Check the waves as we welcome Proof and Freddy Anzures to drop an afro-futuristic soul slap. The recurring Sanguine theme of retro-futurism (check: Android Boogie) resurfaces, this time with a focus on fusing music and technology stemming from the African diaspora. Don’t [...]
Great Integration (right click and “save as” to download)
Great Integration is an understatement for our guests this week, not only did this crew of folks create a hip-hop opera called Great Integration—what they have achieved (and I’m still trying to wrap my brain around) is an apocalyptic, mystical, mold breaking, saga…yo this ain’t any ol’ [...]

King Most split between man and machine
Since the industrial revolution, people have leveraged arts to explore the concept of merging human soul with technology (see Fritz Lang’s Metropolis or read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein). With androids being the epitome of humankind’s effort to merge machine and homosapien, [...]

So we don’t drink juice in the hood or smoke fools with glocks but we have a mean trio of spinners hitting you tonight. Honey Knuckles beacons with a funk that causes street corner folks to windmill with his old-to-new school span of breaks. Inspired by [...]
