Medicine Show No. 10: Black Soul

Seventy minutes of deep-crate soul and psych-funk reconstructed into a hypnotic, long-form beat tape. Dusty, warm, and relentlessly rhythmic.

It's like finding a box of the best 70s soul records you've never heard, all melted together into one long, perfect groove.

A deep, hypnotic immersion into the warm and dusty archives of 1970s soul and funk.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The seamless transition ten minutes into the opening track where a jagged funk riff dissolves into a lush, string-laden soul loop.

The heavy, hypnotic bassline of track 4 that seems to physically pull the listener into a trance-like state.

The way the percussion in track 9 mimics the mechanical rhythm of a heartbeat beneath a layer of distorted vocal samples.
