Actual Live Gig Alert My people!

Yoooooo My “Chillin’ With…” guest mix for @mol__alexander is numero uno on the MixCloud global #funksouljazz chart! Grateful to everyone who gave it a listen and massive thanks once again to @mol.mixcloud for having me! . . . . . . . . . . #jointswithmattferran #joints #allvinyl #mixtape #mixcloud #soulmusic #worldmusic (at Mixcloud) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDgjvsZDuyN/?igshid=1ifkzhzyfkn23
CREOLE BROTHERS For the soul heads, the beat tape lovers, the deep diggers, the world travelers, I humbly present this 90-minute primer on the music of the Deenmamode brothers and their close associate Al Dobson, Jr. @reginaldomasmamodeiv @jeenbassa and #mokolours @mama_ode_official @aldobsonjr Since discovering their music about five years ago, I’ve been consistently floored by the quality, depth and range of their collaborative and solo releases, many of which are not easy to hunt down, even in today’s internet culture! After quickly recognizing how talented and prolific these brothers are, I felt it strange that they remained so slept on. But if you love Dilla, Madlib, Lee Scratch Perry, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye, The Soulquarians, Sly Stone, Kamaal Williams or Fela Kuti, chances are there’s something here for you. Over 40 tracks deep and recorded all the way live, this mix is perfect for mornings, sunny days, smoke sessions, and of course bumpin’ loud in the whip! ⛓ LINK IN BIO⛓ Please enjoy and share! ✌ . . . . . . . . . . . #22a #rhythmsectioninternational #beats #soulmusic #dub #afrobeat #reggae (at Mauritius, Indian Ocean, Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbsrTAqOUJR/?utm_medium=tumblr

I know, I know… you’ve heard a million Dilla tribute mixes. But you haven’t heard mine. Tune in this Saturday 6pm EST on the eve of the king’s birthday as we take a 2-hour all-vinyl dive into some of the best and most overlooked joints from hip hop’s most prolific producer. And if you heard the @thedangelo #Voodoo episode last year, you know we go deep on Joints! We will NOT be waxing philosophical about how “Dilla Changed My Life” but we WILL be going all the way live and having some fun banging that classic Jay Dee sh*t for your ear holes Follow me on Twitch (link in bio) to catch the fly video stream or tune in at TheFaceRadio.com Oh, and be sure to TURN IT UP! . . .
What an amazing #review of “Make It with Me” from @soultrackscom’s Peggy Oliver! “In the long run, Curenton’s artistic concept strives to be another motivational influence in the vein of @sweethoneyrocks73 and @ninasimone.” Read the full First Listen story at soultracks.com!!
