So please, sit back, put your seat back and tray tables up, and enjoy your trip!

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 Bank, beginning our evening with an epic electro earfuck. Next, Honey Knuckles floats onto the floor and drops a little hip hop, funk, and world rhythms for your aural pleasure. Expect some new joints by the Quantic crew and a few remix heaters. After a brief intermission, Sass Appeal brings it hard with her sultry smooth tech house set. And closing out the Rumble, DJ Lokae and emcee J. Mousepad (Lok-Pad) destroy it on Ableton, a mic, and a Kaoss pad.

Sanguine Soul thanks all the artists who represented their style on the Rumble. We hope you appreciate and enjoy this diverse session, and thanks for listening.

Here at Moss Street Studios we’re all about stretching our ear holes into the far reaches of our outer soul. While some tend towards plugs for such stretch armstrong feats, we prefer expansion by way of rhythmic vibration. Call it aural exercise. And if you would be so generous to flex your inner lobes with us, then allow us to take on the role as your slightly offbeat, soul sonic yoga instructors.

In this episode of Sanguine Sunday we teeter on the limit zones of the funk. Whether meandering along the electro-soul of Little Dragon reworked into a synth heavy jazz groove by Floating Points, traversing the uncannily dank texture of Asha Puhtli’s resonant vocals, or bear witnessing to Man Parrish blurring supposedly tight packaged color and orientation lines with his idiosyncratic brand of electro-funk, this mix lingers on the slippery dynamism of concept and sound.

Oscillating between the sonance of the traditional and the new–brushing the past with fresh meaning in contemporary combinations while informing the inchoate feel of the novel with its heritage–we do not shy away from evolving montages of beat and melody. That’s where Babel Rythms comes in. From the dusty ruins to the rebuilt heights of the Tower of Babel, to the oftentimes forgotten fact that music is the lone universal language which even divine punishment neglected, the funk endlessly babbles up into nascent forms of roots music.

And so, we bring you a feature on the burgeoning sound of Dub-Step orchestrated by local enthusiast, grand mixer, and up and coming producer, Lokae (AKA BOOM LOLO). Originally hailing from the grimey back waters of East London, the dissonant boom bap rhythms of Dub-Step has swooped down into the sewage spills of the San Francisco Bay with the force of a ravenous mutant sea gull, this shit is real. Turn it up! Time to exercise the them ear holes, ‘cus in a reworking of DOOM’s words, we got more soul than a hole in sock. And like a black hole engulfing intergalactic trash, that hole can’t stop won’t stop unraveling at the seams.

Like what you hear? Peep Lokae’s original styles Babel Funk mix for a sound lesson in dub-step, glitch, and fidget.
