Something about this jam is setting off flashbacks from that scene on the water planet in Interstellar. "Blame Fire" also brings us to a new stage in genre naming -- at this point we've reached quadruple barreled categorization; ie. afro electronic s...

Wow. So, I'm not sure who to credit for this beautiful song (because I'm trying to find a copy to buy). It's a William Onyeabor track for sure, it's just been redone by someone named Man Tear. Was it then remixed by all those Nords?
Someone needs t...

Tracks with African roots have received extra attention from me recently. During a recent trip to Spain there was an instrumentalist from Morocco who genuinely snake charmed me, and now I want to impress you all in the same way.

My brain is feeling slow this Monday; there's music for that, there is music for just about everything.
