Slow is beautiful Mix

With the release of their 7th album, The Motet once again showcase their commitment to pushing the sonic envelope while remaining dedicated to the musical traditions that have defined their sound. The new self-titled album boldly states that this is the band The Motet has strived to become. The whole has become greater than the sum of its parts with each member of the band contributing to the writing and arranging of the songs, telling a unified story through syncopated rhythms and melodies. The band has also decided to take an analog approach in the making of the album by using tape, tubes and transistors. This gives the music a warm, rich, and organic tone with the crunch and bite of a classic ‘70s funk record.

Hello friends!  One thing that happens when I don’t post shows very often is I end up with a bunch of good tunes that don’t make it onto the show because I know posting a 4 ½ hour show would be crazy! So here are some tunes I’ve been wanting to get on for a while. I had most of these when I put show 47 together so consider this an addition to show 47  

We kick things off with a nice set of broken beats, then move into some hip-hop tracks, then into a mix of some smooth, underground dance tunes. I usually record the mix separately, but this time I just did it on the fly. We close out with some downtempo soul. Enjoy…. And please share a link with your friends!

Thanks for making The Afterglow part of the soundtrack of your lives!

The Afterglow - Show 48: Summer Nostalgia

“Suboptimal” is a cool and confident celebration of imperfection. It’s about embracing your flaws, laughing at expectations, and owning your chaos with pride. Between wry humor and urban groove, it tells the story of someone who’s done trying to fit in — turning every mistake into part of their style. It’s not about getting it right, it’s about finding rhythm in what’s “wrong.” Smart, soulful, and self-aware, “Suboptimal” turns imperfection into art.

„Suboptimal“ ist eine lässige, selbstbewusste Hymne auf die Unvollkommenheit. Es geht darum, die eigenen Macken zu umarmen, über Erwartungen zu lachen und das Chaos mit Stolz zu tragen. Mit einem Augenzwinkern und urbanem Groove erzählt der Song von jemandem, der aufgehört hat, sich anzupassen – und stattdessen jeden Fehler zu seinem Stil macht. Es geht nicht darum, alles richtig zu machen, sondern darum, den Groove im „Falschen“ zu finden. Klug, soulig und charmant unperfekt – „Suboptimal“ macht Unvollkommenheit zur Kunst.

SUBOPTIMAL	

Old Mr. Jones holds up my test again
Says, “Kid, what’s wrong with your brain?”
Man, that’s just not right…
Yeah, story of my life

They all keep asking, “what’ll you be?”
Guess they’ll find out when they’re watching me

It’s kinda suboptimal – yeah, that’s the word
Not quite perfect, but haven’t you heard?
Suboptimal – I’ll take that call
I don’t need perfect, I like the fall

Lucy’s done with my chaos ways
Says straight up, “you’ll never change”
Sweet girl, but she don’t get
I’m not chasing perfect yet

She says, “this won’t end too well”
I laugh, “guess time will tell”

It’s kinda suboptimal – still, I’m fine
Half off-beat, but the groove is mine
Suboptimal – I love that flaw
Can’t you see it’s my encore?

Now I’m barefoot in the sand
My song’s blowing up across the land
They said, “you’ll never get it right”
Guess they missed the point that night

Still suboptimal – yeah, that’s my style
Never perfect, but worth your while
Call it luck or call it flaws
A genius hides in chaos
Suboptimal
And proud of it all


Suboptimal

Enjoy a hot set of house as you settle into the cool of autumn…

I recorded this mix a few weeks ago intending to use it as the DJ Mix in show 49. I decided that the playlist for the show wasn’t up to par, so I didn’t record the show (it’s coming soon, I’m re-working it now). However, this mix was a little too good to just sit on. It features a stellar remix of Hiatus Kaiyote by the legendary DJ Spinna, 2 hot ones from Chris McClenney, a 3-play from the talented hands of Opolopo, 2 nice ones from Glenn Underground and 2 tracks from Mark de Clive-Lowe’s Church Remixed album. Cognac, Randomized Coffee and Nicolay contribute to the hotness as well.
