After a long hiatus I’m back with a heap of late Summer soul, the perfect soundtrack for hammock lounging, slow motion beach trips, or impromptu dance parties under the stars. 60 minutes of eclectic sounds from around the world, including psychedelic disco from New Zealand’s Flamingo Pier, Carnival Zouk from Guadeloupe, modern Afrobeats from Congolese singer Pierre Kwenders, Brazilian disco, Latin House and even some brand new Arabic boogie from London-based Bahraini’s Dar Disku. Stay up out there!

The late-summer framing suits a mix that moves through such a wide set of places and styles. Psychedelic disco, Carnival Zouk, Afrobeats, Brazilian disco, Latin House, and Arabic boogie could easily feel scattered, but the one-hour format suggests a deliberate arc rather than a playlist dump. The tracklist is especially useful here, since it gives listeners a way to follow up on the individual selections after the mix ends. eclectic
The mix’s range feels especially well suited to its late-summer framing: psychedelic disco, Carnival Zouk, Afrobeats, Brazilian disco, Latin House, and Arabic boogie create movement without narrowing the mood to one scene. A full 60-minute playlist also gives listeners enough time to settle into the changes in texture, whether they are relaxing outdoors or looking for an easygoing dance soundtrack.
Hello world, welcome to the year of the Dragon! I’m back with another 60mins of soulful selections to get you through tough times and keep you stepping on the good foot. Sounds sourced from near & far, old & new, you can expect the eclectic as always. The mix begins with some mellower songs from Pale Jay, Souleance and Say She She, before going into more uptempo disco & house vibes from artists like Mia Moretti, Full Crate, Aroop Roy & Tony Touch among others. Tune in and take a trip.

A 60-minute set can work especially well when its pacing leaves room for both familiar grooves and unexpected turns. The promise of selections from different places and eras suggests a listening experience built around contrast rather than a single mood. That eclectic approach may be particularly useful in difficult stretches: it gives listeners a steady rhythm to return to while still offering small surprises that keep the session moving forward.
A 60-minute set can do more than fill background time when the sequencing leaves room for both reflection and movement. The mix’s soulful direction, paired with sounds drawn from different eras and places, makes that balance feel intentional. I’m especially drawn to an eclectic approach when it avoids turning contrast into distraction; a well-paced transition can make unfamiliar selections feel like part of the same conversation.
This week I’ve been doing my best to participate in the global strike for Gaza. Limiting my shopping, my travel, and my time on social media other than to elevate Palestinian voices and draw attention to the absolute catastrophe that is currently being inflicted on the entire population there, by the Israeli government, paid for and supported with zero strings attached by my own government. It’s been a heartbreaking 112 days since October 7th. I’ve been compelled to do a lot of learning, questioning, growing… because trying to make some kind of sense of the deep rooted problem helps me hold onto the hope that it’s possible to think our way out, and that in the bigger scheme, humans as a whole are not doomed to self destruction (at least not yet). Another way I’ve managed to find solace has been participating in whatever small way I can in disrupting the current genocidal campaign, and raising funds to support organizations who do work and provide services for Palestinians (when it’s even possible to do so). Protests, rallies, difficult conversations, even organizing a fundraiser event here in LA. It helps, I encourage you to try it out if you haven’t. Certainly better than binging more news or doom scrolling. All this is to say, today I am sharing a soundtrack of purely Arabic music, some of it from Palestinian artists, some of it recorded from my own vinyl, some ripped from CD’s I bought in the streets of Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, some not available on Spotify. I hope these songs help you through these trying times, dancing and finding joy despite the very worst that our world continues to throw our way. After all, it’s the pursuit of joy, and the promise of eventual peace that we do all this for.

A mix framed around connections across continents has a clear purpose beyond simply presenting an eclectic tracklist. In a divided moment, sequencing can make unfamiliar sounds feel like parts of the same conversation, especially when the transitions preserve momentum without flattening each style. The sixty-minute format also gives that idea enough room to develop: listeners can notice shared pulse and texture rather than judging each selection in isolation. That focus on rhythm makes the stated search for common ground feel concrete.
The idea of using a mix to find common ground across continents feels especially timely when so much public conversation is built around division. A 60-minute set can create room for contrast without needing to resolve every difference; rhythm gives listeners a shared point of entry. The eclectic approach also makes the transitions matter as much as the individual tracks, turning variety into a conversation rather than a collection. That kind of connection is what makes a mixtape memorable.

As a way to celebrate the many vintage musical inspirations from around the world that helped shape my trademark “gumbo funk” sound, I made a 60min megamix featuring beloved records as well as some selections from my recent “Sounds Like Home” full-length. Instead of releasing a tracklist, I left it up to you to do your digging!
Simply put, the person who correctly identifies the most songs in this mix wins.
There are 30 tracks in total, each one worth a potential of 3 points for correctly identifying the Artist Name(s), the Song Title, and the Artist(s) Country(ies) of Origin.

There will also be a consolation lottery prize chosen at random from the entries, so even if you don’t want to do your homework, you can still be entered to win. Runner up prize packages will go to the people with the 2nd & 3rd most points earned.

The range here sounds deliberately wide rather than stitched together for novelty: funk, Brazilian bass, electronic cumbia, Arabic Amapiano, Turkish and Trinidadian disco, plus Afro house. Framing the hour as music for keeping momentum during an unsettling moment gives the mix a clear emotional purpose. The eclectic sequencing is the detail that makes the set feel like a journey instead of a genre checklist.

The range of styles makes this feel designed as a journey rather than a stack of isolated tracks. Moving through new funk, Brazilian bass, electronic cumbia, Arabic Amapiano, disco, and Afro house gives the hour a compelling rhythm while leaving room for contrast. That framing of music as something that can lift a listener through a difficult moment is a strong reason to give the full mix uninterrupted attention.
