The summer terraces have opened, and we have beautiful funky house for them. Sometimes I ask musicians who are interesting to me to record a showcase of their best works. The result is not a podcast for the sake of it with someone else’s music but a real essential mix of the guest—their reflection, their core. The BBC Radio 1 has nothing to do with it, we have our own thing.
Today’s guest creates music from a pile of half-forgotten Japanese funky jazz records. He takes bass from one, keyboards from another, samples vocals from the third, and adds brass from the fourth. All this is somehow mixed in his mind, and then we hear it in a measured house rhythm with rich percussion. Anton Scruscru created his best mix, about half of which is exclusive—five of the dozen tracks are just getting ready to be released this year and next year. Anton: “Summer mix with my tunes! Inside there are unreleased tracks, collaborations and tracks that have become classic. Enjoy.”
