Cool shit that the Monolith Cocktail founder and instigator Dominic Valvona has pulled together, the Social playlist is a themeless selection of eclectic tracks from across the globe and ages. Representing not only his tastes but the blogs, these regular playlists can be viewed as an imaginary radio show, a taste of Dominic’s DJ sets over 25 plus years. Placed in a way as to ape a listening journey, though feel free to listen to it as you wish, each playlist bridges a myriad of musical treasures to enjoy and also explore – and of course, to dance away the hours to.
Starting off on a romantic note (via the Hungarian siren Sarolta Zalatnay and Kentucky troubadour Jim Ford)Volume XXXIX in this fine series traverses mechanical new wave (Populare Mechanik), experimental mambo (Ry Cooder & Manuel Galban), space age chanson (Popera Cosmic), bouncy jazz (Mouse Bonati Sextet) and hip-hop (YZ, WC And The Maad Circle, Kanck Free Media). You can expect to also hear various peregrinations, the odd, the diaphanous and energetic dotted in between.
