90% of the music I listen to is hip-hop. This can include "mindless" or super thought-provoking, intense lyrics, often accompanied by heavy beats. While there are plenty of exceptions to this, sometimes I just feel like listening to something melodic that requires very little thinking or attention. Thanks to my friend Edem, I was introduced to
Soulection- a record label, radio show and niche collective of creative music makers based in Los Angeles. Their radio show airs every Saturday from 10am-1pm (PDT) / 6pm-9pm (GMT) via RINSE.FM | 106.8 FM London. For those who cannot tune in, such as myself, they post the show on their
SoundCloud, which you can also download.
The music features a whole array of musicians, most of whom I had never heard of. I would describe the genre as soul mixed with electronic.Check it out if you're going crazy at your office desk, chilling at home or relaxing by a pool or beach somewhere (that's where I picture myself wanting to listen to it). My favorite part is, the radio show goes for several hours, so you can just leave it on without changing.
