In the last few weeks we've had a number of talented musicians come to the Mistral studios to perform live sessions which we filmed and recorded in-house. Last week we had the talented Brooklyn singer/songwriter Gabriel Garzon Montano swing by to perform a couple tracks, with him on keys, vocals and a vintage Roland 707 drum machine!
He was in Europe supporting Lenny Kravitz, and as the performance shows, he's a genuine talent so expect his star to rise in 2015. It was a pleasure having him in. Here's the first of two tracks, 'Everything Is Everything' from his fanstastic debut EP/mini album, Bishoune: Alma del Huila on SUS Records. The second performance will drop in January!
And last month we had Cuban force of nature, Dayme Arocena come through to perform her collaboration with Russian producer, Rumskaya. Her debut album is due in early 2015, and we've heard some early mix downs, and it's an incredible record combining Cuban influences with Jazz and Soul. It's particularly remarkable, as it was written and performed by someone so young!
Dayme was in London for the Havana Cultura Mix - The Soundclash album launch party, so in case you missed the summary video, here it is!
We're thrilled to announce that earlier this autumn both Lounge FM in Instanbul (Turkey), and UDance in Shanghai (China), began syndicating Gilles Peterson's weekly Worldwide Shows. Welcome aboard! Three more stations in Africa, Australasia and Asia are due to join the team in coming weeks.
Meanwhile, over on the Worldwide Show's Soundcloud, where we host the exclusive guest-mixes and Premieres after broadcast, we've just passed 250,000 plays a month, so thanks for the support!
If you're a station interested in syndicating the show, get in touch!
Below are a few of the exclusive guest-mixes we premieres on the Worldwide Show, which we then host online afterwards. Enjoy!
In collaboration with Pernod Ricard and Brownswood Recordings, Mistral Productions exec-produced the event coverage of the Havana Cultura Mix - The Soundclash! album launch party, held in Shoreditch in early November. It was quite a night. Check the pictures and video from the night here!
This autumn we were approached to produce an in-flight radio show for New Zealand Air Business Premier customers. The 60 minute show is available on flights between London and Los Angeles, introducing LA to first time visitors, giving them the inside scoop on the movers and shakers of the local music scene, the night life, the record stores and lots more.
