Tracklist/Description: Carnaval Sessions #17 opens with the elegant, soul-soaked sounds of Melchior Sultana @melchiorsultana and Kid Fonque @kidfonque — a perfect welcome into the warm current of this week's mix. We close the journey with two deep, hypnotic new releases from Black Chynese @mandla-luu on @housesaladmusic: ๐ Black Chynese - Groove Momentum - House Salad Music ๐ Black Chynese - When It Happens - House Salad Music Lately, I've been reading Strange Weather in Tokyo by Hiromi Kawakami, and its quiet, melancholic beauty has found its way into the mood of this set. There’s a line that lingered with me: “It’s strange how in dreams, you end up thinking things you’d never think in real life.” I think that’s what music does too — invites us into new dreams, new thoughts, new places within ourselves. So… what book are you reading right now? Let’s share stories — in sound and on paper. ๐ ๐ The name Carnaval Sessions comes from a personal journey inspired by Haruki Murakami’s visit to Copenhagen, where he read the story Carnaval from First Person Singular. This sparked a deeper connection, leading me to explore Schumann’s Carnaval, performed by Rubinstein, as mentioned in the story. Just like how Murakami’s tale weaves together music and introspection, this show delves into the mysteries that music uncovers. Through sound, we transcend the everyday and enter a world where our dreams, thoughts, and fantasies come to life. https://ift.tt/ICK61jx
