Hip-Hop I grew up with you and loved you but feel out of it when things got to hardcore and MONEY ravaged and changed you for what you really were meant to be.... many forgot who you really are, the culture, the struggle, the entertainment but most of all, the REAL skill it took to tell us stories, messages regardless if it was real or fake.
Your so taken lightly that it has divided many and some have even claimed your death because you've gone un-noticed unless 1 REALLY DIGS DEEP TO FIND YOU... 

But i'm gonna try to tell the world you exist.. one volume at a time, because I miss you so much.

Q - Tip Tribute Mix

the song from my dreams last night

Sonic Salve is a sonic journey of healing, remembrance, and reawakening. This album blends ambient house, organic textures, spoken word, and conscious club grooves to create a listening experience that gently uplifts and grounds. From the meditative spaciousness of The Meditation Song to the pulsing energy of Dance of the Kundalini, each track is designed to soothe the nervous system while activating the soul’s deeper resonance.

Created by Genesis Light Operation (feat. ESPĒ), Sonic Salve is more than music — it's vibrational medicine. These songs emerged during a time of deep transition, offering gentle affirmations and powerful reminders of our internal wisdom. Listeners are invited to move, breathe, and feel — to remember that the body knows the way, the magic is inside, and we are still here.

Ideal for grounding rituals, night walks, silent dance sessions, or simply resting into your breath, Sonic Salve bridges the seen and unseen with heart-led frequency work.

Magic Inside You

Hit record and played some songs I'm feeling, hope you feel it too.

Lazy Afternoon 7

The mix that started it all. Makossa Classics initially came about as a 30 minute demo that I used to give to venues and promoters when I was looking for gigs. The mix consisted of some of my favorite songs I was playing at a new Tuesday weekly in Oakland called "Makossa" with my partner Joe Quixx. I thought the types of music we were mixing and the way we played them were unique and I wanted to capture that. I always got a good response when I would play the demo for friends so on the eve of the 2nd anniversary of our Makossa party I decided to add 30 more minutes and make it an official mix as a giveaway at the party. Long story short the response was great, Makossa traveled across the Bay and across the country to New York, and Vol. 2 came to light a couple of years later. For those that have only heard Vol. 2 and are hearing this for the first time I'm sure the voicemail intro will make a little more sense now. Hope you enjoy! -Wonway

Kiss-n-Grind Podcast Volume One

This mix was inspired by a Little Brother interview I read a few years ago. In the interview, I remember the interviewer asked the group why they went with the name "Little Brother." The group replied that they chose the name because they felt that musically, they were the "little brother" of groups like ATCQ, De La Soul, and Slum Village. In the spirit of that interview, I put together a 40 minute mix of Tribe, De La, and Slum V classics titled "Big Brother." Same BlendingNationSounds mixing style that all of you have come to know and love. Enjoy."
