This week's show covers new music from an LA and NYC combo, of American Dance Ghosts and Baltra, a new dance banger from NYC’s Doss, a lounge-y new track from Austin’s Flyjack and London’s Scrimshire, and some new indie rock from Philly’s The Districts.
For the archive pick this week, Mark is heading back to 1995, and to the second volume in the late rapper Guru’s Jazzmatazz series. This is the sort of jazz-infused rap that Guru and Gang Starr before Guru went solo were known for, which got an upgrade from Guru’s connection to Blue Note Records and their treasure chest of hard bop and fusion styles from the mid-1950s to the 1980s, before the reissue boom reanimated the label in the ‘80s and ‘90s.
Of course, there are six more bonus tracks, but you have to sign up for our email newsletter to get those. It's pretty easy to do, if you just click this link. (And do so without fear. We won't misuse your email address, as this show is run by two guys, Mark and Brendan; Not some faceless corporation.)
Lastly, don't miss our fabulous Spotify playlists. We make one for each episode of the show, so grab the latest if you are up to date, and dig into previous episodes if you are new here, or just curious. Have a terrific week!
