We really missed you last weekend but just know we were in SF making some power moves. In order to make up for our absence we returned this time along with the pioneer/legendary House Shoes. This man's musical selections, experiences/knowledge, and blunt personality is one that you can't deny. We respect House Shoes! It was nice to finally have him come by and drop two different sets (that's right two!). He kicked it off with exclusives from his new label Street Corner Music  and then ended with some nice soulful joints. Joe Kay's discussion with Shoes also touched on many great subjects that many of you wanted to know. Enjoy.

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

Soulection Radio Show #196 w/ Gravez

Founded in 2011, Soulection set out to calve their own place in the music industry with The Sound of Tomorrow... “We’re gonna try to make Soulection an official genre,” explains Joe Kay, co-founder of the LA-based beats collective. Like hip hop, alt-rock, country....soulection? Yup. This crew don’t do things by halves. They dream big. They come with an optimism that could only have been coaxed in the California sunshine. As we get to know the crew, we delve into this sublime exclusive mix.

We're getting close to Show 200! All of the sleepless nights of digging, pressure, amazing guests, and crew support have helped make this all possible. The past few shows have been really about digging deep in the vaults for the forgotten. The first half of this show is full of a lot of new material that was inspired by @kronika-selekta. Make sure you check out her likes, she got some crazy digs. Spread this music and radio session to your people.

▶ Show #199 (Best of 2014) Track List: http://bit.ly/Show199TrackList

What a year it's been! This was definitely our year; we put in so much work the past 3 years to set ourselves up for the future and  we wouldn't be here without you. There were so many great releases, tracks, new artists who emerged that it is literally impossible to cover everyone. I went through all of my playlists from this whole year by each month and compiled 220+ tracks. But I was only able to get through 103 tracks. Don't be mad if you were an artist who  had a lot of play on our radio show this year and didn't make the cut... it has nothing to do with it not being good enough.. it was more about just the flow and vibe of this session. 

This isn't your typical best of session where we go in order by EP,s albums, artists.. it's just a freestyle.. no favoritism.. everyone is winning; SOULECTION STYLE! 

We love ya'll and look forward to another great year ahead of us. Happy 2015, be safe out there and we'll catch you Saturday, January 10th with Show #200!! We're taking this weekend off. God bless.

Timing is everything. My man GoldLink and I have been trying to find the right setting to sit down and chop it up. After months of bouncing back and forth we finally connected and made this session happen. GoldLink to me is one of my favorite emerging artists. I don't really need to give him an introduction. But just know that he has Rick Rubin on his side, Soulection on his side, and every A&R/label head on him. It's refreshing to connect with an artist who gets our sound and is at the forefront of this future beat sound/forward thinking community. GoldLink said that he and Soulection will run music in 2015 and beyond. Hear why.

The last 72+ hours have been a movie. From Dubai to Cape Town, South Africa, here we are at Red Bull Studios blooming off the energy of the city and people around us. Carmack stole the night yesterday at the Cape Town Electronic Music Festival hosted by RBMA and we're here celebrating Dilla's life just as we do every month. 

Soulection wouldn't be here if it weren't for J Dilla. That man has given us so much inspiration and this show is for him.

South Africa has been an amazing journey for us. To travel to the other side of the world and have a chance to connect with people who are mentally and musically on the same vibration as us is something we have always dreamed of. Being here for 2 weeks has given us a new perspective in life and has also inspired us to keep going. For the first time ever we opened up to the public and invited some friends/affiliates to come by and experience the show live and direct with myself. The vibes were great and the energy felt like an in-studio exclusive party and celebration. Shout out to The Whooligan for dropping a set at the end as well. We hope you enjoy. 

Now back to Los Angeles I go.

Strata East Mix Part 2

Mixtape vibes... strictly vinyl... no tracklisting unless you count the 10 mins of nonsense chat at the end between Gilles and Rob "Earl Zinger" Gallagher.

Enjoy.

Bless The Basement 1 // A Gilles Peterson Mixtape

Here's a little mix I did today from some fine music that was lying around.
I hope you enjoy these arabic tendencies with a touch of modalism etceteraaaaa..

Here's the game..
You must name the tracks and artists and the first one to get it right will receive a proper bundle of vinyl from Brownswood records and from the basement - some old and new in there....but I don't think you'll get it so I might as well throw in a copy of Donald Byrd's Kofi if I can find my second one!

Good luck and good digging!
