For the ninth year, I’ve been putting together this mix which is a personal selection / exploration of healing and transformative music: songs that have a deep sense of spirituality without being religious in nature. A feeling that can be found in music of all genres, eras and cultures.

On a usual year anywhere on the planet, a beautiful spring morning feels like a precious gift. However these past years have been anything but usual. I would like to dedicate this mix to all that have lost loved ones, faced difficulties and personal challenges.

Dedicated to my mom.
Dedicated to all of us who have survived the storms.

** Tracklist: Coming very soon. In the meantime feel free to ask for any track ID you want!

Oh! De Gold: Trinidadian Calypso, 1956–67 (Philippe Noël & Zeke Runyon)

This episode comes to you by way of Jukka Sarapää founder & Co. owner of Timmion Records Ltd.

When Jukka is not touring the world playing drums with Bobby Oroza and Cold Diamond & Mink, he can be found recording sweet soul, raw funk or cutting master lacquers for the next 12" or 7" of your favorite jazz/pop/house/metal etc. artist at Timmion Records Studios inside the subterranean caves of Kaapelitehdas, Helsinki, Finland

When playing records, his selections tend to take the obscure route, leaning on moody mid-tempo soul and ballads. Nevertheless, he's sure to also have your favorite organist and Stevie Wonder records back home neatly filed up.
