70 (Angeli bianchi Angeli neri) earning increasing “Most Wanted” status on the collectors’ market. It is of no coincidence that Giulia’s nom de plumes, Kema and De Muittis, have in recent, more educated years, become trusted seals of approval which connect top choice composers such as Raskovich (aka Sorgini), Stelvio Cipriani, Morricone, Braen (aka Alessandroni) Amedeo Tomassi, Piero Umiliani and Bruno Nicolai amongst select others. It is, however, De Muittis’ seldom heard self-initiated solo work for small independent Italian library music imprints that reveal a unique multi-instrumentalist female composer working at her most intimate and uncompromised best.

Warmth - Odessa (SineRider Remix)

Solid Steel (20th January) In Hour 1 this week it’s the turn of the excellent Phonica Records in London with a mix by Zappan Tee dropping a personal selection of music kicking off with Tamikrest, Lena Platonos and Miyako Koda, before expanding into tracks from Miele, Mystic Slot and Arthur Russell. He had this to say;
"I discovered Solid Steel through Hip Hop many moons ago, but over the years its eclecticism expanded my musical horizon and pushed me to dig in more than one place. For this reason, I wanted to create some sort of Slow Listening mix that spanned a broad range of genres and tempos. I have been quite enjoying this form of music consumption lately, as opposed to the Hip Hop mixing style that influenced me so much when I first started djing, with quick transitions and condensed tracklists.
Although 1h is not much time to develop an articulate discourse, I think there is some sort of narrative holding the selection together. Hopefully the listeners will gently let go and get immersed in this guided visit to the different corners of my labyrinthine record collection. Exit via the last track only!"

Solid Steel(7th September) In Hour 1 we welcome back Ital Tek for his 3rd appearance on the show. The Planet Mu artist is celebrating the release of 'Bodied', (the follow up to his acclaimed 2016 album 'Hollowed') and is out now and available to buy here: https://italtek.bandcamp.com/album/bodied As on his last album, the sounds on 'Bodied' are highly designed, but this time barely a whisper of dance music remains. Instead it's built around acoustic elements and ghostly choral arrangements, refracted and transformed into atmospheric, alien forms which are given the time to settle and transform. Rhythm is used only as a tool to give his world a sense of dark, mechanical momentum. He had this to say about his mix;
"When I'm deep into the process of making an album I enter a bit of a self imposed music vacuum. I tend not to listen to much else through a combination of wanting to keep my vision clear and also the fact of spending all day in the studio leaves me not really wanting to listen to much else. So when I come out of that phase it's always great to open the flood gates, seek out what I might have missed and get that spark back. This mix contains some of the music that has made an impact on me in the past few months since completing the record alongside a selection of tracks from my new album 'Bodied' ."
