The FunkBro Show RadioactiveFM 193: Let The Words Flow

This week we welcomed budding friend and otherworldly selector Meagan Dreams to Sublime Saturdays at Gelato Vero Caffe. I knew she would honor the profound creative energy of the place with her tasteful, familiar, and novel offerings. Do yourself a favor and just look at her track selection below. She oscillated between genres and artists to both stimulate attendees and complement the laidback vibe. It was a masterful selection; well thought out and lovingly delivered. It tracks that she has played vinyl at so many record stores, listening rooms, and radio shows. She's got it all in more ways than one. Hopefully a return tour in the future.

Most of her tracks are now on our priority shopping list. The quality of selection and progression is mind-bending. Hearing new music changes everything, doesn't it? Leading into her set was resident Thomas Fitzgerald, offering up a low-BPM Dark House/ Disco sound for all of the lovelies in attendance. He's getting better at combating the glare. It's a small price to pay for such a pristine San Diego sunset from one of the best places in the city to witness it.

If you enjoy it, feel free to comment, like, and share!

Also, if you like any of the tracks, I encourage you to buy them in lossless format and find a dark place to listen to it with a good sound system or a nice pair of headphones. These artists are giving us their soul so we can make it another day with that fleeting sense of inspiration; so be sure to buy their merch if you dig them and check out their shows/ events if you can!

DJ | Producer | Soul Provider | Matasuna Records | The FunkBro Show

Retro Roland Riso, has over 25 years of club experience behind the decks, with a true passion for all things funky, filled with soul and truly groovy.

As a toddler, he'd spend countless hours enjoying his parents' eclectic record cabinet; listening to artists such as The Beatles, Sergio Mendes, Sly & The Family Stone, The Turtles, Taj Mahal, even The Osmonds and Bay City Rollers.  Little did his folks realize, Roland snagged a few of those gems over the years to add to his impressive collection.  

While fully immersed in listening to music, he began learning piano at 6 years old, which inevitably launched his love to create and produce.

Once considered the "Hardest Working DJ in Philly", Retro Roland was spinning 5-6 residencies on a weekly basis, including a highly regarded internet radio show, "Sounds of The True School".  During his 4 year run, Mr. Riso's guests included Ursula Rucker, The Last Emperor, Rich Medina and Mpozi Tolbert.

He also ran a successful monthly Jazz and Soul Record Show, which was widely popular amongst record collectors, DJ's and producers, including Cash Money, Jazzy Jeff and Quest Love.

Riso also helped engineer Cozmic Cat's legendary Philadelphia party, "Groove Lounge", which brought musicians, vocalists and DJ's a platform to perform in united, rhythmic harmony, which featured a then unknown, Jill Scott.

As an URB Magazine mixtape runner-up, The Soul Provider has shared the bill with incredible performers, including Afrika Bambaataa, Felix Da Housecat, Dubtribe, King Britt, DJ Craze, Vikter Duplaix, house pioneer Robert Owens and the legendary Barbara Tucker.  He recently opened up for Grammy nominated artist, Flo-Rida.

A number of Retro's remixes are in regular rotation on The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show, featured on BBC Radio 6, with funk 45 releases on Matasuna Records.  Plus, Roland hosts a weekly music broadcast, The FunkBro Show, on RadioActiveFM.

Notorious for working the crowd and rocking the dance floor, Riso maximizes every opportunity to drop a funky "Retro Roland Riso" remix, morphing the room into a sweaty, swanky frenzy!

"Got Some Funk, Bro?

As the son of a professional flamenco singer, Thomas has always been surrounded by music.  Exposure to flamenco influenced him because it has a dynamic range of emotions—from the "deep singing" style of cante hondo, to the more lively alegrias.  He has also worked in the corporate, independent, and online music industry for a number of years.  At one point he was a Content Manager for the Electronic Music genre at MP3.com, where he screened over 500 songs per day.  Exposure to a wide range of music explains the range of genres in his mixes—he uses whatever carries the mood.  From listening to Umm Kulthum's "Enta Omri" in his childhood, to New Wave and  Industrial as a teen, it became difficult for him to stick to one sound. Though vinyl was his original format of choice when he started in the 90s, the use of digital mixing has helped him better form soundscapes to expand your headspace.  Let him play with your moods for a spell.
