Volume 2 of the basement sessions takes its cue from the flavors of volume 1 but takes a more mellowed out vibe... this mix is one you can kick back and relax to, the perfect soundtrack for enjoying a cold beverage and soaking in the summer sun. Starting off with Seu Jorge's rendition of the summertime classic "Everybody loves the sunshine," the influences of Roy Ayers simmer through this sun-kissed mix as later on his cut "Green and Gold" and Orgone's cover of his instrumental jam "Black Five" make appearances. Taking a cue from Seu Jorge, we take a trip through Brazil, detour in Hawaii for some Aloha Soul, and then land on the sunny seaside of California with some Yacht Rock... From there things get jazzy with the help of Bernard Purdie, Nils Landgren, The Roots, and more. Finally to wrap things up, we get some excellent soulful workouts from 94 East, Raw Soul Express and Oddisee. Feel the vibes and cool out to this one here... volume 3 coming soon!
