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 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 [...]

long sunny days

Solely instrumentals, I’m Not A Gun is the collaboration of John Tejada on the drums and electronics, and Takeshi Nishimoto on guitar. Mood music without being moody, their sound is contemporary [...]

Onsomeothablowurknowzesh*!
I have been delinquent on this blog for a minute now. It’s been a time of moving and changing. Moving residence, changing focus, adapting to the new and foraging amongst the old. Searching for that timelessness. So, several mixes are in order. First up in honor of mothers everywhere, but especially my own, is a [...]

New Year, New Day, New Music
And lots of older music too. Though perhaps not that old. Just a great selection of music to get you through the day, or set off your evening. Downtempo, jazz, indie disco, electronic, Latin, French, rock, reggae, lullabies, and even a Xmas selection which isn’t at all schmaltzy. La la la. Beauty and imagination. It’s [...]

Autumn Leaves Pt. 2
It’s been a long couple of weeks grinding at my job. Long days, long nights. It always is this time of year. Tired back, aching shoulders at times, and my focus solely on what’s right in front of me. Usually I’d have more of my attention diverted towards music and thinking about what I’d like [...]
