Jonny 5 - Sunrise over Hackney Mixx- Talking in Stereo Exclusive Mix

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket



Here is the 4th exclusive mix for Talking in Stereo. I have reached out to DJ's and music collectors that have inspired me asking for exclusive mixes.



Jonny 5 from the UK has stepped up to the plate with a winding mix that takes you on a journey through sonically baked jams, landing lightly on terrestial ground. Jonny first came to my attention through his decompression mix on CBS. Here is what Jonny says about the mix "it's a mix in honour of a few lost weekends spent watching the sunrise from balconies of blocks of flats in the Hackney area of London."

I am proud to announce the third exclusive mix for Talking in Stereo. It comes from a great DJ and audio blogger out of South Africa, Chris Keyz.

Chris runs one of the best audio blogs on the net called Another Night on Earth. His Blog has just reached 50,000 visits due to his intriguing and discerning collection of re-edits and exclusives that Chris posts and writes about. If someone would have told me 6 months ago I would be hosting a mix from a DJ almost half way across the world I would have said they were crazy. Now on to the music.


I want to thank Chris again for the opportunity and his effort involved. Look out for pt 2 coming soon!

Across the Sea



From 2002's Jepte Guillaume and the Tet Kale Orkestra's "Voyage of Dreams."

Description:
Jephte Guillaume - Voyage of Dreams

The latest release from Haitian beatmixer/vocalist/bassist/acoustic guitarist Jephthe Guillaume, a double CD entitled Voyage Of Dreams takes the sounds of Haitian rara and carnival music and certain Latin conventions and tosses the salad on the club dance-floor. As a result Jephthe is probably the most high-profile Haitian musical performer in the world today. While there must be incredible pressure to conform to the pressures of the market, Voyage Of Dreams evinces a helluva lot more heart and soul than many similar recordings in the genre.

Using the club cliché-beat as a heartbeat around which to introduce real percussion, and augmenting electronic keyboards with instruments such as flute, piano and brass instruments he has avoided much of the predictable sterility which afflicts clubland. There are many points of genuine performance here with lovely piano and flute interplay as well as Brazilian and rara beats. The compositions tend to build up a genuine head of steam as if a real performance were happening (which I suppose is). As an added bonus several vocalists and percussionists from the brilliant rara-pop group Boukman Eksperyans add a serious dose of reality. If you can get past the new-age gobbledy gook in the web-biography you might find that Voyage Of Dreams offers more than you think. RJ July 2003
