It was a slow day yesterday in all the best ways. Leftovers from the feast on Thursday, friends stopping through to share light and being, and great music playing in the back. Mr. Oakland was digging this mix I did a couple weeks ago, so here it is. Several of the artists are definitely worth [...]

Real Radio: September 2011
The excitement of contemplation. A taste of change. The touch of new. The feel of nostalgia. It’s the coming of fall, autumn, cooler skies and nights. Another trip nearing its year around the sun. From bursting colors to stark black, the days move quick and thoughts slow just enough to capture the moments passing. Real [...]

KALX Shortwave August 2011
I was asked by KALX, Berkeley’s DJ Rawman to curate a show for the Shortwave Hour he hosts each 1st and 3rd Monday at midnight on Sunday. The time happened to fall this last week as July fell into August. What a treat! It’s almost an oddity to play these tracks back to back as [...]

Real Radio July 2011
Kicking off this month’s mix is Clams Casino. Already a highly sought after producer in the southern rap scene (Soulja Boy, Lil B), his new EP finds him exploring the hazy beatscapes with twisted samples and analog synth textures in line with the finest post Dilla beatsmiths. Lukid, Onra, Oddisee and of course Dilla all [...]

Real Radio June 2011
Summer, summer, summertime. Warm sounds for an afternoon or getting on the good foot for the night. Fatima’s first EP features great production from Floating Points (a fav of mine) with tracks ranging from downtempo haze to R&B and jazz influenced ambience. Can’t wait to hear more. Moodymann’s Black Mahogonie project is pure class with [...]

Real Radio: April 2011
I’ve been on hiatus from posting for many months now, so I’ve got a lot of music to get up here. Let’s start with some recent (and a touch of older for good measure). This first re-installment of the series is something like the transition of winter into spring. Cold nights spent inside with glimpses [...]

Loads of great music being released these days. Here are some recent selections worth giving a listen. Soundway Records’ great compilation of Nigerian 70′s rock starts things off. Jose James puts jazz into the groove for a contemporary stepper oozing soul. Dimlite has a new LP on the Now Again label filled with broken machine [...]

MFN: Mua Friday Night 07/09
“Midnite Marauders” was great fun last week. DJ heyLove and I had a blast throwing down old school to new, soulful jams of all sorts and booming beats. Can’t wait for next month! This week joining the MFN djs for the second time is DJ Hector. He came in and lit it up last month. [...]
