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

On this week’s podcast: hiphop, brazilian, rare grooves, deep house

We start out with indie hiphop producer extraordinaire, Madlib, and another one of his crazy beats, then follow it up with more beats from a track off Moonstarr’s latest (and super dope) called ‘Break It Down’. After that, it’s a mashup that blends sweet soul from the legendary Marvin Gaye with a revivalist brass band that covered Gaye’s classic ‘Sexual Healing’ last year.

Then we move into some killer Brazilian heat, with grooves by the likes of Antonio Adolfo, Trio Mocoto, Claudette Soares, and Sergio Mendes. Next up, we hear one of my all-time favourite rare groovers by a group called Pamoja, which then sets up a track called ‘Sound & Vision’ that has been stuck in my head because of a Rhapsody commercial I keep catching.

We then come to a close with some great deep house—some old tracks, and some brand new.

Enjoy!

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.
