I don’t know what to really call this music: global bass, nucumbia, electro cumbia. I like electropical because the name describes what the music is - tropical beats with electronic elements.

I have been trying to find music like this since about 2000.  This list is a bit of my journey. I hope you like it.  And please comment with friendly additions!

Tru Skool Tuesday: Radiant Hip Hop Coming At’chya

About one year ago, several emcees and producers blessed me with a collection of hip hop that became my first long-standing internet mixtape! “Radiant Souls Mixtape Vol. 1“ was an instant “classic” (in my eyes, at least), both because of the diverse people who came together to create it, and the various ideas and forms musical expression represented. Because it was such a successful project, i decided to do another one!

Radiant Souls Mixtape Vol. 2 is shaping up to be as good and more representative of hip hop’s global presence. Artist contributions have come in from the U.S., Nigeria, Namibia, Germany, South Africa, and elsewhere. To say that i’m excited about the Feb. 13 release of volume 2 is an understatement!!! I hope you are looking forward to it as well.

Stream, download, and share “Radiant Souls Vol. 1,” and please spread the word about the next installment! More details will be available soon via facebook and my “mixserv” (message me to sign up). Thanks so much for your continued support.

Much Love
