Link to the Show / Show Notes
A great mixture of electronic experimentalism and soul music this week, kicking off with a great Japanese talent, Yosi Korikawa, a sound designer who likes mixing up the sound of the world with some great beats. The mysterious AFMB come up with a great house remix of the Maze classic 'Sunshine and Rain' and I pull out some old school Philly goodness with Executive Suite. The latest Dillanthology is about to drop and is another well compiled retrospective look at the mans work.
N'Dambi, one of my favourite nu-soul artists from the last few years, is about to drop a new album on the resurrected Stax records and it's sounding nice. I had to drop more vintage Estonian jazz pop folk fusion from Collage, the album really is that good. New York post garage soulful electronic fiddler, Falty DL, is coming through with a new ep on Planet Mu and 'Must Sustain' is a great slice of future electronic soul. Red Snapper return a recent favour and remix the mighty Robert Logan in their dark electronic jazzy style and The Eerier Child come through with my favourite track from the interesting new forward thinking Mindtricks/Redrum compilation Frequencies Of The Mind.
Fink is still putting out some remixes of his recent album and his Sideshow alter ego beefs up the bass to great dubby effect on his rework of Dub It All. Architeq is another of the seemingly endless supply of promising UK electronic producers and I play a track from his great debut album available soon on Tirk recordings. I'm liking The Baker Brothers reworking of the Steve Winwood classic 'Fly Like An Eagle', mainly because I'm a sucker for the original and Bei Bei and Shawn Lee have come up with an outstanding version of Billy Paul's 'East' and I'm looking forward to hearing what their forthcoming album is like.
