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 [...]

Episode 29 - Synesthesia (w/ guest The Soft Moon)

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 [...]

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.

Episode 22: Space Mountain Madness

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 [...]

Episode 21: Drums and Fire

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 [...]

Episode 11 - Rollerspace Boogie (ft. Shred One)

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 [...]
