  • magifica scelta musicale

    Una radio di alto livello e cultura musicale. Il mix che hanno nella polaylist è vario e piacevole nell'ascolto. Probabilmente solo nel ripetere alcune canzoni facendole ascoltare due volte di seguito, disturba un po'. (lo stesso pezzo in due versioni diverse). Per il resto è bella da poter ascoltre in viaggio in bici e a casa. Buon ascolto a tutti e buon lavoro alla RDIO.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Smooth Groovers Licensed Podcast Season 18 - Beyond the Groove Series Ep307
Q: And as an honor for me to talk to you, because you're such a dedicated person going through the creative press. I'm really personally interested in how you developed your style, your tone, also interested in your creative space.
Blake describes a fluid process where some melodies come in minutes while others take months, stressing the importance of personal voice and the influence of a wide range of artists. He emphasizes collaboration with others and the joy of self-produced phases, while also valuing live performance as a source of inspiration.
Smooth Groovers Licensed Podcast Season 18 - Beyond the Groove Series Ep300
Q: You've got a lot of upcoming gigs and new material—what can fans expect from your current projects?
Guests describe ongoing collaborations, new singles, live performances, and three major project strands: a reggae jazz album, a CD called Conversations compiling recent singles, and a live fusion album featuring guest players, with plans for a broader release timeline.
Smooth Groovers Licensed Podcast Season 18 - Beyond the Groove Series Ep298
Q: How do you approach developing your unique tone and style as you work with different collaborators?
I listen closely to the artist's influences, then translate that into a groove and melodic shape that fits their voice while keeping my own identity intact. The process is highly collaborative, but there's always a through-line of what makes the guitar sing in a way that's unmistakably me.
Smooth Groovers Licensed Podcast Season 17 - Beyond the Groove Series Ep276
Q: Is it harder to do from a melody perspective to create music?
There are different combinations that can work for me; sometimes I hear a bassline and build from there.
