Straight into the groove with this one - kicking off with some big cadence hits from the Guadelopian Islands, continuing the good vibes with a few afro-latin tracks and some more modern from the Names You Can Trust Label. Second hour is a vinyl set starting with Dorothy Ashby and ending with Parliament - a whole lot of good stuff in between. A brief tribute to afrobeat legend and experimentalist Tony Allen. Voila.
Yet another isolation mix from the bedroom! Taking flight nice and slow, beginning with some latin soul, moroccan grooves and into some disco. Second hour you can expect the heat - kicking off with some trax for MM’s Birthday, a bit of Salt ’n’ Peppa and Queen Latifah before moving into some new Yaeji. Enjoy!
