Mixtape Riot Radio #34

Direct from Los Angeles, ground zero of the climate crisis inferno, I’ve emerged from the smoke and ashes to share another 60 minutes of soulful sounds and bass heavy beats, specifically selected to help you cope during these extremely trying times. Perpetually genre defiant, this mix travels from South American psychedelic beats to Arabic disco, to Afro funk and house, all the way to techno infused modern club tracks from the likes of Jamie XX, Four Tet & Skrillex. Don’t overthink it! Just press play and let yourself go…

    A Mixtape that moves from South American psychedelia through Arabic disco, Afro funk, house, and techno-leaning club music can make a difficult moment feel less fixed. The stated aim of pairing soulful selections with bass-heavy energy gives the hour a clear emotional shape: not escape for its own sake, but a way to stay in motion. The Los Angeles context also makes the climate-crisis framing feel integral rather than decorative.

Mixtape Riot Radio #32

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.
