Today’s show is a mix that would ideally be played on a sexy and sultry summer night with the object of your desire on one hand and a mojito in the other. With any luck you’re doing just that even while today’s show plays.
One group I’m excited to play on this week’s solipsistic NATION is Sidestepper. Sidestepper is a Colombian band with English DJ/producer Richard Blair and Colombian producer/songwriter Ivan Benavides at the core. Sidestepper combines popular Afro-Colombian music styles like salsa and cumbia with electronica.
Another gem is Quantic Soul Orchestra‘s “Tropidelico.” Will Holland (AKA Quantic), a DJ and musician, is the man behind the Quantic Soul Orchestra, which is a live band project with a changing lineup from album to album. Will has explored different genres of music in the past but the direction he’s taken his album, Tropidelico , is very exciting.
We also have a track from Paul Malmstrom, the one-man band that is Monkeybacon. Monkeybacon is a favorite here at solipsistic NATION and you can download his music here.
Another sonic treat comes from Novalima, a musical collective by four Peruvian musicians several cities around the world: Lima, Barcelona, London and Hong Kong. “Malato” comes from their 2006 release, Afro.
I’m also excited to play a track from Ghostly International‘s Bodycode. I’ve been sitting on Bodycode’s album Bodycode, for a couple of weeks, just waiting for the right show to play a track from the album. Today’s show seemed like the perfect show to play “Arigato.”
I’ll play just about anything from Evan Bluetech but I’m particularly pleased that Evan has delivered a track that slots perfectly with today’s show. You can download Evan’s new EP, Call Of The Wild, here.
DJ Food has resurfaced with a brand spanking new album called One Man’s Weird Is Another Man’s World that I’ve been grooving to for the last few week’s. I present the track “Tricky Little Ears (The Cheech Wizard Pays Respect To All Living Creatures Who Inhabit Dark Places)” to you as a gift.
Luxurious is another favorite and I’m pleased to play a track from their long awaited second album, Lost Vegas: Hip Hop Lounge Series Vol. 2.
Lokua makes another appearance on solipsistic NATION, this time with “Burning Money” from Lokua’s Trails net album, which you can download here. Be sure to also listen to Lokua’s live set on the April 3rd edition of solipsistic NATION.
Today’s show is chock full of other great songs and musicians so enjoy!
