I knew this Brazilian JazzFunk workout sounded familiar! When I bought the mp3 in 2010, I didn’t realize it had been sitting on my shelf since 1999 inside the “Mundial Muzique” 3xLP on Guidance. I just had a facepalm moment while looking it up on Discogs.

Great NuSoul tune from Ben Grayson’s album, “Let The Love”, released on Raw Fusion in 2008. Available where fine music is sold and streamed.

I heard this for the first time while digging through the bins at the now defunct Rhythm & Culture record store in DC 10 years or so ago. I had not been aware of the original “Ghost Mix” until I heard Doug Smith (of 95 North fame) play both mixes back to back. I then...

Here’s some Afrobeat to start off the new year in style. The original vinyl LP and single don’t come cheap, and neither is the compilation that features “Kilimandjaro My Home”, along with many other great Afro Rhythms. That’s where online music stores and services come in.
