Mr. Moo presents Mushroom pt.1
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2011-09-24

We've been featuring Mushroom in our annual best of' albums selections so many times that bandleader Pat Thomas started coming back to us about doing the interview we had offered to do years ago already. The band keeps on releasing mind-blowing records year after year so we asked our psychedelic music expert Mr. Moo to take care of what ended as an Herculanean work…. You can read the interview here. To go along with with this in-depth discussion, Mr. Moo has prepared two 45mn mixes focusing on Mushroom's music, with the help of Pat Thomas himself who brought in a few exclusive tracks. Here's the first part, well publish the second one next month, with a companion review of Mushroom's latest strictly limited album (100 copies only!). Enjoy the trip!

Lexus Blondin Y Sus Afrocubanos present Afro Cubik

Lexus Blondin Afro Cubik

For his first appearance on the website, London-based French producer & compiler Lexus Blondin has put together an eclectic, yet very selected mix of Afro cuban jazz. This mix will have you travel back and forth from a pre-revolutionary Havana to a post war New York, a time when record producers were not afraid to think large. Their recipe for a different shade of Bebop? Reptilian brass sections, subtle arrangements written by monuments like Lalo Schiffrin or Chico O' Farril, coupled with the musicianship of talented soloists such as James Moody, Art Blakey, Machito or Cal Tjader. The result was a percussion heavy form of music with which jazz chords and improvisation found a new structure to play around. Four to the floor double bass, swirling trumpet solos, Hard Bop piano chords makes it a delight for Jazz dancers and sample seekers. Beware, this mix is highly explosive, handle with care!

Paris DJs Soundsystem presents Aloe Blacc

In 2010, Egbert Nathaniel Dawkins III, also known as Aloe Blacc, released his second album, Good Things, on Stones Throw records.

It's also the year that the American soul singer, rapper and musician exploded worldwide with I Need A Dollar, the opening title track on the HBO series, How To Make It In America. Aloe Blacc's career had started at the end of the 90s, with Emanon, a hip hop duo with producer Exile, and features countless appearances and collaborations. Paris DJs honcho Djouls tried to scan the whole spectrum of his career for this selection (months in the making), presented here in collaboration with Stones Throw Records (thanks Alex!).
