Brand new week and days remaining for the end of the year, got to be grateful.

I traveled afar and beyond, starting the journey with an abstract Ithiopia jazzy affair with The Heliocentrics & Mulatu Astatke, a visit to Scotland with Hudson Mohawke for some electrosoul, as Sweden was run the corner bumped into Erik L & Illingsworth for an instrumental fresh beat session, heading back to the Safari with Black lacing some smooth conscious hip hop, flipped the sphere to Japan then kicked it with Nobukazu Takemura, distance permitting hit two birds with one stone lounging Stateside with Eric Roberson & PPP and finally a travel back to Somali for an afro to the beat episode with K’naan.

From this long around the way virtual journey, the result is this fresh, eclectic and mellow soulful mishmash of tunes. Have a butchers and let it be known.
