I’m on a music kick this Saturday afternoon! Spent a lazy afternoon feeling uplifted since music has a way of creeping into my spirit like that. Started by tuning in to the sounds of one of my favourite radio selectors, Gilles Peterson (amazing show today, featuring Lonnie Liston Smith and plenty of spiritual jazz and [...]
The awesome peeps at studiofeed invited lifelong friend Kevin Reigh and I to do a monthly radio/video program centred on reggae and reggae/dub- related vibes.
