Finally getting caught up after a month away from KPFK and this blog. As such, it’s hard to put myself back into the mindset I had going into his show. The show begins with a short (though it is the long version of the classic “Rapper’s Delight”) tribute to Big Bank Hank of the Sugar Hill Gang, who had passed away in November. From there we have new tunes from Shintaro Sakamoto, Budos Band, Laetitia Sadier, Goapele, Andreya Triana and some older music from a band that recently got themselves back together, the Dutchess & the Duke. In the second hour there’s an extended set of tracks from the Ultimate Breaks & Beats collection, in honor of Breakbeat Lou coming to LA. Enjoy!
