Drake’s Radio Ep. 23: No Tempo Dos Sonhos with Ricardo Paris

This is a selection of rare soul and jazz tracks from original pressings albums from my private record collection.

Having growing up listening to anything from Velvet Underground, to Pink Floyd, The Cure and many other important rock bands from 70’s - 80’s from my sisters old cassette player and later developing an eclectic taste in music at such a young age around 12.

Later I have discovered Hip-Hop and after that everything changed for me with my love for music.

I remember my first ever purchased Hip Hop album back in 96 was the “Beastie Boys – The In Sound From Way Out!” Instrumental which is a very important album in my collection and is still in original shrink with the Cisco hype sticker! (laughs) it was all open doors from me afterwards discovering many samples from the original soul and jazz records used on those hip hop albums my early start record collection digging for jazz / funk / soul and more, this selection is divided half of the tracks are soul and the other half is jazz.

With this selection I would like to take the listener in a musical journey into time exploring the world of soul and jazz, a track from my first Hip Hop album and some of the samples not just in a conventional way but to just listen and dream, 'In dream time.'
