Real time Adventures // VALA FM
It’s #NewMusicFriday (Thanks Tay for the kick in the butt) and it’s been a tough day (RIP Bill Withers) and a tough month (RIP Sanity), but the music continues to find it’s way into people’s ears and hearts. I’m curious to hear what music will feel and sound like 4 months from now. Thundercat and Nick Hakim seemed to have tapped into the mood prior to all this. Listen to the full playlist here. Be safe!
Bruna Mendez continues to amaze me with her latest album plus classics from Dolly Parton, Ms. Jackson, Portishead and Biggie. On the new release radar are gems from Jerry Paper, Phenomenal Handclap Band, Bad Bunny and Thee Sinseers. Also brand new Tricky! Enjoy.

New songs pulled from my recent KCRW set except for the Terrance Etc. cut. Peep below!
Terrance Etc. – Infinince or Infinity
This song has been on repeat nonstop in my ear buds. From coffee runs to dog walks, on the road or while sitting in the steam room at the Y during work outs. Terrance has directed amazing videos and behind HBO’s Random Acts Of Flyness. And to hear his sonic offering has been a blessing to my ears.
DRAMA – Billy
An oldie but goodie. Got the chance to hang with them in Chicago while working on the Place In Sound podcast. Now signed to Ghostly, we are witnessing their growth, but Billy will always have a home in my heart.
Hanni El Khatib – Stressy
With Hanni, you never know if your getting grit, soul or even something other. I love that about his music. Wait Wait Wait still remains a favorite. This beat reminds me of 90’s Chemical Brothers. There are lots of things happening in this one song. I dig.
Thundercat – Dragonball Durag
The genius reigns supreme. Last night I played this song on KCRW and I wanted to figure out why I actually loved this song. Thundercat channels 70’s soul with 2040 lyrics. He connects worlds, but most importantly he’s having fun.
Ben Chandler – Sad Boy
Don’t know much about him, but I’m here for it!
2019 is off to a great start. New finds from Diego Raposo, Lil Simz, Clever Austin w/ Jon Bap and an exclusive from Ty Dolla $ign featuring Sounwave with Thundercat in honor of the late Mac Miller. Also the latest from James Blake, Toro Y Moi, Karen O w/ Danger Mouse + more. Hope you enjoy.

Fresh off the heels of his brand new release entitled Early Riser, Taylor Mcferrin breaks down his creative process and discusses his life and influences in music. He also breaks down what it’s like to team up with LA’s Brainfeeder label during recording and touring across the world. We also touch on the impact and loss of Austin Peralta. Make sure to pick up his new album! It’s on rotation Monday nights on KCRW and also I had to mention it on my latest session on WBUR’s Here And Now. Go grab that album! Hope you dig the chat!
Engineered by Ryan Woodhall
Production Assistance by Jon Oliver.
Host: Anthony Valadez
Big thanks to RedBull Studios in NYC!
Another incredible year at Mass Appeal’s SXSW Jump off featuring BadBadNotGood, Bishop Nehru, ASAP MOB, Thundercat, Flying Lotus, B.O.B, Future, NAS and much more. It was my final show before catching a plane back to LA. I had to head out before catching a taxi but when NAS began doing The World Is Yours, Nas Is Like and various other classics I delayed and it was totally worth it. Hope you dig these snapshots taken last night.
16 year old Zack Sekoff caught my attention with his beats and production work. I would later learn that this same kid plays bass, raps and had some production credit on Thundercat’s latest Brainfeeder release. Now 18, Zack opens up about his inspirations, doing musical theatre. what it was like to play Low End Theory and the night he learned of Austin Peralta’s passing. This is not your typical 18 year old. Zack’s perspective on life, creating and learning about self is inspiring. I hope you dig our chat! And make sure to stop by his soundcloud page.
I dig this! Last album took a couple listens to get into. But the more I listened the more I began to hear layers and appreciate the album. But this right here instantly kicked me in the head! Love the vocals. I could listen to this on repeat on an island forever and ever. Looking forward to the full length! Tracklist is below.
