So many new tunes for this week, couple things I’ve been eagerly anticipating, especially Alice Russell & Quantic’s new collaboration, Robert Glasper Experiment, Quakers feat. Aloe Blacc, Frankie Rose, Adrian Quesada vs. Adrian Younge, plus some things that I recently heard that I been expecting, including Kendl Winter, La Chiva Gantiva and the pretty fantastic Minimal Waves collection. Finally dug into the Wendy Rene retrospective from Light In The Attic, expect to hear more from that, it’s beyond stellar! Enjoy the show…
