Race the Sun is the first experience many of us will have of South African composer/producer Seth Williams. His EP, Journey To Love will be released soon to provide more insight into the musical mind of this son of an opera singer. Race the Sun is a melodic musical journey that will invoke comparisons to Madlib’s Yesterday’s New Quintet but is definitely in it’s own lane.

In case you missed the news, the 1st half of Karriem Riggins 34 track double album is available NOW. You can purchase the digi/vinyl at StonesThrow and get 17 tracks of smoked out, soulful vignettes composed primarily from samples similar to Madlib which leaves me still wanting to hear their Supreme Team collaboration.
