This month we were joined on Worldwide FM by one of Brazil's finest, @barbaraboeing. Co-captain of the Alter Disco parties / mix series and now residing in Lisbon, she offers up a flawless 60-minute mix that travels the globe with a big nod to her beloved Brazil. We cruised the first hour with a selection of street soul and downtempo cuts.

Heels & Souls with Barbara Boeing (WWFM)

Paula Tape | BBC Radio 1 Residency - Balearic Years

Michael Greene is Fort Romeau, an accomplished producer of smooth and sumptuous, or more groove driven and kraut influenced, house music. It has come in the form of many compelling EPs and LPs and on labels like Spectral Sound, Live At Robert Johnson and 100% Silk and takes cues from Italo and New Wave amongst other things. An intriguing producer who is genuinely bringing something new and fresh to the decades old house sound, he is a welcome addition to our series.  The mix we have on offer from Fort Romeau is one recorded at a recent gig at Corsica Studios in London that found him playing all night long. It was a real opportunity for the man to go deep, serve up curveballs and indulge many musical passions in one long session. 

“I really like playing in this way,” he says. “There’s so much freedom to shape the entire musical language of the evening and to make connections between disparate musics that you just can’t really do in two or three hours at peak time. Corsica is one of London’s best spaces in my opinion, the DJ booth is rock solid with none of the typical problems of playing vinyl that plague clubs these days, the sound system is good and the crowd has always been great in my experience, so i was pleased to be able to take over the programming for the night.”

The near six hour selection touches on ambient as well as various different strain of techno and house from across the ages. All knitted together into a perfectly balanced and well paced mix that keeps a vibe alive throughout, it is a fine testament of his skill in the booth as well as a nice little peak into the influences and inspirations that inform his productions.

As you would expect of someone called Lovefingers, American DJ and producer Andrew Hogge has a very special touch when it comes to making, playing and releasing emotionally involving, blissed out music. Hailing from LA, he runs the magical ESP Institute label and is also half of The Stallions as well as being a self-proclaimed hippie. That always comes through in the organic, loved up music he works with, and visual aesthetics always seem just as important to him as musical ones. 

The romantic and intoxicating mix he serves up is dedicated to Red Light Records owner Tako Reyenga and Mule Musiq affiliate Kuniyuki Takahashi. It is a loose-limbed, love-fuelled and fully horizontal delight made up of underlapping grooves, oriental motifs and gluey pads. The second half touches on more physical drums but also offers up yet more heavenly ambiance, bird song and jumbled percussion that will have you reaching for your shades and dreaming of summer.

There’s a subtle power to Beta Librae’s productions, an invitation to lose yourself in the moment, and give way to the whispering synths and striking kicks. Like a steady pulse, sounds melt into one another without missing a beat, often making time difficult to place. Vibrant animations are reflected in the sci-fi spaciousness and unpredictable grooves. With a strong connection to visual art, it's fitting that her tracks would be so evocative. Like a daydream, her music takes you through memories and landscapes to create a lasting emotional resonance. Her recent releases, a track on comp 4 by 1221 and cassette S/T for Lillerne Tapes, are marked by experimentation into the floating world of dub-tinged ambience and techno. Unraveling genre preconceptions, Beta Librae repeatedly dives into the unknown.

For Truancy Volume 170, she continues this imaginative and free-flowing approach, with the first 44 minutes dedicated to her recent musical creations. The second half explores tracks she has been listening to recently, most of them given to her by friends. From the hypnotising keys of Downstairs J to the surreal sounds of Buttechno, the mix highlights a variety of genres that appear to influence Beta Librae’s own productions. In the accompanying interview, we discuss childhood inspirations, life in New York, contemporary art and upcoming plans, and she delves into the nuances of her creative process.

Iranian born Mozhgan has a love of dark and ghoulish sounds that always play out when she’s on the decks. In 2011, she started her own We Are Monsters party in San Francisco and it very much went against the grain, mostly thanks to her own definitive sets which draw on 80s synths and vintage hardware as well as exotic and ethnic rhythms, cold wave sounds and industrial textures. Since then she has established herself on the global circuit with sets at cult places like Burning Man and Panorama Bar.

She will join us at Dekmantel Festival later this summer and tastes us with what to expect with this new mix. It’s a rugged and low slung affair with jerking body music and frosted synths making for an alien vibe throughout. While often abstract and desolate, there are moments of sci-fi beauty and heady depths along the way that make this mix a cinematic experience from start to finish.

Australian Lauren Hansom has the sort of expansive and immersive sound that makes her a perfect fit for a range of settings. She’s proven this with radio shows on Red Light Radio, NTS and Worldwide FM, as well as DJ sets everywhere from Lente Kabinet to Gottwood Festival via plenty of key European clubs. As an avid vinyl collector she delves deep into unknown corners of jazz, soft pop, acid, Balearic, you name it, and stitches everything together with seamless style. 

On this week’s mix, Hansom plots a global journey through sound that serves as a perfectly tropical and exotic post—summer comedown. After starting with new age bliss and clean synth tracks, the drums take on many forms from acid to electro to garage, all with a curious future-retro feel and wide range of cultural and musical references.

One of the many highlights of this year's Lente Kabinet was a radiant
set from Barbara Boeing. It brimmed with music from her homeland of
Brazil and spanned everything from funk to synth, pop to soul. After
many years building up her digital archives, it was only a couple
years ago that Boeing decided to start collecting vinyl in order to
open up new musical worlds and challenge herself as a DJ. By now she
is skilled at bringing together disparate and sometimes almost
un-mixable sounds into one absorbing tapestry, and can often be found
doing so at the Alter Disco night she runs in Curitiba with best
friend Phil Mill.

Coming off the back of her recent European tour she has put together a
mix of superbly easy listening South American sounds from the worlds
of AOR, pop, soul and tropicalia. Slowly working its way through the
gears, the lively percussion gradually makes way for more propulsive
house style drums that pump the dance floor with distinctly Latin
overtones. It's a classy and uplifting way to start your week.
