Carolina Soul - Jazz Special

Carolina Soul is a record seller based in Durham, NC, USA. They specialize in rare and classic soul, boogie, gospel and modern obscure tracks from the Carolinas and beyond, mixed with all-time bangers and ballads.

The Big Happy Show

Mr. Big Happy is a graphic designer, artist, DJ, and music archivist from San Francisco, California. While he is an accomplished designer and artist, over the years he has always had a love for music and spends time searching for rare and obscure vinyl. Big Happy’s focus is the late 70s into the late 80s - modern soul, funk, boogie and disco.

Soundtrack

Soundtrack cuts from a fruitful period of Taiwanese cinema in the 1980s and 1990s, where the small nation punched well above its weight culturally, birthing the careers of auteurs like Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, and multiple academy award-winner Ang Lee.

"New Taiwanese films aren’t exactly action-packed. If you weren’t in a charitable mood, for instance, you could say that films like Rebels of the Neon God and Vive L’Amour are really just about a bunch of people who look sad, wander around impersonal city landscapes, and feel that life is pointless." - Andrew Emerson, Film Inquiry
