Camille's Mixtape

This month we asked Camille from the Rosa Vertov Collective to create a mixtape for Radio Bongo. From Camille: “This compilation gathers the songs that have been stuck in my head in recent weeks (and some already there since several years). It brings together collectives with multiple projects, solo projets or ephemeral collaborations. It mixes melancholic Hungarian pop, the dissonant and heady sound of the post punk era as well as french 60’s songs, all songs carried by the desire of transgression and spontaneous experimentation”

Suzy's mixtape

Suzy is one of the co-founder of Atomic Bongos. She used to be a DJ at KDVS in Sacramento and is currently playing Saxophone is Two Apes.
From Suzy: Some of these songs I’ve been listening to for a decade, others I only discovered recently. When I hear something that makes my knees weak I’ll save it right away on a playlist. This mix features the songs on that playlist I’ve recently been listening to the most. It’s a bit all over the place, starting with Belgian Soul and truly powerful drumming by Zambian Psych Rock great Musi O Tunya. Nora Dean’s Ay Ay Ay follows and her enchanting voice and tropical bird sounds transition us to some beach time Surf tunes that I love. There’s a song by minstrel show performer and falsetto master Emmett Miller, and some lovely old timey country songs that warm the soul. The mix ends with some charming Australian post punk and some cold electronic sounds to guide us into the future.
