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.
Been feeling extra grateful lately. No single big thing going on to attribute that to, just feeling like I need to soak up every good moment and focus on small details that show everyday proof of love. I miss my buddy Sumo. I miss my childhood best friend Adam who passed a full 14 years ago. I look at my 3 year old making a corny joke and I could burst into tears of joy. I guess I’m feeling sentimental, but I definitely don’t want it to go away. I’ve had a year of reaching fruition in so many ways, and now I’ve got the sweet taste of rich juice on my tongue and I’m savoring it, staring at the pulp daydreaming of planting 10 million acres of fruit trees. And it’s quite funny for me to have this blog as a diary, to look back at the playlists I was posting 14 years ago, and still love that music, and still feel inspired by the same sparks, and still believe in the simple power of sharing these gems old and new from all around this precious planet. Today we have sounds from a super dope young Greek producer who I discovered this summer while digging at a record store in Athens. Sounds from Brazil, Colombia (where I will travel to on Thursday for my first time ever!), Israel, Turkey, Mali, Martinique, Lesotho, Cape Verde, more Cape Verde (including one of my all time favorite songs by Cesaria Evora), Malawi, Puerto Rico, and muthafuggin LATVIA. Ok??? If this fat collection of under-appreciated sonic gold doesn’t prove that this world is chock full of beauty, then lord help your pessimistic light forsaken soul. Also, super cool artwork today comes courtesy of Hilary Pecis who has lots more to keep you tingling as well. Press play and bump loudly…
Can you be more specific about the content of your article? After reading it, I still have some doubts. Hope you can help me.
Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?

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.
