Over the last few months we've been quietly archiving all of the amazing music that gets shared at Paradise every weekend and we're now ready to slowly share those magic moments with the rest of the world.

Our inaugural recording comes courtesy of a first time B2B session that occurred between Josh Cheon of @darkentriesrecords and @barparttime's co-founder @jeremy_castillo at the Bar Part Time x Open Ferment afterparty on September 9, 2022.

Enjoy this two hour glimpse into a high vibe / high consumption evening with two of San Franciscos most talented and warm hearted DJs and be sure to check back often for more additions to the archive!

Paradise Archives Vol. 1 with Josh Cheon B2B Jeremy Castillo

Please meet London based DJ and producer, former Cafe Del Mar resident, and our long time close friend Phil Mison (@cantomamusic). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Phil, many know you as one of the DJ's who has played all the best sunset spots across the globe. How did your summer look this year, still been scoring sunsets here and there?

PM: My summer was great. I travelled to Amsterdam, Cork, Copenhagen and Barcelona and had some nice gigs in the UK. My friend Deke has opened a bar on the seafront in Margate, you get pretty epic sunsets down there. I played a few records one evening and managed to fit in a few old cafe classics as the sun disappeared into the sea. 

MFM: Please tell us a bit about how it all started for you?

PM: I grew up in the 70’s, so there were quite a few different influences. David Bowie ‘Life On Mars’ was an early memory, and I was obsessed with Blondie. Parallel lines was the first album I bought. Later it was Northern Soul, Electro, nothing really that mellow! In 87 I met a couple of people who were really into House. I started going to groove records in soho to buy records like Adonis - No Way Back, Ten City - Devotion. Then as 88 rolled around I got into the more Balearic side of things. Later in 89 I’d pop into Reckless Records for second hand stuff and started to browse the New Age section where I got things like Kitaro  ‘Tunhuang’ and Paul Greaver ‘Joy’. Those records were the starting point really. 

MFM: DJing in clubs to make people dance never really attracted you?

PM: I’d say pretty much most of my DJing has been in clubs. I started at the Milk Bar in Soho in 1992 after giving Darren Emerson a tape. Even though I was doing the warm up and playing mellow stuff at the beginning, you had to build it up to a full dance floor by the end. In 1996 and 2000 I was the tour DJ for Lefttfield, playing in front of 1000 odd people. ‘Just get it going before we come on!’ Alongside Ross Allen and Rob Da Bank, I was resident at Bar Rhumba for our Next Level night in 1997. It lasted a year and we opened with Harvey and closed with Andrew Weatherall. I Have to mention Moonboots and Jason Boardman’s night Aficionado too. I always enjoyed playing to a dancefloor there, they’ve kept the Balearic flag flying since 1998. 

MFM: At what point did you got into making music on your own? 

PM: I’d worked on a project for Kenneth Bager in 1994. Then later on he started his Music For Dreams Label, and asked me if I would be interested in making an album.  So the first Cantoma album was started in Copenhagen in 1999, and finished in London in 2003. 

MFM: How do you come up with a new song, is there a certain Phil Mison way to it? Do you write the parts for the musicians?

PM: It usually starts with an idea that pops into my head. Sometimes a memory or travelling will get a melody going, and I’ll sometimes hum it into my phone and use that as a starting point. Ive worked with Engineer/Producer Robin Twelftree on all the Cantoma albums. I’ll go into Robin’s studio and usually start with some basic keyboards, then I’ll play a bassline in. I’ll take the demos away and think about what would work on the tracks. For some musicians the music is written down. Ive worked with Robin Lee from Faze Action on a few Cantoma tunes, and he usually transcribes my basic melodies onto sheet music. Other times I’ll play the melodies on a keyboard or hum the tunes for the musicians to follow along to. On some tracks I’ll write the lyrics too and get a singer to record on a track. There’s a lot of going back and forth until I’m happy with the final cut. The music rarely ends up sounding like the first version.

MFM: Making a mix must have been a piece of cake for you :) What is this mix like?

PM: I went back through my 92-94 selection and picked a selection of the lesser played records. Memories of magic times at the Milk Bar and warm summer evenings at the Cafe del mar.

1800 triiip - Jura Soundsystem - Mix 052

Live recording of the first to last record played at Giant Steps on Sunday 12 February, 2023.

This sound system haunted our dreams, since they packed it up at Swan Wharf. Came with high hopes and open minds for our first Sunday at the Hackney Wick Baths. What started as a soulful afternoon selection escalated slowly into a rolling dance. A few asked since if it was recorded and - luckily - this time we got the sucker. 

If you were there, thanks for joining us and hope you enjoy the playback as much as we have. If you weren’t, hope you catch the glow of this wonderful setup. Blended with *ahem* human touch on 2 modified Technics and an ISO420 mixer, deeper into the night than we’d expected, under the shimmers of their famous mirrorball.

"Put on the DJ hat for BPT and made a long song for y’all. I have no control over it really, the hat is the one with all the power. I just place it atop my head and the songs put themselves together like magnets. Don’t argue with me, alright? It’s science. Ask your friend Bill Nye, he’ll back me up on this. Also there may or may not be a little rat under the hat who looks like Daniele Baldelli who makes me transition super clean but I guess you’ll never know will you? What you will discover however is that this mix has a 100% chance of music and if that doesn’t put a smile on your face then it’s time to see a therapist!" - @m_august

Near ubiquity is something unimaginable for anyone, even if we consider how the internet helps us transcend distances and timezones, but it seems to be easily accomplished by this vinyl-loving and show-hoarding selector that we have as our special guest at this edition of Gop Cast. Bianca Lexis is the kind of DJ that can accumulate as many outlets for displaying her immense creativity as opportunities to show off her gigantic collection: she seizes them all without diluting neither her unique collecting sensibility nor her special selecting ability. And from a steady slot at Dublab in her hometown of LA to her own spot at NTS aptly named ‘Panorama Heaven’ everything she does carries the same care for the audience and commitment to share her treasures that is shown here.
