This week on The Swap Meet, we’re joined by Leon D, probably the busiest DJ in town. His selections were the perfect soundtrack to a warm Auckland evening — from Theo Parrish’s rework of Jill Scott’s “Slowly Surely” to the Stepney classic “I Am the Black Gold of the Sun”, Barry White, Metro Area and ESG, tracing a line through dusty disco, boogie and proto-house.
Earlier, a quiet salute to D’Angelo: deep cuts like “Really Love” (Questlove leak), RH Factor’s “I’ll Stay”, and Don-E’s “So Cold”. Leon closes with Moodymann, Recloose, and his own “Your Love” — love and lost groove intact.
Leah's last graveyard, featuring the likes of Gnonnás Pedro, Somalian bootleg legends, Dur-Dur Band and Senegalese duo, Amadou & Mariam. Felix the Producer makes an appearance.
Do not fear - Leah's new spot is Saturdays, 7-9am with even more afro goodness. Yay!
Steaming and streaming into 2020 with a traileroad of freshness and a whole heap of overlooked (by me) & previously un-SGd goodness from the last year too.
