Home (feat. Dele Sosimi)

Modulate | Sam tells us "the sound of Modulate is an expansion of what Universal Vibrations started. My core ethos remains the same - to create music for dancefloors, usually involving a combination of electronic and programmed sounds with organic, live instrumentation. I think the sound palette on Modulate is more diverse, but the musical focus is a little more refined.' - bandcamp | * | 0:46:31 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |

Puentes

Si la Cumbia Fuera Flor | Anís Guateque was born around a game of Catán accompanied by a bottle of La Castellana anise. Between each round, you can hear the occasional round of redondilla, accompanied by the banging of pots and pans and the scratching of the traditional bottle, which creates a rhythm that is well suited for dancing. This is how a group of young people will begin to bake and season a repertoire of tasty and spicy cumbias of their own, very "from Madrid", but with a certain Cuban and psychedelic tint. - home page (translated) | * | 2:40:27 (MP3 | Pop-up) | |

loving the sounds/vibes -- one world indeed! thank you for being here! 😺😺
(for real, the political name calling is literally killing me -- i guess it is easier to point fingers, instead of attempting to have any sort of constructive communications about different perspectives, etc.?!? *heavy sigh*)
ok, gotta get back to fixing food -- thank you for this beautiful soundtrack!

i am just curious to know how it defines "protect women," especially when one considers its previous remarks about how it is just fine and dandy and totally ok to "grab 'em by the p*ssy" . . . and "whether they like it or not" just displays an inability to understand the concept of consent, imho

...i was sitting with a woman yesterday on a public pateo when a man walks over, attracted by my wfmu t-shirt. he was a bit rude but well-intentioned, kind of a lonely old dead-head i guess...
the woman after an initial glance never acknowledged his existence again, for the >10 minutes he stood there.
he left and i asked her. she said she refused to talk with someone wearing a Kamala Harris t-shirt.
she said she only votes in local elections; and certainly wouldn't vote for Harris or trump.
yes Harris is terrible; but i see that as a wasted vote against trump.
we can try to fix some things once the out of control monster is at bay.

omg -- see, THAT is what i find so baffling! and disturbing, depressing -- this complete shutting down of communications! without even being curious (as opposed to argumentative, confrontational, etc.) about how this person has decided on Harris
