Yes, Yes, back again with some more music for you lot! As always we’ve got that signature AGA mix of all things soulful, including some killer tracks from Makaya McCraven’s groundbreaking ‘Where We Come From’ mixtape. An incredibly important collaborative project, featuring the crème de la crème of European and American beatmakers, producers, and musicians. Lyrical gold also comes courtesy of Lava La Rue, Anderson .Paak, & The Wu Tang Clan. Teymori, Horatio Luna, & Zen In Space send up some heavy, dusty house and broken-beat business from down under. There’s some UGK & 2-Step flavours comin’ in hot from MC Pinty, Future James, Thallus, and a throwback Planas remix of Foreign Beggars.On top of all that, a new personal favourite of mine from Róisín Murphy as track of the week! ‘Let Me Know’ was originally released in 2007, and is pure disco/boogie brilliance! I’m so grateful to Rob Butler and all the folks at Be With Records for bringing that beauty back around for the world to enjoy.
Much love going out to Scott McNiece for letting me use his stunning photo taken at one of the ‘Where We Come From’ sessions for this week’s cover image.
