WAX POETICS x MUSIC IS MY SANCTUARY
Digging Soviet Melodiyas with Lexis 

"When it comes to exploring records from a culture across the world, nothing beats going to the source and digging them from where they originated. After spending time in Estonia (a former Soviet Republic) last year and again this year, I went from knowing very little about Soviet-era records, to being obsessed by them.

Turns out, digging Soviet-era records is quite a challenge!"

Where to start? Herbie Hancock is a living icon, not just in Jazz music, but also as a cultural personality. His musical cannon spans 60 years and surpasses nearly all benchmarks. In-fact, he sets the benchmarks. Delving into his discography suddenly makes one realize how incredibly versatile and prolific he is. From playing straight ahead jazz with Miles Davis in the 60’s, to constructing Headhunters (the 2nd highest selling ‘Jazz’ album of all time, after Miles’ Kind of Blue) Herbie refuses to settle into one style. The winner of more than 16 Grammys, composer of film soundtracks, collaborator with the up and coming and the trad masters; put simply Hancock is a genius. We’ve attempted to pay tribute to his astounding back catalogue by putting together a selection from our collective Hancock LPs, and even though we only touch the surface, you’ll find a fairly broad representation of his music within. There’s enough material to do another 30 of these mixes!

AIAIAI Mix 023 - DJ SPINNA

Since 2002 Wicked Jazz Sounds has step by step grown from a party organization into a musical platform. A family of music lovers including musicians and DJs who do what they love with heart and soul: 'Living with music and making that music'. Their way of looking at music is the broadest way possible. For example seeing jazz as a genre where a lot of other music derived from. That is why they consider funk, soul, hiphop, disco, drum&bass, afro, brazil & house as their musical base. They get their musical inspiration from old heroes as much from the newest dance floor killers.

After a hiatus caused by covid19, Wicked Jazz Sounds is continuing with her successful club nights in the cozy atmosphere of Bitterzoet, Amsterdam starting March 31, 2024.
