I am finally BACK ladies and gentlemen, delivering some new tunes in the form of my 5th official OrsiiCast! Sorry for the long wait, but as you know, there has been a lot going on. However, during the long wait, we have somehow slipped into the month of May and hopefully with some nice weather approaching, I thought I would put together a little mix perfect for outdoor activities in the sun, such as BBQ’s or perhaps a lazy day in the park. This baby is packed with some funky goodness, a few old ones, a couple of newish ones, and plenty booty shaking ones. I think this quote from the beginning of a James Brown song fits in rather well with the essance of this podcast:
- What you ‘gon play now?
- Bobby, I don’t know… But what eva I play, its got to be funky!
And with those words from the funkmaster himself, I will leave you to it. Enjoy my friends!

As promised, I am back with a fresh selection of great tunes, just in time to lay down the soundtrack for the coming week (which hopefully will be as sunny as previous one). The 4th edition is a nice blend of soulful sounds, funky beats and warm harmonies. It includes Speech Debelle’s latest single “The Key”, two amazing tracks from Mayer Hawthorne and The County (my latest obsession “Maybe So, Maybe No” being one of them), and a mix I made of one of my favourite songs of all time, California Soul by Marlena Shaw, plus one of the best remixes I have heard of the same song (by Diplo if anybody is interested). I had some major technical difficulties making this podcast, not to mention the difficulties I had actually uploading it. However, it is now here, for all of you to enjoy. So turn up your speakers and press play, this little bad boy deserves a bit of extra volume.

I have been waiting for some sunshine in order to upload this latest podcast, since spring and sunshine was my inspiration when I made it. But after having it ready for almost 2 weeks, and no sunshine, I thought I would upload it anyway. Who knows, it might bring out the sun if you play it. Although I must admit, I did some last minute changes to it… But only because I got some new music that I thought worked perfectly with the tracks I already had. So yes, now it feels complete and I do hope you will like it as much as I do! To be fair, there are some pretty damn good songs on there. A new tune off Bullion’s latest EP “Young Heartache”, a very recent obsession from Hudson Mohawke, and some general feel good music. So come on people, put a smile on your pretty little faces and let’s celebrate the wonderful season that goes by the name of Spring!

I am too tired to actually write anything that makes sense. However, I woke up to the track below this morning, and it has been on repeat in my head all day. Made me think of Anna, and the fact that I haven’t really seen any of my friends, or been out for ages. Anyway, just thought I would share… To listen to the whole podcast (that put this song in my head to begin with) just head over here and download it.
After a week with some beef with the internet gods, I have been able to upload the latest podcast! I was asked to compile a jazzy hiphop one, and of course, I rose to the challenge and started digging in my little music collection to find some delicious tunes that you guys might like. Its been done for almost a week now, and I would say there is a little bit of old, little bit of blue, little bit of new and little bit of borrowed music in there. Although people who know their hiphop would most probably say that it is packed with some classic songs. I even tried it out at work the other day, where I got the response “Where you even born when most of these songs were out!?”. My answer to that was: “You’re never too young to appreciate good music”. So I hope you enjoy!

Hello my lovelies!
It’s Friday the 13th today! Let’s hope nothing horrible will happen to any of you (or myself! I mean, what would you ever do without me!? haha) Thanks to all of you who have been messaging me and commenting on the podcast. I must admit, it is a bit overwhelming to get such lovely feedback on my first attempt. And since you are so nice to me, I have decided to let you in on a treat!
I have collaborated with Jeej on a special podcast to mark the occasion of this Anti-Valentines day (yeah, it is Valentines day tomorrow. In case you forgot and you have a partner, I would suggest you act quickly!) You can find the podcast and the tracklisting here.
I hope you enjoy it! Tune back this weekend because I have some more sweet stuff lined up for you.
Much love,
Orsi
