#082 The First Turn of the Spiral

  • septiembre 10, 2024 18:00

«Me he pasado media vida en clubes (y a veces en comunidades, no siempre son sinónimos), escuchando y tocando música house. El house nació en Estados Unidos. Yo también; tenemos más o menos la misma edad. No pertenezco a la generación ni a la comunidad de origen, pero me alegro de formar parte de la continuación. Para esta mezcla, he elegido canciones que me encantan y que muestran los múltiples talentos del género. Algunas son un puente entre la música disco y el futuro, otras se sienten como viejas amigas, otras están hechas por viejas amigas. Espero que encuentres tu próxima canción favorita en este mix o que te recuerde una que hace años que no escuchas y que te encanta.»

«I spent half my life in clubs (and sometimes in community—they’re not always synonymous), listening to and playing house music. House was born in the US. So was I; we’re around the same age. I’m not from the originating generation or community, but I’m glad to be part of the continuation. For this mix, I chose songs I love that showcase the genre’s multi-talents. Some are a bridge between disco and the future, some feel like old friends, others are made by old friends. I hope you find your next favorite song on this mix or are reminded of one you haven’t heard in ages that you love.»

#073 Yendo del Garage al Big Room

  • julio 9, 2024 19:00

«Mi primer acercamiento a la música fue a través del house y el rock. Ambos estilos, en crossfade, podrían llevar a la música disco, así como el azul y amarillo a tonalidades de verde. En la juventud, décadas más, décadas menos, el house era y en parte sigue siendo el sonido del pop. Es un género muy directo, amplio, para todo público, abierto, flexible. Fue mutando y tiene un montón de facetas. Lo que no encaja en nada, puede ser confortable, acogedor o no, es como una casa.
Para este mix compilé algo de lo que estuve escuchando estos últimos meses, como para hacer un paseo ecléctico por distintas formas en las que se pueda apreciar algo de este maravilloso género que tanta alegría y amor nos viene dando.

«My first approach to music was through house and rock. Both styles, in crossfade, could lead to disco, as well as blue and yellow to shades of green. In the youth, decades more, decades less, house was and partly still is the sound of pop. It is a very direct genre, broad, for all audiences, open, flexible. It has been mutating and has a lot of facets. What doesn’t fit in anything, can be comfortable, cozy or not, it’s like a house.
For this mix I compiled some of what I’ve been listening to these last months, as if to make an eclectic walk through different ways in which you can appreciate something of this wonderful genre that has been giving us so much joy and love.

#023 Something About The Groove

  • junio 20, 2023 18:00

«Me considero und DJ de House, mismo si a veces el House como género no domina en mis sets. La manera en que voy armando la noche —en conjunto con les bailarines en la pista— es algo que viene de ahí, y de recuerdos y experiencias compartidas con gente que definieron mi propio sentimiento del House, que está alejado de la narrativa oficial. Es en Colonia, la capital de la música electrónica en Alemania, en su momento denominada “Baby Chicago” por les DJs que nos venían a visitar desde aquella ciudad, donde conocí la pista de baile que proponía cada semana nuevos pasos. Christian S y yo teníamos una fiesta llamada “Lost” a la cual invitamos a Elbee Bad, con el que me fui en tren de Berlin a Colonia. Para mi hubo un antes y un después ahí, de cómo tocar, de cómo dialogar con la pista de baile. Este set que les presento me llevó a esos recuerdos y refleja una manera de ver el House que tiene que ver con Elbee Bad, The prince of dance, que tiene que ver con mi sello Cómeme, con Ana Helder, con Katerina, Diegors, con Christian S, con Sano – y que también tiene que ver con lo Latino en el House, y con Sudáfrica, donde el House nunca se fue y donde siempre lo he sentido muy vivo, en nuevas interpretaciones de un mismo sentimiento. En Johannesburgo sonaban temas de Cómeme (Como “ósea hello” de Diegors), y les DJs de Cómeme siempre tocaban tracks que venían de allá – con DJ Spoko marcando el paso de los ritmos que disfrutábamos en ese momento, culminando un día en el manifiesto colaborativo entre Spoko, Elbee y yo que fue “Something about the Groove”, título de mi Mix.
Ellos ya no están con nosotres, pero de alguna manera si permanecen vivos en nuestro ritmos y sonidos, y nuestra propia interpretación del House.»

«I consider myself a House DJ, even if sometimes House as a genre doesn’t dominate my sets. The way I put the night together – together with the dancers on the dancefloor – is something that comes from there, and from memories and experiences shared with people that defined my own feeling of House, which is far from the official narrative. It is in Cologne, the capital of electronic music in Germany, at the time called «Baby Chicago» by the DJs who came to visit us from that city, where I met the dancefloor that proposed new steps every week. Christian S and I had a party called «Lost» to which we invited Elbee Bad, with whom I went by train from Berlin to Cologne. For me there was a before and after there, how to play, how to dialogue with the dance floor. This set that I present to you took me back to those memories and reflects a way of seeing House that has to do with Elbee Bad, The prince of dance, that has to do with my label Cómeme, with Ana Helder, with Katerina, Diegors, with Christian S, with Sano – and that also has to do with the Latin in House, and with South Africa, where House never left and where I have always felt it very much alive, in new interpretations of the same feeling. In Johannesburg there were Comeme tracks playing (like Diegors’ «ósea hello»), and the Comeme DJs were always playing tracks that came from there – with DJ Spoko setting the pace for the beats we were enjoying at the time, culminating one day in the collaborative manifesto between Spoko, Elbee and myself that was «Something about the Groove», the title of my Mix.
They are no longer with us, but somehow they do remain alive in our rhythms and sounds, and our own interpretation of House.»
