Great atmosphere mix from  extraordinary  dj's and producer @dj-ground

Listen our new mix what came here by Garuda, directly from Japan.
Recorded specially for Amateur Exotic by Dj GrOun 土 a.k.a Ground.

Started perform as a DJ from school days, well, when else to start it in fact.While we can look from the other side - it's never too late . He's currently mix'o'meloman and compiles his sets to tell us about the variety of manifestations in all glory ✨

With his friends: Mt. Chills, Momo, Tossy, Barba, Pei & Kazushi they created Chill Mountain - an association that combines everything of our artists ''needs'', just like the Maslow pyramid, generally. From the label to festival, taking place in the mountains, near Osaka.

Incidentally, a reference to the pyramid was't casual - over a year ago - they started a series of events, called - Tumulus, the title was given that just has a direct bearing on Yonaguni - mysterious pyramidal formations on the seabed near the island Ryukyu.

At the events guys invite close-minded musicians like: Thomash (Multi Culti / Voodoohop), Kaloan (Voodoohop), Naphta (RBMA), QaQa Insideman (Grassroots) this year is planned a few guests, also. Ground San invites everyone, so if you're in Japan, let us know, we will coordinate .

This year was a very productive: he took a part in special creative project of Multi Culti, called Moon Faze/Sun Gaze, released second album, but that's no time to stop and rest, conversely, he dive into creative process and already preparing the second album the release of it is scheduled for the autumn .

Well, let's wait on Ground San new attainments and wish him success at his way! .

Africa is a vast continent but it has one universal rhythm pattern. The African exodus is said to have started with a family of 30, they are our universal ancestors. In a sense, we are all "African". The family of about 30 shared one language, one music. They had one mythology. This is where we all began. What was this language? 

A big chunk of the music I play is derived from and inspired by this idea, along with the musical testimony of the African region. Drums, xylophones and off-beat percussions are the backbone of the plethora of sounds that make me, as an artist. 

Having shared the table, the dance floor, and the drums with local Nigerians was beyond everything I could have expected and dreamed of. I was called African, I was one of them.  My hips, my swing, my rhythm, my mosaic of sounds were there to speak on my behalf. 

Playing in Lagos was one of the toughest sets I've played. I learned how to use a computer in a week, plus I was the first woman to perform throughout the tour. Also, the speed of the sounds being played locally, didn't align with my speed, this led me to use tracks of 160bpm at 100, mixed with Colombian reggae of 80bpm and gospel at 108. It's a true mashup of eclectic sounds, a set to dance to, for sure. Here's half of the 3,4hour set played in Lagos, Nigeria. <3 Bless y'all.

Alemayehu Eshete is considered the golden voice of Ethiopia. He's basically the father of soul and jazz music in the country. This sound is the sexiest sound coming from the country, this is Ethiopia's best from the 60s and 70s. This track is so damn sexy, I want to make babies with it, all the time. Here's my second edit for y'all to enjoy. 

Bless, Lola.

At the end of 2018, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Gallica (the digital archive of the Bibliothèque nationale de France), Akuphone and Ko Shin Moon were invited to create a piece from the library’s audio archives. After working on it for several weeks, a first version was presented during the anniversary ceremony. The project continued to develop over four months before arriving at a definitive version. 

The scope of the project was limited to audio recordings from the library’s collection that were free of legal restrictions, which meant: only 78 rpm records from the first half of the 20th century. The format is unique, left to specialists and forgotten by listeners and producers. 78 records are almost never used for sampling and it’s this application that makes Ko Shin Moon’s album stand out. Many factors needed to be considered, including white noise, breaths, the harshness of certain frequencies, and the production style from the era of the recordings. 

 Using these precious resources as a creative tool, Ko Shin Moon made substantial rearrangements, but he forced himself to respect the original tuning of the recordings by setting his analog synthesizers and instruments to the same microtonality as the records. 

 Most of the chosen samples were recorded between 1910 and 1940 and came from different parts of the world. These include: North Africa for “Gasba” and “The River,” The Middle East and Central Asia for “Segah,” “Bayati Chiraz,” and “Nava,” India for “Devi Sthothra” and “Narayan,” Mozambique for “I-XIII,” South Asia for “The Offering” and “Sabat Sabing,” Japan for “The Consonants,” and France for “The Offering.” 

 “We’re very thankful to have been able to have our work infused with such cultural heritage,” says Ko Shin Moon. “We thank the Bibliothèque nationale de France for their trust and above all, we want to show our respect to the musicians and singers present on these recordings. We hope to bring their voices to life with our music.”
