Guadaloupe Ile de Mes Amours - Eric Cosaque



Awesome loungey jazz-funk number with plenty of blue notes and even a sprinkle of synthesised accompaniment in the background just to make sure that no matter your palette, you'll be plenty satisfied.

Soundsweekly Radio Ep. 19 - Love In The Time Of The Blues



It's that time again folks. Something for the romantics, the soul heads and anybody feeling them blues. The result of a bit of an experiment I decided to conduct, there is no mixing involved here (bar the last 3 songs). Instead this is an exercise in song selection, which resulted in a journey that will hopefully take your soul for a ride through all the shades of blue, with some brief pit stops in the territory of a few other colours to keep things fresh.

RA Live at Brilliant Corners, London, 21st March 2017 - Jeremy Underground


From the man who is rapidly becoming one of my favourite selectors. A mix to wrap yourself in, should you be in the mood for some soul healing, or simply some general relaxation.
As we've come to expect from Jeremy, its filled with only the rarest and most exotic cuts, played out in full for your aural pleasure.
If you're digging this, then I cannot recommend his recent compilation Beauty highly enough.

Baker's Dozen - Muito Legal!



A very brief sampler of the incredibly rich and deep pool of sounds that is Brazil. Got some classics in there as well as some lesser known gems, however as 12 songs is not adequate for even covering a small minority of the bases, I'll keep updating this playlist in the future so make sure to bookmark it if you like what you hear!
