High on Spain

Very honored to have one of the greatest - CC:DISCO! with a very personal selection for your Tuesday blues. Here's what the tireless selector and DJ has to say about it:

"The following is a mix to enjoy while alone, weather its on the bus, plane, sitting in a park, at the beach or when you want to nap... ESP when you want to NAP!!! It takes from the 50s,60s'70s''80's eras, a time when lyrics told you stories and guitars made you feel warm and fuzzy. This isn't a mix of obscure tracks you've never heard to prove my 'diggin clout' but a mix to just sit back and enjoy, Loves songs that relax you and make you drift way and at some points you can even sing along.  It also features a few tracks my mum and dad would sit and play us on the farm (the Everly brothers) and a movie that our family was obsessed with it. (La bamba). These particular tracks take me to a time when I fell in love with the stories in songs and it was the start of my obsession for music you enjoy! NFTCM (not for the chins mix)" 

Peace!

Mix of the Week #314: ATLASt - Mind Odysee

Oldie but a goodie! I went on Beats In Space in 2009 and made this mix "Lullabies" for my newborn son. Finally uploaded it to Soundcloud. Mellow vibe, lay down and sink in.

[MIX] LOVEFINGERS - Lullabies (Live on Beats in Space – Dec 29, 2009)

Hailing from Zurich here's Zukunft resident and Phantom Island man Kejeblos (@kejeblos) serving the 15th MFM mix. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com

MFM: Hi Michael, welcome to the series. How are you holding up during these pandemic times?

K: Actually very well, thank you! I’m spending more time with my son than I usually do and I’m getting better at cooking. Besides that we are preparing some new releases for Phantom Island and I’m helping to keep the record store (Hum Records) I work at alive.

MFM: So the internet says you're a man of big taste and that you could write a doctoral thesis about the art of record digging. Can you take us back a little to where and when all that comes from?

K: First I have to thank Bjorn Schaeffner for those kind words. I was interested in music from a young age, but the record digging really started after I moved to Zurich. Here I was exposed to a lot of great record stores and I took an obvious route from House to Disco and got into it deeper and deeper. Lexx was definitely an important figure for me. He was working at a record store called Zero Zero and I was hanging out there a lot. And through that our friendship grew. At one point he invited me to join him to go t a warehouse that was connected to Zero Zero and housed half a million records. After that first visit I definitely spent a lot of time there and everything took its course.

MFM: Zurich is not particularly known for having a vibrant music scene and it's fairly remote from the cities that are. How did you get your fix as a big music appreciator pre-internet? 

K: I grew up in Liechtenstein and went to school in Feldkirch, Austria. Feldkirch is a small city, but there was a bar called Stone Club where you could listen to proper house and techno. I guess that brought me on the right track and sparked my interest. That’s also where I started djing and learned a lot about it before I was introduced to the Zurich club scene. Anyway, I guess I’m not a music appreciator pre-internet as I’m not that old :) But it was still different back then for sure. I was exposed to all the certified classics before getting deeper into more obscure music from there.

MFM: You're kinda connected to club Zukunft, correct? 

K: Yes, that is correct. That started through Lexx as well. He invited me to play there in 2008 and it really meant a lot to me. I used to visit the club regularly and it was always a dream to play there and it still is. For me it has been Zurich’s best club since it opened its doors and it still is after all these years. First and foremost because of always sticking with quality music. But another key factor is probably the diverse group of people who run the place.

MFM: At what point did you get involved in music production? 

K: Some of my old friends from Liechtenstein who also live in Zurich have been producing for a long time. I always hung out at their flat and out of this we formed Wavetest – but I always saw myself as the DJ in that group and still do. Unlike the others I’m not a trained musician. After some time we started to share a studio with Tobi and Ron (Fuga Ronto) and one day, as Flo (Florin Büchel, CCO), and I were jamming suddenly I was kind of guiding the project. That’s how the first Kejeblos record started. Without Flo, Tobi, Sandro, David, Moritz and Lexx that record would never have happened. I learned more about production during and after this first release but I still see myself predominantly as a DJ. If I have an idea, I try to pursue it. But I’m not constantly thinking about making music. 

MFM: Thanks a lot for contributing a mix! What can you tell about it?

K: Thanks for having me! I wanted it to be a reflection of different influences which turned me into the DJ I am now. A mix which flows well and is not just about track IDs and unshazamable tunes. In the best case you want to listen to it more than once. Also there are some upcoming Phantom Island bits featured.

Mix of the Week #352: Tony Rainwater

From the City of Angels it is our friend Bianca Lexis (@biancalexis) representing the 22nd mix. Interview (excerpt) down below.

www.musicfrommemory.com 

MFM: Hi Bianca, nice to have you on board. How's your day so far?

BL: Thanks for having me! Slow start to my day today, just woke up, worked out, and cooked myself some eggs and chorizo with pears and tahini. I’ve been hand modeling for extra money for a year now... LA is a crazy place.

MFM: ...hand modeling?

BL: Yes hand modeling! Like that episode on Seinfeld hahaha. It kind of fell into my lap at the perfect time.

MFM: Haha, wow. So, you've been doing quite a lot of radio, with regular shows at Dublab (where you've worked) and NTS too. What is it about radio that you like? 

BL: Yes, I volunteered at both stations for a while. It’s really cool to be a part of a larger community and easily find like-minded people all over the world who share a similar passion. A lot of times, being into music that’s not exactly top 40 can feel quite isolating. Because I feel so strongly about the music I love, to feel like I have an outlet to share that. Also, radio is a lot different than performing. I love feeling like I can play whatever I want. Mixes feel more personal. There is no pressure to cater to or pay attention to a live audience, which is a completely different form of DJing and also something I enjoy. 

MFM: Was it through the radio shows that you started playing dance floors too? You had a residency in a bar quite fast after you started, correct?

BL: Yes, I learned to DJ at my college radio station, then my friend Daniel T had enough confidence in me to let me play records with him in bars. Quickly after that, I secured a residency at the rather notorious bar, Tenants of the Trees, where I played records every Saturday night for a year. During this year, my collection grew, and I started playing proper dance floors at after hours parties. When I was let go from my day job at a greeting card design studio, I decided to try DJing full time. 

MFM: How's living in LA as a full time DJ? It is a rather big and spread out city, does that influence its scene(s) somehow? 

BL: I grew up here and never travelled until recently, so I wasn’t able to fully contextualize the city and its place in the global music community. Now that I’ve travelled a bit, I can appreciate how culturally fertile it is. There are so many different scenes, lively subcultures, countless parties. Liquor license restrictions make it so that bars and clubs have to close at 2am, so most of the scene gets pushed to risky illegal warehouse spaces. We don’t have clubs or reliable spaces to settle and nest in, which I think makes the scene feel a bit precarious. Also in order to cultivate a stronger local dance music community, booking local talent is extremely important. There are a lot of talented people here, but LA promoters tend to lean on bringing in bigger acts from other cities. Regardless, I truly love it here. 

MFM: You were supposed to be touring Europe a second time this year. Do you feel the world's lockdown has put your goals and dreams at risk?  

BL: Yeah definitely. I was really looking forward to that. This year has not been easy, especially for music/event workers. It’s comforting to talk to others in the same boat and to know I’m not alone though.

MFM: What are you hoping for once this situation is behind us and things pick up again? 

BL: When clubs start to reopen, it will be gradual and awkward. I think the pandemic will leave behind lingering psychological impressions - I feel uneasy just thinking about stepping in a crowded club right now. But all I can hope for is that a strong community emerges on the other side, with more fervor and hunger than ever to get back. I don’t think it will change my perspective to DJing much. Admittedly, I’m not listening to as much dance music as I was before, but I miss the club so much and I can’t wait to play and hear bangers at the club once again.

Mix of the Week #360: DJ Headset - Lost Horizons

Before ever chatting with Izaak, mutual friends told us both how much we reminded them of each other. Somewhere in lockdown, we finally connected and have been messaging constantly; about music, but also this vacuum we call life on Earth. One day, we'll meet. For now, friendship takes many forms and this mix is one of them. 

Izaak says the sound is very January, and I'd have to agree. My roommate came in while it was on and said this mix was very sad. I think it feels more like a k-hole. Either way, here's to the blues and all the feelings that come with cold weather and out of body experiences. Catch Iz for the first hour.
