Curated by DJ Joshua Justice
Hey pals,
DJ Joshua Justice of Static + Distance here with a selection of songs designed for a spring stroll.
We begin with a cut off the excellent Tropical Drums of Deutschland compilation, “Troubadix In Afrika” by Rüdiger Oppermann’s Harp Attack before mellowing things out a bit with Mike Cooper’s “Paumalu.”
From there, we head into the field recording heavy waters of Stevie Wonder’s “First Garden” off the soundtrack to Secret Life of Plants (a “green” movie if there ever were one!).
Lula Côrtes takes the reigns next with the sublime “Harpa dos Ares” before we slow things down even more with the appropriately titled “Green Is Here” by new age pioneer Ray Lynch.
Julianna Barwick’s “Crystal Lake” is up after that (coming from their album Nepenthe, a S+D favorite).
As we close in on the end of our journey, Vashti Bunyan’s “Heartleap” rises like a prayer before the expansive “New Green Place” by the Baird Sisters closes out the mix.
If you dig what you’ve heard here, then be sure to tune into Static + Distance, alternating Sundays at 10am PST. Until next time…
Xo,Joshua
