The response to new.currency® Episode 001 was something we didn’t take lightly. 3,600 views means 3,600 people who trusted the selection, and Episode 002 was built with that weight in mind. The mission stays the same: no genre walls, no filler, just music that earns every minute of your time.
Episode 002 moves differently than the first. The energy is deeper and more patient, the kind of mix that rewards you for sitting with it rather than skipping through. It opens with KTIZIO and Tiimie setting an immediate emotional tone on Broken Souls before Leon Thomas slides in with a Love Ave Afro Edit of Yes It Is that feels like the sun coming through a window you forgot to close. From there the mix finds its groove and doesn’t let go.
new.currency® – episode 001
The South African current runs strong throughout. DJ Maphorisa and Xduppy appear twice, first alongside Thatohatsi and Kabza De Small on Thonga Lam, then reimagining Summer Walker’s Heart Of A Woman in a remix that completely transforms the original without losing what made it essential. Kelvin Momo and Da Muziqal Chef bring Bo Gogo and Cooper SA pulls Othanda Mina into the mix with Makhanj and Stixx, both records carrying that specific amapiano warmth that makes everything around them feel more alive.
wavypack® Radio 020 – The Place Called Home
The middle of the episode belongs to the jazz-soaked and soulful. Erykah Badu’s Tyron arrives reshaped by Nala, Yanda and Tjune into something hypnotic and unhurried. Souliejazz offers the Soulified Mix of Never Forget, a record that lives up to its title. Cody Currie and Eliza Rose connect on Moves, and Abel’s Traveller comes through in a Sean McCabe Dub that settles into the body rather than the head. Nuage and Omfeel’s Soul’s Matter does exactly what the name promises.
The closing stretch pulls no punches. p-rallel shows up twice, with Dom Valentino and Tommy Gold on All I Need and solo on Can’t Be Me, both cuts quiet and precise in the way that only music with real conviction tends to be. Lokowat, BILLYG, and Zino Vinci with BXKS carry the international thread deeper before Naomi Sharon and Emwhy Ello close the episode out with Badman Pull Up, a record that leaves you exactly where good radio should: already looking forward to what comes next.
