As summer officially draws to a close on September 22nd, I wanted to dedicate this episode to capturing the essence of beach vibes before we say “au revoir” until next year. In this episode, you can expect a rich selection of well-curated tracks, including a special focus on rare soul gems from 1980 to 1984. These classics are seamlessly blended with fresh releases from standout artists like The Point, The Ghost Funk Orchestra, Mercan Dede (with a reimagining of Ludovico Einaudi), Bruk Rogers, Funkonia, Kesseo, Flevans, and Phello.
In addition, this show will pay tribute to the legendary Sergio Mendes, who sadly passed away on September 6th, honoring his immense contribution to music with a dedicated “ring walk” segment.
