As the great-granddaughter of Cuban vocalist Miguelito Valdés and Panamanian singer Silvia De Grasse, Sofía Valdés’ connection to music has always been personal. She made the bold decision to weave that influence throughout her debut album, in which she fuses traditional Latin elements with fresh, modern production. Each song on the record serves as a bridge between past and present, allowing her to honor her roots while forging her own path.

After the high-energy U.K. Garage set with Disclosure in our last episode, I decided to slow things down by bringing in more ethereal vibes and fresh dance remixes. The set's highlight was "All In," an incredible team-up featuring enigmatic electronic music producer Malaa and R&B sensation Jeremih. This new track marks a pivotal moment for Malaa, who recently unveiled an alter ego and announced an ambitious double album exploring dueling personas.

We shared some amazing tracks in this episode, kicking it all off with Chicago’s own Jesse Baez, whose upbringing in Guatemala allowed him to immerse himself in a rich fusion of both cultures. His artistry reflects this dual influence, blending smooth R&B vocals with vibrant Latin alternative sounds. Baez recently dropped a brand-new project titled HENRY (High Earner Not Rich Yet).

While curating my weekly set, an email hit my inbox that made my day: “New music from Disclosure ft. Pa Salieu – King Steps.” Of course, I was all in! Disclosure, one of my favorite electronic duos, teaming up with British-Gambian star Pa Salieu, who just dropped his project, Afrikan Alien. Hell yes!But the excitement didn’t stop there. When I asked the label if I could feature a full set from Disclosure, they approved — and I lost my sh!t (pro tip: You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take).
