Saint Wax Guest Mix

I was asked by Italian DJ / producer GLEDD (also record label boss) to make a mix for his label’s series. If you’re not familiar, do yourself a favor and check out the Saint Wax catalogue- lots of dancefloor gems and heaters! My mix is 70mins, leaning heavily into Afro, Disco, & House, with some Latin and a bit of other trippy Psychedelic sounds blended in as well. Also a couple unreleased edits of mine in here. Enjoy the trip!

    The blend of Afro, disco, house, and Latin sounds makes this mix sound like a great trip, and the unreleased edits are a nice bonus.

    This mix sounds like a great blend of Afro, disco, and house with some Latin and psychedelic touches mixed in. The inclusion of unreleased edits is a nice bonus, and 70 minutes feels like a solid length for a dancefloor-focused set.

Sonido Madera : Mixtape for ZZK Records

“Sonido Madera” is my tribute to the wide breadth of music from around the world that features the marimba, or one of it’s many cousins- the balafon, the xylophone, and the xalaparta among others. I’ve always been naturally attracted to the earthy percussive sound of wood resonating, and it’s become one of the most recurring instruments in my own music production without me even realizing it.

Perhaps it’s partly due to my background as a drummer, growing up in the forest surrounded by trees, or the fact that music highlighting the marimba is often connected to Africa, folkloric roots, and tropical locations which I love. Whatever the case may be, I have a deep appreciation for the sound of wood and the music it makes. This mix is a 70-minute musical world tour, with songs and artists from over 20 countries, including some tracks that date back to the 50’s and others that are brand new releases.

You’ll hear electronic dance music, Afrobeat, Cumbia, Colombian Bullerengue, Malian Disco, Jazz, Salsa, a touch of punk rock and even a cheeky nod to the “Exotica” music which essentially commercialized and re-branded authentic marimba based music for White audiences. There’s also a touch of Txalaparta music which I learned about in Basque Country, Spain, as well as a taste of Jegog music played on bamboo, which I first heard in Bali, Indonesia. Of course there are endless more examples of amazing wood-based music out there, harnessing the powerful voices of trees, and I hope this mix inspires listeners to keep exploring!

    After reading your post “Sonido Madera : Mixtape for ZZK Records”, I realised how often that part gets skipped. The line “Perhaps it’s partly due to my background as a drummer” keeps the argument practical and easy to remember. While working on Fortnite Sprite Checklist, I keep lil uzi vert jr (a Fortnite sprite checklist page for the Lil Uzi Vert Jr skin) in mind as a reminder to get the details right. Looking forward to more posts like this one.

    Your post “Sonido Madera : Mixtape for ZZK Records” gave me something concrete to think about. The line “Perhaps it’s partly due to my background as a drummer” in particular is a good summary of the problem, and the post explains the reasoning instead of only listing steps. While working on noillirk, I keep opposite krillion (a free daily game where you guess the most common answer) in mind as a reminder to get the details right.

    Agree that Once again I’m back with another 60 minutes of eclectic soulful dance music from around th deserves the emphasis; Gospel disco, Brazilian boogie, Indian psychedelic synth grooves, Afro, Latin, M reinforces it. For a short reset, noillirk.app is a daily word-guessing game.

    The mix’s range sounds deliberately sequenced rather than merely eclectic: gospel disco beside Brazilian boogie, Indian psychedelic synth, and house traditions from several regions creates plenty of room for shifts in energy. A 60-minute format is long enough for those transitions to breathe without becoming overwhelming. The idea of music for both a holiday kitchen and a dance floor gives the selection a welcoming radius.

It’s been a long running tradition of mine to make a mix during the dog days of Summer. Something about these hot slow moving lazy weeks, mixed with the saudade of how fast it all passed by, make me feel really reflective & nostalgic. Hope these tunes help capture that mood for you too. 60mins of super eclectic global soul- Brazilian boogie, Balearic, Afrobeats, Afro House, Latin House, Disco and intercontinental vibes.

    The idea of a late-summer mix built around reflection gives the track selection a purpose beyond genre tags. Afrohouse, disco, and house can all carry warmth and movement, while still leaving room for the slower, nostalgic feeling described here. A mix works particularly well for that transition because its sequencing can let the mood shift gradually instead of demanding one fixed emotional note. That sense of pacing is what can make a seasonal listen feel cohesive.
