🎵 Please join us for 'World of Echoes', my next stream which will happen this Sunday April 13, 2025 on mixcloud.com/live/fknyc starting at 3PM EST (20:00 GMT, 21:00 CET, 04:00 Japan). A reminder that Mixcloud comes with lovely audio quality for a more immersive session!

Fictitious History can leave a smile on our faces.

A truly fantastic song every way you cut it.

[Daily Dose of Disco #88] Billy Nichols "Give Your Body Up (To The Music)" (1979) Big Larry Levan remix and a Garage anthem, he would always start the record from the middle (video is cued up to that exact spot) to get the energy rush from that mad percussion. Essential! youtu.be/cl3YD5fWjUE?...

The message never grows old, in fact as relevant as ever!

Time to pay our respects to one of our most beloved musical heroes.

This should be a fun listen for those who may have missed this past Sunday's stream to Mixcloud.

For those who love their Basic Channel (since that duo's self-imposed exile from making any more records), this should hold you over for a good bit. An ace tip of the hat to the original by Mr Fingers, down to including a snippet of the Chuck Roberts acapella. omunit.bandcamp.com/track/can-yo...

Very deserving of being listened to... it's got all of the good stuff. Dark and moody atmospheres, deep grime, swinging beats. Murdah stylee....

Interesting topic to discuss, how many 'Live' albums were in fact studio recordings that had audience dubbed in later for added effect? Borderline entries include the much-beloved "Fela & Ginger Baker Live", and "Voodoo Child" from Electric Ladyland where a small studio audience was in fact present

For those who don't mind being digital crate-diggers, here is a wonderful feature about Library Music at Bandcamp. It's a whole separate world (income was mainly derived from TV and movie licensing) but there are many incredible composers who deserve being heard. daily.bandcamp.com/lists/librar...

What a great gesture!

Always welcoming those who appreciate the singular genius of Arthur Russell, patron saint for the 'World of Echoes' namesake group we created five years ago! Music with layer upon layer of meaning one can never tire of listening to and getting inspired by. 🎶

Wonderful article entitled 'Vinylogue' from Discogs going into details about Brazilian sensation DJ Marky's passion for music and collecting vinyl. It also offers some thoughts on his trailblazing career behind the decks as a leading exponent of Drum&Bass. www.discogs.com/digs/feature...

Confused about the state of digital art, and how creators currently incorporate new machine learning tools into their workflow? From noted artist Claire Silver, here's a real good explanation, essential reading straight from an acknowledged expert in the field. Tirelessly clearing up misconceptions

Here are some of the rules originally created by Sister Korita Kent and adopted by John Cage, laid out for the students as well as teachers at the Merce Cunnigham Studio. Well worth considering and meditating on.

For those who may not be aware, right on the heels of their documentary, jazz and funk legends Cymande have a new album full of goodies. This cut is definitely worthy of attention for anyone who loves earthy rare groove and jazzy vibes. youtu.be/pONnhfEUjI4

It takes a producer or a real musician to be aware of the specific powers of each instrument. Who knew that acoustic bass could be useful for uncooperative subjects during an interrogation? #meme #dadjoke #humour (courtesy Ron Carter)

🪩 Mirror balls are nowadays often overlooked by many club lighting designers, as they push for fancy robotic lighting instead. Yet they remain an unequaled way to set a vibe on the dance floor. They can be found in many clubs all over, and never cease to dazzle us. Share any photos you have here!

[CRINGE] This article talks about a war robot that was programmed to simulate the hand motions of a modern DJ by making it 'play' a set (of music pre-selected by human) Convince enough people that it's cute, so they won't mind when it's sent to go on killing rampages? www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

Short-lived NYC 'zine gets a re-release. You can now buy all 10 issues of 'THING', a trendy early 90s magazine published by Robert Ford that deserves to be read. It mainly covered the culture of the Black Queer underground, and definitely worth it! ESSENTIAL! primaryinformation.org/product/thing/

For those into 90s house, there were these incredible compilations put out by Watts Music's "Harry The Bastard". A WoE member recently asked what was up with him, and sure enough Harry himself replies and gives our astonished readers an update on his whereabouts (New Zealand)! Gotta love it!

For those who are in the NYC area, this Saturday should be an event well worth attending in person. Get your dance on! #community #musicismylife #dance

So very cool to see many of those getting props in this long-overdue article being members of our online community 'World of Echoes' (on FB). We're glad to see so many key players of this scene getting their flowers! It goes without saying that NYC is actually enjoying a renaissance of sorts!

F.A.O. All DJs and Producers who use DAWs to make music. Stay alert and vigilant at all times, especially when playing festivals! Audience members with enhanced hearing™ can often get extremely fickle and literally riot over minor sonic imperfections. (Repost from A Guy Called Gerald on IG)

Who can name the different #disco DJs in this vintage photo used for a recent ad for Bozak rotary mixers? Bonus points: where did the photo originate from?

Famed #disco DJ Jim Burgess retired from DJing in 1981 to focus on what he loved most: being an opera singer. Saint lightman Richard Tucker reminisces about Burgess' singular career and how large his influence loomed. (from our WoE private group on FB)

[Periodic Table of The DJ] For those of you who like to squint, here's a perfect opportunity to spend hours trying to figure out the names. We also included a link to a very high-resolution version of it. i2.wp.com/artmisfit.co...

Good bit of wisdom from @carlcraignet.bsky.social Care to comment on this?

Here comes a topic for DJs which has been getting a good bit of traction in the FB group.

World of Echoes was the name of @francoisknyc.bsky.social's mix show on WorldwideFM. It has evolved into an online community of open-minded music lovers who have been gathering (Facebook, Discord) for over 5 years. The content posted here will often be curated picks originating from the group.
