words

better late than never . . . finally the Hiatus Kaiyote words & music special.
met them in Berlin this summer again and recorded a few bobs and bits,
filled that up with music now here you go. just in time for the start of their
european / german tour 2015. go and see them live, it's a blast.

a little female section to kick off this weeks show . . . sad to hear
about the passing of Diane Charlemagne whose unique voice gave the
inspiration for a whole generation, Inner City Life ! R.I.P. !
more from the Gloria Ann Taylor LP, now out via those lovely
people at Luv'n'Haight California ! Lizz Wright always welcome
in the show, what a tune that is from her new album !

Second part back into summer 2015, a live recording of a pure vinyl
selection at Parkside Afternoon by yours truly.

enjoy the music ! michael

finally we made it, had Matthew Halsall on the phone a few weeks ago just one day before
he took off to his first trip to South Africa with the Orchestra. Halsalls music has been
a constant part of the show and my homelistening ever since he released his first
album. Now with his 6th album "Into Forever" he steps ahead, bringin vocals into
the world of the Gondwana Orchestra. brilliant. Thanks for taking the time Matthew
and i highly recommend to check him at this years Überjazz Festival in Hamburg,
where he will play two sets, 30-31 October that is.

kicking off the show with a few full length versions of brilliant tracks,
more on the jazz side of things with the replay of the full version of "Space Cassava" on
heavyweight orange vinyl, new project by Niko Schabel (Radio Citizen) and
Tom Wieland (7 Samurai), more St Germain and then into a couple of house tracks
which i am feeling right now . . .

soon come: words & music with Fat Freddys Drop. its an annual thing.

enjoy the music ! michael
