words:
intense...heavy...real.
120 minutes full of tension out of the soulsearching studio ffm
and emanative's spiritual drum chamber.
this is a special show - sometimes you do feel it a bit more.
2011 has been a strong year full of musical discoveries.
be it in jazz, crossover electronic goes band stuff and also very good pop music
came along. all artists, keep on delivering - and we'll keep spreading then.
and just when you think all is being delivered another strong album arrives - real hip hop
by the roots. go and get the album, this is one for rap and hip hop history.
also check for more bass heavy remix action by new mysterious producer team close.
massive remix for scuba this time, little dragon next time. and song of the year?
lana del rey is definately up there, about time to give you the strong joy orbison remix.
plus a very beautiful winter flower which grew already in summer this year and a stunning remix
by burnt friedman, doin the shangaan shake. kickin off with another project:mooncircle gem btw . . .
this label is getting better and better. and finishing my little warm up set for the spiritual drums session
with a great piano player from armenia. highly recommended album !
this is not a 2011 rewind though. just another spontaneous soulsearching excursion.
and what can i say about the mix this week - the heavy hitters on the jazz drums,
from max roach to tony allen and roy haynes plus chester thompson and of course
steve reid. all in, 61 minutes of pure energy. listen very loud. big thanks to the man,
nick woodmansey aka emanative for this journey to the spiritual drums.
getting ready for 2012 with so much inspiration floatin in.
. . . soon back on the decks then. it's been a while . . .
next week:
the annual christmas special with rainer trueby and yours truly.
love is everywhere.
enjoy the music.

words:
. . . fully into this foggy & sunny autumn november mood, music to make you feel warm and comfortable, and you can dance if you want to . . . loads of new stuff floating around, brilliant remixes by Theo Parrish for Far Out and Alex Barck with his excellent work for Little Dragon plus the new heavy version of the Steve Reid (R.I.P.) signature tune by emanative and soulful electronics with Lee Burton out of Greece. fLako slowly becoming a regular on this program, he is one of the most talented producers around right now, a sweet little song by Dillon out of Berlin, a very young upcoming producer out of the UK, who has learned his Theo P lessons very very well, Gerry Read, rounding things off wih a brandnew Blundetto version of a classic and a bit of left of center HipHop plus replay for one of THE tunes of 2011: 1960 What?
Then into a different flavour, Blues and Rythm & Blues is the word with Marcel Vogels Blue Tape.
Here's a little note in his own words:
"Just a quick note regarding this mix. I was on my way to a festival this summer and at the train
station I bought a Best of Fleetwood Mac CD. At some point on the transfer bus I encountered
Worried Dreams which probably is the most intense song I ve ever heard. You know you could
say my father died brokenhearted but lived the Blues before he died and I miss him sometimes
and the Blues brings him a little bit closer again. This is for him." Marcel Vogel, November 2011.
Thanks a lot Marcel for yet another brilliant and different flavoured outstanding mixtape!
enjoy the music.
