Music For Other People Podcast -2

From an early age i’d always bought records 7’’ picture discs were my go to thing before i moved onto exploring what else your pocket money could buy and discovered the 12’’ and LP.

A friend of mine introduced me to listening to John Peel when i was 13 and that was and is the reason i listened to lots of different styles of music.

Whilst growing up you will always discover many different sounds and the older you get the more you dig around and the more music you hear and so on.

John Peel and my mates gave me the chance to hear so many good records over the years and through time many others will influence your musical tastes and avenues.

One such person was the late great Andy Weatherall, his selection and production of music will always be the doorway to the other side of music that you haven’t heard just yet but he knew you would like it.

So Music For Other People, this is a monthly podcast where i can talk about records that i have bought & found along the way, as well as music that i have been introduced to through many like minded record enthusiasts and collectors.

Hope you enjoy what you hear, i have added the track list below along with links to each of the records played if you wish to look them up and purchase them.

Music For Other People #2

the last episode of mellow madness 2022 and I'm delighted to host Brussels-based producer, DJ and multi-instrumentalist @kuna-maze for the second part of show with a brilliant mix in the same universe as his productions from jazz to house and broken beat 🙃

Producing in solo, he’s now playing his shows with a live band! Together they offer a performance where the energy of the musicians and the audience meet and reproduce the same warmth and energy that was found in jazz clubs back then and electronic clubs now.
I heard that a new album is coming very soon (spring 2023) spoiler: it's dooope so don't sleep on it!

As usual first hour by yours truly with new music from @jasualcazz new single on @chuwanaga, also the new single from upcoming album of @gintonicorchestra (@floors-records), @kuna-maze plus some oldies from our regretted Gal Costa 💜, Isabelle Mayereau, Herb Geller, Ojeda Penn, Ghalib Ghallab and mooore!

BANDCAMP - https://spacetalkmusic.bandcamp.com/album/traces-of-illusion-compiled-by-skyrager

Compiled by Skyrager // Artwork: Elvis Barlow-Smith

After a bit of down-time, Spacetalk Records returns with something special: a stunning compilation of obscurities, rare cuts and secret weapons compiled by label co-founder Danny McLewin under his Skyrager alias.

Although most widely known as one half of Psychemagik, McLewin has long been regarded as one of the UK’s most decorated crate-diggers – a DJ and record dealer recognised for his ability to unearth slept-on gems, private press obscurities and campfire-friendly curios. He’s already showcased his curatorial skills on a string of acclaimed and now sought-after comps – see Psychemagik’s Magik Cyrkles, Magik Sunrise and Magik Sunset Pt 1 & 2 – but Traces of Illusion marks the first time McLewin has put together a collection as Skyrager.
 
There’s no grand concept behind Traces of Illusion, though McLewin’s selections are universally tactile, sun-baked and effortlessly summery, evoking images of nights spent camped out in the Californian desert or beneath the vibrant canopy of an English forest at dusk. As you’d expect, there are no well-known anthems or ‘big tunes’ here, just an inspired selection of largely unknown musical nuggets oozing in quality.

There are plenty of highlights to savour amongst the 15 tracks on show, from the blue-eyed soul of Rebozhaze’s 1981 gem ‘Second Movement’ and the echo-laden Balearic boogie of Phil McDonnell’s glassy-eyed ‘America’, to the sublime brilliance of Japanese band Tao’s ‘Makin’ Love’, where sweeping violin lines and fretless bass catch the ear, and the bubbly synth sounds and shuffling drum machine grooves of Daniel Sofer’s Dewdrops’ taken from an Oberheim drum machine promotional 7”..

Everywhere you look across the compilation, you’ll find slept-on treats. There’s the seriously atmospheric, practically unknown leftfield synth-pop of YMA’s ‘Tempted’, the synth solo laden folk soul of Michael’s ‘Bluebird of Heaven’ – a cut originally written to be performed by a ‘contemporary Christian’ group in Texas, but instead released as a solo excursion – and the Terry Callier-esque brilliance of Gregory Paul’s ‘Sun’.

And so it goes on, with McLewin flitting between deep and tactile treats (the jazzy Rhodes solos, immersive chords and relaxed grooves of Teatron’s ‘Swing’), spoken word sporting acoustic Americana (Scott Fraser’s inspired 1998 cut ‘Communique’), undeniably Italo-esque (Brenda Kane’s ‘French Kissing’), sub-heavy dancehall-soul (Noel Stone’s impossible-to-find ‘Girl of My Dreams’), enveloping ambient jazz (Larry Yanez’s incredible ‘Xai Jua Jua’) and dub-flecked, synth-sporting prog rock (Bob Bath Band’s highly sought-after ‘Traces of Illusion’, after which the compilation is named). 

It all adds up to an eye-opening, head-soothing journey through the dustiest corners of McLewin’s record collection.
