“Cafe del Mar, summer 1992”

Compiled by Jose Padilla
Length: 64 mins

This mix dates back to 1992 and is one of several that were bought directly from the Cafe’s DJ booth.  It was one of an incredible series of mixes that we collected over the course of the summer, all recorded at sunset, live from the cafe.

The mixes were each simply labeled with a number and by the end of the year we’d managed to get hold of either original or fairly decent copies of most of them.

Sadly at the time I don’t think we realised the importance or relevance these mixes would have in years to come and most are now long gone, so I’m glad this particular tape has just about stood the test of time as it was a favourite back then and just listening to the opening few tracks for the first time in over 10 years brings it all flooding back!

Hope you enjoy it, more to come soon…

Only one show away from the magic 200! But before that we have EP-199 with a very special guest from Seattle. I had the pleasure to meet Parker (@parkermills) when I was going to play in that great city for the Stayin' Alive Parties and others. Parker is one of the residents there and after hearing this set you will understand why.

His bio reads:

Cutting his teeth in the Miami house scene, Parker moved to Seattle in 2017 with a mission to bring the sounds he was influenced by to Seattle. His penchant for Soul, Disco, and leftfield house led to an opportunity to open for the legendary Questlove, as well as gaining the first residency of Seattle’s very own weekly disco revival, Stayin Alive. Whether it’s experimental house, Nu Disco, or soul classics, he has a singular focus on music that evokes an emotional response on the dance floor. Catch him as a regular at Stayin Alive, at the occasional jaunt at the Kremwerk complex, or at one of his charity pop ups under his non profit, Give ’n Groove!

Please give Parker some love at these social links:

Tracklist

The NDYD Radio Show EP199 - guest mix by Parker Mills - Seattle

Starting our second century of podcasts the way we finished the first we have something rather special in store for you. For the 101st edition of our mix series, we welcome none other than the nu school house trio of Mandar.

Singularly the triple threat of S.A.M., Malin Génie, and Lazare Hoche has delivered a truly diverse take on house across their own labels and countless others. Collectively the story is even more impressive as they produced one of the standout tracks of 2018 in ‘String Theory’ which came via their own label Oscillat Music. The output from this fine group of artists as Mandar is few and far between but what does come out via the Mandar moniker is always on point and always worth the wait.

The same can be said about their podcasts, so the fact we have them for our next instalment is something to write home about…

Terminal V Podcast 004 - Ben Sims

You will have gathered by now that we value dearly artists that have put in the time and all the success and adulation they have garnered has come as a direct result of equal measures hard graft and god given talent. This ethos is epitomised by UK techno stalwart Ben Sims.

Having been prolific since the late ‘90s Ben Sims is the quintessential techno artist. His discography reads like a who’s who of techno labels while his own imprints like Hardgroove, Theory or Symbolism have helped shape the modern techno landscape. What can we say about Ben’s utterly insane skills on the decks? His tooly, looping mixing style spellbinds all those that bear witness to his DJ sets and the different styles that Ben has managed to cram into his podcast for Terminal V is just a taster of what to expect from him…

For our latest podcast, we are excited to present fast rising talent Chklte with a vibrant mix of his signature swung and groovy taste. 

Chklte plays with a detailed delicateness that defies his towering stature.  A zealous 15-year-old Jonathan Lopez started sneaking into South Texas clubs to DJ after only a year of studying online tutorials & digging countless hours through the music crates the internet had to offer. Six years later in 2012, he became a resident of Austin TX and quickly became a regular guest at much respected local venues. Fast forward to 2018 - 2019, Chklte is now based between Europe & Texas and is one of the resident DJ’s behind the infamous Blacktone party out of Austin TX which has hosted artists in the likes of Voigtmann, Praslesh, tINI, Herodot, Priku, Alci, Afriqua & more.

Under his Chklte alias, Jonathan has a series of releases on labels such as OGE, We R The Aliens, Vatos Loco), Moonfruit, Floorpiece Digital, Melotherapy, Vuew, Honne Music, with forthcoming vinyl only releases. Chklte’s international acclaim has seen him venture around the globe including ADE Festival in Amsterdam, the well respected Club der Visionaere in Berlin, Germany as well as Mexico, Canada, London, Romania, Czech Republic, UK & Bulgaria. 

One of the most exciting new talents to emerge on the circuit in recent years, Chklte’s future is looking undeniably bright. It is a joy to host Jonathan on our series with a mix that is sure to lift spirits - enjoy.

This august would have been my first visit to Crato for a very special happening, Waking Life

The name itself carries a very deep meaning for me as it is shared with a film that has a very significant importance in my life.

Well, we all know what happened to the summer of 2020.. instead we gathered in an enchanted land behind the screen, called "The Space Between".

Chats at the beach bar and exploring our dreams underneath the stars.

This was my contribution, a trip through consciousness with eyes wide shut, traveling to the party that could have been.

Maximum gratitude for the invitation @Wakinglifeportugal

Next up in the Junction 2 Mix Series we welcome Italian super selector, @francesco-del-garda. 

A vinyl obsessive who first caught the bug in the ‘90s, the Timeless label-boss is notorious for unearthing obscure, forgotten dancefloor gems and sought after rarities, holding one of the most mouth-watering record collections in the game today. Ahead of his much anticipated Junction 2 debut next June, Francesco Del Garda conjures up a sonic tale of chugging house psychedelia, springy acid breaks and warping electro spacebombs.

It's only been a few weeks when Parisian artist Molly released two tracks on Fort Romeau's and Ali Tillett's Cin Cin label and now the recently elected Rinse FM-resident is back with new music on Torture the Artist – shining again brightly on the musical evening sky. With few but rather sophisticated releases, exemplary Molly's EP Waves on Giegling has to be named, she returns to the spotlight with a breath-taking, (musically) in-depth art:cast that basically combines everything her tracks, namely You Shine and Mr Ro Land on Cin Cin, individually have shown. Molly's art:cast is highly melodical and musical, forward-thinking, it captures bright and dark moments with its multi-genre approach, it's a piece that you are soaked in or can be – not having a choice as Molly's music is simply infectious.

Mix 21 comes from the hands of Potato Head resident and Second Circle affiliate Dea Barandana (@dea-barandana). Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Dea, welcome to the series. How have you been lately? How are you spending your days in Bali?

DB: Hi!! Thanks for having me. I’m actually doing well, i’ve been living in Jakarta for the past 3 months. I moved to Jakarta in order to work in the music industry, which is more alive here, where in Bali 93% of the income are coming from  tourism.

MFM: I assume dance floors in Indonesia have been closed for a while too, right? As a resident of Potato Head, do you fear for what will become of nightlife after all this is over or do you extract positive energy from it too maybe?

DB: It is pretty much dead regarding club scene in Indonesia, but there are still nightclubs open illegally here and there. I don’t want to think about too much, I just hope the best for everyone who work or involve in anyway with this industry to survive this pandemic situation.

MFM: Can you tell a bit more about how you initially got involved in becoming a resident for Potato Head?

DB: It was all started on 2012, which is pretty much day 1 . Back then I was only a resident DJ and soon it progressed to managing their audio engineering thing, setting up all their music venues such as Studio Eksotika, Kaum Jakarta, etc, even involve in designing room acoustic for them. So pretty much I’m doing almost everything related to sound and music in that company. And the actually gave me a cool title as AUDIOPHILE DIRECTOR hahahahha..

MFM: You were a musician at that time too already, right? What's the balance like in between all those roles?

DB: I wouldn’t say I’m a musician, I do play instruments but I don’t consider myself as a musician. I see myself more as an audio engineer and a sound designer. DJing is not my main income, I did it just because of my obsession on collecting music in any physical form, and I like to share it to others. DJing is just one of many ways to do so. But yeah 70% of my income comes from music or audio work related.

MFM: Exactly one year ago your first release as part of Zatua came out via Second Circle, as result of a live improvisation of 4 members. What can you say about how the EP was recorded?

DB: It’s recorded live, I don’t use any samples. My role in the band is the rhythm section. I wrote most of the bass line, both acoustic and synth based. I also wrote melodies and ideas for pretty much everything.

MFM: It initially was never a planned project, correct? Now that the first release is a fact, do you have more future ideas and plans for it? 

DB: For now, I’m more focusing on working with my other band than Zatua. The band are called White Shoes and The Couples Company, it’s one of the biggest independent group here in Indonesia and I'm in charge of the production of their 3rd album, I wasn’t part of the group but I took full responsibility on their recording process. It's different from my usual style but its more applicable for Indonesia local market. I supposed to release 2 mini album of my solo project this year, but it got postponed because of the pandemic. For Zatua itself, hopefully we can record a new album by the end of the year.

MFM: Thanks a lot for sending in your contribution to our mix series. What can tell about the mix? 

DB: I’m just let it flow. I don’t think to much when I play records.
