Recommendation of the Day – Karmasound – La Búsqueda
This album is fast becoming something of a ‘go to’ mood enhancer for me. If I feel like I need a little lift (let’s face it who doesn’t these days) I reach for this album. I’ve been a big fan of Karmasound since discovering his EPs on the always on point Phuture Shock label, but nothing prepared me for this album. It’s on the jazzy broken beat tip that you might have noticed is a favourite with me, but this album is so much more than that. Have a listen, I guarantee it will bring a smile to your face.
Recommendation of the Day – Footshooter – Libations & Movement
Time for a new feature in these crazy times we’re living through. I thought I’d post a music recomendation every day to keep us all sane. First up, a brand new EP of amazing music from Footshooter for the Dance Regular label. Following on from his releases on YAM and Rhythm Section (as one half of Saul) we now have this epic new EP Libations & Movements. Loads of great guests on this one; singers, rappers and poets adding to the vibe. Musically it’s a rich soulful, jazz inflected broken beat tapestry that sounds great on the home stereo but no doubt will rock the club, when that kind of thing is legal again. One track is available to stream at the moment and comes with bandcamp pre-orders, but you can get a sneak peak at a second track towards the end of my mix here too.

There will be another MyHouse YourHouse lockdown livestream session tonight. Lots of new music that’s floating my boat lined up to play tonight. Whilst the Noods shows take a more eclectic approach, going to keep these MHYH shows more on a dancefloor tip. Show starts from 6pm tonight here
