back from the beach, worldwide festival 2011 in sète has been great, a little rewind in this weeks show wih rainer trueby on the mic as well, thanks to gilles p and all organizers of what has to be one the best festivals in the world. shouts to everyone i met down there in the sunshine, you know who you are ! see you again next year! space mobile travels 2012.
and another r.i.p. tribute mix had to be done, i said it before - i am not really lookin forward to doing these selections because that always means that a great artist has left the earth - fonce mizell died july 5th in california and left us with some of the most positive vibes in jazz and soul music. together with his brother larry mizell he brought the soul to jazzmusic and created a very own sound which has been highly influential ever since to many of the musicians played on this show week by week. the mizell trademark sound and productions added this special flavour to the outstanding music by the likes of donald byrd, rance allen group, bobbi humphrey, l.t.d. and of course johnny hammond to name but a few, who had the chance to work with with fonce mizell and get that magic touch within their albums. here is a little selection of tunes that i love and which always bring a smile to my face and ears. thanks a lot for this, mr. mizell and your music and visions were made for heaven anyway . . . goodbye and rest in peace.
enjoy the music.

words:
had such a nice week . . . GP doin the Havana Cultura thing in Frankfurt, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 killer live show (words & music special soon come) and probably the best gig i have seen so far by Fat Freddys Drop here in the wonderful Capitol venue. Music, band, audience melting into one from the first note of Midnight Marauders to Wandering Eye singin along . . . outstanding magical vibes. Will be seeing them again in Brussels Ancienne Theatre on Tuesday 5th July after a long weekend break with the family. Go and get your tickets!
All very inspiring as the music does not stop comin in from all over the place, new names on the scene like Indigo Music (thanks Nailah for the post) and Tanya Auclair out of London, more well known guys like Rainer Trueby and Danilo Plessow with a deep jam, SBTRKTs album gettin better with each listen, Quantic delivering a killer remix and dub for Owiney Sigoma, afrojazz by Les Freres Smith out of Paris, plus heavy intense jazz moments by Matthew Halsall, Mongo Santamaria and Pharaoh Sanders firing quartet version of his classic and timeless tune... phew.....!
plus an extraspecial by the Chris & Si, better known now as Deep Space Orchestra, enjoiyng the deepness of their music and mix, so you better check out their tunes ! Thanks a lot for this selection, brilliant new EP out via their Use Of Weapons label...
enjoy the music.

words:
the boys are back in europe. the boys are back in town. radio. on the bus , on the road . on stage.
talking about Fat Freddys Drop Road To Europe Tour 2011!
jamming like no others, providing us with the all over good vibes straight out of Wellington, Aotearoa.
about time for the return of the road trip edition, remember last years words & music special?
this time i have asked dr. boondiiga & the big b.w. if the fat freddys can do something special directly from their nightliner ride through the uk, netherlands & portugal before the touch down here in germany to play frankfurt, munich and berlin. and yes, they did. or better: the one and only MC Slave did it, getting members of the crew on the mic to select a few tunes for soulsearching. the mobile ffd recording studio in action for over 60 minutes full of mostly unheard pieces and some exclusives out of the travel cases. a warm welcome back in frankfurt and on the soulsearching airwaves, ladies and gentleman, this sound is original, this is the drop ! thanks and shouts to Mark MC Slave and the crew for doin this !
warming up before their selection with a few back in time moments, riding the musical waves again as i 've been digging through tons of records at fleamarkets in amsterdam a few weeks back plus a brandnew tune by Recloose,
Matt Chicoine, who was the one responsible startin the buzz almost over 10 years ago by bringin over a handful 12inches of "midnight marauders" original pressing to daniel best who gave me my copy . . . the rest is history.
so i am looking very much forward to hangin out with the new zealand crew again this monday here in frankfurt/offenbach before playing a warm up set until FFD will hit the stage. 27th that is. more info: www.fatfreddysdrop.com and check out the tv channel also....
enjoy the music.
