Tamar Osborn in the studio

Gilles spins new tunes and invites saxophonist Tamar Osborn into the studio. Plus, Pos from De La Soul tells us about the making of Stakes Is High, 30 years later.

Gilles spins new tunes including tracks from JNR Willams, Otis Mensah, and Steve Spacek, and invites jazz saxophonist Tamar Osborn into the studio. Tireless, creative collaborator, Tamar has just released her first EP as a bandleader, Varier : Berlin, which gathers recordings of an improvised session recorded in the German capital.

Plus, we hear from Kelvin Mercer, aka Posdnuos, Plug 1 and Pos, a third of the legendary hip-hop outfit De La Soul, sharing an exclusive remix of Stakes Is High by J Dilla, 30 years after the album was released.
