Jazz is one of my favourite musical genres but I don’t post a lot about it on here. Jazz has such a long history and such a large amount of writing has been done on it, it feels a bit intimidating for me to talk about it. No such qualms about playing it though, and a few weeks ago I finally took advantage of the recording setup at my new home to pull out some of my favourites for a mix which has been up on my soundcloud and now here.

Wednesday Jazz by Bn1

As you’ll hear, my taste in Jazz is reasonably broad and generally stays on the more melodic, structured side of things. This mix actually starts off with some ghana funk and instrumental hiphop before things finally hit the Jazz side about 30 minutes in, with ‘Oregon’ a b-side from Cinematic Orchestra which has always been a favourite of mine. Further absolute favourites from David Axelrod, Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, and Donald Byrd follow. The final section heads off to south america, with some samba and bossa nova. Tito Puente who I’m a big fan of features, as well as Brazilian weirdos Os Mutantes. Lonnie Liston Smith finishes up with a Jazz funk message of peace.

Hopefully I’ll delve back into my collection again, possibly with some dub and reggae next time.

A lot can be said for MP3′s.

They’re free! Easy and instant to obtain.

But there’s one thing that has to be said for vinyl. That is, it’s the most sociable way to play and listen to music with a bunch of mates.

On Sunday 12 September, Bob, Scott and myself sat around skyped Benny, drank beer and played records! Possibly unbeknown to the other two i was recording the set and here’s the result. It’s actually only Bob playing (the MD only recorded the first 80 minutes) but I hope Bob’s going to be happy to have these records digitilised for his ipod, and we get them too!!

In true fashion, there’s a few gaps between records where Bob rushed to chuck on the next record. Enjoy, we did.

This is a mix I did for the biggie.co.nz House Forum Mix-Off.

The guidelines for the creation of the mix were:

Mixes are limited to 45 minutes each like half a T90 tape. If you go over, listeners will encouraged to stop listening at the 45 minute mark to turn the tape over.

Mixes can be made in any way you see fit on any medium.

House is a feeling, so stray where you will genre-wise but beware that by venturing into particularly niche territory you may give the game away.

Released by: house forum
Mix By: ????
Release/catalogue number: BHF002
Release date: Oct 8, 2009

A lot can change in 2 years!  At the start of 2007, I was living in an old house near a vaguely dodgy part of Auckland’s CBD.  The BMP was an as yet unacquainted and unincorporated group of disparate figures who had not yet discovered a mutual enjoyment for the triplicate vices of Beer, MUSIC, and Pizza.  My friend Mike, (aka Mick ‘the kid’) was living in Mt Albert near what I personally consider one of Auckland’s best cafes, so most weekends would see me grabbing a pile of records and heading out to his flat to piss about mixing records (usually two for two), drinking beer and eating pizza (notice a pattern?).

Pop’n'tuck emerged from around that time and is one of the rare occasions where one (or both) of us didn’t fuck up the mix too badly.  We were both happy with the mix and it garnered some pretty positive comments so we’ve brought it back to give it a good home as a stinkfinger podcast.

The tracks themselves are kinda reflective of the times, with nothing that has dated too badly (yet) in my opinion, and a nice mix of minimal with housier influenced tracks.  Mick kicks the mix off smoothly with ‘Born Again’ hitting into some Jazzanova touched percussion.  The euro influence continues with some early Mountain People and Matthias Kaden works, followed by a triple hit of fairly minimal business from Guido Schneider, M.I.A, and Alejandro Vivanco.  Milton Jackson leads into possibly my favourite track on the mix, Jennifer Cardini and Shonky’s heavy and deep ‘lies’.  Things take a housier turn, and I don’t apologise for the inclusion of Dj Fame’s ‘Name it X’, it is a fun track!   Mick keeps it funky with Dj Sneak and Jesse Rose tracks, before Basic Channel’s ur-minimal classic ‘phylyps track II’ rounds things out.

Time passed by, the BMP formed, stink-finger was created, Mick now lives in London, and I moved to Japan, but I think this mix is still a good reflection of where our musical attitudes continue to lie – house and techno. 
Enjoy.

Yeah yeah, it’s extremely delayed, but i figured what better way to formally introduce myself on this site than with a mix…let the music do the talking.

So with that (and for all those who can be bothered), I present to you: Dua Yabaki – a tribute to our beloved house music in all its awesome forms, influenced heavily by the sights and sounds I experienced in New York one year ago. But that’s another story.
