HMiT Exclusive Podcasts Series - #5 - Mangabey - Boussole Mixtape




Pour cette cinquième livraison, c'est Mangabey qui s'attelle à la tâche. Cet autodidacte issu du jazz et des musiques noires nous livre un mix UK House aux nappes synthétiques énergiques, aux vocaux cuttés groovy en diable et, bien évidemment, aux basses vrombrissantes. L'homme est un des piliers du netlabel Boussole Records duquel il a signé la première parution, le EP Up & Down. Ne perdez pas le nord avec Boussole !

This time, Mangabey is the one in charge of our 5th podcast delivery. This autodidact with a jazz and black music background gives us a UK House mix with synthetic leads, devishly groovy cut-up vocals and, above all, with crazy basslines. The man is one of the mainstays of the Boussole records netlabel since his "Up & Down" EP was the first release from it. With Boussole, you'll never get lost!

HMiT Exclusive Podcasts Series - #4 - Drama - Voodoo... Mixtape



Quatrième épisode de notre série de podcasts bimensuels. Aux commandes, le boss, Drama, grand manitou des soirées Club Voodoo. Le ton est donné dès l'intro avec un morceau samplant le fameux "Your Love" de Jamie Principle alias Frankie Knuckles qui annonce que le mix sera froid, sombre, beau, poignant. Autrement dit, on a là un mix d'un romantisme noir radical. Ce sera la tonalité dominante, tout au long d'un set qui flirte avec plusieurs genres, qui monte progressivement, qui s'adresse avant tout à la tête plutôt qu'au corps, dont les morceaux se fondent les uns dans les autres avec finesse. Le mix culmine avec le "New York Is Alright" de TV Baby dont la désespérance rageuse touche à la folie. "The lunatic is in my mind"...

Fourth episode of our series of bi-monthly podcasts. On deck, the boss, Drama, the one behind Club Voodoo Parties. The mood is given right from the intro that samples the famous "Your Love" by Jamie Principle aka Frankie Knuckles. It announces that this mix will be cold, gloomy, beautiful, moving. In other words, we have here a mix which is dark and romantic. This will be the main mood, all along this set that passes through different kinds of electronic music, that is rising up progressively, that speaks more to the mind than to the body, whose tracks are melting one another subtly... The mix reaches a climax with "New York Is Alright" of TV Baby whose enraged despair is close to madness. "The lunatic is in my mind"...
