Ep. 35 – Soul of Ayers

A belated but imperative tribute and celebration to one of the greatest to ever do it, the master of vibes, Roy Ayers. A major inspiration to a several generations of producers, jazz & soul music lovers alike, with his original blend of consciousness, funk, Afrocentricity, and that Ayers brand of sunshine spirituality. The one many of us crown as the godfather of neo-soul. 

I’ll never forget discovering “Daylight” on DJ Muro’s King of Diggin mixtape in 1996, connecting the dots as the original to Tribe’s “Bonita Applebum”. Or digging up Everybody Loves the Sunshine in a bargain bin at Streetlight Records, hyped to be able to play it next to Erule’s “Listen Up” in a set. 

Interspersed throughout the show are excerpts from two interviews. One from 2017 on Questlove Supreme where he tells his life story, meeting Fela Kuti, and recites a poem inspired by his trips to Africa. A second with a young Sonya Saul on MTV UK circa mid-90s when he was touring out there in the midst of jazz fusion meeting hip hop. Roy’s catalog is immense, so two hours barely scratches the surface.

What is Life, Living, Being Without Love. Whatever is Wonderful is All About Love. - Renowned The Renowned

ONE WORD ONE ACT ONE THING LOVE INSTRU

Plains in Wakanda is a journey where lo-fi spirit meets African soul. This album was created using authentic African tribal instruments, blending their natural textures with chilled lo-fi beats to create something both native and modern.

Each track carries a soft rhythmic pulse, a sense of openness, and the warmth of the African plains. When you listen, you can almost see lions moving across golden fields, elephants roaming beneath acacia trees, and sunsets painting the horizon.

This is lo-fi made to transport you: calm, creative, and alive with the heartbeat of nature. Perfect for relaxing, studying, or just closing your eyes and drifting away.

back in 2006, Dj Mehdi's hommage to Dilla
we did something like 200 promo CDs for friends 
I think it's time for this music to be shared and enjoyed by all of us 
I still can't believe what's happening, so I press play and I listen to my best friend's music.

Jay Dee rest in peace

Based on the DONUTS album concept, these are demos, out-takes and unreleased gems from various records I worked on before and during the making of LUCKY BOY, my next album.
Stuff comes from MEGALOPOLIS, 113 DEGRES and SHEITAN soundtrack mainly, but some is older too.
Hope you enjoy these rough mixes and un-polished sounds, as I pay hommage to "one of the greatest minds to ever make beats" : 
Mr James Yancey, better known as JAY DEE, also know as DILLA.

Steve Bug Continuous Mix 01


San Franciscan trio PillowTalk dish out this weeks mix; a sublime hour long work out which perfectly showcases their wonderfully unique sound. Sammy D, Ryan Williams and Michael Tello's fusion of classic underground house along with modern RnB and boogie flexes all began by jamming around a baby grand piano in a kitchen about a year ago, and now can be heard on labels such as Wolf + Lamb, Life and Death, and Visionquest. Their alluring and charming pop-dance songs are inspired by anyone from the Beach Boys to Larry Heard, and we just can't get enough of them. This podcast is class from start to finish; an absolutely essential listen.

Je m’appelle IPAD, je suis artiste peintre et compositrice. Après avoir consacré une grande partie de ma vie à la peinture, j’ai commencé à créer de la musique il y a presque deux ans. Mes morceaux reflètent mon approche visuelle : un mélange de minimalisme, de sonorités modernes et de touches surréalistes. J’explore des thèmes comme le temps, l’introspection, et la mémoire, tout en cherchant à créer des ambiances singulières et immersives. Mon travail n’est pas là pour plaire à tout le monde, mais pour provoquer, amener à réfléchir, à ressentir...
Toutes mes créations, y compris les pochettes, sont de ma propre conception.

My name is IPAD, I’m a visual artist and composer. After spending a large part of my life painting, I started making music almost two years ago. My tracks reflect my visual approach: a mix of minimalism, modern sounds, and surreal touches. I explore themes like time, introspection, and memory, aiming to create unique and immersive atmospheres. My work isn’t meant to please everyone, but to provoke, to make you think, to make you feel.
All my creations, including the covers, are of my own design.
