Brian Not Brian - Idle Fantasy by Idle Cellars published on 2021-12-17T18:42:18Z Next up on @idlecellars mix series is a beautiful mix from @briannotbrian. His history is firmly rooted in his hometown of Belfast, Northern Ireland. Residencies and guest spots in the city's most respected hip-hop, funk, soul and disco nights throughout the mid to late 90's saw him broaden his tastes and cement his skills as a seasoned selector. It was the spirit of growing up in Northern Ireland and his experiences in Belfast that saw him bring his own style and flavor to London at the turn of the millenium. Starting from scratch, obsessively digging, buying records and building new relationships in the metropolis gave Brian the opportunity to put on lots of parties and DJ alongside his friends and eventually his heroes. It also helped that he was putting in shifts behind the counters of the city's premier record spots including: MVE, Phonica, Kristina and Rye Wax. Armed with a heavyweight record collection and a solid crew of close musical friends, Brian co-ran the now infamous, musically open and freestyle minded 'Special Needs' parties that lasted almost 8 years at various venues around the city. In more recent times Brian has traveled the world playing music with gigs in Australia, Brazil, the USA and Canada as well as regular trips all over the UK and Europe. These global excursions have no doubt been bolstered by the record label that Brian set up with his longtime friend Salik Z - Going Good. An open-minded and sonically adventurous imprint that has achieved worldwide acclaim. Brian continues to play music far and wide with sets at festivals like Dekmantel, Meadows In The Mountains, Farr Festival and a yearly residency at Kala Festival in Albania. With a deep collection of eclectic music, knowledge and skills to match, Brian has a thirst for sounds of all kinds and enjoys joining often disparate dots and connections between records. This special mix for Idle Cellars is intended to evoke that late night / early morning feel, a selection of new finds, old faves and even some unreleased gems..... probably best listened to outside, on a good system and with a drink in hand ✨🍷✨ 📸 licensed by @victorrcostta Comment by User 460992804 so so so good 2023-10-06T20:58:41Z Comment by Komneni arthur <3 2022-12-28T13:32:42Z Comment by vovahok Vibe 🌊☀️ 2022-08-03T21:32:01Z Comment by ~o~ TUNE 2022-03-17T17:22:50Z Comment by Phil_Mill sick 2022-01-14T22:12:18Z Comment by Abigail_Ward_DJ Brilliant as always! 2021-12-28T13:36:03Z Comment by ELEKTRAUM Very nice mix !
