On July 21st 2013, DJ Shadow took to the decks on BBC Radio 1's "Diplo and Friends" for a very special Guest Mix. You can relive the mix here!



DJ Shadow - 'Diplo & Friends' BBC Mix (PRE-AIR Version Without Interruptions) July, 2013

Still high off Tuesday's Team Supreme x Soulection takeover at The Echo (LA), we had to keep that momentum going by bringing another member on Soulection Radio from Team Supreme who is also co-founder of The Melt. If you never heard of him that is about to change. Kloud is that dude. His style is really diverse with influences of house, r&b, soul, 2-step and bass, blended into one BPM. He made sure to showcase some nice exclusive vibes plus tracks that we have never heard of before.

Joe Kay on the other hand stepped outside of the Soulection circle for a bit and had a great time getting lost in new discoveries from artists such as Silkie, Obey City, DJ Rashad, Hudmo, Ganz + others. Of course like always though, he falls right back into the Soulection vibe and pops up with more unreleased tracks from Soulection's brightest. Spread this if you feel it. We'll be back at the same time next Saturday.

Also, Dpat's "In Bloom" album drops with us this Tuesday via http://soulection.bandcamp.com/album/in-bloom

Enjoy.

Soulection Radio is hosted LIVE every Saturday by Joe Kay from 10am-1pm (PDT) via www.kbeach.org

Machinedrum - Gunshotta (Radio Edit)

[Low quality rip from Imanos' Diplo and Friends mix on Aug 31st, official release forthcoming on the 'Say So' EP via 'Sweat it Out'.]

After three years intense training with master Stretos (known to many as 'Flume'), my perfectionist demeanour is finally satisfied, giving me the green light to put out my first original productions.

"I want you to write a different genre every week to develop your palate & abilities" were my instructions. 

Finding the time to meet this goal? Near impossible, but attempting to do so has been one the most beneficial steps taken in my musical career.

'Out To Dry' is the first taste of my first solo works as 'Emoh Instead', forthcoming on the 'Say So' EP via home grown legends 'Sweat it Out'. 

In support of this release, the coming months will see me do what I love; DJ, drink & party with my great friends as I travel round the country on the 'Say So EP Tour' :)

10 years drumming through my childhood, my recent endeavours to learn piano & the countless inspiring people I've met & worked with through touring for 'What So Not' (thank you!), have aided greatly in the completion of these works.

I hope you all enjoy this music! It is very me, it is very real & it has been a long road to get here :)

Forever a wildcat and wild card, Los Angeles’ bassist/songwriter/vocalist Stephen Bruner, aka Thundercat, is impossible to tame artistically. A true master of his craft, he can be found playing bass with Flying Lotus, Erykah Badu and Suicidal Tendencies, in the same breath as performing live with the likes of Stanley Clarke, Snoop Dogg or the Red Hot Chili Peppers. His 2011 solo debut (The Golden Age of Apocalypse, co-produced by Flying Lotus) created an equally genre-blurring enigma of indie rock and jazz, with a touch of electronica.

On his second album, Apocalypse, Thundercat pairs up with executive producer Flying Lotus to pull the veil back and reveal the simple truths of the cycle of life, for all its beauty and destruction. An album about loss and rebuilding, trying to gain something back, and capturing that moment of clarity where one finally finds feet back on the ground again. Bringing a fusion of pop, soul, electronica, prog rock and funk into an unexplored dimension, the album slowly descends and tunnels to the core of what it takes to grasp peace, at a time that it seems most far.

From the deep, rumbling entrance of ‘Tenfold,’ each of the 12 tracks coalesce with Thundercat’s signature bass, his riffs and basslines gliding sky high to meet Fly Lo’s astral touch. Bruner’s vocals and harmonies also soar with open honesty, rising above heartbreak with uplifting odes to love and companionship (‘Tron Song’) and wise mantras to live by (‘Special Stage’). The album plays as a comedy and tragedy at the same time, delicately addressing tracks like ‘We’ll Die’ while bringing the all-out cosmic funk of the anthemic ‘Oh Sheit, it’s X.’

As heavy as the lyrical weight may be, the divine musicality of Flying Lotus, and Thundercat’s instrumental collaborations, brings light. Navigating dense rhythms and intense harmonic progressions, the LP pushes through the hypnotic strands of ‘The Life Aquatic,’ the analogue explorations of ‘Lotus & The Jondy’ (recorded in Adrian Younge’s studio with drummer Thomas Pridgen), and Thundercat and Lotus’ prog rock jam ‘Seven,’ a spontaneous improv recording that organically materialized in less than an hour. It’s no wonder the kindred pair often refer to their freeform sessions as “going to space.” Continually pushing tracks to their furthest point, they take the listener to another place completely – somewhere beyond time, a place that transcends this realm. As the aforementioned track ‘Seven’ (named for its challenging time signature) asks, “Can you hear the sounds of infinity?”
