Cimafunk: “Caramelo” (Live in Studio 6A)

By: Jack Anderson

Congrats, we all survived another SXSW! There were some uncertainties going into the fest’s first physical iteration in two years, but it’s safe to say that the city pulled it off in a way that felt pretty dang close to the pre-pandemic days. While we take a much needed breather, KUTX will recap some of the best recordings collected at our Studio 6A showcases, starting today with airwave favorite Cimafunk. This Cuban-born singer (and his stellar backing band) proved that they truly can move a crowd and get heads bobbing any time of day, 9AM in the case of last Wednesday. Cimafunk brought the bari sax and trombone onstage well before noon and doled out some sweet Caribbean-style caffeine with a high-energy set that included “Caramelo”!

Social Dissonance: “Nightstalker”

For others though, the elements of Spooky Season might as well be part of the daily routine three hundred and sixty five days straight. And you […]

Gary Lindsey & the Pleasure Tide: “Idle Hands”

When it comes to co-curating sounds for a city’s specific scene, certain artists and venues can often become inseparable. So when the band breaks up or the venue closes its doors, it’s like their counterpart loses a big piece of their identity as well. And its with reverence and empathy that we now point to […]

Beth Lee: “Another Day”

When you’re going through the motions, relying on routine thought loops, and not taking “carpe diem” to heart, life can feel like it’s the same sh*t, different day…over and over again. But bless yourself with the small gift of variety every once in awhile, and you’ll soon find that you’re thriving rather than just surviving. […]

Hayden Butler: “Old News”

Feeling comfortable can quickly devolve into a dangerous game. One weekend you decide to kick back and relax with a six pack, then the next thing you know you’re stuck in a daily routine of gettin’ smashed and trashing your home. Yeah, substance abuse and addictive tendencies aside, that “recliner decline” is a slippery slope […]

Co-Stanza: “Bet On Love” (prod. Neoma & Jim Eno)

For a lot of industry folks who have “made it”, they’re more than happy to use their powers “for good” by helping to boost the profile of “the little guy”…to pretty much whoever’s willing to pay their fee. On the other hand, while Public Hi-Fi headmaster Jim Eno retains a well-deserved rate for most clients, […]
