About this journey :
It's a real pleasure to be invited by Comsovision Records. Thanks a lot.
How does one interpret "Tradiciones", the theme of the series ? In its first sense, tradition is the (collective) memory of what has been and must be transmitted and enriched. History, culture, music. Sharing allows for rememberance. Tradition and transmission become one. My particular history with Senegal naturally turns me towards this country. And my love for Cape Verde makes me want to take you there too. Geographical proximity, bilateral diaspora, common history. And, on both sides, a music to stir your guts. So I dug in the bottom of my (cooking) pot to extract some records from the 70s and 80s. 
Hoping to make you discover some of them... and want to taste more.
To the sound of percussions, the journey begins in the forest of Casamance. It continues in the River Valley, around baobabs of the Serer country, in the streets of Thies, up to the port of Dakar. Latin rhythms mingle with those of the sabar, the energy of the tama collides with the praise of the griots. The voices of Laba Sosseh and Pape Seck flirt with those of Youssou Ndour and Omar Pene. Salsa and mbalax become one.
Fonseca (of Senegalese mother and Cape Verdean father) then invites us to raise the anchor. We leave the land, we take the sea. Islands under the wind meet Islands in the wind. From the volcano of Fogo to the bay of Mindelo, calm follows the storm, joy unites with sadness. Guided by the cadences of coladeira, tabanka, funana, cumbia. Lulled by the songs of Bana and Cesaria. Fatteliku (memory) and sodade (nostalgia) become one.

About @xogn:
My musical culture swings somewhere between Brussels and Dakar. I spent 10 years in Senegal. There I run a music shop, co-organised the monthly "Koulgraoul" parties and co-hosted radio shows. Step by step, African music has become a real passion. Back in Belgium, I specialized in records sale, being dj regularly for African and Tropical parties. And I really enjoy mixing at Kiosk Radio every month! By the way, "XOGN" comes from Wolof (Senegalese language). That's what we call grilled rice. So, it means "cooking-pot bottom" ("Fond de marmite")...where my spicy records come from!

1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

Well, I think I started collecting records back in 2003 shortly after I've started producing.  I was totally into Downbeat music at that time, labels like Ninja Tune and Tru Thoughts with artists like Quantic, Bonobo, Blockhead and TM Juke were right up my alley and I bought all their records. Around the same time I started producing. First I also did Downbeat music, but I quickly was getting into the Funk/Soul thing and released several records over the next decade. 2016 I somehow had enough of this sound and started working on Downbeat music again, because originally I wanted to release that kind of music when I was getting into music producing. In 2018 my first Keno album 'Around The Corner' was released, two years later the collaboration album 'Transatlantyk' I did with Tristan de Liège from Los Angeles was released. Later this year I will release a collection of remixes and one offs in the 'Out Past The Current' album and for 2022 I plan to release my third Keno studio album. After being more than a decade part of the electronic Funk/Soul scene it feels like coming home producing Downbeat music again. The last 5-6 years I started listening more and more to Downbeat music again and luckily there are great new albums released pushing this genre to the next level.

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

It's a nice and handy format, simple and short.

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?  

Well the mix contains some old and some modern cuts, some live Band songs and some produced more beat driven tracks. I've tried to vary a bit between live and produced music trying to put them together.

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music?

My music is on most of all platforms available, I like Bandcamp a lot. I also have a radio-show called 'Motor Jazz' every second Friday on Soho Radio London, but on the radio show I also play heavy club tunes, not just Downbeat, Electronica  and Jazz. I deejay ocassionally at the Mojo Jazz Café in Hamburg and sometimes on Festivals and clubs.

5) Top 5 all time fave records

With “all-time favourite” it's such a thing, I prefer making a Top 5 of Downbeat albums I listen a lot to at the moment:  

1) Tor 'Oasis Sky'
2) Catching Flies 'Silver Linings'
3) Teis Ortved 'Parks At Night'
4) Leon Vynehall “Nothing Is Still'
5) Amon Tobin 'Fear In A Handful Of Dust'

Whilst maintaining it's fundamental elements, the essence of the of the 160-170 BPM music bracket or DnB spectrum has been fluctuating wildly in recent times. It's ongoing evolution is as relevant, infectious and omnipotent as ever.

Hyp 172: Sam Binga

In Iceland, Thomas Stankiewicz contemplates the constant flux of the elements. A composer & musician in his own right, he selectively weaves in between soundtracks, classical music, and evocative ambient sounds, symphonically unveiling untold stories from past and future…

Oblig - 19 December 2023

.....all the feels of a full moon eclipse, bleeding and releasing with her, reflecting on the macrocosms and microcosms of Self, self and Love...humanity, ours and mine... Existential Eclipse crisis in musical form for my own healing and ours.

This is a medicine mix for myself to move through my own goo, and hopefully it will resonate with someone else!!!

Perhaps it's more of an ecstatic dance style set than a club set, but it has elements of both. I just love recording mixes for myself
 and putting them out, and others can choose what to do with them, for now.... I've been listening to mixes on SoundCloud for a loooooong time, like that, while I am driving, cleaning or cooking. I most always end up dancing. 

***

Enjoy the imperfectness... and the gems of magic that happened!

Love to all,
Tessa Wren

Timing is everything. My man GoldLink and I have been trying to find the right setting to sit down and chop it up. After months of bouncing back and forth we finally connected and made this session happen. GoldLink to me is one of my favorite emerging artists. I don't really need to give him an introduction. But just know that he has Rick Rubin on his side, Soulection on his side, and every A&R/label head on him. It's refreshing to connect with an artist who gets our sound and is at the forefront of this future beat sound/forward thinking community. GoldLink said that he and Soulection will run music in 2015 and beyond. Hear why.

Follow Me (Part 1) [feat. Bloody Jay & Georgi Kay]

Tracklist & full article: http://www.factmag.com/2015/02/02/fact-mix-481-nightwave/

100mph techno, footwork, booty and more.

Born Maya Medvešek, Nightwave first started cropping up on our radar back at the end of the '00s, first with a series of dubs (and FACT comments!) under her past name 8Bitch, then a series of EPs on the Seed (Equinox, Astarte) and Slit Jockey (G41) labels.

After changing her name to Nightwave, she returned with a succession of releases on Fortified Audio, Unknown to the Unknown and more. Nightwave's always been open about her love of hard, fast dance music - Underground Resistance, Funk, Deeon, Mills and the rest of the gods - but it's over the latter half of her discography where she's really let that come to the forefront. Her recent releases, mostly self-released through her Heka Trax label, have been her best to date, regularly hitting the 140-150bpm zone and featuring collabs with DJ Deeon and TT the Artist. Listen to 'Rave Hard' or 'Fire Hoes' and tell us that's not someone firmly in the midst of a hot streak.

It's no surprise, then, that Nightwave's FACT mix - described as "the kind of stuff we play at my club night Nightrave and what my typical set sounds like I guess", is a ridiculous amount of fun, hurtling through old and new music at some rate of knots. Bangalter's mixed into MMM into Deeon. Rustie into Godfather into Jammin Gerald. Maribor into DJ Milktray into Finn. It features Mad Mike, UR and Plastikman's 'Spastik' within the first four tracks, but just at the moment where you think you might need to calm down, it throws you 'Pony'. Oh, and there's an absolute ton of Nightwave's own material too.

Strap in. And if you don't like snare rolls, look away now.
