MRMR DAY & APERO

Today is a new day... New like the music in this mix, which was mostly produced recently, bar a few re-releases... A place where a rave breakbeat can merge into tribal percussion, ambient into dub, space funk to space punk with a filtered nod to salute the robots. Is it chill or dance? Who cares, it depends on your mindset and where it takes you... Away and to a happy place, fingers crossed!

Mix 26 comes from dear friend of the label and Revelation Time shop owner Eiji Taniguchi, who(with Norio Sato) is responsible for compiling the 'Heisei No Oto' compilation. Interview (excerpt) below..

www.musicfrommemory.com 

MFM: Thanks for joining the series Eiji. How is life in Osaka?

ET: It's a pleasure to join the series along with other great lineups. The state of emergency has just been lifted in Osaka. Bars & restaurants are starting to open later than 8pm gradually. Everyone is feeling like doing parties again now. I miss when it was more lively with many tourists. Compared to Tokyo, it’s more chill and relaxed. And things are much cheaper although it's the 2nd biggest city in Japan.

MFM: Is it a healthy city in terms of culture, art and nightlife?

ET: About 5 years ago, clubs were cracked down and people couldn’t dance after 1am but it became legal and now it is allowed to open clubs till morning. I think it’s not so close to the mainstream, and you can be more free from commercialism and you can do what you want.

MFM: Your record store Revelation Time has gained a lot of appreciation and respect within the worldwide music industry. How did it all start?

ET: I was more like a collector, private dealer, buying records in Europe, States, selling them on the internet. But I got bored of sitting in front of the computer for a long time, then I opened my shop. Fortunately you can have shops on like 4th floor of the building for cheap in Japan. And luckily I met many good friends and famous DJs, artists I had never imagined to meet before. I learned how people listen to music, and how to recommend music.

MFM: Osaka counts many more record stores, most of them in the same area too. Do you have an explanation to why so many record shops can survive next to each other?

ET: I think there is relatively less pressure economically to live in Osaka and more small shops with speciality than big commercial shops. People try not to compete but help each other to coexist. I personally try to sell different stuff from other shops. It’s the same for clubs. In clubs, you sometimes find party flyers of other clubs. We have many tourists from Asia, not only from Europe, Australia, and the States, after relaxed visa (of course not at the moment), we have sales from people of many different countries.

MFM: Heisei No Oto contains music released almost exclusively on CD. What do you think is the reason that a lot of Japanese music got released on CD but not on vinyl? 

ET: I think it was a global trend but a specific reason for Japan is the residential environment. CDs take up less space than records and 1990 was the peak of the bubble economy, CD was a better format for the mass market. But vinyls for DJs were still pressed in the 90's because there wasn’t CDJ yet. Japanese Hip-Hop became popular in the 90’s and my friend DJs in the UK wanted those Japan exclusive releases so much. 

MFM: How is that for you, does the CD have a different meaning or value to you compared to a vinyl record?

ET: For me it’s just a different source of music. I was into 80’s stuff but as my interest moved to 90’s, it was very natural to start to dig CDs. I think I bought almost 1000 CDs in the last few years, but I'm still buying a lot of vinyls too. I love the sound of vinyl of course but I like the clear hi-fi sound CD too. And it’s very easy to digitize. 

MFM: Did you encounter a lot of difficulties with making the selection and contacting the artists for Heisei No Oto?

ET: I guess it’s relatively easier to find artists than before, thanks to the internet and social media. I almost gave up on licensing one track but Jamie suggested to find the player and contact, (actually the artist was a fictional character) and it worked. Some artists weren’t so interested at first but I think everyone is happy to get involved now. More artists understand now that people listen to music regardless of when they are made, after Youtube and music subscription.

Prins Emanuel presents Sif Nou #16 w/ Julien Dechery (28/03/21)

Well, here we are again...

As the weather gets better, and the temperature rises we all need the correct musical selections to accent the mood. Who better to do this than our friends the mighty mighty DOMply crew out of Rio De Janeiro? A multi-faceted gang of French and Brazilian diggers and party organisers who push a unique style and sound. 

Craig Ouar has been our friend for a couple of years now, and was the best host you could ever ask for on GGHQ's recent Brazil tour, welcoming us into his home and showing us the incredible sights and sounds of Rio and Sao Paolo. Craig and Simon (Who also happens to be one of the guys behind the dope Parisian Bayetë collective) are 2 members of what is a bigger picture (big big love to Giu, Pino, Mauricio, Cleo, Andre, Juliana and everyone else too!) and their 2+ hour mix showcases a true flavour of what DOMply and their incredible parties are all about - an original collection of deep Brazilian and global sounds that are definitely the result of their surroundings and broad influences. 

This is a very special mix for us, and is soaked in colour, style and good feeling. Perfect as we roll into the brighter days!

Breath, ground, center. An exploration of current inner energies, emotions and forces. A search for peace, calm, and the power of stillness. A proposition to live these intimate wanderings as a common, shared experience. To finally look inwards, together.

SVVENIR (09/04/21) w/Ohlandy

2021's first mix in line comes all the way from sunny Australia by dear friend Lauren Hansom (@laurenhansom). Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Welcome on board Lauren. How was your start of the new year? It's summer where you are now right? That must be nice :)

LH: Hiii! Thanks for having me onboard :) The New Year has been great. Spent time surfing & soaking up sunshine in Australia.

MFM: You moved back to Australia last year. What has been keeping you busy there since? 

LH: I moved from Amsterdam to Berlin at the end of 2019 and went to Oz in February 2020 for a holiday. COVID hit, so I ended up staying. An easy decision with nature, beaches, food etc. Although, I’ve pretty much been living out of a suitcase as the majority of my stuff is in Berlin. I bought a Yamaha RM1X & a Poly800 last year to do some music and learnt The Mandalorian theme tune. I’ve also been learning more about quantum mechanics & biology plus space, which actually led me to find more cosmic sounds in genres from IDM to new wave for example. Imagining space with a multitude of soundscapes is pretty neat. 

MFM: While many DJs jumped on the streaming bandwagon it looks like you kept rather quiet over the last months. Is that for a reason? Did you maybe find other ways to creatively let go, or...?

LH: Thought you wouldn’t have noticed - was secretly trying to pull off a “Homer Simpson disappearing into the hedge”. Streaming is a great way for people to stay connected given the circumstances. For me, having a live crowd is always part of my process. No crowd, no party (or a one person party - not bad for these days, actually...). Also not having any gear here made it hard, especially with lockdown and social distancing.

MFM: Things were going really well for you as a DJ, your career seemed to be in a lift. What do you now hope for when touring becomes an option again? Has 2020 changed your perspective? 

LH: Thank you for saying so. I was pretty overwhelmed by how often I was playing and am grateful for it. It’s still very much a “pinch-my-arm” thought. I really would love to continue sharing tunes & creating musical experiences in some capacity. I’ve been thinking about Music Supervision within film & TV, so have been spending time on the side looking into that.

MFM: I've heard quite a few DJs saying they lost the urgency or need to listen to dance(floor) music. How is that for you? Have you been keeping track with new music lately at all? 

LH: I’m always listening to different styles, especially non-club music as it’s sort of where I started. Although I’ve enjoyed the holiday of not having to find a billion new tracks before every weekend, I’ve still been following new releases & it’s been interesting to hear how music has been shaped by the pandemic.

MFM: How would you describe that shape shifting? 

LH: I noticed more people collaborating from afar due to social distancing, restrictions and general lockdown. I think this allowed for some experimentation in a way and often that leads to something surprising and new. Sonically and stylistically, I think 2020 was really diverse as opposed to previous years where there was definitely a “Sound of Summer” so to say. There were also a great deal of compilations for new music to support artists affected by event cancellations and club closures.

MFM: About the mix, do you actually prefer a mix request to come with some kind of theme or direction to it, or do you value the freedom more? 

LH: Both. It’s nice having a brief as it gives you boundaries & pushes your creativity. Sometimes too much freedom can make it difficult. That said, I’m always imaging stories & daydreaming, so often the imagery in my mind’s eye gives me a good starting point. Once I have an idea, I create a selection of music & work out a way to make it all flow until there is some sense of an emotional ark & musical journey.

MFM Mix 024: Lauren Hansom

There is a time to dance and a time to rest and many things can happen in between... 
An ambient pause to focus more on the meditative aspect that can guide our daily spleen.
Taking elements from different periods, weaving them together, creating something new...
Relaxing to the sound of silence and disconnecting ourselves from everything we once knew
