radio waves from space

In this episode Ive incuded a track from my favorite musical discovery while living in Melbourne, Miso along with some roots tracks from Overproof sound system and the Congos. Also included is an overlooked west coast cat Vontel that I think has been slept on and more 90’s east coast hip hop goodness from Afu Ra, Greyboy ft AG, Brand Nubian with some classic latin grooves from Cal T’jader and Sergio Mendes.

Apologies for the wait between episodes, Ive just moved north for the winter (so to speak) to London, and im sure some of my sonic discoveries and influences here will seep through to the RWFS listeners.

A bit more about Miso, they were the most interesting musical discovery I made while living in Melbourne. I highly reccomend checking out their live show if the opportunity arises. RWFS was lucky enough to catch their last 2 shows before disbanding as a group.

Their sound gravitates around melecholoy trip hop inspired grooves, influences of 90’s portishead, dj krush and the trip hop sound do seep through their set, but they definantly have their own spin on it. The band have a great stage presence with an ever changing lineup of quality musicians with Supina’s serene vocals giving tracks an otherwordly quality. Do check out their music at their myspace page. Word is they have recently reformed and are presently working on their debut album which I can’t wait to hear.
