VH: Hi Franz aka @franjazzco, welcome aboard. What have you been up to lately? 

F: Hey! Thanks for having me, it's an honor. Hm, pretty much the usual - working during the week, having a ball on the weekends, spending more money on records than I probably should, take care of my cats..

VH: How are you connected to the Viennese music scene?

F: I'd say pretty good, this town and its people have treated me well! I moved here from the countryside in 2003 and since then I've had the opportunity to participate in a few projects and collectives. The most recent is a DJ and event crew called Service, which I run with four friends. In general, I think this town holds incredible creative potential. There are so many people out there who I like to call friends and companions and who are just great at what they do - be it DJing, composing and producing music, organizing events, running venues, labels, or record stores - just everything that makes up a vibrant music scene!

VH: On the streets of Vienna, they say you're a great digger. What does that mean for you?

F: If so, I’ll take it as a compliment, and a very charming one at that! In fact, I've probably been obsessed with discovering new music all my life. I think this has its roots in my childhood, when I had a hard time falling asleep at my designated bedtime (I've always been a night person, it’s probably genetic), and the only thing I could do at night to avoid getting caught was to listen to the radio I had in my room on headphones, with the lights off. I think I felt the presenters were my friends, accompanying me through the dark and lonely nights, introducing me to all kinds of new music - basically more or less what I do myself today as a DJ, or at least try to.

VH: Tell us about your crew in Vienna "Service". As a presenter yourself, what do you look for in a show?

F: By now the crew consists of fellow DJs and friends Bambi, Gianni, @steinwald13, @mellolololo and me - a great combination, as everyone has their own skills and talents to contribute, and they're just some of the sweetest people around. We've started six years ago with an open-air party at a beautiful venue just outside the city, right next to the Danube, and we’ve been doing it every year since. We also host regular nights at Celeste, a nice little club with a very intimate atmosphere and strong sense for community that has massively supported us and our work throughout the years, as well as floor hostings at various locations across town and a monthly show on @resradio. Hm, what do I look for in a show? Bottom line, a good and easy time, an environment where I can feel welcome and safe enough to let go and enjoy a little escapism from the burdens of everyday life.

VH: Do you have any plans, wishes, or anything else for the near future that you might want to share?

F: I have a few gigs coming up before the end of the year that I'm definitely looking forward to, and right now I have two more mixes to finish.

VH: Thanks a very much for your contribution. You said at the beginning that you have been struggling to finish another mix. Do you find that a difficult task?

F: While I really appreciate these opportunities to play music to an audience that I might not otherwise reach and use tracks that might not fit in a live setting, it's a toxic mix of overthinking and procrastination that makes it hard to actually finish. Honestly, I'd like to record mixes more regularly, as there are still too many records gathering dust in my shelf that deserve to be heard. 

VH: How would you describe the mix you created for us?

F: I decided to take a chance and dig into the downtempo and chill-out areas of my music collection. Some memories of the golden Vienna downtempo days of the late 90ies and early 2000s, but also some uplifting, melodic Balearic vibes that, no matter the genre or tempo, I can hardly keep my hands off. I hope everyone who hears it enjoys, and thanks again for the opportunity!

Gesellschaftliche Erwartungen is back with a special duo from Zurich called @cocofresco! Their infamous DJ sets are an eclectic overture of fine selected Italo, (Swiss) Disco and obscure sounds of the past and the future. Fitting my needs of happiness in this strange times of senseless violence. Coco Fresco refers not only to a tropical juice, it is that sweet melody rinsing down your ear, while enjoying the  bitterness of a clashing society. Stay fresh - stay strong.

Yours 
Lustpoderosa

Freedom to Chill w Jen Harkness - 27/1/23 on Voices Radio

Last school year was a special one at Can CANELA! We made it to a decade, and despite the fact that we've been working tirelessly behind the scenes since the pandemic (right now we have 2 test pressings at home...), we were able to celebrate our 10th anniversary in two of the clubs where we've enjoyed the most during all these years the simple but oh so comforting act of sharing records with people: Café Berlín in our beloved Madrid, and LAUT in what is and will always be our home, Barcelona.

The truth is that we aren't people who like to celebrate our birthdays in a big way, but when it comes to Canela En Surco, it's a different story. It may sound cliché, but the fact is you don't celebrate 10 years every day, and so we wanted to offer a gift to the attendees that would commemorate this day forever.

The gift came in the form of a one-hour mix recorded back to back by our favorite Yorugua Maxi Arrieri aka Fatal with Canela director Breixo Martínez, self-released in a limited run of 50 cassette copies, featuring design by Fatal aka Maxxximiliano himself and an illustration by one of our favorite artists, Martín Funcasta. We gave away the tapes to the first ones to arrive that night at LAUT, as well as to the staff and some friends who have greatly helped us on this path.

Drone, Folk, an unreleased song by Ivy Barkakati, Industrial music, a song that sounds like Sumo but is NOT, oh, and of course a lot of opiates,...

Our funds only permitted this limited run, we would have liked to make more but the idea was that nobody had to pay for a copy (we wanted to give back a little of what people have given us over the years). Many friends have been writing to us to see if we had any copies of the cassette or if we could send them the audio of the mix instead, so we finally decided to upload it to our website for the personal consumption of those who want it.

QUE EL SURCO OS ACOMPAÑE SIEMPRE!
MAY THE GROOVE BE WITH YOU FOREVER!

P.S. Unfortunately for the night at Café Berlín we weren't able to deliver a gift in time (something that we will never forgive ourselves for but that we will try to solve in the future).

We're changing course from our regular format to release a very special mix by our friend and previous guest @rupert-marnie, label boss of the Hamburg-based imprint @ThePressGroup. Marnie has just released his latest album "Evocative Rhythm Experience" on The Press Group and to celebrate this occasion, he has created an ambient mix using only the tracks from the first record of the double LP. The mix is the perfect companion for relaxation and introspection, and it's the perfect mix to supplement your chill-out sessions. 

To enhance the listening experience, Hamburg-based cinematographer Lars Zimmermann has created a meditative video that perfectly complements the music, which we have premiered on our YouTube channel. The video is compatible with unwinding down after a long night out, having a lazy Sunday afternoon, or just zoning out with some lovely images.

About the album:
“Evocative Rhythm Experience” is a singular object to begin with. Split over two parts, each one working as an individual piece and under seemingly endless configurations when played together on a pair of record players, “Evocative Rhythm Experience” is an elusive piece of musical abstraction you will play a crucial role in shaping, fashioning it as you dabble with it - certainly curious and cautious at first, then manipulating its raw clay more firmly as you envision it with a clearer idea of where to go with it.

Interview with @nomoontrax:

"As recently I’ve been playing a lot of sets later on the in night, it feels like I haven’t had much of an outlet for the lighter side of my music collection. So I have channeled that into this mix. There are a couple of unreleased/forthcoming ones of mine, a really great new track from Gnork, and a couple of my all time favourite house records."
