Open Your Heart And Let It Shine (House mix)



Between 1999 and 2004 I bought a lot of house records and honed my skills on the decks here in Chicago. I'd spend hours in shops like Gramophone rooting through mediocre four on the floor looking for the gems. All considering I'd say some amazing records were coming out, especially from the Chicago and San Fran scenes of the time on labels like Moody, Relief, Afterhours, Classic, Greyhound, and Panhandle. Just the other day I pillaged my shelves to see which tunes still had some mojo left after all these years. Quite a few! Here's a live mix with vinyl for ya; the blends are sloppy but, meh, it's all about the records. - DJ Bylamplight

7" Pinch - Lowdjo's Rattling Jukebox


Discrepant brings back the man responsible for the 7" Pinch, Brussels based DJ Lowdjo, for his second contribution to the series and 4th instalment for Discrepant.

Forget CDs, LPs and MP3s and surrender with us, one more time, to the power of the 7" Pinch!

Podcast for Discrepant.net


This week’s guest mix comes in the form of yet another running new series. When invited to contribute a mix to discrepant, Lowdjo had the excellent idea of doing a 7” only mix. We gladly obliged inadvertently giving birth to a new mix series here at discrepant HQ, the 7” Pinch.
By using only 7” from their collections, musicians/dj’s/producers/collectors are invited to contribute with their own musical vision of the 45rpm slammer. The aim is to celebrate such medium, dust off old classics and fire off new plates, all in the name of that mostly underrated shiny black spinner!
First in the series, the artist responsible for the concept, Lowdjo from Brussels, coherently takes us on a journey connecting the two very different worlds of vintage psychedelics with the more recent Glitch-hop tendencies!

Forget CDs, mp3 downloads and spotify...Surrender to the pinch of the 7"!


Tracklist:

Ennio Morricone - La Resa Dei Conti
Gonjasufi - My Only Friend
Maledictus Sound - Cambronne
Selda - Nem Kaldi

A Turk And A Killer On Soundcloud

take a guess who's that man in de middle ;)

Good day to y’all!

The eclectic dj wizard Lowdjo from Brussels is at it again with a fresh mix, inspired by the Turkish ‘Anadolu’ psychedelic rock sound from the 70′s. That and, as the title suggests, triggered by the sampling notions of Gonjasufi’s 2010 record on Warp.

Listen up, you can still download it if you’re quick!

A Turk And A Killer by Lowdjo

The uploading of the mix wasn’t without a struggle either. Here’s what Lowdjo has to say about it;

A Turk And A Killer .. some words ..

Last summer I listened to a lot of psychedelic music from all over the world. One of the ‘scenes’ I really got into was the Turkish ‘Anadolu’-rock scene.

While listening to a lot of these fuzzy tracks I was really surprised when I discovered that quite some tracks released by The Gaslamp Killer & Gonjasufi are so close to the original Turkish songs… they’re just slightly altered, edited and have a voice-over by Kutmah.

I was even more surprised when I tried to upload this recording onto Soundcloud and it got blocked for “copyright infringement”. I got a message that said my mixtape was recognised as “The Gaslamp Killer – Kobwebs” and belonged to the rightsholder Milan Records.

After submitting my counter notice and waiting for a week, I contacted Soundcloud again and explained them that the whole idea of this mixtape is to shake up the discussion about copyright, sampling, etc… I even send them links to videos from both tracks so they could compare.

Today, it’s been a month…. and still no word. So I taught I’ll try fooling the new ‘copyright-robot’ at Soundcloud by just putting an excerpt from Cassetteboy’s Parker Tapes at the start of the mix, upload this and see what happens. And yes……. this time no problem with getting my favorite Turks online!

Enjoy the m!x and spread da word ;-)

Lowdjo

Apparently Soundcloud is now also hunting down fans/djs who are mixing up James Blake ‘Limit To Your Love’…. There’s something fishy about Soundcloud making such decisions and blocking the mashups & remixes of people who have all made the website such a big in the last few years.

The eclectic mashup femme DJ Ripley wrote a really interesting post about it on her blog with the title; walling off another garden. Also WayneandWax did a good post about internet content copyright earlier in december; platform politricks.

You had some of your mixes, remixes of mashes rejected by Soundclolud? Speak up and spread the word!

Want to know where all the Gonjasufi samples came from?
