The quartet from France are a steady fixture in the world of modern digging. Colin, Guillaume, Romain and Xavier originally met in Marseille but are now all based in Paris where they very successfully continue their hunt for the unknown (seldom above the 110 BPM mark). 

The now-Parisian taste-makers do not only have one of the most excellently curated Youtube Channels out there, they recently also proved that they are very capable Editors themselves on the most recent (and excellently curated) Orange Tree Edits (Vol. 8). 

For 5918mins., they provide nothing short of a masterclass of modern digging - which left us astonished and (dare we say it) even a bit envious given the sheer endless amount of unknown treasures comprised in this mix. So without further ado, let's dive right into 111 mins. of pure digging pleasure.

Outsiders: Low Budget Family w/ Andrei Zhilin @ Kiosk Radio 25.08.2021

Hailing from the Belgian capital and as 1/3 behind the Şelale record on Second Circle, it's our friend soFa (@sofaholic) on mix 32. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com 

MFM: Hi Chris, can you tell a bit about how you made your first steps in the scene as a DJ/producer?

SE: That was first by playing school parties only, and later by organising parties and getting booked by others in return. The usual game, but it was a bit easier as today since there was less competition I think. On the production side I am quite new to that. I started in 2018 only because I lacked time before that, I used to have a job as curator for an art festival and also digging for records kept me busy and excited for many hours every day. 

MFM: Earlier this summer saw the release of Selale on Second Circle, a collaborative project between you, Okay Temiz and Houschyar. Most releases you've worked on are collaborations. Is there a reason for that? 

SE: Yeh different reasons. It's much more fun to share the fun! I'm not a properly trained musician, I like to break rules, rather than applying them. Collaborating with people who know notes and harmonies allows to combine those 2 visions and the results are more exciting to my ears. I feel I have more to say by helping others to get their music right (or wrong) cause that's what all those years of digging after very specific records have taught me.

MFM: Any more projects lined up already?

SE: Yes, quite a bunch I produced with dear friends, Nyati Mayi, soon on Bongo Joe, CCCVVV with Clara Vellin on Strangelove Music and Sexo Y Fantasia with Da Boochie from Kiosk Radio on Glossy Mistakes coming up. There is also a solo record going to the pressing plant next week, coming out on Planet Trip in spring. It has guest singers, but I call it my solo record since I played the whole beats and synths by myself. Its probably gonna remain my only solo record for a while. I slipped into so many collabs and I'd like to focus on that. I especially love working with singers/voices and hopefully some day I get to produce a whole band project!

MFM: What are you hoping for to find in nightlife now that dancefloors are opening up again? Have you been thinking about this whole situation a lot at all?

SE: I am looking forward to seeing people smile and dance again! Party wise I would especially hope to find more groove and less hard music everywhere. I have the feeling the youth of today can only dance to hard stuff, I find that sad. Real music lovers can dance to anything. The whole situation is/was of course tragic for the nightlife sector. Especially for younger people who are in their best years to create a network of friends and experience adulthood for the first time. On a personal level I liked the time off. It allowed me to focus on a more healthy lifestyle and on making music. 

MFM: Cheers for contributing your mix! What can you tell about it? 

SE: I glued together the first half of it while on a roadtrip in Albania last month. Second half I did this morning in a rush. It's nice tunes, diverse and odd enough as I love. I don't care too much about the technical aspect, I just recorded a bunch of records I felt for sharing. In my opinion all that Dj thing is a bit overrated and way too serious. We are just playing other people's music afterall. There is an art behind that, but I feel it's getting lost more and more. For me it's not about the technical side of it, it's about adapting to people and still surprising them in an original way.

Continuing the animix series this week is one of the most passionate and talented musicians I know. Max Santilli ( @maxsant ) is a musical chameleon with an incredibly deep and diverse knowledge of music. One half of the Eora/ Sydney duo @angophora , and an avid record collector,  
max has released a beautiful range of releases under the duo and his solo project. 

The warm qualities that shine through in maxes music are reflective of his deeply humble character, and his music never fails to blow me away - beautifully tranquil and always unique. 

Please enjoy this sublime home listening mix.

Thanks again max! ❤️

Each of our musical issues is special, but this one is special in its own way. In fact, this should not be regarded as an entertaining or informative mix in the usual sense of our series. For this episode, an incredibly gifted musician and artist from Vienna, Connie Frischauf, shared with us a piece of her sound universe, woven from the finest sincere and trembling materials and audio objects.

Below is a direct speech from Connie: 

"This is the first episode of "Gestirne und Umgebung" called "Gestirne und Umgebung I". Here sounds, songs or texts come together, inspired by aquatic bodies, their surroundings and their observation."

~ Geräusche in Stereo / Stereo Sound Effects - Kleiner Wasserfall / Small waterfall (Europa)
~ Edmondo Giuliani - Mare Calmo (Sonor Music Editions)
~ John Berger - From "Some Notes About Song (For Yasmine Hamdan)" (Penguin Books)

~ Der Plan - Nessie (Bureau B / Ata Tak)
~ Harold Danko - Across The Cliffs ( Sunnyside)

I would also like to remind you that Connie released one of the best albums of this year - Die Drift on the Hamburg-based Bureau B label. You can support the artist and buy a digital or physical copy of the album on the label's Bandcamp:

This month, UK duo Mount Kimbie put out a double-album that is essentially two solo records welded together. It's not terribly surprising: each member lives in different countries (the hip-hop inspired Dom Maker in LA, techno head Kai Campos in London) and they've talked about their differences and what each brings to the table in past interviews. MK 3.5: Die Cuts | City Planning splits the duo's kaleidoscopic sound into its constituent parts, with Maker's side focusing on woozy hip-hop and R&B and Campos's reflecting a love of straightforward '90s techno, as dance floor-friendly as anything the group have ever released.

It's the latter that we're here to showcase with this week's RA Podcast, which is a recording of Campos's new live set. In a way it's a more fleshed-out, comprehensive companion to the his side of the album, but it stands on its own as a blistering techno performance. Combining the melodic sense and quirky arrangement tics of Mount Kimbie with a pulsating, stripped-back approach borrowed from Detroit techno—classic drum machine sounds used to the fullest—Campos reinvents himself as one of London's best techno artists. Like the new Mount Kimbie album, it's different, welcome and impressive.

“Extracting the eternal from the ephemeral” 

Hello and welcome to the 13th episode of The Best Effort Show on Skylab Radio. The number 13 is often considered unlucky. Mathematically, 12 is a perfect number and trying to improve upon that by just adding an extra digit is thought to be foolish. There were 13 people at the last supper. The basketball star Steve Nash was a two-time MVP but never won a championship - guess which number he wore on his jersey? 

There are others who choose to make their own meaning of numbers. Those people mostly consider 13 to be one of the ‘wonderful numbers’. 13 is about the abundance of the universe. 13 is about committing a moment to memory. 13 is about dreams perceived while awake or asleep.
