Minor Notes Recordings

B1. Chivee Gres - Club Pump (snippet) by Minor Notes Recordings

This man has amazed us many times with his taste, ability to find unheard-of rarities and innate radar of dance floor moods. Andrey @manb4 is a modest but very powerful DJ and collector of vinyl records. Member of the team and owner of the Wax Ninja label . Organizer and resident of the multi-genre CRUISE party series, under the auspices of which the music label has recently launched. He started buying his first records back in 2004. Since then, he has managed to collect a rather impressive collection covering the time period from the early 90s to the present day. Andrey's musical taste extends from UK/US House & Garage cargo parties to the broken rhythms of Drum & Bass, Breakbeat Hardcode and Jungle music, through deeper forms of Deep House and Dub Techno. House music is literally in Andrey's blood and therefore it would be a crime not to have his podcast in our collection. Listen right now!

You probably remember and love our "Revnost" release from Moscow producer Gosha Martynov aka @interesnyeoshchushchenia , released last fall. During this time, tracks from it managed to play on BBC Radio 1, get into the mixes of unexpected DJs around the world, and appeared on the charts and playlists of popular streaming sites. Like everyone else, we periodically immerse ourselves in this melancholic-banging atmosphere of the release, and of course we want more of this kind of sound. So we present to you a whole hour of house stuff mixed with Street Soul from the hero-resident of our label! Such a set can be played with pleasure at any time of the day and catch completely different emotions, depending on what exactly the listener wants. The amazing power of music! Get your groove on.

Improvisation in the form, which we love it the most! There is a special position in your music menu today. Podcast from our friend @denis-kazacov - owner of the label @sengileywax and @spaziolabel . Denis is a born A&R, who does not think in styles and genres, but chooses music according to its quality, which is proved by his hour-long mix. There is jazz in the Icelandic reading, hip-hop, house demos of notable domestic producers and unreleases from his imprints. We are glad that you will hear it in our podcast series! Press play immediately!

Happy New Year to everyone! As a gift we present you a wonderful hour of music from our St. Petersburg friend @forgottendiscostar . Tolya is a natural born vinyl digger, trying to surprise his listeners with unobvious diamonds from different styles of music. For Minor Notes, he traditionally dug into the wilds of house music, in which Shazam does not work. So you need to go directly to the author for the playlist!

We met this person more than 10 years ago in VK, in one of the thematic music public sites with rare music of the 70s-80s. Sergei @baster-jazzster has grown a lot during this time, moved from Severodvinsk to Moscow and became a prominent DJ in the digger crowd. He is also a member of the formations Base Movement, Nord Train Disco, 1/2 blog and the label Amateur Exotic. Sometimes he performs under the alter ego of Amateur Exorcist, playing outlandish music. Surprisingly, the selection of northern Pomeranian bloodlines, using the example of Seryozha, reveals its most tropical side. Funk, soul, balearic, disco, boogie and more modern dance genres. For us, Baster Jazzster has put together a house (of course) mix that demonstrates his taste preferences and deep knowledge of music very well. If you want to transfer to his set live - visit Moscow venues like Powerhouse, Enthusiast, Flaner more often, and also follow the broadcasts of our friends @testfm_radio.

Number 28! Prepared with a big love from our friend Kostya Goldynsky who is vinyl digger, great dj, sound designer & hardware junkie from Moscow. He is more into old school electro, underground disco, protohouse & breakbeat, but for us he collected and mixed perfect hour of passion. In this mix you can hear fresh summer vibes, women smiles and UK style of djing! Be ready for a long teasing from @goldynsky himself!

We love to share new names with you. Once upon a time we met Denis aka @deeoxid in a Noor Bar on our party. Since that time Denis shared with us his new mixtape and we asked him to present it as Minor Notes Podcast. Fortunately, this offer was accepted! Take care of you guys. Be ready for some deep, soulful and disco club house all over the hour. Video version: https://youtu.be/l9mGvEYix_I @deeoxid is based in Voronezh. Collecting some dance stuff on vinyl and playing along local clubs his world was changed. After this he moved to London and launched his label MDMA (Ministry of Dance Music Art) to release dancefloor oriented music. Not a surprise that Denis is dj in demand, but he is making big steps in production. You can try his remix for legendary A-Studio's collective track "Diskoteka" on their upcoming album. No more words. We are going to the house! All tracks are vinyl btw!

We love it when guests of our podcast series get into a sound close to Minor Notes in their mixes. In number 25, this turned out to be surprisingly accurate. And @panfilov recorded it for us. DJ, resident of the NII and a frequent guest of the Propaganda club, participant of local festivals and music curator of LUCH parties. He regularly turns out to be at the turntables in the Moscow clubs and bars, and in 2015 he has a gig in Manchester. You can also meet him at various events as a photographer. Get ready for 1.5 hours of real deep house music from an interesting selector with serious experience.
