Sessions 12 - Luke Mele
“Fifth and Spring”

For Sessions 12, I tapped one of LA’s finest selectors, kindred spirit Luke Mele.
~
Luke delivers a 2.5+ hour marathon — a morning-time sipper that eases into an afternoon dance delight. It’s a lush journey through summertime spiritual jazz, fusion, soul, and disco, all pulled from crates at the iconic Last Bookstore in downtown LA.

Over the years, Luke has spent time digging at the shop, which he says holds a very special meaning to him. Hence the name of the mix: “Fifth and Spring.”

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

Mix number 75 has been in the archive for a minute. We were gonna post it, then we didn't. Then we forgot it was there, then we remembered. We listened to it again and thought 'shit, this is good' - So here you go. That's the story basically. 

You already know our guy Piers - Soft Rocks, Mysticisms, Apophenia, Roots Unit, Sounds Of Slackness - and lots of other top secret and dangerous projects we can't mention here. Longtime digger, record troubler, mixmaster, dubber at large, top dessert fancier and all round good guy inna London town. Go check him here: https://soundcloud.com/piers_harrison

This is a mix of little records - 7 inches. Small 45 rpm discs, the 'wee ones'. We're not talking about rabid hip hop completist shit, or pointless house classics on 7" or anything like that, this mix is more leftfield, worldy, scratchy dub leaning electronic and afro funk obscurities that you or me do not own, do not know the titles of and will likely never find in a record shop. A healthy dose of different styles on here, wicked sounds. All forms of rocking. Take it away P.....

»All the hope, the inner struggle, the repose, the sorrow - all of it is contained in the capricious disposition of the sky. It speaks to us in abstract terms each of us decipher in a personal way. This last year, more than any other, has been one of longing for better times, of staring out of the window, finding solace in the slow movement of the clouds.

Apart from a sonic storyteller of extraordinary sensitivity, André Pahl is a usual visitor of the firmament. He took yet another stroll in the wild blue and now tells us all about it in a wide kaleidoscope of human emotions.
	
This mix is a compelling testimony of those states we share with the skies: the longing melancholy of a sunrise, the embracing warmth of the twilight, the peaceful serenity of the rain, the indecipherable gloom of the fog. Lay back, look up and dive in, but be aware: feelings may arise.«

Next in the series, we welcome babyschön!

"babyschön is a DJ and radio host based in London. Whether in her live sets or on her weekly Soup to Nuts slot on NTS Radio, she connects the dots between new wave, new beat, synth pop and house, always keeping it weird and sleazy but rhythmic"

Today’s mix drifts through babyschön’s signature dancefloor energy, perfect for those smoke filled rooms.

Kick back and enjoy!
