Audio Texture Radio Show – February 17, 2014

A nice mish mash of styles this week which all seemed to segue together quite pleasingly kicking off with some sunshine jazz funk vibes from Brazil, courtesy of MUV before Aisha Mars supplied some deep, instrumental, soul music from the great Bamalovesoul compiled On Deck 2 from the BBE crew, a great little collection of fresh nu-soul flavours, mostly from artists I’ve never heard of, which makes it even better. Blludd Relations then dubbed up the Owiny Sigoma Band to good effect which led nicely into Jameszoo‘s unrecognisable remix of the great Awanto 3‘s Afro house banger, «Su What? which we previewed on last weeks show.

Hip Hop was then the order of the day with 3 stylistically different takes on the genre kicking off with Jack Dice‘s rude, yet modern, take with some help from the great vocal talent of Stash Marina. Joe Kickass laid down a more traditional sounding cut from his forthcoming album on Project Mooncircle before Cat Claw & The Better Love Crew took us right back to the early days for a glimpse of what hip hop once was. The long dark percussive dub of Afrobuddha‘s «Zone» then swerved the show into new territory before Georgia‘s, «Spirit House» kept the dub but added a twist or two.

Quality roots reggae is in short supply these days so it is nice to see Kalbata & Mixmonster keeping it real with their new track, «Prisoner In Love» soon to be released on Freestyle which paved the way for some more nu-soul, firstly from Jevon Reynolds – another tune from On Deck 2 before the sweet tones of Joya Mooi gave the show another soul injection. Diversity in house then finished the show with the soulful vibes of Omar and Positive Flow before the darker techno soul of Vaghe Stelle finished the show off nicely.

Audio Texture is an independent music consultancy specializing in putting extraordinary music in the ordinary world.

We love music even more than chocolate & we constantly research, listen to & painstakingly collate what we consider to be the best music in the world. So we thought it would be a nice idea to put out a weekly radio show to spread the word about some of our musical discoveries & support the world of quality, underground music.

We also write a blog giving people the heads up on the show and our Facebook page is worth checking for all sorts of musical news.
