EXPERT OF NONE - STORYTELLING THROUGH LISTENING

Episode 2: Tuned In, Comped Out - Music Discovery Through Compilations

Presented by Dust & Grooves and Only The Wild Ones

Cut Chemist moves from early listening into discovery, pulling the cat out of the bag on how compilations shaped the way he (and we) discovered music.

James Brown’s In the Jungle Groove (yes! a compilation) and Ultimate Breaks and Beats, sets him on a quest for the ultimate break. Vinyl Dogs and Ethiopiques ignite a fascination with Ethiopian music and global grooves, while Dusty Fingers opens the door to a deeper dive into the world of rare grooves.

Pebbles, Alternative Funk, Pure Comp, and Charlie R&B continue to build his musical knowledge, forming the foundation for deeper digging and music production.

This episode pays respect to the compilations–and the experts behind them–that helped shape our musical taste and identity.
