Sanguine Soul gets bass heavy and grimy this week. First, Honey Knuckles drops some glitchy tracks for your enjoyment. A few favorites include Drop Bombs from Ben Samples and Timonkey’s Panther Beach. Next, Digital Rust stops by for a guest set featuring some never-heard-before original tracks. Be prepared for a set both obscene and beautiful. You might call it devastatingly pretty; we think of it as Magnificent Decay. By the way, the man was up until the wee hours finalizing these tracks; that’s some dedication!

Back from a two-week hiatus we decided to hit ya with a two-part episode.

Aebl rockin the fixie

For the 63rd Sanguine Soul, Honey Knuckles and Mama FeelGood attempt to pay homage to their former east bay city of residence. The Town, Funk Town, OakTown, The O, however you rep it, Oakland has and continues to be a center of art, soul, and cultural diversity. Often written off as the “ghetto” counterpart of San Francisco, this show aims to break down this racist stigma and remind folks that Oakland is a place where revolutionary thought and practice is part of history, where Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton started the first Free Breakfast for School Children Program (later adopted by the Federal government), where Bruce Lee began teaching Jee Kune Do to non-Chinese against the will of the conservative Chinese community, and where some of the most culturally diverse neighborhoods exist and create art. Today, the east bay mecca has seen a revival in it’s nightlife and music, with the reopening of the historic Fox Theater and new venues sprouting each month.

It is tough to pay homage to The Town in 2 hours, but luckily we had some help from our homie Aebldee. The man comes through legit, fitted with green and yellow and rockin’ an eclectic set of afro, funk, soul, hip hop, and…ah who cares about genres! The dude drops hella dope tracks, and it’s not in Oaktown fashion to trip about where things belong in the popular media. Yadadamean?

LapuLapu

i·rie [I' -ree]
-adjective
to be at total peace with your current state of being. The way you feel when you have no worries

What is Irie Revolution? DJ Lapu Lapu (aka Brother K), DJ, educator, creator of Roots Kommunikations on KPFA radio, and all around knowledgeable man breaks it down on the decks. Perhaps it’s the laid back roots rhythms counteracting structured capitalist thought, or maybe it’s the spiritual vibes flowing free of puritanical dogma. No matter how you interpret it, this irie revolution begins with open ears and indigenous voices echoing from an ancient hero’s DNA.

Much love and thanks to Brother K and Brother Lenz for stopping by. K is so down that even Boots Riley of The Coup had to stop by and give props!

Malcom Cecil of Tonto's Expanding Headband with an epic Moog setup

This episode pays homage to those artists who created electronic music outside of the standard computer and software program. From analog synthesizers to vocoders, there exists a legacy of resourceful musicians that leveraged the technology of their time to bring their musical inspirations to life. On top of that, we welcome Aeion Solar (aka the Marquis DuQue) from Burning Man Information Radio to join us in shepherding today’s theme and helping us raise money for Pirate Cat Radio and BMIR-FM. The man is a true musical mind, bringing an eclectic and rare mix of funky electronic music.

If you are listening and would like to donate to Pirate Cat Radio for some much needed equipment, it’s not too late! You can send it via PayPal to BMIR@pobox.com or simply stop by the Pirate Cat Cafe at 2781 21st @ Florida in San Francisco. Any donation is appreciated. Keep independent radio stations alive!
