Radio Isaura Presents Many Moods

Breaking news! Radio Isaura mixes have rebranded as Many Moods! For the first installment, Radio Isaura head Jo La Tengo provides a hour long all vinyl mix of smooth downtempo balearic chillers and chuggers. SPF30 for your ears. Vibe and imbibe ⛲️

Be sure to follow on soundcloud as well! 

back with another guest mix and this one is from the homie Randy Ellis! Randy, with his partner The Alaia, run CQQL Records here in Los Angeles. CQQL is a "sequel" to the ethos of past decades' disco, boogie, AOR, funk, house, soul and r&b. Randy has definitely brought this ethos to the mix he's crafted for radio isaura. In just under 40 min we're taken on a balearic funk n soul journey bright in the corners with italo and street soul vibes.

be sure to catch Randy Ellis and The Alaia every 4th friday for their radio isaura residency, 𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘥, at the newly opened The Let's Go! Disco in arts district. 

tune in, zone out and enjoy ⛲️ 

today is the one year anniversary of radio isaura!!! I can't believe it's already been a year and in the same breath it's kinda crazy it's only been a year. thanks to those who have listened since the beginning. your support means so much! if you're new or joined not that long ago, thank you for being here and I hope you enjoy all that is to come.

for this mix, I was gonna go classic radio isaura and just select songs. I pulled a ton of records - new and old. I started off the mix with this Japanese balearic stoner jam and was just gonna select throughout when I realized it was 110 bpm and I thought  "well what else is lying around that's 110?" it's a slippery slope and I ended up improvising all the blends in this mix and ignoring every record I had initially pulled. was pulling records while the tracks were playing and selecting songs I didn't really know. really hearing them for the first time while spinning. turned out to be one of my fav mixes I've done. completely improvised and as always 100% vinyl. 

I hope you dig and thank you for listening ⛲️

happy new year! 2023 is here and so is the first mix of the year. this one is spanning lots of my favs right now. edits of obscure italo, arabic, spanish, turkish and israeli disco, house and new beat. oof. seriously some of my fav records at the moment. rinse and repeat. as always this mix is 100% vinyl and mixed in one take. hope ya dig ⛲️

and if you wanna hear these cuts in person head to the newly opened let's go disco and cocktail club in art district! I'm there every thurs with my radio isaura weekly ANALOG FRUIT 🐯

this one will get you cozy with some kind of smoke, less lights more pillows. some of these are journeys. you'll enjoy where they take you. all vinyls ⛲️

this might be the most laid back radio isaura episode yet. been caught up trying to dig for the best Italo 12s I can find and dialing in my mixing skills but for this I just wanted to get back to selecting songs I really love. woke up some records that have been cat nappin' on the shelf.  felt good to see them again.  of course there's new friends as well. all here in a hour 40 vinyl mix. one take and no edits. best to throw it on and forget you did ⛲️
