This is a weekly show by a DJ in Calgary, Alberta, Sideshow Sid. I've began listening to his former show, The Musiquarium, since about 2005 and when that show ended I feared for a bleak funkless future. However, Sid returned with this masterpiece show called Diggin' in the Crates. He plays pre-millenial (<2000 year) music only - mostly from vinyl, tapes, CDs, and even 8-tracks from his collection. Sideshow's deep dive into rare groove and funk leaves a wake of wavy events, thicc waves of funk washing through your quandrant of the universe, renewing your faith in the glory of music.

My road trip driving playlists are always filled with music I haven’t listened to, which in this case had a lot of highlights and lot of lowlights. However, at this particular moment, driving on this windy, sketchy road in the middle of the night, a two-song, self-titled single by Drill For Absentee with an unassuming cardboard album cover came on. And it blew me away. The music had intricate performances, complex rhythms that stood out without sounding too janky, and feelings that were equal parts tense and intense. Right after that, their five-song EP Circle Music came on and I continued to be amazed for every one. It was, in that moment, exactly the music and energy I needed to dodge potholes that I could barely see.

This playlist is about Afrobeat; music from West Africa combined with Western Jazz, American funk, soul influences and calypso. The beats along will shake from one side to another. Afrobeat was developed in Nigeria in the late 1960s by Fela Kuti. I listen to Afrobeat because it’s a global palatable sound and aesthetics which represents the spirit of modern Africa.

Although Silk Sonic has only been making music as a group for a year, they have gotten a lot of notoriety, and their debut album was 2021’s album of the year. Much of their success can be attributed to Bruno Mars, who had a successful career before making the group with his friend Anderson Paak. The album “Evening with Silk Sonic” has a 70’s groovy vibe to it, and the way the songs are arranged tell an exciting story.

“There are many reasons why I love this film, there is dog sledding, a sense of uneasiness at times, a murder, not knowing what is going to happen next, along with many more similar reasons. I personally love murder mystery movies and shows. Even though Sikumi (On The Ice) is not a mystery, it still give a sense of mysteriousness concerning Taqi’s actions and decisions.…”
