Soweto Soul Music

I've been getting some requests for pics and clips lately so I decided to post this one here. Nzimande Soweto Soul Music by The Inne Lawes. Recorded and released 1969 in South Africa by CBS. Since the day I found this copy about 12 years ago I have never seen one again. Not in real life and no google alert... hen's teeth!
I must admit that I have never heard anything like this south african version of instrumental soul before and after. Influences of Booker T, Mar Kays and Meters are evident, but they're managing to make it pretty unique... and that guy on the organ really gives it a psychedelic touch in most of the tunes!

check it out here and don't dare to nag about the low bitrate. 
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush...

Cheers, Basso

Booty Carrell - Psycholambada

it's been a while...
but now Booty is here to save us with a bag of psychoactive bangers from Romania! Expect excting Protomanele oddities next to turkish folk tales and a chinese love song - gently served by this connaisseur extraordinaire and Hamburg's most amiable DJ. If you missed the "B-Music" boy's previous mixes for Finders Keepers, The Attic or Pingipung, listen to these later. First grab your skirt and dance the lambada with us. And make sure to book your flight to Hamburg for this saturday to dance the Psycholambada!!
cheers, Basso

I totally forgot to post the news about this record when it finally came out in may.

"Don‘t you agree that music is best when it‘s not easy to describe it.
Just like the music of Wolfgang Barthel, Matthias Böhm and Reinhold Bauer.
Their amalgamation of oriental folk, percussive rock and meditative blues will let you drift away, dream, dance... into the storm.
Timeless Horizons is a compilation of songs originally released by Wolfgang Barthel on three private press LPs: Auf Der Suche (1984), Zeitlos (1986) and

New Horizons (1988). Original copies are almost impossible to find these days,

so welcome the Timeless Horizons..."

and here's what the Vinyl Factory writes about it!

Cheers, Basso 

Party with Charly

Party with Charly Kingson! Coming from his privately released debut album...

Alex - There, You Can Have My Youth

A fantastic new guest mix, yes. Sorry for the wait, folks!
Here's a festive trip from Basel's very own Alex aka Plattenalexander. A great mix of pensive pop, deep contemporary jazz, dubby wave and all that.  And a lot of never heard before jams. Thanks a lot for your youth Alex!!

Enjoy the ease!

Dubby - Night Mirage

I'm very happy to announce a new guest mix at the bin. A mix made by my friend Dubby from Tokyo, Japan. Dubby is a longtime collector and DJ. Last year he started the ONDAS online shop for undiscovered japanese treasures. Not a completely new thing to master Dubby as he's been the buyer for the legendary Cisco Records for 10 years.
Back to the music. Night Mirage is night music as one would guess. Relaxing yet paralizing. A night drive into the unknown dark. Experimental beauty. Enjoy your trip. THANKS DUBBY!

time to wash the car, dude!

Bobby Beige - On Ibiza

Here's a mix by my friend Bobby Beige recorded whilst his first residency on Ibiza this autumn. He  usually plays lovely records all summer long in the wonderful Garden in Zadar, Croatia. Ibiza isn't bad either - especially La Escollera where the magic happened that you'e about to hear ;)
Bobby's in the music biz for a long time already. Being part of the Pork collective (he recorded as Bullitnuts, Opik and Momma Gravy) Bobby's playing chilled out music since the mid nineties. Apart from being a supernice guy Bobby got TASTE and knows his shit from Azymuth to Thrill Jockey. I had the pleasure to play some hours of back to back with him this summer and every tune that he dropped was brilliant! Just as this selection. Thanks a lot Bobby!!

Elephants stomping over cars filled with fish

in the garden

This summer I had the pleasure to play some records in the wonderful Garden at Zadar, Croatia. If you have the chance travel there - do so - you won't regret!!
Here's the recording of the first hour from saturday afternoon. Every time I listen to it I have the fondest memories of standing there in the shade, watching the ships float by, sipping on Aperol Spritz and playing some music for my lady reading a book, Bobby Beige taking a nap and the garden's guests chilling out.
I feel the urge have to mention that this mix starts with a recording by Luc Ferrari called Presque Rien No.1 (Le Lever Du Jour Au Bord De La Mer). The original recordings for this piece are said to be recorded at the croation coast not far away from Zadar so I took the opportunity to bring it back there. Kind of my way to say thank you, Monsieur Ferrari. At least I got rewarded by some strange looks of the garden's service team :) I hope you enjoy this releaxed hour ...

Hugest thanks to Bobby, Charlotte, Nick and the whole Garden Team for some amazing days in the sun!

quietude finally

Endlich Ruhe translates Quietude Finally. And it works. Coming from his Ochsenzoll album featuring long time companion (1955 - )Wolfgang Schlüter.
Ochsenzoll is a northern township of Hamburg known for one of the hugest psychiatry hospitals in Germany. Thanks a lot for this peaceful composition Mr. Naura!!

The Dream Chimney - Gently Baked

Our gently baked new guest mix comes from the Dream Chimney aka Ryan Chimney known for making beautiful music as the Beat Broker. Coming from California - the mecca of new age - he blesses us with heavenly fumigated electronica!

I'd like to use this post to deeply THANK YOU Ryan for creating one of most wonderful places in the web. Like thousands of others I discovered tons of great tunes and musicians through the TOTD. On top of that I got to know some wonderful people there as well. Long live the Dream Chimney!!

Luigi Malatesta - EMR-06

Luigi Malatesta - EMR-06

Hi there! I've been curious about this one for a while, mostly due to the tracknames of the a-side. Underwater-themed Italian librarymusic.. mmmmmm. I don't even know if it *is* librarymusic, as info on this release is scarce. Maybe someone can shed some light. This is not the best of rips, but I'm sure one will eventually surface that does this moody album justice. Enjoy it!
