FRIENDSHIP CLUB #4 - MASSTROPICAS

Michael Pigott is a fellow Pittsfield, MA resident who runs the small Americas-spanning label MASSTROPICAS (who brought you that El Hombre Orquesta tape which, by the way, is still available through the OESB Shoppe).

I first met Mike around when his awesome Green Mansions LP dropped last year. I went over his house, picked up a copy and listened to him play records for like an hour. Joe Meek and Black Randy and Peruvian records I had never dreamt of. This mix is culled from his immense collection of LPs and 45s, all vinyl rips of mostly bubblegum and exotica and weird pop I've never heard before. I urge you to listen to the whole thing, it's truly fantastic. Especially the Sensations Fix track. Shit's killer.

Green Mansions is Mike's collaboration with Peter Bonneman. Look out for some more of their music to be released sometime soon, as well as some live performances this summer. Sample some of those jams HERE.
