Magical Haircuts by the Moon | LA
I’ll be playing tunes while peeps get witchy haircuts by the Moon! ..Evidently, it’s auspicious in France to cut the hair on a full moon. Luxe Salon in Silverlake, LA is having a get-together. Feb 4th. Microtrims, cocktails, music, tarot. Sounds fun. I’m in.
Soultronica Vol.2 for Parlour Magazine +Interview
Check out Eko’s interview with Parlour Magazine
Parlour Magazine hit me up for Soultronica Volume 2 and an interview after the release of Vol.1 with Okayplayer. Folks know I release less than a handful of mixes a year. However, when I was making the first one, I knew it would be a series. I’ve been gathering music at this intersection of soul+sexy+electronic music for a long time. I had plenty of music that didn’t make it in the first volume and some new cuts that just got released right after Vol.1.
I really like how this series a mixture of brand new sounds (Miguel, Azealia, Sweater Beats, Idle Warship, Bamboos) complimented by forgotten, or possibly missed tracks. Like who knew that SBTRKT produced under Aaron Jerome first and did a remix of Little Dragon? I was reminded to include some tracks like that when I played the remix of “Hold On” by Dwele here in NY recently, and a bunch of folks ran up asking me about Kanye’s verse that they had never heard (which is one of my favorites, thematically built around names of magazines). Vol. 2 moves from slow-burner to mid-pace. I had to sneak in some of my favorite moombahsoul jems at the end. Note: careful with the volume at work. Mar’s amazing cover/variation of Lil’ Waynes’ “Single” is completely un-edited 🙂

The Paleta party at Bembe NYC
The Paleta party at Bembe has been such good mojo. Collaborating with CumbaMela, DJ Panamami, Wonway, Chief Boima & Geko Jones has been too fun.  To celebrate, I’m posting the tropical radio show I did on EVR this summer around the Latin Alternative Music Conference. Lots of people aren’t familiar with my tropical-latin-digitaldancehall-african steeze. So here’s a little sample for ya.  You will find a jumble of Afro+latin music with a progressive, electronic flair. Enjoy it before the glorious summer days are done.

NICACELLY – LIVING IN THE LIGHT VOL.5
| ::promotional only:: Nicacelly asked me to put together the newest mix for her Summer ’09 line. I do some crazy mixes but this, by far is the most eclectic + global concoction to date. By listening to it, you can observe my crazy synapses link downtempo to dilla, funk to brazilian, thai to salsa, dubtronic science to hip hop, rock to reggae, dancehall to marvin gaye and outkast to dubstep. I’m tickled with the outcome. It’s entertaining in a very different.. more subtle way than the Spring, Electro Yum mix that just hits like BLAM! I’m also very flattered to follow in the steps of dj Platurn and M-rock on this Living in The Light series. :::www.nicolemarkoff.com::: |
