Los Angeles has played encouraging parent to a growing beat scene for almost a decade. What started with the likes of Ras G has since sifted into the weighty FlyLo/Brainfeeder generation and out the other side. @Soulection are the latest family curating a set of releases high on feeling and emotion. Tentatively started in 2010 as a music/culture blog by Joe Kay and 96, it eventually blossomed into a radio show and platform for free flowing instrumental concepts. The ethos was simple. To collate a stream of what the world offered within the boundaries of their soulful DNA. So despite how cavernous the internet can be, they’ve moulded themselves into a culture ripe with vibrancy and consistently exciting music. We got Joe Kay to put together half an hour’s worth of soul food for you to munch through this weekend.
