Seshwa Mix Series 015: Acid Mama (Marsweather b2b Dio Garcia) Live @ Seshwa Weekender 2021

Louise Chen has been cutting her teeth as a DJ and promoter since the start of the 10s and has steadily been building her reputation as a keen record digger and club DJ with impeccable timing.

The Taiwanese-French artist uses her radio shows on NTS, The Lot and Rinse France to showcase the breadth of her taste, deploying a 'soul tearjerkers' special here and a 100 per cent gospel set there, as well as inviting guests like Mafalda and The Patchouli Brothers.

As she showed us last year, she brings only the finest-quality heat to the club with sets that invigorate dancefloors and radiate pure energy. The same goes for her tracks, as her burgeoning production career testifies.

Given that she's one of the most ingenious young DJs in the game, we called her up to contribute to Downtime and she's fulfilled the brief perfectly by...

Bside Incoming: Ziggy Zeitgeist

For our 147th show, we are honoured to bring you the impeccable selections of  Ziggy Zeitgeist.

Boy were we excited to listen to what Ziggy would send us. Being both one of the leading names in the nu-soul/future-jazz scene as well as an avid record collector, we knew we would be in for a treat. He's the drummer for the Australian based band 30/70, who have released some creative, liquid smooth blends of jazz, modern funk, hip hop and soul on the likes of Rhythm Section and Moontown records.

An absolute classic: 30/70 - The Strut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6e4dp-D1FOo

Now living in Berlin, he has pushed his sound in modern jazz via his band - Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, creating some truly stunning and intricate music. Their music has made fans out of Wayne Snow (who has featured on one of their albums) , Gilles Peterson, Bradley Zero, Kamaal Williams, Byron The Aquarius, Moxie and more.

A personal favourite track - 'Big up'  https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Yzi3Mk2ULHY
 
Be sure to also check out this journey of an album from him - 'Prayer For Peace', perfect for a chilling Sunday like today.  https://zeitgeistfreedomenergyexchange.bandcamp.com/

After spending time with his father looking for records to play us, we are blessed to gain a treasured glimpse into what music influences his style with this Bside Podcast. Pulling out nothing but gems from percussive grooves, calming classical, jazz funk, soul, latin sunshine, and more... Enjoy!

Coming to you live from the Funky Seshwa Decade Closer on Dec. 12th, 2019, it's a Disco & House Masterclass DJ set with no flaws from Chicago's legendary funky ass DJ, Rahaan! 

Rahaan closed out the party from 2AM-4AMish after a power set from Rich Medina and a warmup set from residents Willy Soul & Disgonuts (mix #1 in this series).

Coming to you live and direct from the Funky Seshwa at Good Room's hi-fi dancefloor, The Bad Room, we have an archived live dj mix from one of Brooklyn funkiest, Adeline! 

The mix is from February 20th, 2020 and features funk classics, soulful grooves, and some house that got the floor running at peak time before we had a live performance by Jitwam!

Adeline is a Paris-born, New Yorker, power house singer, songwriter, producer, and funky ass bass player. She just dropped a new single 'Twilight' that can be heard here:

Funky Seshwa Mix Series 003: Adeline (DJ Set) Live In The Bad Room 2.20.20

Definitely one of the illest mixes in the archive - we got the legendary Marley Marl live from our party with him on 3.28.19!

This mix is special because it takes Marley out of the box as not just a hip-hop DJ but an OG NYC staple DJ, playing the sounds that influenced him on his come up. Expect sounds from 1980's New York, classic funk + David Mancuso inspired tracks, and one of Marley's true loves: hard-hitting house music!... all with Marley's trademark turntable skills that make him one of NYC's finest party rockers. 

We hope you enjoy this mix as much as we do, definitely one to blast during peak party time.
