Black Rio-2 :: paying homage to Brazilian youth...
As a major fan of Brazilian music, any reference to the sweet sounds of Bossa Nova and Samba always makes my ears perk up. Needless to say that when I discovered the ‘Samba Soul’ sound / ‘Black Rio Movement’, I was instantly enticed by not only the music from this movement, but what it meant to the youth of Brazil in the early 70s. The music and the movement survived even...

A bitch slap in your social media face. →
Been following Mary since I met her just last week and already have been turned onto some useful and interesting content. This article is pretty blunt and in your face. If you have a problem with the term “suck it” the article probably isn’t for you.

Take the time to read it and let me know if you agree. Pretty crass, and also dead on point??

Miles Maeda Mixes
If you want to stream some rad electronic, namely house music into your ears do yourself a favor and go here. Miles Maeda has been blowing my mind since I first discovered him in the 90’s. He is known for his smoothed out house sets and productions but secretly kinda kills it with his downtempo and drum and bass mixes.
Holluer. Let us know what you think.
