In The Groove: Kevin Saunderson goes hard in the paint, Yusef Lateef’s ‘Detroit’ + new Vince Staples

Editor’s note: This episode has expired. Listen to the most recent episodes of “In the Groove” here.

What can I say? An absolute insane honor to have the one, the only, the pioneer — Kevin Saunderson — take over the airwaves on In The Groove with one of the heaviest sets I’ve ever heard in my life.

A full hour!

Listen with the audio above (begins around the 120:38 mark).

Saunderson curate the Pyramid stage on Sunday at Movement with his KMS Records “Elevate Your Mind” showcase, closing out that night with Idris Elba — yes, he was a DJ long before he was an actor.
