December '17 Mix

"The Mystery of Love is greater than the Mystery of Death" - Oscar Wilde. Here is the long awaited December mix. It's very 1983, some early house and heavily influenced by the soundtrack  from the movie Call Me By Your Name.
Enjoy!

Holidays are a coming

The holidays are almost here and this weekend I treated myself to the cinema. It's been quite some time I have ventured into the large screen. I went to see Call Me By Your Name. A beautiful coming of age love story set in north Italy during 1983. The movie unfolds beautiful and then grabs you by the balls towards the end and the soundtrack is just as gorgeous as the movie with songs from Sufjan Stevens, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Psychedelic Furs,  Giorgio Moroder and many more. But the one that was most appropriate was Bandolero's "Paris Latino".  A sweet Italo Disco dance classic. Here is an extended remix fresh out of the disco oven.  Please go see this amazing cinematic masterpiece by Italian director Luca Guadagnino and listen to the soundtrack. Enjoy!

Paying homage to the great Arthur Russell

Recently released, this amazing compilation celebrating the legacy and work of one of the greats of dance, experimental, classical and folk, Arthur Russell delivered by the Red Hot Organization, a not for profit international organization dedicated to fighting AIDS through pop culture. This offering titled Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell is a very nice hefty catalogue consisting of 26 well crafted re-interpretations, interludes and covers ranging from Hot Chip, Robyn, Sufjan Stevens, Scissor Sisters and Davendra Banhart to name a few showcasing the genius, depth and prolific nature of his music which is still clearly showing some rippling effects in today's music. Standouts are Jose Gonzale's interpretation of "This is How We Walk The Moon" and Blood Orange's seamless mash-up of "It's All Over Your Face and Tower Of Meaning".  Honorable mention goes to Hot Chip's cover of  dance classic"Go Bang" which manages to capture the fun and weirdness of the original. There are a few near misses but for the most part is well edited with some interesting takes making this a must have for fans of Arthur Russell.  Enjoy!
