Today is my first show of 2024 – it's great to be back at the b! Big mihi to Liam Watters for being an awesome host while I was away. Today's playlist focuses on music I heard around México – from the usual deep house cuts, to some hip hop and Ibrahim Ferrer (Buena Vista Social Club.) Enjoy!
Today's show takes a spacey, jangly start – with a recent find by April Magazine, 'Lost', then some psychedlic, krautrock and acid jazz – à la Alice Coltrane. We finish off the show on the CDJs with various dub techno and deep house cuts, before the remix of the day. See you next time, ka kite!
Today's mix starts off with some Wau Wau Collectif – a Senegalese group producing some spacey, folky cuts (we revisit Wau Wau later in the show). later on – some great ambience courtesy of Angus Mills, rRoxymore, Vegyn and more! You can find the show's Spotify playlist here.
