Welcome to Season 4!!! (We keep saying S3, forgive us, we grown folks with bills lol)

But we are back! Happy to welcome a new season of The Soul Qurators podcast, and helping us getting this party started is friend of the show, producer extraordinaire and man of MANY hats, the one & only Zo!!! We talk about of course his wizardry of production & composition, his collaboration with Tall Black Guy as well as the entire FE Music Group, and his approach to live shows! We also spend time discussing his thoughts on working with new talent, being a parent and of course we make sure to give him all of his much deserved flowers.

What an amazing conversation with Zo! and we know that his longtime & new fans will enjoy this! We appreciate him sharing not only the artist and business owner that he is, but also sharing the man that Lorenzo is when away from the studio. Please continue to support Zo! in all ways, follow him on all social media platforms and of course, be on the lookout for new music!

The SQ3 Zo! Mix will be available on the Soul Qurators SoundCloud page, make sure to run it up!

We also talk about the eventual dissolution of the music centered week of the long running festival SXSW (South By SouthWest) and its impact on the current musical landscape. And we also consult the vinyl guru himself about the intricacies of vinyl collecting, how to properly store and care for vinyl, as well as his preferences on vinyl quality and disdain for colored collector’s editions lol! Jewels upon jewels.

Come get familiar the group Bathe! ChristinaCurates and Soops Kitchen talk with the “Surf Soul” duo and enjoyed a few laughs along the way!

The discussion was centered around their new album ‘Inside Voice(s)’ that was released in March 2025. Also, it was asked about what song the audience enjoys while they were on tour. Lastly, they gave their input on their ideal festival and who they would have performed. 

A lot of creative and perspective knowledge filled this show up! Enjoy the show and share with your music lovers!
