The Musik Lounge

Proof that creating a new habit takes time, after almost three months of the new 3 hour session I showed up and started the show at the old time without any thought that I was off... until I kicked the show off and it all hit me!

Some big changes are taking place around the Lounge! After three years in the same space it’s time to move into a more permanent location. Big things, big things! Excitement around what this shall bring in the creative realm is not to be understated. But first the present. Here goes episode number 78 of this Sabbath Sessions mix series. As we prepare fo this move and take a look at how we want to move forward Mizo & I decided we are going to take the month of May off and regroup, brainstorm and see how we want to return. You will still be able to catch us on the air at KXSU.org Saturday nights at 10 and Sunday mornings at 10 and there are countless hours of our mixes here for you to digest if you feel so inclined and miss us! Thank you for walking this journey with us and we look forward to what’s next. Press play on this here all jazz extravaganza and stay tuned!  Lester Bowie “Rope-A-Dope” David Axelrod “Ain’t For You” Nat Adderley Sextet ft. Rick Holmes “Space Spiritual” T...

  And we back, we back, we baaaaccccckkkkkk! Not like we ever left! Welcome to another Sabbath Sessions, hopefully your Sunday is off to a fantastic start. Today we have another in our line of all jazz mixes, we drop one of these off every six episodes, so if you do the math that would make this the 10th go round! While we do love the grab bag, play whatever we dig up mixes, these do hold a special place for us as the sounds of classic and modern social music are where Mizo and I truly collide and intersect our ears. Press play, turn it up, relax, burn some palo santo, sage, or whatever else you like, get your meditation or yoga on - really this is just meant to be a soundtrack to your day. Thank you for listening and be sure to check out our slightly more dialed in, sonically focused radio show “The Social Fusions Hour” on KXSU.org every Saturday night at 10 PM with an encore Sunday mornings at 10 AM! Thanks for rocking with us, we won’t stop, we love sharing these sounds with y’...

Where to begin? In certain hiphop circles the name J Dilla rings out above all others. Upon his passing in 2006 there was an endless stream of knock offs looking to generate some hype off the man's steez and deliver lazy interpolations of his timeless sound. Of course these projects were so numerous in the end little of it stuck around - although a few are still doing their thing today and some have taken that initial inspiration to realms unimaginable at the time. Jay Dee was a savant with the MPC. His ability to capture loops, flip drums and bang out rhythms on a machine with the feel of a real drummer only begins to scratch the surface of what it was he cooked up. The beats were soulful, smooth, rugged, classic hiphop that could be touched by emcee’s and vocalists alike. His list of collaborators is lauded. His impact on music as a whole is unquestioned. Alas this isn’t about the man, as more words have been shed on him than ever needed to be. The music speaks for itself. Go li...
