Next up on @idlecellars mix series we have a dear friend, legendary Dj, selector and producer @felix-dickinson blessing us with his unique style and effortless flow. Some sweet unknowns and a few lost classics thrown in, a perfect journey from start to finish.

Felix has been part of the UK's underground dance scene for the last 3 decades, learning his trade DJing at free parties and illegal raves and co-founding his first record label Ugly Music in the 90's. He's produced records for well renowned record labels worldwide including DFA, Rush Hour, Eskimo, Golf Channel, Claremont 56, Futureboogie and his own label Cynic.

He has secured slots at well known clubs and festivals across the globe, and the last few years have seen him receive a lot more attention due to his high profile residencies for Block 9 (Glastonbury) and Croatia’s Love International as well as regular appearances at Houghton, Gottwood, Thailand’s Wonderfruit festival and regular tours of Japan, the USA and beyond.
 
Felix:

"The brief for this mix was something that you could listen to with a glass of wine in your hand as the sun goes down. It’s a pretty mellow early evening selection, something you can unwind to at the end of the day, but get’s a little more lively as the second and third glass goes down, so could just as easily be something to bung as you’re getting ready to go out."

We hope you enjoy this selection as much as we do 🎶

“In the midst of these tumultuous times, I've found refuge in the harmonies and rhythms of music, crafting a mix that captures the essence of the looming winter. Lately, I've been gravitating towards Lovers Rock and Dub Music. Perhaps there's something in the air that calls for the warmth and optimism these genres exude. It's my hope that this mix envelopes you in solace, bringing a beacon of positivity amid the prevailing chill. Let the melodies be your comforting blanket, reminding us all of the enduring power of music.”

Listening Session w/ Luke Una

As a DJ, a part of the Unabombers and as promoter of the legendary Electric Chair nights, Homoelectric, Electric Elephant Festival and Homobloc, Luke Una was not only contributing massively to Manchester’s 80s and 90s club scene but still carries a deep passion to share his music in clubs around the world. He is the curator of seminal compilations such as the Electric Chair and Electric Soul series as well as his latest É Soul Cultura project and label.

This Session was recorded for "Kasheme Conversations", an interview series from, with and for music lovers. This month with Luke Una.
In our conversation, Una shares what caused his relentless pursuit of music, why he would not call himself a record collector and why he is, as he calls it, so evangelical about music.

I am a musical storyteller, dedicated to touching hearts through the power of sound. To create an unforgettable and harmonious experience that resonates with the soul. As the co-owner of “Kasheme”, former director of the "Future is Now Festival” and the driving force behind the “Soul Rebels Collective”, I am deeply driven by the desire to connect with people through the transformative power of music.

My passion finds expression in a eclectic, free-spirited and soulful fusion of musical genres, rooted in Jazz, Afro, Soul, House, Balearic, Ambient and Spiritual music. Whether curating a listening or dance set or guiding the audience on a profound sound journey, my aim remains the same - to be a source of positive and uplifting energy.

For me, music is not just a performance; it's a form of human-to-human interaction that's infused with an abundance of love and passion. I reside at the crossroads of place, people, and sound, seeking to craft musical moments that leave an indelible mark on the heart and spirit.

All (DUB)About Us

Pecador Me Confesso - Reggae Infused - This album reimagines the dramatic, devotional ballad style of Artur Garcia, a Portuguese singer known for his emotive voice and theatrical phrasing, within the rhythmic framework of Jamaican reggae. The title, “Pecador Me Confesso” (“I Confess I Am a Sinner”), reflects Garcia’s penchant for spiritual and moral themes, which here are given new resonance through reggae’s meditative grooves.

We are kicking off the series after a short summer break with someone who we hold very dearly. We have always seen Basso as an ominous idol, someone whose Discogs -Ratings we used as a firm guidance when discovering new records on Germany’s flea markets. His very own Growing Bin is arguably one of the most consistently excellent vinyl-shops, Youtube-Channels and record-labels out there. 

Now about a year ago, the role-model became a friend, with who we share a subtle sense of humour and a refined taste for the perfectly placed “cheesy-yet-amazing”. This sentiment was somewhat reflected in a mix we did for Basso back then, and he brings it to perfection in this contribution to 5918mins. In his own words, he often used to work place-specific as an artist and tried to do this mix specifically for us, while staying true to himself. So what is the truth of Basso himself? Maybe it is just that he’s a bin – albeit a growing one. And what could be better than that?
