Here's another one for my dwindling mixcloud aufdience: a mixtape of sorts, with fresh releases from this summer and fall including titles by Yasmine Hamdan, Sven Wunder, Rico Rodriguez, Ami Taf Ra, Mark Stewart, Adrian Quesada, DJ Haram, The Dwarfs of East Agouza, Itai Anker .... and if you made it this far: the latest release on Edelfaul. It starts easy and gets heavier and more abstract towards the end.

Here's me with another car roughly my age, and a selection of contemporary songs that caught my attention over the last few weeks. All songs are new releases, with a few re-issues here and there, and not much mixery because that wasn't the point.

With another discodelic gig at the horizon, here's a 2 1/2 h mix dedicated to some 70 +80s dance crazes I missed due to late birth. It is starting out dubbingly and gets quicker and glitzier by the minute. Catch that memory lane vibe also coming Saturday at LUX

Discowise, i am late to the party, maybe because when I started DJing around dub, hip hop and jungle, disco was a part of a cultural past I desperately tried to leave behind. Only years later, after a detour via latin american and west african funk and disco, and guided by two great books by Tim Law...

An off-season easter egg by DJs FLEXno, Amuleto Manuela and yours truly, now up on mixcloud.

We recorded this one on very early Easter Sunday at the Lord Inn, following a great afrodelic live act (whose name escaped me) and catering to a packed house. Flex was hosting but, due to other party obligations, had to leave early, so he did the opening set, of which, due to technical f**kuppery, o...

Another Freak & Friends situation here, starting caribbean and going more latinamericanic and afrodelic as we progress.

In May, Amuleto Manuela, FLEXno and the Freak gathered around the turntables of Crack Bellmer to test the newly installed wall of sound. The acoustics was indeed great, but the weather and the nightlife deities weren't on our side, so all we gained was a nice sunday session among friends ... and thi...

My little sunrise set from last fusion is now up there, thanks to all who made it such a smooth ride - Guvi + the droogs, Manu + Kevin, Antonio, Lvcha + Rafa, Neuland crew + booking

I took over Neuand floor at 4AM from highly shamanistic Electrokraut-ensemble QWQWI who gave an excellent prelude, and by the time the sun came up, there was a lovely little crowd staying around for some of my favourite records.

to help you get thru the heatwave here is a new XL mix from wax, this time full to the brim with caribbean and UK calypso, reggae, dub, soul and sound system culture

Inspired by Episode 2 of (the British) Steve McQueen's TV Show "Small Axe" this set follows caribbean currents n British dance music, starting with Trinidadian calypso, moving on to UK and Jamaican songs you might have heard on a blues dance as lovingly portrayed in the "Lovers Rock" episode. In the...
