G Mateus

today!

This week on The Rough Mix, we're tracing a wide arc through library funk, roots reggae, and edit culture — starting with warm Italian and Brazilian grooves, moving into Jamaican rocksteady, digital dancehall, and dub, then landing in Cuban salsa and Parisian disco reworks. Classics from Curtis Mayfield, Eddie Palmieri, and Gil Scott-Heron sit alongside sharp new edits and reworks from today's most inventive crate-diggers — a set built equally for close listening and the dancefloor. Catch it Mondays 9–11am EST / 2–4pm GMT on Totally Wired Radio.

In the Pocket is going Upstate Vibin' this Friday — broadcasting live from Ithaca, NY, deep in the Finger Lakes, with two hours of soulful sounds from the global underground.
New music from Jéroboam (Favorite Recordings), Gabriele Poso (AG Records), Banda Maje (Four Flies Records), Nubiyan Twist feat. Patrice Rushen (Strut Records), and more — alongside classic and deep cuts from Moodymann, Eumir Deodato, Tito Puente, Bobby Cruz, and Osunlade. Edits, ceremony, Latin jazz, Italian funk, Detroit soul, and Afro-Brazilian fire. The pocket travels.

Upstate Vibin' — The Rough Mix takes the show on the road for the next two months, and this is where it starts. The first episode moves through soul edits and roots reggae, deep into the Latin world — Fania-era New York, Afro-Colombian marimba, Afro-Peruvian house, Nuyorican Latin house — before passing through Kingston, Chicago, and Durban. South African giants feature heavily, the edit culture runs throughout, and George Clinton closes the book. Two months, on the road, every Monday 9–11am EST / 2–4pm GMT on Totally Wired Radio.

This Friday In the Pocket rides the high straight off a Knicks win and a World Cup that's had the whole city buzzing — Bushwick's still glowing, and the show matches that energy beat for beat.
Expect a wide-ranging pocket of Afrobeat, Afro-jazz, dub, disco-house and soul — rare grooves and reworks pulled from Italy, Cuba, South Africa, West Africa and the Caribbean. We'll be featuring new releases from Brian Jackson, Jéroboam, Louis Baker, and Rocky Marsiano, plus a fresh compilation off Mr Bongo Record Club.
This one's for the after-party energy — diaspora sounds for a city still celebrating.
