After many many hours of spinning records together at late nite gigs, Waxist Selecta and Dr Miette joined their efforts to elaborate this soul mixtape. Soul music has always been a musical link between the two DJs : they share a love for well-orchestred violins, languorous bass, suave voices and more globally a music coming from both heart and guts. Dr Miette sent his first 15 min set to Waxist who listened, answered with 15 another minutes, and the back to back went on. Starting with deep-fried soul, drum-break based, the mixtape shifts towards hip-hopish-funkish soul and ends with cross over, modern soul inspired tunes. Oh yes and we played a French one, enjoy your listening, do not listen on laptop speakers please. As usual vinyls only, almost all original (at least for Waxist!). Special shout-outs to DJ Goodka who triggered the meeting of the two DJs in his deeply-regretted record shop. Après de longues heures à tourner des vinyles ensembles sur de beaux dancefloors tard le soir, Dr Miette et Waxist Selecta se sont retrouvés pour une mixtape collaborative basée sur la soul music. Ce genre a toujours été un trait de réunion musical entre les deux Djs, ils partagent un amour pour les violons, des basses langoureuses, des voix suaves, bref une musique qui vient du cœur et des tripes. Dr Miette a envoyé son premier set de 15 minutes à Waxist, qui lui a répondu et ainsi de suite. La mixtape commence avec de la soul lente, remplie de drums breaks, évolue vers un stlye davantage hip hop, funky et finit en cross-over modern soul, plus un petit bonus bien français ! Grosse dédicade à DJ Goodka, son shop a été le lieu de notre rencontre et le début de notre collaboration musicale. Bonne écoute, évitez les hauts-parleurs d’ordinateurs portables, 100% vinyls comme d’hab.
