Ep. 400: Peace Magents
1w agoTap to summarizeEPISODE 400 IS FINALLY HERE! And it just so happened to coincide with my dearly departed friend, Josh Pressman's birthday. So I decided to make this one extra special, mixing some of my rarest South African kwaito records (and CDs, and cassettes!) with a mix of other international gems that rarely see the light of day.

Ep. 391: Love Profusion
Feb 18Tap to summarizeMy Adam's apple is still vibrating from this mix! This week I'm bringing back some good old fashioned "circuit" music, or "main room" house music.
