2021

Tryna bring a good feeling back to the rave fantasy I miss & crave so much.
Run this up!

Intro sayz “I’m musing on something RAVEY, something sentimental, something groovy, glitchy, and strange. Hope you’re down for the ride.”

DEBONAIR invites Dee Diggs / NTS 06.05.2021

Number forty-five presented by a very good pal of mine and talented musician @djchrisellis. Chris' warm,  gentle and friendly aura as a person can really be felt in his musical leanings. The DJ and producer has contributed to series’ like Public Possession, Hope St Radio, Friendly Potential, Primer and Head Rush, spanning between house, electronic, Balearic, dub and IDM.  

Chris' productions are perfectly balanced --  groovy electronic dance music, but still maintaining a feeling of warmth and authenticity.  Beyond covid-lockdowns you can catch him play his playful live set, and he's also got a four track EP coming out on @publicpossession early next year.

Thanks again for the mix Chris! <3

“This mix is my love letter to 90s dancehall riddims and pop renditions. Some of the most creative and moving music in existence! Turn up the system, pop open that bottle of wine and press play :)" - @wonj

‘For home use only’ is an anti-club social, a chance to get to know someone/something. A series of transmissions purely dedicated to exploring the other side.

Hmmmm, I’m grappling with how much this episode means to me. Having Fia on here has been a dream from the conception of this series, a seed I planted years ago.  Now that the day is here it seems surreal. Fellow human beings and any other forms of life that are out there, I present to you For Home Use Only number 72 with Fia Fiell. 

Where to start? Fia Fiell aka Carolyn Schofield plays an essential role in not only my own personal understanding and appreciation of music but, I think I can safely say the same thing on behalf of the rest of Naarm if not humanity. A mainstay in our heads and hearts and bodies at Inner Varnika from the beginnings and hopefully till the end.  Her sense of crowd attunement is like none other, a demanding presence through her sonic sign language and her ability to push sound into a fourth if not fifth dimension. Her service to the scene is immeasurable, paving the way to a higher form of ambient landscapes and otherworldly sounds. Continuously pushing the boundaries and breaking apart the constructs as she consistently evolves, happily taking us all along for the ride. 

Completely dumbfounded, the sheer composition of this mix is a work of art itself. With an overarching sense of ecstatic rhythm, sprinkled with off kilter ideals, forming a beautifully rich tapestry of feelings and emotions on both ends of the spectrum. In a world where we all learn to exist with increasing numbness, there has not been a more important time to feel something. A heartfelt showcase of what’s inside the mind of Naarm’s greatest treasures. This is a walk through the forest at the crack of a cold dawn. The entire mix is full of astonishing moments, it’s time to find yours.  I will forever look to Fia as a source of inspiration and for that, I’m eternally grateful. 

Go feel something.  Much love.

Last mix of the year 2022 comes from Rotterdam based Suze Ijó (@suze_ijo) who has been making heat across dance floors world wide. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Suze, welcome to the series. You used to work at Clone. Do you believe working in a record store has helped you as a DJ and the other way around?

SI: I think that the type of person that gets attracted to working in a record shop are usually music geeks(like I am). So it was wonderful being surrounded by only music geeks for three years and sharing with each other our influences, hearing all the records coming in and finding out about some cool releases on labels you would never even think of listening to if it wasn’t for it being played in the store. I did get a discount but in the end my salary was basically being spent on new records. I think as a DJ working there it did inspire me to dig deeper because you need to advice all different kinds of people about what’s in store. As for benefits for the record store, I guess having qualified music lovers is a good thing to have around.

MFM: By sticking to the more soulful sounds, such as gospel, soul, disco, broken beat and house, and also being outspoken in championing the black community, it seems like you're expressing a message through music. Could you please share your thoughts on this?

SI: Being a black Dutch-Caribbean woman is definitely a big part of my musical identity. I like to weave Afrodiasporic sounds together mostly because they have so much in common, whether it’s House music, Salsa, Boogie, Broken Beat or Techno. I can hear the connections so clearly. Each time I might have a different message but a lot of them have to do with: losing and finding love, letting go, finding community and expressing joy. 

MFM: With playing so many shows at different places on this planet, how do prepare for your gigs?

SI: Sometimes it’s hard to prepare because you won’t know where you’ll end up playing or for what kind of crowd. I usually bring a variation of new finds and old classics with me. Also I try to make a playlist per event in Rekordbox. I kind of see it like puzzling, you want to make sure the pieces fit together. It usually starts with me overpacking and then slowly taking out the records that aren’t necessary or most likely won’t be played. I used to spend a lot of time preparing but because I play so much these days, I am almost always in a state of preparation and that takes away the stress that used to come with it. It allows for more spontaneity.

MFM: Please tell us about this mix, was there a certain vibe or idea you wanted to capture?

SI: I wanted this mix to be slow paced and imaginative, to almost make it feel like a movie soundtrack when closing your eyes. I don’t want to say too much about it because I want every listener to have their own interpretation but the transmission of intergenerational trauma and memory is something that I had thought about a lot lately. Then I found a poem by Brazilian Maestro Milton Nascimento which is the guideline of this mix. The Poem “Era Rei e Sou Escravo” (translation: I was a king and I am enslaved) tells the story of an enslaved person, being taken from the African mainland and no matter how badly he is treated or wherever he is taken, he says that the memory of his country and the memory of the music of his people stays and never goes away. It keeps him hopeful, he ends the poem with: Sou Escravo Serei Rei(I am a slave, I will be a king). From that moment on we travel.

MFM Mix 046: Suze Ijó

Khotin has been a key figure in the developing Electronic music scene emerging from Canada - for over ten years he has been producing and releasing music.

His sound has evolved exponentially, weaving between sounds and styles with cohesive ease of which others might only dream of. His records have found a home somewhere between the heady 90's ambient and trip hop era, deep house and has drawn upon abstract influences from balearic roots, trance and a whirlwind of other other cultural guises.

All of this makes his music remarkably interesting and hard to pin down.

His forthcoming album "Release Spirit" is forthcoming on acclaimed label Ghostly International. It features a collection of ambient soundscapes, tape recordings and off piste samples as Khotin draws inspiration from far reaching influences such as World of Warcraft, train journeys through Europe and Japan, family vacations and beyond.

We asked Khotin to record a mix which reflects a similar nature of the new album - the result is a delicate assortment of textures which lend themselves to a brooding optimism for the year ahead. At least we hope..
