This is a live recording of the D'Angelo tribute listening session we did on Friday, October 17th 2025. It was a beautiful evening with Doka being completely filled up with people needing to commemorate and listen to his music collectively after hearing the sad news of his passing. Thank you all for showing your love for his timeless spirit!

Lucas Benjamin - 'D'Angelo Tribute (Live at Doka, Amsterdam 17-10-2025)'

Been doing a fair amount of travel and digging the last couple months, making finds at antique shops as well as the floor-level bins at record stores. Taking chances on things when I can and selecting a few others from the wall if it's a fair price and I likely won't see it again. Here's a good mix of what I've grabbed recently, super eclectic, dig in!

Tracklist: Roy Brown, Liana Pascalini and the Internationals, Walfredo de los Reyes, Trio Fronteras Mondiales, Kebnekrise, Dance Caravan, Blues Project, Kassa, Stanford Mendicants, Triste Janero
