Artist: KCRW

The impact of the legendary Roy Ayers on soul, jazz, hip hop, (music in general) is immeasurable. The awesome KCRW DJ Anthony Valadez put this mix of some of Roy's best tracks as well as some of the best tracks he inspired (It's a seriously impressive list). And that's not all! The Homage music series is bringing Roy Ayers together with Pete Rock(!) and a live band to Exchange: Los Angeles Nov. 17. This is a show you absolutely do not want to miss. Seriously! We couldn't be more psyched!

J ohn Tejada's album has been inescapable in LA over the last couple months. There was an extremely painful time before the album's release during which the leading single, Farther and Fainter, was played more than just a couple times each day by KCRW's brilliant DJ's, and not being able to get my hands on a copy for myself nearly drove this guy into insanity. But thankfully, as of this summer, the cravings are no longer left unsatisfied. Dive in to the latest from Kompakt Records, and experience what Tejada's world of minimal, deep house [...]
