downtempo

Whoa, week 8? Missed a lot in between. Here’s a quick recap of the ones that stick with us: Balmorhea & Machinefabriek exclusive mixes via Fluid Radio. Two from our own Zafer and Cenk Akyol. Turkish episode on the Nahat Radio Show. Mixes from Shlohmo & Nguzunguzu and more.

This week’s surpriser flew into our inbox from the duo Berry Weight. Music for Imaginary Movies is their debut on their own label Hypnophonic Records, and it’s apt in describing the music involved.

The in-house gag about this show was that we were ready to work at the BRT (a fictional state owned radio station from Brasil that resembles our TRT) simply because it never wanders off brasileira & exotica, albeit a few breathers of downtempo jazz from Cecil Taylor and Marc Copland. Play this on sunny afternoons.

A sublime cerebral jazz mix for your Mind, by our collaborator Cenk Akyol. This is a seamless B&W trumpet jazz with some ethnic stylings, feat. Erik Truffaz, Herbie Mann, Brad Mehldau, Chris Botti, Dhaffer Youssef, Nguyen Le. & others.

Three songs today to please the eardrums of the funky and the soulful. Promos off upcoming releases by Domu and Kylie Auldist (The Bamboos) and Kidkanevil collaborator Laura J Martin.

Podcasts and mixes from Tru Thoughts, Diesler, Paul White & Bullion, Radio Scotvoid and Zombie Disco Squad.

I’ve been busy with my MA thesis increasingly for the last months and will be as well till the end of the month, so expect the posts to get more sporadic and shorter. Here’s a few songs from the lovely She had a taste for music compilation which features porngrooves from 70’s Italian low-budget porn movies.

Here we are with #74 and the first thing you’ll notice is that the mix is uploaded to soundcloud. It looks better, plays better and you can leave comments on the timeline! So much gem unearthed by Can mostly this time, Nico Fidenco & Food of the Gods unbelievable stuff. Enjoy and leave feedback if you like it!
