SHIGETO guest mix, plus new music from LONE, L-VIS 1990 + TAYLOR MCFERRIN are featured on this week’s program. WIDMAN kicks off with lush piano-driven broken beat from LONE’s new album “reality testing”, then dark deepness from detroit’s cryptic HOW TO KILL label and the DIAMOND VERSION project from RASTER-NORTON’s CARSTEN NICOLAI. the first hour midsection continues with UK artists specializing in grime meets house–including L-VIS 1990 from MODESELEKTOR’s recent compilation–following with portland’s STRATEGY, then slowing things down with DEEP MEDI don V.I.V.E.K and a jazz explosion from BOBBY MCFERRIN’s son TAYLOR (on FLYING LOTUS’label). starting close to a quarter before the second hour, we have a very special guest mix from GHOSTLY INT’L artist SHIGETO. recorded live at chicago’s SMART BAR, the performance is mostly a DJ set, punctuated with live improvisations and extended versions of his own tracks. we don’t have a tracklist, but SHIGETO turns out an engaging set of bass-heavy abstract hip hop that will have you both nodding your head and moving your feet (or in your seat). WIDMAN returns for a denouement honoring the late great jazz messenger HORACE SILVER. [aired 19 june 2014]
