For the podcast, we'll have no lists, recaps or round ups - just a look forward to what I hope to hear more of in the year to come. Copious amounts of soul, dancefloor edits, hard bassy breaks and spacey beats, a bit of rock and roll and a French whatnot as well.

Major looks to Michael Kiwanuka, Shy Girls, Electric Guest and Alekesam. Sbtrkt of course.

Seattle's own Christian Science is an original partner over here. We go waaayyy back. Supreme homie. No better way to begin our Solid Sounds Friends series.

Since our early DJ days together in the Northwest, Christian has gone on to build a crazy successful club night at Seattle's Lo-Fi. The night, and his crew, are called Dug. They specialize in the rare records.

Christian Science regularly releases mixes called "Things We Like". This SSLA submission is a part of that series. The focus here is on latin vibes but trust, dude has everything under the sun.

Find a full tracklisting and more on our boy Christian under the friends tab @
