With pleasure I realized this new version of Marimba do Mar after 27 years from its first release, I have kept from the original song, the vocal line, the guitar solo and the magic percussions of the great George Aghedo, all other parts are completely new, then also the title.

Con molto piacere ho realizzato questa nuova versione di Marimba do Mar a 27 anni dalla sua prima uscita, della song originale ho conservato la linea vocale un solo di chitarra e le magiche percussioni del grande George Aghedo, che ho dovuto re-editare per adattarle alla nuova ritmica, tutte le altre parti sono completamente nuove, quindi anche il titolo

Paper pres. Low Life (Bill Brewster & Frank Broughton) at The Golden Lion: Tickets - skiddle.com/e/36710443

The term legend gets thrown about etc etc blah blah. but its hard to talk about Bill Brewster without including the L word.

Someone who has been at the forefront of music throughout his whole life whether its wearing his journalist hat, author cap, producer trilby, remixer bandana or of course his disc jockey deerstalker, Bill Brewster is an absolute tour de force of the scene.

We're thrilled that him and his Low Life partner in crime and fellow author Frank Broughton will join us on Dec 9th at The Golden Lion for a social shimmy shindig and to crank up the excitement factor he's done us this rather superb guest mix which you need to crack on & crank up asap!

Bill Brewster - Paper Guest Mix

Joe Morris seemed to come out of nowhere until I realized he was in front of me all along, as part of the Clandestino crew who put out a handful of nu-balearic joints on wax that I was checking in the late teens and on 12” singles for quirky & adventuresome labels like Pleasure Unit, Is It Balearic? & Wonder Stories. When his 2019 full-length album Exotic Language launched Joe’s Shades Of Sound label and a collab with local homie Cole Odin, I was all-in! SOS has been firing on all cylinders recently, and when Joe reached out we realized he’d be perfect for the first international guest on the mix series since the relaunch. 

A lovely journey through languid afternoons on a hot beach, nostalgic throwbacks to the good old days, obscure 80s blue-eyed funk, AOR groovers, foreign versions of beloved heaters, heady ambience, some Spanish guitar (natch!) and a heap of Balearic feelings are what this mix is all about. Perfect vibes for the final lights of Summer! Thanks Joe for the mix and we hope you enjoy.

Dicky Trisco Nossa Mix: A Love Letter To Mareh	

I got back from this year’s epic episode of Mareh with my heart full and my mind inspired as usual. It was another magnificent gathering of pure love and community with so many friends all gathering together to celebrate life, love, music and dancing.

The first day I got back in the studio, and still with the Mareh life force pumping in my blood, I did this DJ mix. It includes only tracks I played in my sets on the magical Mareh boat party and at the Bar da Praia on 1st day of the New Year.

It is my love letter to this coisa boa which has transformed me as a person and my life.

It’s called Nossa because WE ARE MAREH. 



Can’t wait to be back on the Mareh Carnaval boat soon with you mess amores.



Enjoy the music xxx

Gotta have your own style-Rhythm Factory by R.Lodola 1990

Roberto Lodola is an Italian DJ, composer, and record producer. His career began at the Mondo Blu disco in Busseto (Parma) in 1982. He is certainly one of the leading famous DJ’s and promoters of a music genre called "Afro-Funky-Cosmic," a blend of various musical styles such as Electronic, Afrobeat, Funky, Disco, Brazilian, Balearic Sound, Jazz Fusion, Rare Groove, Oriental, Reggae, etc. His search for records is continuous and ever-evolving, always staying attuned to new trends and releases that align with his style. 

Since the early '80s, he has been involved in and later organized major events called "Afroraduni," DJ meetings that attracted up to 4000/5000 people to dance to this alternative music, foreshadowing the Rave Party scene but with different musical genres. These experiences led him in the ‘90s to the full management of several dance clubs and the artistic direction of various events and clubs, which he continues to do to this day.

In 1983, he began a collaboration with African percussionist George Aghedo, who played his magical percussion instruments in DJ sets at the Futura disco in Parma. This collaboration resulted in several successful record productions, such as "Zanzibar Helen" in 1985, which became the theme song for a TV program on Canale 5, and "Marimba do Mar" in 1986, a classic hit of Balearic Sound.

Starting in 1983, he introduced synthesizers and electronic drums into his sessions, and from 1987, he also incorporated a sampler to create live arrangements and remixes for the dance floor. It was with these technologies that "African Rhythms" was born, released under the pseudonym "Rhythm Factory" in 1991. This production achieved great success in the UK, with the version "A Touch of Jazz" catching the attention of Gilles Peterson and climbing high on the Acid Jazz charts. In 2005, the track was featured on two prestigious international compilations: the French "Saint Germain des Prés Cafe' vol.7" on the Wagram label (Buddha Bar) and the London-based "Get this party started!" on "Expansion," alongside names like James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Michael Bublé, and Fatback Band.

In the early '90s, his relentless musical exploration led him to innovate across the "Afro Funky-Alternative Sound" spectrum. Consequently, he began presenting tracks with more modern sounds, always in line with his style. As a devoted fan of Brazilian music, he introduced the emerging "Samba Reggae/Axe," creating a distinct trend that influenced the new wave of alternative Italian clubs with a "New Afro Style-Ethno Beat-World Music" sound.

Since 2008, he has embarked on the "One-Night 70 No Limit" project dedicated to Funky, Obscure Disco, Nu Disco, and Rare Groove music, which continues to enjoy tremendous success at Le Ruote Disco Club.

Since 2016, he has shared the "Trittico" One-Night with Daniele Baldelli, dedicated to three legendary '80s venues: Cosmic, Futura, and Baia Degli Angeli.

Since 2021, he relocated his summer residence to Ibiza, bringing his eclectic and modern DJ sets to venues such as Pikes, Kumharas, Space, Malanga, EsXiringuito, Nagai Ibiza, Pacha (Funky Room), Sunset Ashram, The Standard, Raco Verd, Mesa Ibiza, Chirincana, Homies party at Pikes Ibiza, Casa Bonay Barcelona, Playasol Ibiza Radio, Ibiza Sonica and Ibiza Global Radio. His Balearic residency has also inspired numerous new productions, with over 25 new songs in the last two years. Today, he boasts a presence in over 300 clubs across Italy and Europe.

Roberto Lodola's career exemplifies his dedication to music exploration and innovation, cementing his status as a prominent figure in the world of electronic music and DJ culture.
