For this seventh show on Radio Primavera, we go trippy and tropical. It starts with an exquisite calypso from Trinidad, released in the 60s and kinda nasty, then maloya with keys, from Mauritius Island, a deep reggae instrumental, afro percussion with a twist, gwo ka with synthesizer, afro funk, afro cosmic and electroid afro disco, ending with a tempo for a hot dance floor. A journey that will put you in a "trippycal situation".

For my sixth show on Radio Primavera, I’ll link two of my old loves : Motown and reggae. Of course the field has already been explored but I’ll add my own touch, going further than the classic releases from Trojan (I'll include some of them, of course, because I can’t forget them). There will be rocksteady, reggae-soul, dub, and even a surprising digi reggae disco song, sung out of the tune. Then you understand how Smokey Robinson, Norman Whitfield or Holland-Dozier-Holland also had a huge impact on the Jamaican production. Ah yes, I’ve maybe put too much of The Tempts, but hey I liked them a lot.

March 2 is the 30th anniversary of the death of legendary French singer and poet dandy Serge Gainsbourg. To mark the occasion, Victor Kiswell pays homage to one of the key figures of French music in the second part of the 20th century. "I'll explore many facets of the man, from 60s jazz for soundtracks to his reggae vibes, going through semi classics and obscure tunes, songs he sang or songs he wrote for others," Kiswell says. "Listen to this like a journey, my own interpretation of his work, a score to his life."
