Music that sounds good

What a night! Such a pleasure to play for a packed dancefloor during Kater Blau's 56 Hour Nonstop/Sum Over Histories showcase. I'll forever smile when thinking about it. @kater_blau

I was thinking about writing more about this night and was finally inspired when I read @jake-basker's comments on his absolute masterpiece set from Garbicz 2022...

I struggle with posting live sets since they always sound flat or awkward to me later. They never seem to capture the energy and the magic of that feeling everyone shared. That yes yes more more, this is better than sex right now feeling that defies expression and just drives people to dance harder and longer. What a beautiful mystery of this human experience that music can inspire us so intensely...

That night was it the tracks I played? Was it how I played them? Was it the people dancing? Was it all those things together somehow? It was also Kater, the legend, love, and energy behind this place known the world over for cutting edge music. Also the other artists on the bill, and the lucky collection of people who ended up there and vibed together. That night was magical for all of us no matter the reason and this is here to remind us of what we created that night.

With only a few days left until we ourselves become deserted on an island, we thought we'd share with you our Bestival Desert Island Mix.

Made with the lovely Pedestrian, we hope this selection of sunshine music will be the perfect accompaniment for when you're next stranded on a beach.

Maribou State & Pedestrian - Desert Island Mixtape Pt.I

FUR - Pulp (Linkwood's Stargazer Remix)

808 State ‘Pacific State’ (greg wilson electric chair edit)

130 bpm

Never previously shared.

Madchester anthem from 1989, which, along with ‘WFL’ by the Happy Mondays, ‘Voodoo Ray’ by A Guy Called Gerald and ‘Fools Gold’ by the Stone Roses, encapsulates the time when the rainy city was at the epicentre of the dance universe.

Twenty years later I included it as the closing track on my Essential Mix (http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/essential-mix-greg-wilson-mix-for-bbc-radio-1), and, as with the opening track, the Dimitri From Paris edit of ‘Down To Love Town’ by The Originals, it features Jesse Jackson’s invocation from the 1972 Wattstax festival (which had previously been used to such great effect by Andrew Weatherall in his remix of ‘Come Together’ by Primal Scream).

However, I originally put this together not for the Essential Mix, but to open my appearance at the Electric Chair Last Supper on December 29th 2007. A number of previous guests had been invited to play for half an hour each, as the decision had been made to close this Manchester institution whilst it was still at the height of its popularity. As things worked out, I was the final guest to deejay at this cherished club night - only the residents played after me. I wanted to pay my respects in a proper manner, evoking the spirit of Manchester past, back through the halcyon late 80’s days of The Haçienda to my own time there in ’83, and at Legend beforehand, via a handful of track selections that reflected the spirit of this great music city, for which the Electric Chair, soon to be no more, had written a further chapter. You can stream / download the mix here: http://soundcloud.com/gregwilson/electric-chair-last-supper-29

The purpose of this edit was purely to extend the intro of the ‘Pacific 707’ version to suitably build into Jesse Jackson's poignant words before the beats kick in, whilst adding some subtle ambience to add to the overall atmospheric of this wonderful track, which always struck me as a ‘Stranger On The Shore’ for the Rave generation (the evocative 1961 single by clarinettist Acker Bilk, the first British recording to reach #1 in the USA).

Yamcast #5 /w Trus'me (@trusme)

To end this weird year off, we have the honor to present Yamcast #5, by one of our beloved residents and big music head, Trus'me. Founder of Prime Numbers record label and recently established in Lisboa, David has always been a favourite of ours because of his top selections of both soulful and eclectic records.

Expect to find him playing live for us next summer. In the meantime, we sat down with him for a small chat regarding music, creativity, and what's happening nowadays in his life.

//Who are you?

I’m known as Trus’me, but my real name is David Wolstencroft. I’m from Manchester originally and I fell into music very early with a label called Fat City Recordings who took me under their wing. I started a label called Prime Numbers and that was my platform for releasing music for the last 15 years. 

Now I find myself in Lisbon. I needed a change. I was living in Berlin for 5 years and it’s quite hectic - you know, clubbing, DJing, continuously in the music, I wanted to get away. I wanted sun, I wanted beach but I also wanted the music on the weekend and Berlin’s a 1 hour flight away, so Lisbon seemed like the best place to live. When you’re a constant travelling DJ, you’re always thinking about moving and the sun, the beach and Lisbon is like a little bit of everything. Everyone sort of B-lines through here, so I see everybody at some point in the year, but I also can go to the beach in 10 minutes. So like, this is the place for me right now.

//What's the idea behind the mix?

I think I played one of the opening parties and the closing parties for Yamba so I feel like I have a good idea of the style of music that works there and I’ve tried to show that in the mix. It’s never just stagnant in one style in the night. If we go from slow, soul jams, to disco, to boogie and then it gets more kind of fun, kind of like Detroit house and then it can even get a little bit more minimal towards the end. But the fun factor is that there is always like a push and pull. Whenever it gets a little bit this way, there’s always like “hey we’re on a beach so lets make it more fun, let's make it more happy" and I think that’s the Yamba vibe really. They’re not scared to go into the groove but they’ll always bring it back and it doesn’t matter about the tempo or the style, there will always be that fact that we’re on a beach, in the sun and we’re all outside. I tried to create that within the mix so that hopefully you’ll feel like you’re on the beach dancing and you’re going from a club till midnight.  

//Are you creative in other areas?

My degree was in graphic design and media, so I would say that the creative juices were always rolling but with that particular degree, it was all different areas. Music and production was one of them and I think I just held on to that one more than the other stuff. I’ve always been creative when I was younger, I always took art, I was always drawing, painting, I played an instrument in a windband, I was in orchestra but it was never really ticking the box or giving me that fulfillment. It was only when I found the Detroit sound, where they kind of bring everything together. The jazz, the soul, the hip-hop, the disco. They bring an electronic edge to it and it’s a little bit, you know, coming from Manchester, a rainy city, it was a little bit deeper and it’s a little bit darker but not in a miserable way, just more moody. And that’s when I found that particular world, a globe, where it doesn't matter what genre it is, it's just the vibe of the music. That’s where I felt more creative and that’s when I started to produce music.

But with a creative process with other things, I find that more with bringing people together. Right now I have different projects that I’m (...)
