FIW - 2024 Highlights

Radio Shows

Back on the series, this time round with a special recording from the archives. We've been saving this one for the right moment and we think it's just about arrived - Last October, @theonlysamdon graced the console here in the house of leisure for Tempo 02. Here's the session in all its glory.

OT Radio 018: Sam Don live @ Tempo, Oct 2022

024 Suite Pastiche

The truly lovely Matt A.K.A Suite Pastiche dresses us up in a soundtrack fit for all seasons. We had the pleasure of partaking amongst a lively afternoon crowd at Waxflower which welcomed both rain and sunshine. Settle in for a selection of jazz, AOR, Dub, Lovers Rock, worldly African, and Boogie.

Suite Pastiche is a Melbourne-based community dance party for social intercourse, sonic bathing, and somatic expression.

"This mix is an excerpt of my set at the excellent Night Dancing party up in Newcastle earlier this month. I had just kicked off my tour in support of my new album, Just a Touch, and it was a special one!

Taken from the night's peak and with a dance floor locked into the music, I was in full-on party mode, with the tempos high and the selections fun." - Sam Don

Sam's  ‘Just A Touch’ LP of Underground UK Soul is out now on Athens Of The North. https://aotns.bandcamp.com/album/just-a-touch

SlothBoogie Guestmix #411 - Sam Don

Was a real pleasure to participate to this edition of @zmarfestival, a pinhole made for oddities, where @covahmuzak & Martin welcomed me very warmly. Many faces i missed and haven't seen in a while!
This collage of music might has a lil downer feeling, but heh.
You might want to give it a listen laying in the grass or at the back of the school bus.

I'd like to particularly thanks for this one the homies @wizaeroid, @arthurcrunck1, and Vincent Cavalli for the last additions they get me to play last minute.
Thanks also goes to @mikeh & Kevin for the ripping and the helping hands facing technical issues.

😘

"Jerry (B.P.T.) and I send each other recs of thriller/drama movies from the 80s and 90s and much like the music of this era, sometimes the worse the movie is, the more we like it. So here is a mix with a lot of the good/bad music from these good/bad movies … tunes from Body Double, To Die For, Stir of Echoes, Weekender, Sliver, Hackers, Great Expectations, The Vanishing and more… all stitched together with some balearic favorites that my friends are probably ready for me to retire. Ninety seven minutes of wine hand wavers for the whole family (shoutout Leda). Enjoy.” - @fundidofundido

“When I was asked about the mix around a year ago, I already had some records that I wanted to play in mind. My intent was to showcase some swedish sounds, but of course I couldn’t just keep to that. Like the australian record for example, or the fake reggae track in the middle. 

My goal with the mix was to create that sunny feeling that, especially us people in scandinavia, long for during the harsh winter months. And I think that I succeeded with my blend of dub, jamaican grooves, hiphop, UK street soul records, and of course a token italo track.”

Fasaan Rec. Episode #12 @ Mutant Radio w/ Danza

Sebastian Grätz, based in Hamburg, Germany, and known professionally as Basso, is the man behind Growing Bin Records.
Growing Bin was set up in 2007 as a music blog before evolving into an online record store in 2012, with the offshoot micro-label Growing Bin Records launching the following year. The blog initially existed to catalogue Basso's broad musical tastes, today Growing Bin is very much in the business of selling records; From the ultra-rare and special interests to generally curious finds.

A core appeal of Growing Bin is that the material is handpicked according to, and solely for one man's esoteric tastes. There is no chasing of trends; If Basso likes it, he'll sell it. Another of the shop's unique traits is its copywriting; Growing Bin's website is a marvel with musical categories including Cocktails By The Pool, Cheap Magic and Dancing For Mental Health, breaking down into subcategories such as Embarrassing Mindblowingness, Never Leave The Bag and many more.

Anyway, over to the mix. As expected, Basso has delivered a wonderfully eclectic selection of records. 
We'd like to mention a few of his inclusions; 'La Bimini' by Spunk, a breezy P-funk monster if ever there was one, off their 1981 LP Tighten It Up, tight as f**k indeed! Remaining in Jazz-funk territory, Underground Canopy & Paloma Paloma's deep and soulful 'Même Heure Même Endroit', B-side of a 7" single from 2023, is just sublime. The HaHa Sounds Collective version of Marker Starling's 'Silk Rock', as championed by Gilles Peterson on his Worldwide FM radio show, is an absolutely stellar piece of music and arguably one of the strongest releases of 2020. Taken from her 1976 LP Più, Ornella Vanoni's moody 'Tu Chi Sei?' (underscored by a beat suspiciously reminiscent of a certain Paul Simon record) is another timeless inclusion here. 
A big thanks to Basso for taking the time to record this fantastic mix for the series.

The Hermit Show w/ Danza & Mattias Lodding

Track ID: @danza

We've made high-precision calculations and found out that most of the our guest mixes were recorded by collectors from London and Stockholm. So we decided to continue this glorious tradition and invited a person with an incredibly developed musical erudition to participate in our show - Mr. Filip Esaiasson (the man behind "hand picked selection" labels - Fri Form & Dubbla Budskap). So laid back, press play, open a Google Street View and take the 61-minute soothing journey around Tyresta National Park, for example.

P.S. Artwork is the property of  Filip's beautiful daughter - Uma! Hooray!
