Edvard Munch's Madonna
Halloween gave us Sanguine Soulsters a chance to play some of the freakier — and creepier — tunes that we usually don’t get a chance to bump on the show. From Blowfly’s “Fuck The Devil” to Mobb Deep’s “Shook Ones Pt. II” we take you [...]
Synesthesia
The fortuitous gift of sensation astounds me. Our eyes pierce the window of the world from close to far. Our ears capture the smallest vibrations in the air. With tongue and nose we indulge in the flavors of this earth. And our bodies lunge into textures fine and grainy, substances liquid and solid. But the [...]
Royal Rumble
Spank Bank…Honey Knuckles…Sass Appeal…Lokae & Joe Mousepad…these are the contenders on today’s episode of Sanguine Soul, the Royal Rumble. That’s right. Tonight, in absence of Aisha, Shelmatic, and Z-Note, Honey Knuckles uses his powers to summon some sonically sick DJ’s to bring it. In one corner, we have Spank [...]
Sunshine
As San Francisco closes out a gloomier than usual July, we celebrate the source of life in this week’s theme, Sunshine. Tonight, it’s Mama FeelGood and Honey Knuckles holding it down in the studio.

Space Mountain Madness
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; face melting music is a state of mind beyond states of mind; a music outside of music; a formula underneath all formulas. The shit just rips you outside of yourself, throws you into a warp hole, and spits you back out in clothes you’ve [...]
Drums and Fire
The intertwining of drums and fire date back to ancient days of story telling and human expression. Crackling flames spin in a symbiotic dance upon the backbone of frenetic drum licks. Channeling this spirit, Sanguine Soul decided to conceptualize a “drums and fire” theme. We experimented with light blue flames burgeoning into ferocious [...]
Summer Madness
Happy Holiday weekend! Whatever you celebrate, whether you recognize an independence day or the farce of July (wattup LA), we at Sanguine Soul are having a 3 day weekend summer madness BBQ. All beats be grillin!
While things got crackin in the mission with a little grassroots fire works poppin on every street [...]
Limit Zones
Human creativity is pushed into new realms on this week’s episode, Limit Zones.
In a world limited by constraints in the form of laws, labels, and rules, the sanguine family sets out to investigate artists who they think have pushed their artistic creations beyond the normal conventions of their times, thus pushing past their limit [...]
Rollerspace Boogie
After a fleeting glimmer of basking-in-the-hot-sun days, San Francisco retreated back to it’s cold and windy demeanor. Bundled up, we loaded up the car with our equipment and trekked to the Pirate Cat radio station. We reminisced about those few precious days by warming up the station and cafe with some sweet, sticky bass [...]
