Guest Selector: Ohmega Watts

What’s good folks??? Got another very tasty set to serve up for you today, courtesy of sonic sorcerer and digger supreme- Ohmega Watts. Although we’ve never met, I’ve been following this dude’s output since the early aughts, and he never ceases to deliver. He’s also a member of the NuTropic fam and rounds out our little guest spotlight series. With a style deep rooted in golden era boom bap, he doesn’t shy away from anything funky, soulful, and vibey, as his selections today will clearly illustrate. From Turkish psych, to Mexican electronic pop, to rootsy Samba, to left field dance music and some truly beautiful melodic jazz as well. This is a real musical journey for those ready to take a trip. Here’s what he had to say about the songs:

“2020 came with some unique negatives, but reflecting back on tunes from the year, there were a lot of good gems and jams that provided both solace and danceability. My selects span a variety of global riddims from downtempo to Uptempo, as that’s the m.o. within our NuTropic fam. I hope you can find a gem or a few to add to your personal playlist or record collection on this ‘Field Trip’ of mine, like the track by Jah9 of the same title I put in the mix. Enjoy and thank you for tuning in to Mixtape Riot and the NuTtropic Sound!”
