Episode #031 - Soul On Your Side

Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City...

This week, we get you up and out of your seat with some party music all the way through, starting with a re-edit of an underground club classic by the Rhythm Makers.

Then we get into some disco-reggae--at least that's what it sounds like to me--and follow up with some David Holmes soundtrack ish before getting dirty with Francis Lai and Crystal Mansion. Big big tunes!

The next 4 or so tracks are all bangers of the funk and soul variety. I don't know why I didn't play these out sooner in earlier episodes. But I digress...

We then get into some new stuff by Budos Band and an alternative hiphop joint by Smoove before Asayake drop a beat-heavy jazzyloop, and David Holmes returns for another dope soundtrack jaunt, as Rube closes it out with a wicked jazzed out party tune.

Episode #030 - Free Wheel

Welcome to another episode of Sounding Out The City...

This week, we start things off with a deep Afrobeat track with a hiphop sensibility from the mighty Budos Band off their new LP on the Daptone label. A Nico Gomez latin classic with a touch of psyche is next, followed by a familiar dubby loop, and Madlib's bollywood inspired hiphop instro.

We then get into a wicked bluesy R&B/soul funk nugget by John Fitch, a Sharon Jones deep funk headnodder, followed by a Syl Johnson goody before we dip into some old school hiphop with a twist.

Kid Gusto and Dusty Springfield set up what is (for me) a big tune called "Valerie" by Mark Ronson, featuring Amy Winehouse's signature voice. Then we get into a wicked and slightly dubby funk re-edit by the Barrio Katz. Essential stuff!

We close it out with a legendary accoustic guitar and breaks classic by Hard Meat, then one of my all time faves by Bill Withers before Cookie Woodson draws things to an end with a sweet soul track called "I'll Be True". The summer is definitely here.
