This is a loose jazzy-worldy-beats mix. Plenty of nu jazz, some killer beats from Georgia Anne Muldrow and FSOL, plus some mindbending musicianship from Tangents, Tony Allen, Nubya Garcia and Ezra Collective. Try dancing to Nate Smith’s Skip Step and you’ll discover the hidden beat in a seemingly 4/4 banger. With Floating Points, Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra collab as well, it’s all here.
Oh and did I mention the bit where Rollerball (1975) predicts both the corporate takeover of democracy and knowledge, and Google’s search engine?
Do you choose freedom or comfort?
