Raw Cuts Radio

6.6.2008

Celebrating life, giving thanks, remembering to relax, checking in with ourselves and you. Maple Soul and Skip Jones set it off right with Bob James, The O'Jays and Quincy Jones. Kool and The Gang, Ohio Players, Prince, and Lou Rawls bring the rhythms to shake your sprit into the right spot. Donny Hathaway and Marvin Gaye keep it very live. Vive Obama!

5.15.2008

Things are getting HOT this afternoon in Oakland... Kool and The Gang bring the vibrations, Curtis does it live, and Rev Al Green keeps it feeling like summer. Serious heat coming from Herbie Hancock. Folks might burn themselves chasing love up against the sun. The mercury does not lie...

4.17.2008

In a slammin' 2 hours: The birth of Herbie Mann is celebrated. We get a move on with Louis McCord. Benard Wright and The Gap Band shatter all your childhood stability with a Hoyoblitrip and an Oops Updside Ya Head. Local Bay Area producer Mophono remixes The Shuffle. And just when you thought the attic was safe from surprises, Skip Jones chalks up the blackboard for the heads who want to know with a Kool and The Gang / J Dilla sample moment... get down on it.

4.2.2008

We are blessed by guest, local Oakland, CA resident, humus loving, Miko Burkholder and his soulful saxophone to jam along with us.  Rick James, The Whispers, Indeep, and The Rance Allen Group keep the party rollin'.  Treats for your head by Trouble Funk, George Duke, and some very heavy Love in them Hills from The Pointer Sisters.

3.20.2008

Rhythm that won't quit, funky jazz for the groove, and soul for your heart. Step on board along a trip through Grover Washington Jr., Deodado, Aretha, Hank Ballard, and Tower of Power to name a few. Be reminded of the Principles of Pleasure and get that Jamaican Funk Into You.

2.28.2008

Solid blends of the raw shakers from BT Express, Gladys Knight, The Black Byrds. Heavy soul delivered from Albert King, The Impressionist, Curtis Mayfield and others. We even throw in some Luther and Berry to get your rub on. Don't sleep on the Delfonics/Ghostface switch up to tie it all together.
