Calypso Jazz Mix 2020 ca 1955-1970

Next up in Mr Bongo’s Record Club mix, we’re delighted to welcome Meanjin (Brisbane) based DJ, digger and promoter, @benny_chiu.

A key member of Meanjin’s scene, Benny has been putting on events in the city as part of the A Love Supreme collective since 2012. From small laneway get-togethers, to warehouse parties and club nights, live shows with legends Marcos Valle and Azymuth, to showcases with dancefloor icons like Theo Parrish, Marcellus Pittman and Gilles Peterson, Benny has had a hand in bringing a full spectrum of greats to the city that might not otherwise have made it.

That diverse and eclectic outlook is reflected in Benny’s DJing. As at home spinning jazz and soul, as he is broken beat and house, his ability to weave styles and genres together in a cohesive journey is a real talent. It’s one that has seen him sharing the bill with the likes of Hunee, Theo Parrish, Floating Points amongst many others.

For this two hour mix, Benny has put together a fittingly broad selection of favourites:

“This mix has a lot of elements that I'm really into. It’s on the brighter side for a ‘club’ mix but thought it would go down nicely for Mr Bongo. We got some jazz and Latin flavours mixed through the housey stuff. Fellow ‘Australian’ crew Oyobi with ‘Mi Ritmo’ is a fave. And I know this one has been getting plenty of play around but ‘Oyelo (Atjazz Love Soul Remix)’ by Sunlightsquare is such a tune. Musclecars latest album has been getting plenty of love lately as well, though ‘She Raised Us In Sunset Park’ from their earlier EP Street Dreams is a fave.”

Big thanks to Benny for the mix, he’s touring round SE Asia at the minute but keep an eye for his next movements.

BCR Radio Episode 046 - J. Rocc - Cooking For Chefs (Side A)

Ruby Rushton return with cinematic new single “Walk to Regio's”, the lead single from the London UK jazz quartet’s highly anticipated 'Legacy!' album on 22a Records.

As a bandleader, flautist, saxophonist, producer, DJ and label boss, Tenderlonious has earned his polymath stripes. On "Walk to Regio's", Ed takes inspiration from multi-talented legend Isaac Hayes, in particular his ‘Shaft’ soundtrack. 

“I’ve always been obsessed with film music and it’s played a key role in my approach to composition. Issac Hayes’s ‘Shaft’ soundtrack is one of my favourites and has had a big influence on my music over the years. “Walk to Regio’s” is my salute to Issac Hayes and is a nod to one of the coolest films ever made!”

Ruby Rushton trade the hustle and bustle of 1970s Harlem for the restless, ever-shifting energy of contemporary South London. A hypnotic piano motif sets the tone, locking into a deep groove laced with crisp horns and percussive layers. The rhythm section stays tight and purposeful, giving space for quick bursts of improvisation - each solo a snapshot of raw, soulful musicianship. It all circles back to that familiar refrain, closing with a flourish that feels both grounded and soaring.

'Legacy!' marks the fifth full length outing from the Ed ‘Tenderlonious’ Cawthorne led group who helped pave the way for the recent wave of jazz that has ignited the capital and enchanted the world. 

“Walk to Regio's” is released across all digital platforms on 31st July and you can pre-order ‘Legacy!’ on LP / CD / download on this day as well.
