Closing in on the final episode of the NPS shows. But no worries, we’re going to continue the radio show. Maybe not anymore on a weekly base, but we’re definitely going to keep you guys hooked by supplying your monthly fix of good music! Thanks for everybody who came out on thursday to the Mayer Hawthorne gigs at Rush Hour Records and The Duivel, it was a blast. Ofcourse we recorded everything, within the upcoming month it’ll be online for you and yours to enjoy.

In the usual rainy Netherlands, these last weeks of sunshine and August heath feel quite amazing. Looking for some music that suits this temperature, I was happy to stumble upon an article by Egon (also known as manager of Stones Throw records) about producer, arranger and guitar player Arthur Verocai.

When exploring music from Brasil, Arthur Verocai might be the perfect introduction. Combining folk, funk and jazz, his self-titled debut album from 1972 is known as a classic for bringing Brasilian music into new directions. Mr. Verocai still performs these days, and did a show in Los Angeles earlier this year. For Egon that was the perfect reason to dig into his vinyl collection and shine some light on his favourite Arthur Verocai productions. Listen and read here.

PS: On the same NPR website I also enjoyed the article ‘A Eulogy for The Boombox‘ – “When the music was loud and unavoidable, we had to listen to each other.”

Future Vintage is counting down. Only a couple episodes left until the end of the NPS season on Radio6.
This week new tunes by Jay Are (John Robinson and J-Rawls), Mayer Hawthorne and Shafiq Husayn.
But off course we also take a minute to remember Baatin who was, for those of you who don’t know him, one of the founders of Slum Village. RIP.

Don’t forget! Future Vintage is recording and, in the future, will be broadcasting the MAYER HAWTHORNE dj performance, thursday at 18.00: SPUISTRAAT 91, Amsterdam. Come and have a beer with us as we boogie down to the beats of Mayer Hawthorne and Waxwell’s favorite Dj Delay.

Summer is not only about hanging out in the park, attending festivals and BBQ’s – for some people it’s hard work. But when that means working on something you love, there’s no reason to complain. Glasgowian, former turntablist and prince of emotronic Hudson Mohawke spent this summer in Amsterdam, where the locals hardly saw him because he was either playing abroad or hidden in the studio, finishing his highly anticipated debut album ‘Butter’, that will be released on Warp records October 12th. Friend and longtime Future Vintage collaborator Mamiko Motto was meanwhile working on the comeback of Hepcat Radio (and a bunch of other exciting projects). We were delighted to have both Mamiko and Hudson in our studio last week, for a little chat and DJ set with loads of new music. Yes, Hudson Mohawke even did an amazing set of his new tracks that haven’t been played on the radio thusfar. So have a taste of ‘Butter’ now, in this very special episode of Future Vintage.

PODCAST

We’ve played his music and interviewed him before, but now we’re actually going to record a Future Vintage episode with Stones Throw newest soul artist Mayer Hawthorne. And you can be there. After the first Rush Hour instore we recorded with Dorian Concept and Harmonic 313, Future Vintage will host another instore at our favourite recordshop on august 20th.

This time no futuristic beats, but dusty soul 45’s. Mayer is not going to perform, but brings you, ‘just a DJ set’. And if you listened to the podcasts Mr. Hawthorne did before, you know that’s a must hear. A second soul connaisseur will also play his favourite tunes: DJ Delay from Waxwell Records will present you a  preview of Dutch Flowers – a compilation with Dutch soul, funk and disco that’s in the making.

Be there, have a drink with us and then spend the rest of this thursdaynight at De Duivel, where Delay & Mayer Hawthorne continue till late. Instore: 18.00 – 21.00 Duivel sessions: 22.00 – late Both free!

That was a pretty heavy weekend. While Radna and Melodee were getting their groove on at the Raw Rhythm Festival, I was partying at one of London’s finest clubs called Plastic People, for the Beat Dimensions 2 compilation release party. A heavy one that was indeed, but more on the festival and the release party later on…

This week we invited Jorn Konijn, one of Future Vintage’s steady listners and a collector of 60’s-70’s Brasilian music. For this show he dug in the crates and came up with three bangers from his favorite artist Jorge Bem.
Along side the return of ‘three is the magic number’ we’ve got new tracks by Mocky and Alison Crockett, plus an unknown boogie banger, which will soon be released on the amazing disco / boogie / soul reissue label PPU !
