A nice mix of music from a great site for Brazilian music. If you missed the mix, listen here… And if you like this type [...]

Sound Travels: Fresh Funk, Aid For Africa!

Sunday’s Sound Travels is a bit different than I’ve done in the past. Normally I do the selecting, mixing and editing of sets all myself. No problem, I love to do it. Well this week, I caught wind of a nice mix from a cat by the name of DJ OBaH, who has put together [...]

Sound Travels: Dubplates, and A Whole Lot More…

Sound Travels Wednesday Dubplate Special Mix

On recommendation from Jordan, I got back to some real roots music for me– old-school dub. In some ways, the dub is simply reggae on an instrumental basis; but for me that is only partly true. Many of the songs that I played for you all on Wednesday have other [...]

Sound Travels Wednesday: Angola 70 II

Sound Travels Wednesday Angola 70 Mix II

More of that Angolan fix for you. The sound is Semba and the vibe is revolution, mixed with pervasive social change. I love the music for the way that it makes me feel. More than for lyrical content, as I speak very little Portuguese and even less Bantu; I [...]

Sound Travels for you all again as we get into the first week of September.

Namely India and Jamaica, which is in an area of the world [...]

Sound Travels Wednesday

Sound Travels Wednesday Up Full Mix

And another reggae potion for you all today, just working out the island sound while we still have a bit of summer to do it in. And our start was with a “Kingstep” of a cut from UK toaster Pato Banton, whose work in the early eighties with UB40 and [...]

Sound Travels Monday… Global Summerfest!

Sound Travels online with a the details on a set that was centered around the global position of Milwaukee’s own Summerfest. And though it can be hip at times to deride it, the fact remains that Summerfest is the world’s largest of it’s type, and with it come some global implications as well as some [...]

Sound Travels Monday…Modern Mexico

Sound Travels monday : Modern Mexico II

Set numero dos coming at you like a locomotivo, due South from the Texas-Mexican border sounds of Paulino Bernal, bringing the Mexican border towns to mind and the sound of master squeezbox artists like Flaco Jiminez. Of course Bernal has the weight, old in his school so-to-speak. El Gran [...]
