easy listening

#75 was mostly dug by Can with me contributing my mixing (more like ableton live) skills. That’s why his dandy style noticably takes over, as this is one fine 1 hour mix, for which you are obliged to be in your bathrobes or robe de chambres, comfortably sipping some brandy. This mix goes through easy listening, jazz, exotica and vintage surf, it definitely feels retro but not kitsch (i hope).

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!

After two weeks of absence, we’re back with #73 of our shows, once again done in partnership with Can Ayverdi. There’s an abundance of soulful and jazzy beats, a bit of psych folk at the beginning and some easy tempo and brasiliera at the end. Playlist inside! Have a nice week!

Let’s start the week with this weekend’s show, we’re not going to deny that we’re proud of this one and we’ll be continuing this direction with our shows for the time being. We’ve got tracks from 70’s OST’s, Easy Tempo, soulful beats & hiphop, electronica and more mixed seamlessly. Come inside for the tracklist.

Although #70 was broadcast a few weeks ago, a case of synchronicity made it available on the blog just in time for Valentine’s Day. Starting off with exotica mastermind Martin Denny and delving into bossa nova and easy listening from João Donato & Horst Jankowski et al to funky stuff via Roy Ayers, The Bamboos and Bobby Womack, this show is tailor made for the Valentine’s brunch.

#69 starts with a solemn piece from the German doomjazzers Bohren und der Club of Gore then goes right into some easy tempo and nujazz, followed by dub from Burning Spear, hip-hop & some cosmic non-Fela afrobeat from Hector Malcoun and Peruvian chicha by Juaneco.

#67 is the start of a 2 show series we’ve done with Can Ayverdi of cleansweep fame, in which we tried to cultivate this easygoing easy tempo sound. The second part starting from Bruno Nicolai is where we delve into deep Brasilian samba, 70’s Italian easy tempo, soundtracks, flavoured with world music from Africa and South America.
