Sanguine Soul: Drums and Fire

New Sanguine Soul webpage is up! Wow, Shelmatic and I worked on that shit the whole friggin' weekend, trading off on one edit, another edit, and more until we came up with this template. If anyone out there knows how to do a drop down for our tracklist, but without stopping the audio player if it's being used, please let us know! That would be the illest right there.

So for this episode we brought "drums and fire", quite a fertile concept I think for a mad range of musical nastiness. Definitely expect more conjunctions in the future. Escaping those dichotomies but still producing a magnetic tension which inspires creative thinking and artistry. Big ups to The MF Gaslamp Killer for hooking up the Q&A, and if you haven't copped it yet, peep his new mixtape, Hell and The Lake of Fire Are Waiting for You! We talked right before his show at Paradise Lounge with UK's Andy Votel; wrote a little short something on it here. Now that's some swarming drums and fire.

Sanguine Soul: Summer Madness

Kool & The Gang's "Summer Madness" doesn't sound quite the same in the consistently mild temperature of San Francisco summers. Once every couple months the mercury still rises, definitely a lower threshold in this breezy city, but a beautiful one that sends thousands onto their stoops and the streets. And I still have my memories of Los Angeles' horribly burning asphalt, the ghastly humid thickened heat in New York and Philadelphia, as well as the endless sweat and daily reports of elderly deaths when I used to live in Paris, the frugal city of no air conditioners.

On the last Sanguine Soul radio show, we premixed some summer jams while making Korean / Chinese / Vietnamese BBQ at Moss Studios. Definitely a few classics thrown in the mix as well as a newer strain of sun drenched tunes for your listening pleasure.
