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’ [...]

For this Valentine’s Day weekend we hit you up with not only some drums of passion but also the ebullient vocalizations and soulful poetics that spring forth from the valley of propulsive rhythms. Ya, it’s quite a ride, featuring exuberant sounds from Derrick Love–of San Francisco’s [...]

Passing Me By (right click and “save as” to download)

It’s February, the month of love, and Sanguine Soul starts it off right with an episode we call “Passing Me By”. Roughly inspired by the Pharcyde song about juvenile infatuation, we channel the youthful heart’s flutter and innocence into [...]

Dj jb orange from http://djjb.vox.com/

Born from the higher powers of creation, there is a place many artists can describe as their “zone”, “nirvana”, or what freestyle MCs call getting open. This metaphysical realm is when paint, chords, camera angles, notes, words, or medium of choice escape the [...]

Verdant Volts (right click and “save as” to download)

For this week’s episode we tried out something new. Shelmatic jumbled some marbles in her mouth through the whole show, and I (Z Note waxing digital right here) tried to conjure strange words in a fruitless effort to describe the music of Bay Area experimental [...]

Manitous and J. Mousepad in their element

For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere the winter solstice is but on the horizon, changing seasons, perceptions of light and dark, and heralding atmospheric water phenomena. This week we team with our Slayers Club homeboys Manitous and Joe Mousepad [...]

Episode 33 - The Elements

The Elements

A few days ago, Mama FeelGood and I asked ourselves, “How would we represent the fundamental elements of nature through music?” The result is episode 34 of Sanguine Soul. With Shelmatic and Z-Note in LA, the Mic Mistress and I cobbled together a show dedicated to the four elements: Wind, Water, Earth, [...]

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 [...]
