What are you listening to now, I mean right now in this moment? (Part 2)

Definitely, imo, one of the best pieces of music released in the last couple of years.

After the latest TP NTS show, found myself listening to the remainder of the Spivak + Prins Emanuel E.P., which is beautiful:

listened to the new atjazz this morning. https://www.discogs.com/release/37143315-Atjazz-Starbase-17

here’s my impression: it’s long. like really long. it’s good, but if it’s better than good, it’s hidden by the fact that it just… keeps… going…

at some point it’s gotta be diminishing returns, right? like maybe there’s some gems on there but it’s too intimidating to listen to closely because it’s so damn long? who’s got this type of time?

Since hearing it for the first time on Michael Mayer’s Fabric 13, I haven’t come across it in a club yet.

revisiting the Virgin Ubiquity remixes. Some have aged better than others. I loved ā€˜Tarzan’ in 2006

Totally agree. 27 tracks! Even if they were all brilliant then nobody can process that much content in one go. Like when Sault released three albums at once. Why not stagger them?

Shabaka picks Smithsonians Folkways

"When I started compiling this playlist, I had in mind ā€œinfluences,ā€ recordings that have informed the direction of my musical path. However, as I slowly became more conscious of the breadth of the collection, I decided to let my mind run free and give a snapshot of the kind of sonic rummaging I’ll usually do in the early hours, flowing from one flute recording to another, regionally unshackled via the internet, letting my interest dictate what I listen to and concentrate on fully.

I like to think that there’s a core musicality that’s been established pretty early on in my life, which gets affirmed and nuanced with every artistic decision I make, with every recording I decide to focus my attention on. Through this process of learning, I continuously understand more about who I am artistically, and then work to materialize this conjecture within my musical decision-making process.

There’s not a linear thread to my selections. They are the recordings that I decided I want to listen to for my own pleasure after the playlist selection is over. They are the sounds that struck something inside me. It might take many years of processing to understand why I was drawn to these particular recordings, and that’s the process that results in reflection, research, albums, and an expansion of the notion of identity."

Yes mate. I basically snaffled up a load of their stuff after hearing the Payfone mix. Love it!

Looks like they disappeared around 2018/19.

Catching Hunee in two weeks at Jazz Middleheim in Antwerp. He always brings the spice.

I remember the time when he played our local youthclub. Think we payed him 500 Euros and he slept on the couch.
