Episode 45: Hazy Rhythm & Blues, Shoe Gaze, Soul and Hip Hop

California is enduring some catastrophic environmental plight— it isn’t saying much, but my heart goes out to the people who have lost loved ones, and utmost wishes for evacuees and missing persons to return home safely. This episode is dedicated to them, as well as my ever-inspiring late grandmother who two years ago this week passed away.

The artists on the mix include The Zombies, Poppy Ajudah, The Midnight Hour feat. Ali Shaheed Muhammad, Eryn Allen Kane, and Adrian Younge, Her’s, Sony Allegra feat. Logic, Frankie Cosmos, Good Morning, Digable Planets, Space Echo, Missy Elliot, Birdtalker, Dizzy Fae, Curtis Harding, Queen Latifah, and CocoRosie among other choice musicians.
