HEAVY SOUL prt 1 Paul Weller 1991>97

been fiending for a bit of Weller whilst on my travels recently. Wanted to do a full solo career mix (that would fit on one cd), that was impossible. Then decided on 91>97, covering the first foor solo albums Paul Weller, Wild Wood, Stanley Road and Heavy Soul, with b-sides, remixes and some live stuff thrown in two. Again that was a nigh on impossible task, so this is part one with part two to follow

To Love. Ahu

you NEED this

<a href="http://ahumusic.bandcamp.com/album/to-love">To: Love. by Ahu</a>

Long tipped as a vocalist to watch, Ahu steps softly from the shadows of her lauded guest appearances to deliver To:Love.

It’s a captivating performance from the Turkish singer whose unique style might be found somewhere between traditional soul and the studied remove of the likes of Broadcast’s Trish Keenan. If there’s poignancy in her delivery, there is hope in the lyrics: it’s a song about the calm and freedom felt by lovers after they split. Her long-time friend and musical ally Paul White provides the subtle, ever-shifting backdrop, a nuanced electronic counterpoint to the more organic psychedelia of his recent …and the Purple Brain LP.

Things take a dramatic turn on the b-side as Dimlite focuses on the tumult that precedes the post-break up relief, letting harpsichord fly into ravaged drum breaks and squalling synths before slamming the door for the very last time. It’s undeniably odd, utterly fascinating, and further evidence that this Swiss wunderkind is a very special talent.

Ahu is a genuine polymath who plays a dazzling number of roles in her native Istanbul: she’s variously known as a DJ, radio presenter, TV scriptwriter and yoga instructor. Yet she lives and breaths to sing, and it’s her remarkable tone and songwriting skills that have won her international acclaim. She’s a student of singers and songs who appreciates Duke Ellington and Clifford Brown as she does Serge Gainsbourg, who looks to Matthew Herbert for inspiration and who understands that it’s the feeling that matters, not the form.

coming to a podcast near you soon...

the legendary

I'm going to kick off with my most recent mix, Mr Beatnick Knows All The Bitches




Mr Beatnick began his foray into beat culture at age 16, armed only with an Amiga 500 and a cassette tape of Run DMC. 20 years later, he’s now in the midst of a renaissance in experimental instrumental hiphop, spearheaded by peers like Paul White and Bullion.

He’s best known for his work with spiritual mentor ahu, his remixes of Marvin Gaye, Azymuth, and Diamond D, and his website www.shhhhh.co.uk. His new material is slated to come out on the Don’t Be Afraid label run by Semtek.

recently Mr B very graciously shared 30 of his tracks with us in the free download Loose Joints 2000-2010, grab that here
