SOUND⚡WAVES | Vol #19

SOUND⚡WAVES | Vol #19

A few weeks ago we were mining the depths of Spotify for something fresh to play in the shop, something with high enough energy and a slick enough beat to keep the vibe alive, something that would unexpectedly match the roars and rumbles of motorcycles and old trucks coming and going, something that in all likelihood wasn't playing over the loud-speakers at any other shop in town. We landed on 'Black on Both Sides', the 1999 debut studio album by Brooklyn's prodigal son Mos Def.
As soon as DJ Waves heard what was going down, the basis for the next SOUNDWAVES was born. But Waves didn't just create another playlist jammed with all the old-school hip hop bangers and MC classics. That would've been too easy. And plus, there's already a thousand of those playlists on Spotify already.
Here, in Volume 19 of SOUNDWAVES, DJ Waves has woven together almost three hours of classic breakbeats, addictive pop-rap, old-school hip hop, trippy jazz-rap, alternative funk, and gritty rhythm and blues. From Young MC to Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5 to MIA, Fantastic Negro to Chakha Khan, Outkast to Lizzo, Digable Planets to Marlena Shaw, The Bongolians to Mos Def and more.

The Bikeriders: The 1960s photography that inspired the film

The Bikeriders by Jeff Nichols and starring Jodie Comer, Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, and Norman Reedus, has been entertaining audiences for months now. But many people are surprised to hear that the film was actually inspired by a 1968 photo series by American photographer and filmmaker Danny Lyon.

Natsukashii - a vintage Japanese Kayōkyoku playlist by Steeltown

Definitely our strangest playlist yet. Before Japanese Idols and J-Pop there was Kayōkyoku. A genre of music influenced heavily by western rock and roll and usually had easy to follow melodies, sentimental narratives and straight forward lyrics designed to be relatable to the everyday Japanese person.
