    The Swap Meet 1 February 2026

    This week in the stack we celebrate birthdays of Joe Sample and Rick James. RIP Sly Dunbar. It's forty years since Janet Jackson's Control dropped, so that's in the mix too... Otherwise it's the usual - papering over the cracks between Brazilian boogie, Turkish psych, bit of Latin, jazz-funk, soul, whatever else made sense at the time. Three hours from the crates as usual.

    The Swap Meet 11 January 2026

    Sorry for the bCast delay! This week's show was helmed by Jubt with special guest OoGuN of Drunk Elephant Sound in tow. Tunes ranged from spiritual jazz, central african electrified thumb piano, West African highlife, Syrian dance floor bangers, and heavy UK dub pressure to boot. You know what it is: from gospel, jazz fusion, or cooking it up with of Nigerian and Ghanaian music from the golden age, not to mention OoGuN's own goodies to join the mernagerie of Italian library bits, a Latin twist, something for the Deadheads, and a UK digi rarity that settles all arguments about who's the baddest. Press the button whynot?!

    The Swap Meet 7 December 2025

    Welcome to our latest dig with K&J are back with another three hours of global funk, soul, and rhythm that spans four decades and about as many continents. This week's selections run from Karriem Riggins' jazz-inflected collaboration with GENA and Liv.e on "Circlesz" to the sunbaked Braziliana of Vania Bastos and Chico De Abreu, with detours through Tokyo city pop courtesy of Kaoru Akimoto's "Wagamama na high heels" and some proper Nigerian funk from Mannix Okonkwo. Whether it's the yachty sophistication of Hamish Stuart's "Midnight Rush" or the raw energy of Goat's "Ouroboros," every track here earned its spot through one criterion: prone to induce ear-worm infestations. Press play on this bcast for the full experience: from which pressing of Ramsey Lewis you need to hunt down to the scene that birthed Jimmy Salcedo's Colombian psychedelia. Forty tracks that prove the best funk has no borders, and a universal visa!
