Finally, the first Fresh Taste of 2023 is here, and it’s jam packed with splendid music, mostly from the second half of 2022. The highlight of this edition is that we have the joy of playing two tracks from our friend and collaborator Mike Clay aka @alldayjam, including an amazing upcoming song titled “Listen Father”, out on February 23.
You can pre-save the track right here: https://bfan.link/listen-father
To fit the mood, we are in “Morning Meditations” mode for the first hour with smooth soulful cuts from the likes of NxWorries, SAULT, Little Simz and Bobby Oroza. We crank things up a bit in the second hour with funky jams from Seun Kuti with Black Thought and Kutiman, even going into jungle and D&B territories with tracks by Floating Points and Fracture.
Shoutout to MC Tank Pumpin’ for the help with the selection.
Press play and enjoy!
