Audio Gumbo is a supporter and fan of The Remix on WRFG 89.3 FM, so it was an absolute honor to be asked to provide the soundtrack for the #BrittanyWhitneyTakeover segment from 12-2am. Co-host Brittany brought me on to share some Audio Gumbo flava and feed her listeners some sonic goodness. As always with AG, the goal is to expose, entertain and hip y’all to some dope, funky shit. Listen to the exclusive playlist below and download the full episode of The Remix here!
Every Friday someone asks me, “what’s happ’nin’ this weekend??” This will be the place for you to find out. If you have an event you’d like to submit to be featured, email me with the subject “Event Submission.” I’ll feature it, along with other events happening within the same time frame. If it’s particularly dope, I’ll feature a more detailed write-up of your event.
(Right now, most events featured will be in Atlanta, since that’s my base. I’m open to events country and world-wide though!)

I’m excited to announce our new Audio Gumbo weekly feature, Throw it in the Pot. A strictly sonic version of the website, TiitP will showcase a blend of genres all over the indie scene. Make sure you like Audio Gumbo on Facebook for updates on downloading the podcasts! The first episode is dedicated to the sounds and culture of New Orleans. Since it’s Fat Tuesday, today just makes sense to drop this mix. The music in New Orleans is rich in culture and soul–jazz and blues, brass bands, second line parades, bounce music–and it all derives from the retention of African tradition, music and fellowship found in the historical Congo Square. The tracks on this episode are wide-ranging but all reflective of a city that’s booming in the spirit of good times. The artists featured throughout are New Orleans natives and transplants, influencers and admirers. Enjoy and leave feedback! (more…)
I’m convinced there aren’t many things Jean Grae can’t do, artistically. Hell, probably generally too. Usually on her cool rapper shit, Jean has decided to do some cool singer shit on her new EP #5. Still full of witty, relatable lyricism and quirky production (alllll by Jean Greasy), this new EP is sexy enough for cuffing season and chill enough for alone time. Available for streaming but you should just buy it.

I honestly cannot get enough of Amerigo Gazaway. He has consistently dropped exceptional projects, chiseling out a body of work that is undeniably his own. His latest mashup comes from the “The Big Payback” tribute mix series, which featured “The 45’s” by DJ Scratch and “The Legacy of JB” by J.Period. Amerigo Gazaway’s “J.B. and The Soul Mates” is a mean re-conceptualization of James Brown’s funkiness paired with artists who have felt the influence of The Godfather in some form. Download it here and listen below.
Other than less clothes, sun-kissed skin, patio dining and New Orleans style snoballs, DJ Jazzy Jeff and MICK’s annual Summertime mix is the warm weather constant I look forward to most. Summertime Vol. 5 will prove to be the soundtrack to your cookouts, your pool parties and your bones tournaments. With Biz Markie on the intro and classic gems from Herbie Hancock, Zhane, Bell Biv Devoe, De La Soul and a long list of many more, your guests won’t want the party to stop. Gon and download it here and thank me with an invite. Or just save me a plate. Stream the mixtape after the cut.
Red Kotton is a relatively new, Atlanta-based independent music label and distribution entity. They pride themselves on showcasing and cultivating only the freshest, unique talents. Stay Tuned is Red Kotton’s answer to the mundane and the monotonous. Originally set to be a monthly event, Stay Tuned is a platform for artists on the cusp of success to share new music, wow new fans, and show the hell out, which is exactly what happened on Wednesday night. As host Anthony David proclaimed, there was not one wack ass song on the stage. That ain’t no an exaggeration.
The show opened up with the band Red Kotton Revival, which includes Red Kotton’s own Head of A&R Brandon Thomas. They played a rocked out version of Drake’s “Find Your Love,” setting the night up for the unexpected and newly imagined.
I’m really excited to share this find with y’all. Fatima, a Swedish-born, London-based soul singer, just dropped her debut full-length album Yellow Memories and it’s a jewel. Exceptional production from Oh No, Flako, Floating Points, Scoop Deville and Computer Jay create a well-rounded product of deeply diverse sounds. From beginning to end, the album captures a spirit of truth and nostalgia. Absolutely worth the buy. Favorite track: Ridin Round (Sky High). Stream the album after the cut.
