Valentine Comar continues her “Breakfast in…” series, where she invites DJs and collectors from around the world to curate a guest mix under the breakfast theme.
This week, ራሄል (Rachel) cooked up a "Breakfast with a Cool Breeze". This airy, all-vinyl mix encourages openness and movement, like a welcoming wind caressing you as you step outside for the first time of the day.
“The inspiration for this mix was a much-needed bike ride after the sweltering heat of summer finally broke. I was enveloped in this morning breeze that truly breathed life into me, and I wanted to capture that feeling for listening all year long. With selections from Brazil, Ghana, Guadeloupe, and more, I hope this bright, refreshing mix provides you joy wherever you are in the world.” - ራሄል (Rachel)
ራሄል (Rachel) is a New York-based, all-vinyl DJ whose practice is a love letter to the rhythms of the world. She weaves through genres and decades for a deliciously groovy, warm, and dance-forward sound.
As always, Valentine curates a selection around the mix
