Soul soul soul, as the Wild Magnolias once said. We’re awash with it this time out on WYWRadio, bringing a good mix of vinyl wonder, and some new tasty digital gems. I’ll let your ears do the work rather than my fingers do the typing, just be aware that you’re in for new stuff from the Moton edits crew, Roots Manuva, The Oufit, Paul Weller and Jamie XX. The ladies bring the soul pressure, outreach from Dionne Warwick, Sharon Revoel, and Zulema. Then in the second half of the show get your yacht on – two tracks from the Too Slow to Disco Volme 2 comp, plus some hot hot cheese from Farrell & Farrell, and Deliverance. To finish: a Braindfeeder double, Thundercat on his own, and as bass for the awesome Kamasi Washington. Speaking of which…

Three things:

– Kamasi Washington – The Epic is the album, and how rightly named. Three bits of vinyl 174, mins running time, and enough spirit that you can shake a spirit stick at. Channeling Alice Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, and lord knows how many other great spiritual jazz players, it’s essential if you’re ever feeling like going on a three hour jazz journey. Which, fair enough, some of you won’t be, but for those who do venture down the rabbit hole, you won’t be disappointed…

– Paul Weller – Saturns Pattern. I’ve had it on repeat. God knows what album this is for Weller, but this one has it all, psychedelic bits, choruses, doo-waahs, and all sorts.

– Perfect Motion – Not played on the show yet but a double LP of the second wave of psychedelia which apparently was about 1988-1991. Well, I was there, and it was craaaazy. Caroline True records has put out this great compilation to celebrate this time, with tracks from The High, Shack, Primal Scream, St. Etienne, the Pet Shop Boys (!) and other more ravey types. Bonza songs and lovely cover art too.
