Working the Groove

The groove I work was first revealed to me by Massive Attack's "Blue Lines" & the albums of Portishead. Since that time, the hunt's been on for work of similar quality & music has been good to me in this regard, as this show demonstrates, bringing together masterworks from across the years: Deadbeats, The Funky Lowlives, dZihan & Kamien, Gramatik, Burdy, Aromabar all shine with that same low inner funky glow. Listen & you may come to understand the reason for my devotion.

Recent works, even when they stray into new sonic territory, do not disappoint: Lana del Rey, Jill Scott in a brilliant remix by Rob Luis of Tru Thoughts, and Dual Control from the Grand Central folks all hold their own in this illustrious company & fully satisfy your groove requirements. Closing down the show with spacious sonics is New Channel, a fresh release from the fine folks at Upstairs Records (and a grateful nod to Monta for hooking us up.)
