[Podcast] Music Ninja Radio – Episode 46 (Recap)

Music Ninja Radio
Episode 46

Music Ninja Radio is a weekly podcast broadcast live on San Francisco’s BFF.fm — Best Frequencies Forever. You can tune in here every Friday from 4-6PM PT / 7-9ET. 

Last Friday’s show marks the one year anniversary since we took our talents to the airwaves of BFF in San Francisco’s best kept secret(alley). From deep in the Mission District, through the port of a pirate ship, we’ve been bringing the best of the best to your ears – Best Frequencies Forever wasn’t voted ‘Best Radio Station‘ in the Bay Area for nothing!

With that in mind, now seems as good a time as any to start providing our fellow Ninja readers with a weekly recap of our show, Music Ninja Radio aka Dojo by the Bay. Curating the best releases each week, themed shows coinciding with specific artist releases, and a fair amount of throwbacks sprinkled throughout, Music Ninja Radio has something for everyone.

The full show’s playlist can be found on the website’s archive here.

Gathering together 64 of the finest tunes we could get our hands on, this week’s collection is guaranteed to last you much longer than Duke’s tenure in the tourney.

Oscar & The Wolf, The Night VI, AstronauticaVökVeronica Domingues, Freddy HefnerRoyce Wood Junior, and OBESØN lead the group of fresh new faces to our series, while BANKS, Mara HrubyKwabs, Keyshia Cole, Kyan, Jarell PerryJaymes Youngabhi//dijon, abstract youth, and Fortune return for outstanding performances of their own. Fans of remixes are sure to be pleased too, as XONA, MisterMack, Nanpa Noir, Swindle, KR$CHN, Joan of ART and OverDo$e headline a sensational group of producers.

[NEW] Janelle Monae – Q.U.E.E.N. (ft Erykah Badu)

Dropping today with a new single, the eccentric and creative Janelle Monáe treats fans to the uplifting “Q.U.E.E.N.”. It has been quite some time since we last heard some new material from the southern singer and she definitely takes listeners to the dancefloor with this funky tune. Teaming with fellow crooner and the always innovative Erykah Badu, the two bring the fun and dance rhythms over some soulful Nate Rock Wonder production. This is the first single off Monáe’s follow up album The Electric Lady, dropping later this summer.
