Back in the deep, bleak, pandemic dog days, Be With Records struck a deal with the legendary Parisian library music catalog, Tele Music to reissue the very best, most sought-after LPs in the catalog. With much of this music now commercially available for the first time, the series of albums recently reissued presents an expansive grip of heavy funk, drama-jazz, deep disco, synth-wave, psych-rock, cosmic soul and beyond.
Following several years of intense work producing these – so far – 12 vital reissues, Be With founder Rob Butler decided to helm a selection of the cream of the Tele Music catalog for this exclusive Aquarium Drunkard mix. Cut live in one take, using all vinyl at Be With’s Manchester HQ, he selected some of Tele Music’s most crucial tracks for an incisive 80 minute DJ mix.
We appreciate it can be overwhelming if you’re new to these incredible cult classics so we’ve picked out all the fire and synthesized them into a flowing selection for this mix. In fact, there’s so much unmitigated heat, we’re going to have to do this mix in 3 parts. Here’s Part I…”
