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 Folks.

I started out making mixes for myself to listen to during drives and subway rides. Somewhere along the way, I thought other people might enjoy the music in the mixes as much as I do, so I began posting them. My wish is simply to share what I consider to be really good yet seldom heard music with others.

You'll hear 30 minute mixes that incorporate rare grooves from the past along with the modern sounds of today, and a dash of various flavours--from latin jazz, to disco, to classic rock, to sample-based beat oriented styles and beyond.

Please leave a comment if you like what you are hearing and share this podcast with others.
