Melodee is back from holiday, and also 2 of our favourite DJ’s are making a comeback. In the first hour Boye (Kindred Spirits) plays a selection of jazz, soul, B52’s and Theo Parrish, and in the second hour DJ Lefto (Studio Brussel / Gilles Peterson Worldwide) gives an update on what’s happening in Brussels and plays exclusives by Flying Lotus, Mayer Hawthorne and many others. Also make sure to check out Lefto’s own radioshow, that he’s doing for 11 years already. PS: Here’s Dimlite live on Viral Radio playing his remake of Diana in the autumn wind.

The studio is working again! Because the annual 5 days off festival is around the corner, we already played some favourites by artists that will perform in Amsterdam, such as MF Doom, Floating Points and Linkwood. But first we’re looking forward to Disco3000 feat. Theo Parrish, IF and Anthony ‘Shake’ Shakir this Friday. You can even win 2 tickets for that, if you e-mail the correct answer to our improvised question before Thursday. We’re not talking much, Melodee is still on holiday, so it’s just Radna & Reinier playing proper music, future vintage style.

PS: as promised in the show, a link to more music by Baths.

New music by American Men, Jose James, Dimlite and Erykah Badu – it’s all in this show that alsmost didn’t happen. Arriving at the studio we found out the server exploded (!) and all the equipment has to be fixed. So we postponed our special guest for a later show, but to didn’t leave you empty-handed, we still made a one hour Future Vintage selection. No Melodee (she’s on holiday), no good mic (it’s Radna who speaks in her crackling laptop after just waking up), but simply great music (thanks Reinier). So, tune in!

After the first hour with new music from London, Brussels and Amsterdam, we welcome our special guest Thomas Martojo from the Dekmantel crew. In 3 years time Dekmantel evolved from small parties at club NL to sold out events at Paradiso, a booking agency and a recordlabel. With a focus on the underground of house, disco and techno, Dekmantel booked a lot of legendary artists such as Moodymann, Maurice Fulton and Rahaan. This friday they host a party with Lil’ Louis from Chicago. Hear more about it in the second hour of the show, when Thomas Martojo, one of Dekmantel’s founders, is playing a strictly vinyl set.

It’s still cold and snowy here, so we thought it was time to warm you up with soothing soul, melancholic songs and dreamy instrumentals. But also some uplifting disco vibes and energetic tracks by Lone and Joy Orbinson. And ofcourse, we can’t forget a little tribute to Willie Mitchell, producer of classic Al Green tracks and much more soul released on Hi-Records.

We decided to celebrate the end of 2009 with a little party in our new cosy studio. Recorded on Christmas Eve (with some wine, cheese and kerstkransjes) 4 DJ’s got carte blanche to play their favourite songs of 2009, obscure christmas songs and even their own productions. First up is INT, producer of La Melodia, who’s also working on solo-projects and presents you a Christmas Wonderland. Second DJ playing is Reinier, the newest member of the Future Vintage family. Our third guest is Job de Wit, allround music journalist, former VPRO radio host and now also a club DJ,  who’s specialised in disco music. Number four is Tom Trago, the original DJ of Future Vintage from 2007, who released his first solo album Voyage Direct last year. So there you have it: 2 hours of beats, disco, soul, jazz, & funk selected by four tastemakers. Happy new year!

Shoutout to DJ Thelonious (Strange Fruit) for playing the records and bringing Rotterdam tracks, Samira who keeps us updated on the London music scene, Reinier for  recording and making pictures, Jorn and the whole NAi crew for inviting us, and Martijn and Neville for passing by.

Isn’t this the best piece of art on the FutureVintage blog ever? Thank you Mamiko for vogueing up this picture. If you look behind the evil eye and lipstick, it’s actually Mamiko Motto & me standing in front of the Volkskrant gebouw in Amsterdam, on a warm summernight in August. We just got finished recording Hepcat Radio 011, that’s now finally online. I was very honoured when Mamiko asked me to select the music for this episode, since the Hepcat Radio series featured guests like Hudson Mohawke, Dorian Concept and Aardvarck. But actually one of my favourites is HCR05 with Gerry O’Rourke and Nick Lawrence – make sure to get the podcast at Bitmap.TV

Mamiko Motto was our guest DJ at some classic Future Vintage episodes and also was a big inspiration for me to continue with radio, mainly because she’s so passionate about it. Now she moved to London, she’s truly missed in Amsterdam, but her future is shining brighter than ever. It’s funny to hear us talk about Museum Night (in the looong interview at the end) and now knowing Mamiko will compile a soundtrack for the opening. Let’s listen to some music:
