Musikalischer Jahresrückblick 2020
Die DIY-Ecke Papa Jay's Splendid Picks Das Zusammenstellen der "Papa Jay's Splendid Picks" Compilations/Playlisten macht großen Spaß und wurde heuer im Rahmen der zeitlichen Möglichkeiten fortgesetzt.

Papa Jay’s Splendid Picks: Yo La Tengo
With a carreer spanning over more than 30 years Yo-La Tengo made it somewhat difficult to create “Splendid Picks” compilation. After some thinking I decided to lean a bit towards their more accessible songs taken from their albums/EPs “Fakebook”, “May I Swing With Me”, "Upside-Down EP", “Painful”, "Shaker EP", “Electr-O-Pura”, “I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One”, “Summer Sun”, “I’m Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass”, “Popular Songs”, “Fade”, Stuff Like That There” and “There’s a Riot Going On”.

Papa Jay In The Mix – Progressive By Nature – Volume 6
- 2020 - Volume 6 of the "Progressive By Nature" series was mixed mid-2020 after the first wave of the Corona-Lockdowns. The mix starts very relaxed with nice grooves by Shaun Reeves & Tale Of Us, VieL, Hraach and Maxi Degrassi. After those rolling basslines and subtle melodies the set gets a bit tighter with tracks from Kora & Wuachuma and a deep remix of Li-Polymer. Two Originals from Kaspar Tasane and After Burn pay bit of a tribute to my passion for trance music back in the days. A great remix from The Wash and[...]
