Paris DJs Soundsystem - Pomp & Circumstance

Paris DJs Soundsystem - Pomp and Circumstance
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-12-18

This one is mainly a warm-up mix in black and white (hence the title and artwork), presenting contemporary and international mento, ska, reggae and dub with young blood and legends. Lee Scratch Perry's got the final and mystic word with his under-exposed last release Rise Again (superbly crafted by Bill Laswell, with Steven Bernstein on trumpet and Bernie Worrell on keys), a title which sounds like a symbol of his great renaissance. But it could also fit The Jolly Boys Great Expectation comeback, a band christened by hellraiser Errol Flynn himself while he was living in Jamaica. Both music and hair dressing connoisseurs will understand easily the play on words hidden in the title's mix. For the others well, they can write to Paris DJs and we'll answer…

Bio Ritmo - Salsa Pa’l Mundo

Bio Ritmo - Salsa Pa’l Mundo
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) Electric Cowbell, 2011-12-15

Did you pass on La Verdad, the latest Bio Ritmo album released at the end of the summer on Electric Cowbell Records? If that's the case, then you've missed the Salsa album of the year, no less. The only letdown of this fantastic and frantic record is its length - under 40 minutes - definitively too short, but explainable by the fact that it's also available on a (heavily recommended) vinyl. Rei Alvarez, one of the main forces of the group, prepared for Paris DJs a mix of his old vinyls, the only kind of records he's got... and a he's got a lot of it!. It's a selection of music that has influenced Bio Ritmo, which doesn't include many tracks from the awesome Fania Records catalog, but rather focuses on its shadows, smaller and independent Salsa music that was released during the 70's and 80's. The one-hour long resulting mix is as killer as the album, with lots of very rare stuff, And we're as honored to have Bio Ritmo onboard of the Paris DJs podcast, as they were to be featured in the latest, Latin issue of Wax Poetics! I think I've already said that, but get the album, you don't hear amazing Salsa with psychedelic hints of ethio jazz, afrobeat or dub that often!!

Jan Kohlmeyer - Yuletide DJ Mix

Jan Kohlmeyer - Yuletide DJ Mix for Paris DJs
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-12-07

The Paris DJs German connection runs deep in time. Summer 2007 we were inviting Tobias Kirmayer from funk/jazz/afro new releases and reissues label Tramp Records - his Freestyle party mix is still available and has became one of our classics. When we saw he was releasing a Soul and Funk Chistmas compilation this year we couldn't pass on inviting him for our annual xmas mix. Tobias pointed us towards DJ Jan Kohlmeyer from the wild, hot and sexy funk Disco Fantastique parties in Wuerzburg. During 10 years of Disco Fantastique the legendary Christmas parties have become tradition. Being probably unique in Germany, every December Jan Kohlmeyer played several hours of the club night only and exclusively funk and soul Christmas titles all from 45 or vinyl longplayers. He's the one responsible for the selection on the Santa's Funk and Soul Christmas Party compilation out now on Tramp Records, and of course this companion Yuletide Mix!

Al Kent's 60 Minutes French Kiss

Al Kent's 60 Minutes French Kiss
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-12-04

Al Kent's reputation for re-editing Disco tracks is just massive. The man has been releasing tons of good stuff in the last ten years, on his on Million Dollar Disco label, on Barely Breaking Even (BBE Records - check his Disco Love compilations), or under his own name or as the Million Dollar Orchestra… He's just one of the Disco kings out there today, so when we stumbled upon the details for this upcoming 5-CD boxset release, The Best of Disco Demands - A Collection Of Rare 1970s Dance Music, which looks like an absolute must-have for Disco lovers, we contacted BBE right away and thanks to their PR girl we managed to get in touch with Al Kent who's knocked down this fantastic Disco mix for the Paris DJs listeners who'll have a perfect one hour mixed selection for their end of the year private parties… The boxest itself (also available as two double vinyls LPs) will be released late january 2012, and our in-depth review should be published very soon (we're eagerly waiting for our copy)…

Tracklisting :
01. Dee Dee Sharp - Nobody Could Take your Place (Al Kent edit)
02. Odyssey - Inside Out (Al Kent remix)
03. Deodato - Whistle Bump (Al Kent edit)

Nostalgia 77 - Relics Three

Nostalgia 77 Relics Three
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-11-29

Between his releases under the Nostalgia 77 name (with a fourth album released earlier this year on Tru Thoughts Recordings, The Sleepwalking Society), collaborative projects such as the afro-jazz of Skeletons, the Afro-Latin of The Rhythmagic Orchestra, or the Funk-Rock of The Broken Keys, producing music for Alice Russell, Lizzy Parks, his own UK jazz label Impossible Ark Records… and a plethora of remixes, Benedic Lamdin just seems unstoppable. He's at the forefront of today's Jazz musicians in the UK while always exploring new styles. His latest album is empowered with overtones of blues and folk, while the remixes available with its singles are digging into the shallows of contemporary electronica. We're really proud of having him aboard the Paris DJs podcast with this exclusive 45mn Relics mix of music that be has been recently working on, it's the third in the series so don't hesitate to go hunting for the previous ones.

Loka - The Daily Bread

Loka - The Daily Bread
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) Ninja Tune, 2011-11-15

Loka's discography isn't hard to follow. All of this psychedelic jazz band's records have been released on leading UK label Ninja Tune. It all started with an exclusive, cinematic, trippy track on the label's 10-year anniversary collection Xen Cuts in 2000. Then 4 years later the band released their first single, the marvelous Beginningless, proving once more that Ninja Tune was THE 21st century jazz label at the time. 6 months passed before Loka re-imagined a Blockhead track, Sunday Seance, as a flurry of drums and gorgeous stringiness. Their first album, Fire Shepherds arrives in 2006 and it's just one of the best of the year. In 2007 founding member Karl Webb (formerly from one of our favorite bands, Super Numeri) splits with the group, leaving Mark Kyriacou (keyboards, electronics and compositions) to team up with members of Loka's live band. A new (digital) 3-track single is planned for november 21st, with the band's second album Passing Place to be released the following week. More than 5 years after the first opus, this new recording is another fantastic piece of epic and cinematic UK jazz, which we're celebrating by inviting Loka for this timeless mix, The Daily Bread, cooked exclusively for Paris DJs. A big thanks goes to Ninja Tune's French promo agency, Ping Pong, who hooked us up with Loka for this!! Now let's hope Loka will get to play live in France...

Phish are Molesting Laura - Halloween Special compiled by Mr. Moo
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-10-31

Our first published reviews and analysis of the Phish phenomena on the Internet happened in 1996 - more than 15 years ago today… Many things happened in the musical world since then, but this American rock/jazz band you might never have heard yet is still the best the live scene has to offer, worldwide! There's been some ups and downs in their history, but they're currently touring, rocking, grooving and bending minds as fresh and hard as ever. Forget what you think you know about what music can do to you, just go see this band on stage if you have the chance. Phish are regularly celebrating Halloween with what they call a musical costume, with the band performing an entire album by another artist and including it as the second of three sets. That's how they came to perform The Beatles' White Album, The Who's Quadrophenia, the Talking Heads' Remain in Light, The Velvet Underground's Loaded, Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon or The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street!!

Down By The River Side's first album on the Colored-Inc. label (colored-inc.com) - launched by Djouls and Doctor L - is what some could call a 'jazz' album.

DJ Format & The Simonsound - Paris DJs Mix
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-10-15

"The Simonsound is Simon James and Matt Ford (DJ Format). Sometimes we make music together and sometimes alone and maybe that's a bit confusing but we don't mind as long as people enjoy the music. When we started making music together as The Simonsound we didn't want people to associate it with the music of DJ Format because it is so completely different but eventually we decided to let people know and just judge for themselves. The mix is a selection of Psychedelic/Electric records from around the world collected by Matt and put together by Matt & Simon. DJ Format's new album A Statement Of Intent is due for release in Feb 2012. Reverse Engineering by The Simonsound is available on Vinyl,CD & MP3." (DJ Format)

The Greg Foat Group - Sci-Fi Bugalu Mix

The Greg Foat Group - Sci-Fi Bugalu Mix
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-09-31

In the interview we've just published, British pianist Greg Foat explains he's also DJing in great cities around the world, so we've thought he would be very natural contributor DJ to our great mix series. And indeed he's dug in his fine vinyl collection to cook an exclusive mix he introduces like this:
"The Sci-Fi Bugalu Mix is basically a fun party mix with a touch of sci-fi weirdness. There's a lot of classic soul jazz tracks, a couple of deep funk and crossover tracks, a bit of westcoast and some British library! It's pretty much all uptempo dancers, it's a kind of nostalgic mix to remind me of when I used to DJ out this on vinyl and dance like mad in the late 90's! I also have a lot of fond memories hunting down these records in junk shops, thrift stores, charity shops and record stores".

Medline - Al Ritmo Del Bump Bump

Medline - Al Ritmo Del Bump Bump
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-09-17

The latin hit Al Ritmo Del Bump Bump is originally inspired by the Soulful Strut instrumental from Young-Holt Unlimited. It was recently getting attention again with the Otto De Rojas Y Los Ultra 76's reissue on the Deja Vu label. In the mix you will hear another cover from Luciano Luciani. French beatmaker Medline has found more versions by others Peruvian bands from the same period, on which Soulful Strut evolves into a totally new dancing style thru the hand of those latin artists. It was for Medline a good pretext to give freshness to his favorite theme making his own version too. The mix was already available on Mixcloud for a few weeks, and this is the fully remastered version by Grant Phabao.

Anthony Joseph - The Rubber Orchestras Paris DJs Mix Part 1

Anthony Joseph - The Rubber Orchestras Paris DJs Mix Part 1: From the Plantation to the Revolution
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) Heavenly Sweetness, 2011-09-10

A selection of sounds from Anthony Joseph to accompany the release of his third album with the Spasm Band, Rubbers Orchestras. 'Featuring some vintage soca, calypso, steelpan, psychedelic funk, and voodoo jazz; some surprises, some real rarities, some classics, some discoveries', says the British poet, novelist, musician and lecturer born in Trinidad. We had already invited Anthony Joseph for a guest mix on Paris DJs in december 2008, to announce his previous album Bird Head Son. The new one is even more amazing, this time produced by Malcom Catto, who doesn't need any better introduction than the psychedelic funk mix focusing on his works, which we published three years ago already. This new album is out september 12th, and Anthony Joseph will be playing at the New Morning in Paris on september 15th. Tip!

DJ Center - Center Bumps - Paris DJs Special (All Vinyl Mix)
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) Push The Fader, 2011-09-06

DJ Center comes from the now heavy Paris DJs Brooklyn connection. I had discovered him through his former band, Open Thought, way back in 2003... It was a 12 inch called Force of Life, which never left my bag since then. Always a pleasure to play and definitively a killer track. You will find some more very cool stuff in DJ Center's first album, a mostly hip hop global thing called Everything In Time, released on CD in 2010 and on glorious vinyl earlier this year (surely some more coolness will also appear in the upcoming Everything In Time Remixed album). We are definitely humbled and excited to offer DJ Center an opportunity to share his experience in spreading good music made with a lot of love. As the song goes, groove is in the heart.

Paris DJs Soundsystem - This is Kiwi Music - Pacific Sounds from New Zealand

Paris DJs Soundsystem - This is Kiwi Music - Pacific Sounds from New Zealand
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-09-03

The world stares at New Zealand as the Rugby World Cup begins on September 9th. The All Blacks try again to win a trophy they miss since the first edition of the Cup in 1987. But Aotearoa ('The Long White Cloud', New Zealand in Māori) is not only a great country for rugby, it's also a great country for music, especially its first-class electronica-reggae-dub scene located in Wellington (Trinity Roots, Fat Freddy's Drop, The Yoots, Benny Tones, The Black Seeds...). Funny-and-folk duo Flight Of The Conchords is famous worldwide with its HBO series, while the NZ diaspora is represented by young psychedelic-pop Connan Mockasin and The Bamboos' producer and guitarist Lance Ferguson (Lanu). Lanu's grandfather (Bill Wolfgramm, an hawaiian-style guitarist) became the first NZ musician to release a vinyl-format album in New Zealand in the 50's. Here is a fine selection that captures the essence of the smooth, inspired, original and peaceful kiwi music.

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Steven Bernstein - A Trumpet's Life pt.1

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Steven Bernstein - A Trumpet's Life pt.1
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-08-31

I distinctly remember discovering Steven Bernstein's incredible trumpet playing and arranging through one of his bands, Sex Mob and their album Din of Inequity, which included some John Medeski featurings and hard-to-believe covers of Prince, John Barry, Paul McCartney and a few others. It was the end of the 90s and France was as lost musically as it is today, with musical ignorance reigning supreme. Things have been slowly evolving thanks to independent medias such as Paris DJs (and djouls.com before) who always had the will to defend incredible artists you've quite never heard of. So here's the first part of our introduction to this amazing musican and arranger, a 40mn eclectic jazz mix, out there and for everyone at the same time... We've also published an interview (in english or french); we can't urge you enough not to miss the Sly Stone tribute show in Paris on sept 11, opening for Medeski, Martin and Wood; we'll publish the second part of this mix in a month, right on spot for the release of the new album MTO plays Sly; and Steven Bernstein should back later this year for a third mix cooked by the man himself - how's that for an introduction?

Tracklisting :
01. 00:00 Medeski Martin and Wood - Where's Sly?
(from 'It's a Jungle In Here' album, 1993 / Gramavision)
02. 04:54 Steven Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra - Family Affair (feat. Antony Hegarty)
(from 'MTO Plays SLY' album, 2011 / Royal Potato Family)
03. 09:41 Sex Mob - It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)

06. 22:36 Steven Bernstein - Mazinka

07. 26:53 Sex Mob - Kitchen

Mike Rivard (Club d'Elf) - The Trance Mix

Mike Rivard (Club d'Elf) - The Trance Mix
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-08-21

"The crux of Moroccan music is trance. Trance as a quality in music has always attracted me, whether it's an extended James Brown cut, or something by Fela or Steve Reich. I've always sought out music that allows you to forget where and who you are and to break free from the mind's constant chatter", bassist and Club d'Elf founder Mike Rivard said once. Club d'Elf has just released a new and stunning double-album, Electric Moroccoland/So Below (Face Pelt), where jazz, freeform improvisation, rock psychedelia, glitchy turntablism and North African trance melt in one single cauldron. This unexpected Trance Mix brings together the band's friends and musicians and its main influences. Besides, we publish a nice interview of Mike to go along with the mix and a short portrait. Pack and be prepared to reach mystical unknown soundscapes!

Le Mellotron - From Jazz To Hip Hop

Le Mellotron - From Jazz To Hip Hop
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-08-16

It's not news and even less an insult to say that hip-hop drew from the jazz catalog to build its empire. Le Mellotron picks in the hidden side of its Original Samples to deliver to their friends of Paris DJs a mix made up essentially of jazz tracks, dust-cleaned by the hip-hop movement, and quite often magnificiently emphasized. Will you be able to find which fantastic diggers went on a quest for the perfect sample that led them to the tracks played in this mix? We're letting you wonder… Answers will be published early september.

Ce n'est pas une nouvelle et encore moins une insulte lorsque l'on dit que le hip-hop a puise dans le repertoire du jazz pour fonder son empire. Le Mellotron pioche dans la face cachee de ses Original Samples pour livrer a ses amis de Paris DJs un mix compose essentiellement de titres jazz dépoussieres par le mouvement hip-hop et souvent magnifiquement mis en valeur. Saurez-vous retrouver ces diggers hors pairs partis a la recherche du sample parfait? On vous laisse mijoter… Reponse debut septembre.

After a first introductory mix, DJ Kanadakaosz, who's also a member of the DJ/digger team specialized in hungarian records Budapest BrakeCsokkerz, is back with this amazing mix of vintage Hungarian Psybeat from the 60s and the 70s, and I'm quite certain you've never heard this before!!

The Natural Yogurt Band - The Natural Yogurt Mix

The Natural Yogurt Band - The Natural Yogurt Mix
(MP3 Podcast on ParisDJs.com and MusiquesImpures.com) 2011-05-12

In 2008 Jazzman records released Away with Melancholy, a fantastic first record from a mysterious band called The Natural Yogurt Band. Actually the band was a Nottingham (UK) duo formed by Wayne Fullwood (drums, bass) and Miles Newbold (keyboards, flute, vibes and other unusual instruments). This indescribable and cult album sounded like a jamband, psychedelic movie soundtracks and acid jazz simultaneously. Three years later The Natural Yogurt Band is back with Tuck In With... (Now-Again), an outstanding follow-up to their first record. Miles Newbold selected a few tracks for this mix in his vinyl collection, from soulful jazzy flute to rare forgotten masters' tunes. He was kind enough to add some unreleased tracks from his other project called The Sign of Four and Audio Optics. The whole thing is groovy, fun and weird as The Natural Yogurt Band itself, and Nicolas from the Musiques Impures blog has published an exclusive interview of the band to go along with this mix...

Floating Points - Future Soul from Sun Ra to Madlib

Floating Points - Future Soul from Sun Ra to Madlib
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-01-24

Sam Shepherd aka Floating Points has been shaking the electronic music world for two years now, through a string of releases on his own label Eglo as well as Planet Mu and R2, and remixes for the likes of Shawn Lee, Sébastien Tellier, Bonobo, Basement Jaxx or Four Tet... His smooth, dusty, soulful House sound, his techno-disco-boogie bubblism are rather Detroit-flavoured, while his samples are craftily cut into heavy bumping crunch-beats, paying respect to the lineage from Sun Ra to Madlib and onwards. He's still a twentysomething, but has already stepped out of the DJ action, recording and mixing his full Floating Points Ensemble 16-piece group at the legendary Abbey Road Studios for the Ninja Tune XX twentieth anniversary celebration. This is future soul at the edge of modern British music!

Tracklisting :
01. Bei and Shawn Lee - Make Me Stronger (feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow) (Floating Points Remix)
(from 'Beauty and The Beats' 10 inch, 2009 / Ubiquity)
02. Floating Points Ensemble - Post Suite
(from 'Post Suite' 10 inch, 2011 / Ninja Tune)
03. Floating Points - For You
(from 'For You' 7 inch, 2009 / Eglo)
04. Floating Points - Love Me Like This (Nonsense Dub)
(from 'Love Me Like This' 12 inch, 2009 / R2)
05. Floating Points - People's Potential
(from 'People's Potential' single, 2010 / Eglo)
06. Floating Points - Esthian III

Grant Phabao & Djouls - Are Molesting Laura Vol.3 (2005 reissue)

Grant Phabao and Djouls - Are Molesting Laura Vol.3
(MP3 Podcast) T.I.M.E.C. TIMEC085, 2005-10-07

A covers and bootlegs special, mashed-up by the famous insane lazy ones of the Telegraphe station (Paris 20th), in the shape of a rarities and improbable covers jam. Includes a bootie made especially for the occasion by the mild lunatics duet, with a Mel Brooks pie dough (It' s Good To Be The King), apples slices imported from Grandmaster Flash's (The Message), and some Beastie Boys caramel wrappings. The Quantic Soul Orchestra is also characterized by its surrealist covers: a take on the Red Astaire bootleg which had mixed an acapella of D'Angelo with an instrumental from Cal Tjader (Follow Me), and a raw replay of Mr Scruff who had completely pumped Moondog (Get A Move On, actually Bird' s Lament).
