Ajvar at Trädgårdens late summer graduation

Comments

So much love in the heart of Stockholm when Trädgården closed for this summer. Ajvar were there providing the very best of cray, funky, multikulti beats featuring Gregory Isaacs report to you, classic Brazil party groove á la Olodum, Mastiksoul Gasosa and a heart breaking Pastor Lopez.

For those of you not present we’ve fixed the essential mix, for every dancefloor from here on to around May or June. Then, hopefully, we’ll do it all over again.

Episode 51: The Habibi Funk stories

Could it be that the best album of the year has already been released? The people at Habibi Funk Record has dropped a brilliantly curated reissue – an exclusive guide into the music of Algerian composer Ahmed Malek, whose catalog of groovy, funky and melancholic movie scores from the 1970s, have earned him the title of Algeria’s answer to Ennio Morricone. This album not only contains remastered versions of songs from Musique Original De Films, but also previously unreleased tracks, unseen video footage, and rare photos. Stories as good as the amazing music.

We also did some Belgian waffles edits, wonderful and rare Blackmans Fever and 80:s West African groove from The International Soleil Band Soundway Record edit that would and should slay discerning dancefloors this summer.

Taking a trip to Mexico and Columbia in search of cumbia treasures with Boogie Down Edits, getting into steel band covers with Bacao Rythm & Steel Band and philosophize about why no one hasn’t done a cover, an edit or a jingle of mighty Gregory Isaacs Report To Me (ok, so we’ll do that).
