Slo Get Up 6 - Guest DJ Roshin Mathew

The Slo Get Up by Wyatt Closs

Refresh yourself with this eclectic ode to water for summer. From the opening lines declaring 'I am the ocean...' by Mia Doi Todd, Swedish post-jazz stars Koop beckon us to go "Beyond the Sun" before Electric Wire Hustle helps us plunge into "Waters." Gang Starr, Danger Mouse, John Frusciante, Nina Simone, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Otis Redding, J Boogie's Dubtronic Science and more go into the aquatic world as well, each in their own way with this podcast before Osulade closes it out. This is a special one in that the guest DJ here -- my fantastic fiancee -- was one of the inspirations for The Slo Get Up in the first place. Now, she takes on the format and appropriate for July, its with a heavy nod to all things water. Oceans, rivers, submarines, wading, diving. Come on in, the water's fine.
