January 2018 ~ Tranquility

in

"New Years is an opportunity to collectively step outside the rush of everyday life for a couple days and recenter. This year, these moments have been an opportunity to inhale deeply and find a measure of tranquility. To recognize tranquility as an important counterbalance to the urgency of our disturbing political and cultural moment. Like twin planets that keep each other in orbit through mutual gravity."

Featuring: Bedouine, Ron Miles, Claude Debussy, Les Filles de Illighadad, and more.

Fred Schmalz ~ The Retreat

in

"In the last few years, I have found my peace with the holidays. Mostly that has been through appropriating the time into a retreat: for writing and editing, (finally) reading the books that have piled up faster than I can get to them, and immersing myself in the records that followed me home like strays all year. It’s a gloriously indulgent couple of weeks. 'The Retreat' unpacks some of my 2017 favorites, nods to the Pacific, the wildfires, and even the recent Atlanta mayoral election."

Featuring: Juana Molina, Kamasi Washington, Cypress Hill, and more.
