CHANNELING W/ IVAN SMAGGHE & NATHAN GREGORY WILKINS

Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.

EDNA MARTINEZ - Champeta on Cassette

Champeta on Cassette is a selection of rare, unreleased, and instrumental tracks that are essential to Cartagena’s champetúa culture. Producers like Raúl "Romy" Molina handed their music directly to picó owners, allowing fans to feel and learn the tracks before their official release. Cassettes were the pulse of Bazurto’s market and the underground bootlegging scene. This mix revives that raw, magnetic energy.
