The Musik Lounge

  Mizo and I linked up one mo' gin! As the end of the year approaches and we start contemplating the best sounds we heard this year (many documented right here, crazy to think we have been at this Sunday vibes thing for over three months now!) we knew it was time to lay down one more pure Jazz sesh.

What was once a tribute to all the music of the past I love is now a living and breathing alter to my journey through sound. For this volume of the Sabbath Sessions we just went for it. I kicked things off with Outkast and he closed us out with Bjork. It goes two tracks from myself and two tracks from him, lead off track from wax and second track from the digital world. Just some grooves for y'all to vib...
