Episode Synopsis

Kicking off this week’s ElecSoul with a classic from Galliano, one of the standout acts from the Acid Jazz era on Gilles Peterson’s Talkin’ Loud label. I’d been chatting on IG about the scene back in the day, and it reminded me how Galliano carved out a sound that went way beyond the standard Acid Jazz blueprint.

From there, I’m keeping close to that early crossover energy into the world of trip hop, breaks and dusty beats, with flavours that nod to Rae & Christian and Unkle. James Lavelle’s MoWax label was huge at the time, collaborating with artists like Portishead and pushing boundaries across sound and style.

You get the idea. This week’s selection leans into a bit of nostalgia, but not without moving forward. There’s even a cut from Felix Da Housecat tucked in before we shift gears into house, garage and some late-night footwork.

Hope you enjoy the ride, 49 minutes of memory, motion and movement.
