words.

with much pleasure i do say welcome to another edition of soulsearching.
Including loads of very good stuff, from the lo-fi minimal soul adventures of 2013 to super hi-fi fpsychedelic soul from 1971.
and a heavy dose of bass and poetry (Anthony Joseph !), swingin nicely alongside a brief peace out to Nelson Mandela and
keep it up, one of the coolest cats in jazz, Horace Silver. Then iZem once again delivering it, and a guy called Jon Cooper aka Turtle on a real high, down low. bangin beats by Salvia Kamili and Spacek, amazing free interpretation of a classic by Malauwi as rediscovered by Amir Abdullah for the love of music. And Al Kent closing the show on a more than positive vibe.

In between a very dope and heavy dose of mixtape action by Lord Echo out of Wellington/NZ. Inspirations - Informations.
check his album "Curiosities" for niceness out of the echo chamber . . . soul is the word here. Jams to make you just feel good.
what else can you ask for ? yeah, probably a dj set and liveshow over here i'd say. bigthanks Mike Fabulous.

next show will be the annual "what the world needs now" edition. my present for you to keep you warm and safe into 2014.

merci bien, thanks a lot, muchas gracias, arigato, obrigado, dankeschoen for listening to soulsearching.
to be continued in 2014.

peace,
enjoy the music.

Michael

words.

warm music for you, from slow & easy to heat & tension.
all across the boards. pure soulsearching style. including a few exclusives
and a request (yes, i do accept this !) . . .

and yet another brilliant guestmix, this time by the one and only Jonny Miller out of London.
you might be familiar with his name, he's been around for a while now, delivering the good
dj mixes and edits and all that. "soulful afro deep . . . 23 years in the game..." as he puts his on his
soundcloud page. check him out whenever and wherever you can. thanks so much for this mix , Jonny!

next week all the way to new zealand, once again: Lord Echo words & music special.

off to Munich now, a bit of DJing and then on sunday: Hiatus Kaiyotes last show of their European tour 2013.
can't wait to meet & talk to Nai Palm and the band! watch this space.
(could not hold back playing this breath taking live version of "Breathing Underwater" recorded at KCRW in LA recently)

but for now,
jus' listen &
enjoy the music,
yours truly
