I am over the moon about today’s pick – it’s life-affirming music from the great Roman Norfleet, this time joined by the stellar Be Present Art Group. Plus, some excellent news from Matana Roberts (speaking of greats!) and Souled American (again!) – a lovely day all around. Keep putting good things into this hellworld y’all. […]

Their early records on Constellation were a huge jumping-off point for me, and in a city and on label […]
First of all, I just want to say that it is with great pride that I find myself writing this piece for the revived Foxy Digitalis. The original Foxy D site is where I cut my teeth, grew my sonic vocabulary, and learned about so much amazing music that was bubbling up from the global […]
