I met Paul Jextra in Sydney, thanks to Sacha Mambo who did the connection. Paul is a French dj based in Australia for the last 15 years. He is a dj and a producer. He is a great digger and is particularly skilled in South African music. Him and Mason Mulholand released the Coarsican Ep under the name Caravan in march on Ken Oath recordings, the record has been sold out in a month.  A remix for Heart People, the duo born of former Canyons (Modular / DFA) member Ryan Grieve and model / visual artist Rachel Rutt, is expected on June. There will also be remixes by Andrew Weatherall, Tolouse Low Trax et Mr TC.
He is also mixing the upcoming album Fom OZ producer Isaac Tichauer.

His 716 mix is very pleasant to here, which doesn’t mean those records are easy to get 🙂 Rare stuff except one classic, Sydney vibe in full effect : laid back attitude and deep crate digging, when the underground travels from Australia to France, flying over Africa.

Camin’ is a producer from Saratov, a small provincial town in central Russia. He has been playing music for 4 years. Initially he was very attracted by the experimental English sound, but over time the frames became much wider. Now he’s trying not to stick to any styles.

He is one of the residents of the Russian label “Get busy”  from the city of Kazan. He has also released for
the English label Opal tapes and the Brooklyn-based Dirty tapes. His mix for 716lavie is diverse in terms of musical genres, but homogenic when it comes to the vibe : it starts with dub, then electro, before getting techno, dark ambient, electro, industrial, acid and slowly ending with funky breaks. Masterpiece.

Happy Eastern on 716lavie!

Paul Jextra sends his best vibes from the other side of the world in Sydney : funky rare gems with a tropical/jungle/mystical vibe. Russian Camin’ aka Викентий Беликов goes dark! Dub, Techno, Industrial, Ambient for a groove out of the shades right out from Saratov. The local Parisian Ceints de bakélite concludes with a beautiful & charming spring selection of songs from his 78rpm collection.
