Today’s mix is like an after-hours midsummer night’s cooldown from the dance party marathon that was the Summer Pop series of podcasts. It is also a sequel (of sorts) to the most popular podcast so far — namely the second 2Bougie2Strong (Jazz & Soul) mix. This one doesn’t have any jazz instrumentals but it is chock-full of electronically infused funk and sultry soul cuts, and of course the purple one makes an appearance early on.
With the title “What happens in Appalachia stays in Buenos Aires” I’m obviously paying homage (with this sweaty mix) to the love story of the summer, between S.C. Governer and King David admirer, Mark Sanford and his South American paramour. Playlist is below the fold.
2Bougie2Strong # What Happens in Appalachia Stays In Buenos Aires
By the way these soul-inflected 2Bougie2Strong mixes (as opposed to the straight hip-hop ones) are partially inspired by 2 podcasts I regularly listen to and download, and that I cannot recommend highly enough: Black Market Funk by Poor Ragged Rascal and Nu-Jazz by Don-Ray (these are also both available for download on iTunes)
