at the end of the summer break

Mélissa Laveaux serves all these feelings perfectly. As usual. And I long for more.



Please meet the director of the video Bastien Roger.

o lugar do silêncio | odurzeni światłem

Sitting on a grass for a while today. It felt like being embraced by summer and autumn at the same time. New places. Old friendships. Sun and Moon. And a music package waiting for me in the evening. The beauty of August. Time of contradictions. Silent place. Bossa velha.

"Wertowaliśmy odurzeni światłem, w tej wielkiej księdze wakacji, której wszystkie karty pałały od blasku i miały na dnie słodki od omdlenia miąższ złotych gruszek." Bruno Schulz, Sierpień

got to catch that buzz

Brought back to the 1980' today. Catching that buzz. Grace Jones is still a drug.

where songs are stored on cellphones

All those desert feelings of today captured by Koudédé, a true nomad from Agadez, Niger. Sahel souvenir.



Contemporary pop music from the Sahara desert, where songs are stored on cellphones. Collected in Northern Mali in 2010 (since taken over by extremists who've banned music on cellphones) the second volume expands into new sonic territory - from dreamy Niger guitar ballads, Bamako club juke, to hi energy Moroccan child Raï - with a focus on the Autotuned DIY creations circulating the desert.

Coffee. Gallery. Good talk. Understanding. Chill zone. Right in the pocket.



The video was directed by Nick Bentgen. Ballet choreography by Devin Alberda. Please meet the dancers from Beacon's Finest Step Team and Del Fuego Wolfpack (for more credits please click here).

Oh, you've got life right in the pocket
Oh, don't you know what I mean?

Friday kick-off and some plans to visit a few records shops. Friday at its best. Kamasi Washington at your service. Perfect. Feeling so much at home with these sounds.

days in longing

Perfect evening. City. Good people. Red moon. Brilliance and honesty in music.



I spend my days in longing,
and wondering why it's me you're wronging
