This week on Rhythm Lab Radio, we paid tribute to the Bay Area Soul/Funk singer Darondo (pictured), who passed away earlier this week. His 1973 tune "Didn't I" resurface thanks to tastemakers like Gilles Peterson and has been featured in shows like Breaking Bad.
We also featured new music from The Stepkids, Doomtree's Dessa, Quadron, Emika, and new remix of Rhye's "Open" by Milwaukee duo Kiings.
