The whole Jazzabossamabocha! series (20 mixes and counting on my mixcloud page mixcloud.com/marc-engels) started as a mixtape project that I recorded on CD’s for a local restaurant. The owner played these mixes for years and (I’m sure) not only when I was eating there. If you happen to be in Brussels, the restaurant is called Le Faubourg Saint Antoine. The food is not too bad, but the owner is a big collector of all things Tintin and he uses his restaurant to display his collection. It’s not that far from the Japanese Tower, the Chinese Pavillion and the Atomium if you want to see some of our more exotic architecture.
Certainly the early mixes were compiled with the idea of having something for everyone, nothing too disturbing and lots of classics. I gradually moved on to more unknown and more recent stuff, like you’ll discover on this number 18. Hope you like it. As I said, there’s more on my mixcloud page and I will upload some other Jazzabossamambocha’s soon. One more thing, the artwork on mixcloud is very different from this more recent design.
