Aset's Podcast

Cenk Enhoş (aka Jöntürk) was born in Istanbul. Soon after his early studies he moved to Canada to continue his education, where he bought his first record and continues to do so passionately in many different realms of music. Trying to touch on many different genres, he chooses to center his interest in Jazz and Nujazz, later on blending this with Afro-Latin beats and finally experimenting altogether with the electronic sounds of the future generation. After his early Djing experiences in various venues in Canada, he moved to Shanghai/China, where he had two residencies and maintained guest shows for four years. Currently he lives in Istanbul and continues to spread the love playing records.This selection can be considered as a tribute to NuJazz and especially to Schema records.Enjoy!!! <a href="http://dowtongcast.podomatic.com/player/web/2010-02-20T10_58_20-08_00" onclick="window.open(this.href,'podOplayer','toolbar=1,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=640,height=485');return false;" style="border: 0pt none ;" target="podOplayer" title=""><img alt="[PLAY]" src="http://www.podomatic.com/mymedia/thumb/1211608/0x0_1890471.png"> Tracklist: S-Tone Inc - Negro - Schema 12'' Føn:Kïn Feat.

Here we have a genuine rap podcast. But, is it just about rap? Talking about a rap session would be like talking about music because we know how this really means talking about an immensity of musical genres, families and historical moments. In other words, a world as diverse and individual as each listener might be. And this is exactly what transpires this delicious podcast, signed by someone who has made signature and imagination his artistic reason to be: Posk. I invite you to visit his Myspace to understand why good taste does not download from Emule. It’s 14 tracks which repeat some of the artists upfront and behind to build a walk of personal tastes (Posk’s, obviously) and also a way to understand rap music (what some tacky people would call “alternative”), related to high doses of musicality and whispering more than shouting. In other words, starting off with Little Brother is a statement in complicities, and closing down with Pharcyde too. It’s talking about intelligence, own discourse and unique concepts which added to the ones from Tribe Called Quest, Dream Warriors or Funkdoobiest talk about a lot of things, other music, and eventually good times in hip hop key. And that is a true bliss. <a href="http://dowtongcast.podomatic.com/player/web/2010-01-13T03_19_00-08_00" onclick="window.open(this.href,'podOplayer','toolbar=1,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=1,menubar=0,resizable=1,width=640,height=485');return false;" style="border: 0pt none ;" target="podOplayer" title=""><img alt="[PLAY]" src="http://www.podomatic.com/mymedia/thumb/1211608/0x0_1890471.png"> Little brother - Home Son doobie - Wonderful world A tribe called quest - Find the way Funkdoobiest - Funk´s on me Naugthy by nature - Fell me flow Little brother - Wathever you say Funkdoobiest - The Anthem A tribe called quest - Hot 4 you Little brother - Star ship Dream Warriors - California dream Onyx - Last dayz Dj Krush feat Mos def - From dj.krush The Pharcyde (Jay dee remix) - She said The Pharcyde - Clouds

Pieces that either for their religious conviction, intimacy or their sense of spiritual epic achieve to spread into us great humanity and delicacy (beyond or not its religiopus or political creeds). A work that remains active in groups like Bulid An Ark or the hugely unknown Chris Joris, and the exceptional saxophonist Ear Anderza who was well worth a single labum: Outa Sight. Souls in transit for awaken ears.

A real struggle (for them) but an ultimate joy for the music lovers in the Spanish capital, since they have brought a first class selection of artists from all around the world, and they still are with a new location for various activities in the Club Charada. This context is necessary in the sense of the selection created for Dowtong by Focuz: being the host and regular opener of their sessions he has cooked for us a romantic, mellow but firm menu. Blue skies, high spirits: just what we love about Madrid. In the memory of soulful beats and alchemy stablished by the late J Dilla the tracks summoned here inspire and elevate an ordinary journey into the lights and shadows of an urban life. From the sweet tales of love and broken hearts by the revisionist Mayer Hawthorne to the 80's fulled synths by Dâm Funk, and no less than eight tracks by Dilla's own creations this caribbean rose comes full of flesh and bones.

Summer comes and my mind travels to a different reality. A time for soulspiration, daydreaming, memories from the future and birth from the past. Everything turns natural and innocent: but we are not. Our mind continues with the recurrent flow of music and thought, and we look ahead for some precious time for detail listening. Headphones on, brains clicked in and open hearts. This selection blows out like a watermelon jam, hopefully in order and taste. Present and past connected by “dog-knows” what: probably only me. These are a bunch of songs I would take with me with a certain sense of a playlist, or a beachside suite (note I avoided the obvious chill out, reggae, cocktail house tracks). From the amazing favorite Danish locos Analogik and their must have live album, we sail through tasty French waters in the savoir faire hands of Chinese Man and Dj Cam: two excellent examples of why hip-hop does not suck in France. And 40 winks push on with the European edge: clean instrumentals which do not sacrifice quality aspirations. And I am the first one to amaze myself linking to the Kruder & dorfmeister remix of Beanfield to finally detach ourselves from the downtempo gardens. How? Cut to the amazing Suite For Ma Dukes’ EP created by Carlos Niño and Miguel Atwood. Strings and pure emotion to open a certain interlude in our walk. I’m a big fan of the big band (although that line sounds like a joke). Bob Mintzer has dedicated a big chunk of his career to build a sound of pure brass and funk with his big band. “Minuano”, a classic by Pat Metheny is translated into words and voice by Mister Kurt Elling –what a vooooice -. Then comes another slice of European mastery: Jimi Tenor. And although his new project with Kabu Kabu is a sort of cosmic afro scapade his heart remains rooted in Sun Ra and fun dark jazz. So, how do I move from Finland to forro lover Dj Dolores in Brazil? Contrast and my poor altered mind. But I truly adore Dolores’ global taste for bastard Brazilian music away from easy samba. His tracks seem to be perfedct for any session or list where you need to change tone radically. And so funny! So for a moment a lay down a couple of smooth mixes with my latest sunny soul track: “The Difference” from 2009’s discovery, Smoove & Turrell. And then Leon Ware from his overlooked latest album Moon Ride. Time for the last push: Greyboy’s track leads the way to a sort of suburbia jazz, soul and rap finale. Jazzliberatorz are one of the top jazz&rap recipes who have remained true to the original sound with such delicacy and style that few others have achieved. And dirty Diggers with Nostalia 77 are just mad and funny: bad boys with brass. The end to the sound of miles Davis’ “So What” in the original result created by the guests in bob Belden’s project miles From India. Pass me the marmalade honey!
