Room Radio See Safari show / Luke Una / Levon Vincent / Warm new Job / Warm Comps

Been struggling to find time to put these shows mixes together and for good reason as I have just recently started working for https://warmagency.com/. which is a dream come true as they represent some of my fave DJS inc Luke Una – his compilation E Soul Cultura is a must you can get it here through Warms record shop for the fair price & have included some tracks from the comp on this here mix head over to warm and cop some of their amazing compilations including the
Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours Volume One comp

and now just recently Levon Vincvent has signed to Warm Levon Vincent (dubby / muddy pure jacking material trax – here’s a wee blurb about his new Album

Levon Vincent returns with his fifth studio album, titled Work In Progress, the follow up to 2022’s Silent Cities cassette release. Progress sees the dub techno and NY house auteur throw away any overarching concept, apart from the idea that it must move you.

Work In Progress is a collection of club ready jams that form the latest productions from Levon’s incredibly prolific run of 12”s he’s pressed on his own label Novel Sounds, directly for the next weekend’s sets. His run over the last 20 years of 12” numbers almost 50 releases. Rather than his previous albums presenting a finished story, his fifth presents a diarist’s work in progress, his latest club constructions, many raising the BPM to 140 to reflect the faster pace of his latest DJ sets.

“The previous albums I have made are all meant to be heard from start to finish, where it takes the listener on a voyage” explains Levon. “I modelled the narrative idea after those LPs after greats like Stevie Wonder, who made albums that contained an arc that would unfold from start to finish. You were meant to listen to them from beginning to end.”

“With Work in Progress, I set out to break the pattern of writing albums with an arc. I wanted to make something that more closely reflects my DJing. This is an album for DJs. I thought, ‘why separate my LP and 12” approaches? My only rule for this album was ‘you have to be able to play each track in your own sets’. My DJ sets are varied and go through different styles. I would play every track on this LP at some point in a club night or at a festival. I named it Work In Progress, because I am a work in progress. And I am frequently in a situation where I must improve. So it references self-improvement, the concept and the action of.”

DJs and home listening fans of Levon will find a lot to love in the new collection. From the hi-nrg 80s proto-disco through a gray scale gauze of Regarding Love, with an emotional mood continued through Longing, the skipping NY House drum programming of Strut Beats filtered through a submarine Berliner filter. Even a track which promises such an uncomplicated confection as The Funk is complicated by Levon’s gritty vision, made tougher and more metallic. Sunday Mornings echo’s the most feel good of 90s piano, but with a shifting modal centre, as befits a musician who has taught himself to play with and use nonstandard harmonic intervals. Again, Levon is exploring and composing in real time, pursuing his muse across an industrial grid of his own construction.

Chug Boat ! A Macmillian fundraiser in Bournemouth

It’s been a while! But Campari Safari the italo themed party is back in its hometown of bournemouth ….

We have been biding our time and waiting for the stars to align and what stars we have in our orbit, thanks by and large to a certain lovely lady who put together a party / sponsored climb to raise money in Aid of Macmillian and in memory of a friend a party called the sequin climb has raised nearly 5 grand for macmillian djs and dancers and climbers got together at scafell pike in the lake district in March and some of the DJS and crew are reunited for one night and maybe more ( lets see ) parties….

Chugging all night in slow mo, sonically deep on the lovely Void sound system

On the night we have two hardcore keepers of the flame Jenny 20, Alice Palace and Kilmo from the Hush Club who has been bringing the best parties to the BH postcode inc parties with Warm (who’ve just launched a label) Luke Unabomber , wild swimming myth debunker and proponent of E soul cultura – which you can purchase his comp of this late night soulful sound of strange enveloping music that sounds great on max strength rave 4.0 mega ecstasy HERE AT MR BONGO ….BE sure to listen to his essential World Wide show and his lovely observations about dj culture, Andrew Weatherall and the wider world we live in ) …Hush Club have also warmed up for the lovely Horsemeat disco and they with Warm and LOkey are doing a great job of keeping Bournemouth alive and proving you can get people dancing to proper music again in this wee tacky town of holidaying road men, creatin cretins and fake bake loons,

I digress !! so The DJs onboard for Chug boat are top fucking sweet as nice 1 swallow dove mitzi punisher double stacked speckled hard stamped in holland level disc jockeys …check Jenny 20 ( so named as, twenty is plenty !! I’m guessing these are late 90s early 2000s low grade eggs as that’s a one way ticket to A&E with Neon jaundice ) her mix for living legend and scholar of Disco Bill Brewster’s Paradise Farage mix series is up there with the best, look no further for a proto trance revisionism / strong chug DNA / … there’s a lot of classics in here and newish tracks that sound deliciously retro and you really should use the wonder of Shazam to track every last track …

for you leisure and Pleasure we also have Spritz Or Liam, i’m lucky enough to meet him through the wonder of ALFOS and through cosmic connections and love he is going to be living in Bournemouth, something about magnetic magic or maybe just getting old and retiring ? Apparently Nina Walsh has moved to Dorset so sabres seem to be pulled to the key lines of the south … Liam/ Spritz has made a specific mix to mark his Journey south and its called So Long and Thanks for all the Fish which is a Douglas Adams Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy reference ….im gonna digress again another book I need to get round to reading but thanks to Del another Alfos friend through the wonderful conduit light ( log girl ) lady I know and Love I have been gifted two wonderful books and have to read , I I read Bobby G s book Tenement Kid and that was essential to any sabre / scream team person .. before I Post spritz mix I got to say Del is an amazing dj and he did a fantastic mix for my show on Room Radio the Dublin based station set up by Sumatran Black and La Maison Dieu

here is my Weatherall tribute for the room radio see safari show

here is Dels mix which contains a Veslemes track that is constantly come to me as an ear worm https://veslemes.bandcamp.com/album/apolithomaes

Del is an avid Sabrette and has a vast knowledge of the physical tangible world and the esoteric knowledge meeting him and fellow sabre people like spritz has made my life a 100% better and its all thanks to the conduit light conductor, so this party marks me coming back to putting on parties something i’ve done as a hobby but also the point of my existence to get people in a room with flashing lights and pulsing music and get them In a feverish state something the God head Weatherall was so good at and through his legacy and Seans with Alfos and all the music makers that look to him ..anyway i’m waffling on here
