January 25th marked the 19th anniversary of the influential D'angelo album, "Voodoo". Many of the artists who were involved with the project were reminiscing on social media about the experience of creating it. The core group of musicians on the album were part of a collective called the "Soulquarians". This playlist includes a few cuts from projects created by this collective. If you want to know more about the history and influence of the Soulquarians, I suggest reading this oral history: http://daily.redbullmusicacademy.com/2015/06/the-soulquarians-at-electric-lady

In the sentimental spirit of the holidays, I decided to do something different this week. This playlist consists of 100 songs that have been significant to me throughout the years for various reasons. Some tracks were formative, some are connected to specific memories or periods of time, and some have just been satisfying and stuck with me. Technology was making it hard to put them in the order I wanted, so I suggest playing this one on shuffle. Additionally, there were songs I wanted to add that were not available on either Spotify or Tidal. So it goes.

quick note: #13 has an alternate track for Spotify because they do not have the full Akira soundtrack in their database. I highly recommend this album, which was re-released on 180 gram vinyl last year. The group that composed it is one of a kind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geinoh_Yamashirogumi

The Life I Live - Pete Rock

I had a conversation with a friend a while back about our favorite hip hop producers. As I recall, both of our top two were J Dilla and Pete Rock, except his number one was Dilla and mine was Pete. He was surprised by my choice, considering how pioneering Dilla was. I fully acknowledge Dilla's genius as well as the profound influence he has had on modern music, but there is something about Pete's aesthetic that resonates with me more personally. I love repetition in music. When a loop is composed or constructed well, it can be repeated forever and I won't get tired of it. (Another context where this comes up in the music I listen to is with 1970's Malian groups such as Super Biton de Segou and L'Orchestre Kanaga de Mopti.) Pete Rock's loops are deep and hypnotizing. I enjoy playing drums along to his beats to practice pocket, but also because the act of playing one phrase continuously is meditative. I get to a point where my limbs are on auto pilot, locked in to the music, and I am visualizing the sounds.
