Thelonious Funk Sessions # 117 with guest mix by Sibonelo Zulu

Greetings,

sibonelo zulu Finally a new show for you to enjoy. This week's show kicks off with a nice triple play of James Blake featuring his "CMYK" track & tunes from his self titled album which has received rave reviews on various music websites.

Another tune is featured on this show from Jay Haze's love=evolution LP. New music and remixes Moody, Skudge, Marcello Napoletano & Soundstream.

This week's guest mix has been a long time coming from Sibonelo Zulu from South Africa. He features some cuts that you will not see from a South African DJ. He was also the first listener that reached out to me regarding the show.

Here's his take on his mix: "I was going on slowtempo throughout the mix. Playing the stuff that most people (especially in SA) don't feel comfortable playing. I am attracted to the music of Kyle Hall, amongst other Detroit cats... Specter never stops to impress me his deepness.

I have him on Sistrum, Exquisite, Downbeat and AMR. Liking stuff from that Lady Blacktronica, she recently released on Ksoul's label, Kinda Soul, that's worth checking out, but this time I played her on Your Only Friend Label, its 4 track EP and all tracks are worth it. (Sibonelo Zulu)"

So by all means...

Enjoy the music,

Henderick AKA Thelonious Funk

Hey Hendu. I like all Jame's tracks.....quite different from what "we" used to. Really nice music & ideas....

Pat Lezizmo

I send the link of this session to San Soda, as you are playing one of his tracks ;-)Thx for supporting our artists guys!

Sibonelo Zulu

That's killer EP by Kerri. All tracks are up there. I like the vocals used all over that EP.

Pat Lezizmo

Hey guys, been very busy lately so I'm catching up... :-)I love the show for same reasons, everytime there's something new to discover!In case you haven't heard of London based Maya Jane Coles >> She's defenitely one of upcoming top artists!!! Henderick you should put her on the show (if you haven't allready) ;-)Sibo: Your last track is so true! Got the vinyl in London and playing it since then!Thx for the music guys!CheersP

Long life to these sessions, to Deeprhythms and.. most of all to high quality music.Already looking forward to the next show while watching a video on youtube of the live version for the bbc of James Blake's The Wilhelm scream song

Henderick AKA Thelonious Funk

Hey Pablo,I must confess that I was not 100% sure of this show. I guess you notice LOL! But regardless The show is all about improvising. That's why it is a "session". Sometimes it turns out great & vice-versa. You never know... That's the exciting part of it. At least you are listening. I appreciate that the most. I remember when I was criticized constantly about me talking on the show but the truth is they still listen because the music is what drew them to the show... Period...

Sibonelo Zulu

Leif - Designed With That In Mind (Two Armadillos) [Fear Of Flying] That's one of the nice tracks I discovered thru' funk. I have the digital version, still keen on the physical copy.

Pablo P.

Henderick,Fully agree with you as well.Maybe you don¬¥t realize but for smb that does not have enough time to dig for hidden gems, listening to your and yout guests podcast is of amazing value.Thanks to you guys I discovered: James Blake, Wallis bird, Sonarpilot osaka, Aero Manyelo and many many many more artists that now I can buy tracks from, follow and see what is coming up.On top of that...is always a pleasure to hear your sweet voice at the beginning of each one.Even remember one podcast (think one or two ago when you said: ¬®I¬¥m a raaaverrr¬® hahaThis one, I just could not get into it... Cheers and hope to meet you one day either in Amsterdam or Chicago! ; - )

Sibonelo Zulu

Cool constructive comment by Pablo. R&S is a nice label. Also check track 27 to prove that.

Henderick AKA Thelonious Funk

Hey Pablo, I must say that considering that the show was not to your that was a great compliment. Especially when you have found a new artist to support in the end. That is what the show is about. There may be some tunes you may not understand for the time being but I want to make sure that I challenge my listeners to new sounds at all times... As for the James Blake, it's too bad that I found out about his "CMYK" track this year. It would have been in the year end review back in December. You can find the videos for 2 of his tracks (Wilhelm Scream & Limit To Your Love). Enjoy & thanks always for listening Pablo.

Pablo P.

Henderick... your mixes are always special since.. for instance, today I did not like it much but suddenly with those two first tracks you made me discover a new artist and two tracks I will be listening for long time.Thanks and best regards from AmsterdamPablo
