Top of the week to you, Okayplayers. I know, it's Monday and there's little the world has to offer in terms of conciliation. But never fear, good people. The first day of the week is also reserved for providing it with a score, which we have gone through extensive research to bring to you on this deceptively cold NYC morning. This week's round-up features a double shot of exclusive mixes for your minds; a live set of deep house and funk from the mighty Mateo Senolia, a bachata refix party mix from the Los Rakas crew, a little history lesson from Stones Throw on the many phases and moods of Madlib's avant-soul&jazz personas Yesterday's New Quintet and a little love from the new-age funkateer Kindness. So without further ado, let the ear feed begin.
