Ever wondered what international DJ’s talk to each other about before and during gigs? Well unsurprisingly music seems to feature at the top of the list as French DJ and producer Jeremy Underground Paris has revealed on Facebook a novel past time he has began undertaking at the suggestion of Japanese artist Hunee whilst awaiting a gig in London. The concept is simple in that they both publicly pick a mini selection of six tracks that they think the other would love and wouldn’t yet be aware of hoping to please their counterpart by adding tracks to their “want list”
Both DJ’s have now shared their first selections for each other (and the general public) on their Facebook and Soundcloud pages as mini mixes with an explanatory introduction. We think it’s a great idea and hope it catches on between more friends within the scene as it certainly gives an added insight into the artists personality.
Check out Jeremy Underground Paris’ first 6 tunes for Hunee below So here it is: 6 tunes + an intro, non-mixed, vinyl-only.Intro/ Iasos – Libra Sunrise – Unity Records USA 1975Here’s the description of the track written on the backsleeve:”The rising sun, electrifying all life with the scintillating joy of celestial dimensions”. Something you definitely need!1/ Beverly Glenn-Copeland – Colors Of Anyhow – GRT Canada 1970 This I already know that you like it 🙂 As I dug it up for you when we spent time together at Superfly in Paris some weeks ago! Such a beautiful LP. Was making sense to start the selection with it.2/ France Gall – Musique – Atlantic France 1977Most french people know this track, but as you’re german.. there’s a chance you never heard it! Let’s see.. Amazing french disco.. A hit back in the days, overlooked by ‘boring diggers’ as “too mainstream” maybe, but great music – that’s all we care about! I had to put something from my homeland in this selection :)3/ Rosana – Muito Independente – Odeon Brazil 1978As we were talking about Brazilian music the other day when I almost made you miss your flight to Leeds! I’m sure you gonna love this little 7inch! Love Rosana’s voice!!4/ Patrice Jefferson – Look Mama, No Hands! – Niambi Records USAPretty rare one I believe. I’m sure this will put a smile on your face!5/ Carol Shinnete With The Concrete Band – Cyanide Love – Zilko Records USA 1984One for the weasels! Ebay-Popsike & co.. Music wise: one of my fave boogie tunes! You probably know this.. Anyway.. I’m sure it’s your cup of tea!6/ The Harden Brothers – Deep Inside Of You – H.B. Productions USA 1981Ok I’m ending this selection with some heavy stuff. Can’t remember if I mentioned this one last time we saw each other or not.. Was worth including it anyway!Check out Hunee first 6 tunes for Jeremy Underground Paris’ below
1. Joki Freund Sextet – Yogi Jazz * The only jazz record in this selection (thanks MCDE for the heads up on this one…). A long german modal workout, a type of jazz i hope you will enjoy.
2. Pedro Santos – Desengano da Vista * Jeremy, being a certified brazil collector and lover, you are hard to impress. I still burned my fingers to include two brazilian cuts. This one here, being a very deep and hopefully unknown shortie to you.
3. Jorge Ben – Katarina * Jorge Ben, so many great albums, and probably an obvious cut, but so good and shifting the mix towards a more uplifting side. I think I remember we talked about this record while being stuck in classic parisian traffic and you didnt know “the one with him and the dog on the cover”.
4. The Brief Encounter – Get A Good Feeling * A rare album, recently reissued from the Jazzman. A funky boogie cut, a good feeling, a band at its peak, a dancefloor set on fire.
5. Jr. Tucker – Take A Message (From My Body)* This has been an emotional rocket ever since I heard it (big up to Volcov). A one-dollar nugget, something i can see you might be putting on for all the bodies!
6. Mr. Fingers – Stars (1992 Version)* A 1992 Version of this Larry Heard monster. An end of the night flight, had to squeeze in one house thing for you. Fasten your seatbelts, Underground Paris is about to take off!
