#038 NJR Hosts Suerta
@suerta is an Italian DJ who lives in London. The city and its multifaceted communities have deeply forged his musical taste. He plays only vinyl records: such a self imposed “limitation” encourages him to be out and about in record stores, charity shops and flea markets and talk to people about certain sounds that he’s searching for. He developed a special interest in diasporic and non-Western musics through his academic education in ethnomusicology. "Here is a nice and easy one-take vinyl-only mixtape of smooth goodness. I love to think about it as a flirting tool you would play in your car while taking your lover on a night trip, leaving the city to the fresh and quiet countryside. The mixtape includes the seductive groove of late 70s / early 80s American jazz/funk and boogie/pop, the intriguing strut of MPB and modern yet impure Afrobeat, South African and Antillean numbers that will run through your epidermis, French music for astronauts in love and Italian honey for your tongue".
