Kyodai together with Wagon Cookin have had a strong run of releases since their debut here on Freerange Records Their "Mi Rumba EP" must have impressed a lot of people as they went on to release a follow up EP for Mad Mats blossoming Local Talk label with "Breaking EP", supported by top names, until reaching the top list of the Gilles Peterson's "An All Winners Show", and to be part of the GTA V soundtrack, also have an EP due on Poker Flat called "Never Know". Kerri Chandler dug it enough to include on his RA podcast and it was also picked up for the Cielo Compilation on Nervous, resulting many request for remixes and productions.

In this episode from the all new season 3 I'm speaking with Chicago born, Rotterdam based DJ producer, Jamie 3:26. I first heard of Jamie through the co-head honcho of Stockholms house label Local Talk, Mad Mats. “One guy to look out for" I was told several years ago. I explored some opportunities at that time for Jamie in Dubai and the region, which didn't come together, however it wasn't until I was working with Barbary, the club party space and bar in Dubai, where I was working at the time, and the team I was working with, brought him over and it was nothing short of a memorable experience. Jamie's energy behind the decks is infectious and matches his personality, humorous, joyful and playful. We spoke about the racial divide today in America, whitewashing in dance music, hypnotherapy, mindfulness and his sobriety journey. It was an honor to sit down together and learn more about Chicago's disco and house music history from Jamie's personal experience and knowledge.

5 ans et demi déjà que le label suédois Local Talk Records, co-fondé par MAD MATS et Tooli, nous régale avec des sorties toujours à la pointe de la house musicalité. Après plus de 80 releases aussi bien soulful, disco, que deep & acidulé e s avec de très belles signatures telles que Lay Far, HNNY, Kioday, Fulbert, Dj Steaw, il était temps de fêter ça, et de bien foutre le bordel en famille sur le meilleur dancefloor avec les meilleurs danseurs, pour les meilleurs vibes. Quoi de plus logique donc que cette collaboration avec le CLUB LIMO - le collectif au groove le plus gentil d'Europe de l'Ouest - & le DJOON - le plus soulful des clubs de la capitale, très apprécié des gens qui savent groover un max. Plus qu'une soirée, ce vendredi 10 mars sera un véritable festin auditif, afin de nourrir de chaleur corporelle tous les petits habitants de la France qui bounce. Et en guise de cerise sur le tempo, le label sortira sa compilation d'anniversaire ! Au Menu : DJ Mad Mats, un des fondateurs du label mais aussi S3A Sampling As An Art qui signe une des tracks de la compilation et le prodigieux Lay-Far ayant sorti de très belles prods et EPs sur le label. Les gars sûrs du Limonadier dj crew : Barba Dulce, JAWN et Polair qui ouvriront le bal pour l'occasion. Encore mieux que de faire Stockholm - Malmo en Volvo V70 cette histoire !

Living in the seaside republic of Venice for 20 years, WISEACRE initially established a successful career as a commercial/fine art photgrapher. in 2003, he decided to pick up some vinyl, a couple of turntables, a mixer, two speakers and a few friends in order to begin the labor of love we call “throwin’ parties”. since this time, wiseacre has put his love for photography on hold and co-created three very successful LA parties, FUNKY IN THE MIDDLE, CUSTOM SUNDAZE and now theLIFT which after one year is expanding to san francisco and new york . he has hosted and played along side such talents as GILLES PETERSON, DANNY KRIVIT, BONOBO, NICKODEMUS, LOUIE VEGA, JOE CLAUSELL, OSUNLADE, BLACK COFFEE, MARK FARINA, MR.

Groovement Soul Podcast episode NO.9 is a mix of strictly Local Talk material. We would like to thank Mad Mats for this exclusive compilation of past, future and promo releases from our favorite new house label.Behind the Local Talk label are renowned DJ and club promoter Mad Mats (Raw Fusion / GAMM) and Tooli (24:HRS) who’s well known in the Stockholm nightlife for his highly acclaimed 24:HRS party and blog. The two of them joined forces and Local Talk is the first step in creating a new platform for their deep love of house music. A tracklist with links to buy tracks is available below the interview.INTERVIEW WITH LOCAL TALK LABEL FOUNDERS MAD MATS + TOOLIQuestions by Colin LeopoldQ. Your new label Local Talk has an unmistakable classic sound to it, how do you draw on retro influences while still sounding fresh and new?A. Both of us have been listening, playing, loving all types of music for many years so perhaps that something that's reflected in the musical output, but otherwise we don't think so much about that, we release tracks we like, simple as that.Q. With Basic Fingers also on the go and plans for more labels, what's the most fun part of running a label - and what part do you enjoy the least?A. The most fun is when you hear your releases played in a club and to see the crowd reaction. The worst is all the paperwork.Q. Does having a number of labels make it easier to promote music or harder - is there any friendly rivalry between the labels?A. No, the labels are separate from each other, it's definitely not a rivalry, just a little bit more work to take care of. We love them both as they where our little children. Q. I'm 14 years old living in New York and I've just found a load of classic house mp3s online, explain to me why vinyl is still relevant?A. Well, we think its simply a matter of taste. Some people like the vinyl feel and some don't. But as long peeps still have a need for label artwork, vinyl touch and an urge to buy their music in physical shops its always gonna be relevant.Q. What makes Sweden unique to live in? Is there a 'Swedish house sound' - can you describe it?A. Good coffee? To be honest I don’t know if there’s a specific house sound, people used to talk about the Swedish techno sound (loop-based & compressed beats with some percussive elements) but with house, at least where we come from I’d say it’s more influenced from other countries and cities. There’s been a few labels in Sweden that perhaps stod out but nowadays it’s a mix of lot’s of different thing. Local Talk for instance is just our reflection of house, and it can be from anywhere, sounding like it’s done years ago or today. Q. With so much new music out there all around the world, how do you source new artists for your labels? A. Well, as we know alot of people and get sent demos on a regular basis we have pretty good selection out there. But many times the best way to get together a hot release is actually to ask a producer to make a release for us and then give them some pointers of what we're after.Q. How do you quality control your releases - has there ever been a disagreement among you all over a tune or release? How did you resolve it?A. We listen to the tracks together and talk about what we like and don’t like, and I’d say in 99% we agree with each other, we both share the same vision of what the music released on Local Talk should sound like. Q. What's the most fun gig you played out in 2011 and why (Question for both of you)?A. In April we did this illegal warehouseparty in Stockholm called Raw Devotion (Raw Fusion vs Club Devotion) which was off the hook. This music was totally freestyle and we played absolutely anything we wanted...crazy! (Mad Mats)A. One I do remember was back in February I played with Brennan Green and it took less than 60 seconds from the club opened to have a dancefloor. I put on the first record, turned around to check something in the record bag and when I looked back we had lot’s of people dancing and cheering. I could not belive it…and they stayed there the whole night. (Tooli)Q. Have you played in Dublin before and, if so, what was your impression of the scene?A. Yes, 4-5 times (Mad Mats) and from what I can remember you guys got a really up for it crowd...always had a great time! Last time was with Mark Murphy (Choice Cuts?) and it was more of a funk, disco, hip hop party (Mad Mats).A. Nope, but I hope it won’t take long before I get the opportunity ;) (Tooli) Q. If you could travel back in time to any period (regardless of music), when would it be and why?A. I don't wanna go back...I wanna go forward ;) (Mad Mats) A. Not sure, I’m very happy where I am at the moment and would not like to change it. Cliché answer…(Tooli)Q. What would be your death row meal?A. A really bloody steak (Mad Mats).A. Ice-Cream, love it and can’t live without it (Tooli). Q. Apart from music, what are the three essential ingredients for a good party?A.

Nomsta* has been a lover of good music all his life. Childhood toys are his uncle's Beatles, Boney M and Deep Purple records, grew up through the eras of Disco and UK's Acid House, and formative years in the age of House. It then became an addictive life-long commitment to keep on discovering tasteful and cutting edge music – starting a music career in the record industry, led to independent music promotions, throwing events and parties, and now DJing to share the music that he loves directly to the masses.Based in Singapore, he has played top gigs at Ministry Of Sound and Zouk, at venues around Asia and alongside cats like Roy Davis Jr (US), Andy Smith of Portishead (UK), Spiritual South & Mad Mats of Raw Fusion (UK), Zero dB (UK), Frank de Jojo (UK), DJ Siskid (FR) and MOS Australia voted No.1 DJ Kid Kenobi and MC Shureshock (AU). Nomsta’s taste has been verified by many. His appearance in iconic events like Gilles Peterson's Worldwide and Australia's Good Vibrations festivals, his regular contributions on Singapore's LUSH FM style radio, fans of his mixtapes and even an invitation on a concert tour with Asian pop superstars F4 set his spot on the forefront of cutting edge music.Nomsta's MySpaceDownload as mp3Subscribe to this podcast with iTunesSubscribe via your RSS reader

Hi all, been a while eh? Another flashback mix for you lovely people to download. This time by popular demand (ie. one of my mates lost the CD and loved it so much asked if he could get another copy ;-). This mix was a promotional mix I did for www.astrojazz.co.uk the home of Astroboy, co-founder and resident DJ of Edinburgh's legendary Departure Lounge night at The Caves. Possibly one of Edinburgh's most consistently good nights for all things broken, dub, jazzy and all round worldwide vibes. For more info and cheap tickets to what will no doubt be NYE party of the year in Edinburgh go to www.departurelounge.me.uk They've hosted nights with such varied quality acts such as Candi Staton, Jazztronik, Azymuth, Gilles Peterson, Eska Mtungwazi, Bansuri, Marly Marl, Patrick Forge, Mark De Clive-Lowe, Quantic Soul Orchestra, Recloose, The Bamboos, Kokolo, Platinum Pied Pipers, Ed Motta, Mad Mats, Dom Servini, Spiritual South, Benji B, Teddy Rok, Zero dB, Ty, Paul Murphy, Part Time Heroes, New Mastersounds, Lubi Jovanovic, Broke'n'English, DJ Nuts, Belleruche, Diesler, Nostalgia 77, Russ Dewbury, Mr Scruff, Roy Ayers, Antibalas...and many more. The description on said website is as follows... "Local head Gary Mallett provides the vibes here. Look out for him at various bars and clubs in Edinburgh. An up-and-coming decksmith." Up and Coming Decksmith... I can handle that! Expect jazz, soul, funk, hip hop, house, broken beat, and a very early airing of a Mark Ronson cover courtesy of a promo copy I got. Look at him now! Hope you like it. I'll lay off the retro "Tax Return" mixes and put up a brand new episode of Sound Investments as a Christmas present to you all in good time.
