RIP Joao Gilberto



RIP one of Brazil's greatest. Joao Gilberto, a musical genius who invented Bossa Nova which fuzzed Brazilian samba and jazz together creating timeless magic! I grew up listening to this music on my parent's turntable. Music that brings me home.  Long live Mr. Gilberto and thank you for the beautiful sounds you gifted us!

Independence


Happy Day of Independence!  Although we celebrate the birth of USA and independence from British rule. I'm a bit conflicted nowadays as to what we are celebrating when in fact this is not really our land. It belongs to Native Tribes.  

Anyhow, it has been quite a whirlwind with family visiting, work and celebrating Gay Pride. Which btw, I actually went to the Queer Liberation March and Rally which was quite transformative and poignant fit for the times we live. It was Anti-corporate, no barricades and very little policed presence allowed us freethinkers and non conformist to return to the roots of what Pride is supposed to be. A protest and fight for the right to exist and thrive no matter if you are a trans, sex worker, immigrant and disabled. And that's all I'm going to say.  Here is my dear friend Machine Dazzle marching!


Here is the latest remix inspired by some Norwegian House by Diskobeistet from their release of "Birkelunden" which has some pretty amazing feel good breaks fit perfectly for looping. I added some NYC Peech Boys on vocals from "Love Heartache". Enjoy
