The Space Between Songs

1hr 3 min
For the last few episodes we've traveled across cities, countries, languages, cultures, and sounds. We've crossed oceans.
We've ridden the Magical Music Bus through neon streets, underground clubs, jazz cafés, rooftop parties, and late-night train stations. But this time around...The bus is parked.
No passports required. No customs. No destination. Just a moment to remember who we are when the world gets quiet. This episode is known as "The Space Between Songs."
It's dedicated to anyone who's been moving too fast.
Anyone carrying a little too much.
Anyone trying to remember the person they were before the notifications, before the deadlines, before the endless scrolling. Tonight we're slowing down.
Taking a breath. And spending some time with artists who deserve far more attention than they're getting. No superstar playlists. No Top 100 countdowns. No algorithms telling us what we should hear. Just great music. Music created by artists whose work quietly changes lives one listener at a time.

The road begins quietly. No loud announcements. No flashing lights. Just the soft hum of an engine… and the sense that something new is unfolding.
This time around, the Magical Music Bus rolls into 4 countries — not with noise, but with rhythm. Places where melodies feel ancient, magical and futuristic at once. Outside the window, colors move like brushstrokes across these lands. Cars and Motorcycles hum around many cities, and conversations drift through the air. Somewhere in the distance, a soulful voice rises and refuses to be ignored.
We’re not chasing charts this season. We’re chasing the dreams hidden inside melodies, the desires carried in basslines, the quiet parts of ourselves that only music seems to understand. Let these tracks meet you where you are — and maybe help you discover who you’re becoming.
From neo-soul whispers to indie R&B reflections and pop confessions that linger long after the last note, this journey moves through voices meant to travel beyond borders. So take a seat. Let the world soften.
Find your window. You’re riding with the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. Season Seven — On the Road Again.
The journey is already in motion.

This episode was written somewhere between cobblestone streets and quiet realizations.Between missed turns, long walks, train windows, and moments where time slowed down just enough to let the truth catch up.
Italy didn’t ask me to change.It asked me to pay attention.
Episode 100 lives in that awareness.
---------------------
This is Episode 100.No flex. No fireworks.Just heart, breath, and truth.
This one isn’t about talking over tracks.It’s about letting the music carry the weight—like a soul finally exhaling.
This episode is a love letter.To myself.To you.To anyone learning how to stay standing when life tries to fold them.

1hr 47 min
The heart of Italy is beating in 4/4 time — and it’s louder than ever.
In Episode 99 of Overlooked Tracks, host Kenny Chiba takes you on a sonic adventure through Italy’s underground house and electronic scene, where passion meets precision and the dancefloor becomes pure art. From deep, hypnotic grooves to soulful club anthems, this mix is a journey through rhythm, emotion, and the unmistakable Italian flair that makes every beat feel alive.
Featuring some incredible artists including Marco Faraone, Fabio Florido, RISE, Daddy’s Groove, Deborah De Luca, and more — Electric Amore builds from silky 90 BPM moods to 120 BPM of pure nightlife energy. It’s a moment of deep love for the craft — a celebration of DJs who spin stories instead of just songs.
Turn up the volume, close your eyes, and let these Italian frequencies move you from the first drop to the final fade.
Episode 100 is on the horizon — a historic milestone for the Overlooked Tracks Podcast — but this time around, it’s all about the revolution of rhythm, the spark of soul, and the power of Electric Amore.
🎧 Don’t overlook the urban in you.

🌀 Ride the Bosphorus with us.
I’m Kenny Chiba — your cosmic bus driver and sonic guide — and in this episode we plunge deep into Turkey’s soundscape. Here, East and West don’t just touch — they collide, converse, shake hands, and remix. The Bosphorus isn’t just geography — it’s pulse, it’s groove, it’s the tubular vein where melodies flow between worlds.On this journey, tradition coexists with jazz fusion, rock chops echo in ancient alleys, and rap/hip-hop voices carry modern rebellion on old winds.
✨ In Episode 97 of the Overlooked Tracks PodcastWe let Anatolian psych, jazz fusion, and boundary-breaking hybrids rise — from Anatolian soil, through crowded bazaars, out into the cinematic sky.

What’s good, fam?
You’re now tuned in to Episode 96 of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast. And guess what? We're still riding aboard the Magical Music Bus — your one-way ticket to the most vibrant, vital, and overlooked sounds from around the globe.
Last stop? We were deep in Chile, where protest anthems and Andean soul lit the sky with revolution and rhythm.
But this time? We’ve crossed oceans and landed in the bold, beating heart of West Africa — Nigeria.
This ain’t just another pit stop — it’s a cultural collision, a sonic uprising, and a global vibe transmission from Lagos to the world.
I’m your host Kenny Chiba — your music selector, narrator, and guide through the grooves less traveled. And this time around, we’re tuning into a musical landscape that refuses to be defined. This is more than Afrobeats. It’s alté, afro-fusion, spiritual jazz, rebel soul, and DIY cool.
Buckle up. The Magical Music Bus has no brakes. Let’s go!!

There’s a sound rising from the foot of the Andes… not one sound, actually—but many.
In the shadows of Chile’s history, in the glow of its digital future, a vibrant chorus is coming alive. It doesn’t play by genre rules. It doesn’t chase algorithm gold. It breathes in protest, poetry, and passion. And for this episode, The Overlooked Tracks Podcast is tuning straight into it.
This is Episode 95, and we’re riding the magical music bus right into the heart of Chile—where independent artists are flipping tradition on its head and remixing cultural roots into something fierce, strange, and deeply human.
Each track on this episode is a postcard. Each lyric a landmark. Each beat a brushstroke of Chile’s ever-shifting, soul-filled soundscape.
Because music? It’s not just what we hear—it’s where we go.

They say the blues is a ghost genre—faded into vinyl grooves and backroom dive bars. They say it’s been overtaken, out-streamed, and out-hyped by shinier sounds and algorithm-friendly beats.
But let me tell you something, fam... the blues didn’t fade. It just lit a cigarette, leaned against the amp, and watched the world catch up.
This is Episode 94 of Overlooked Tracks, and this time around, we’re not just spinning records—we’re testifying. We’re tuning in to a genre that’s not just alive... but kicking with fresh boots and electric grit.
The DNA of the blues is everywhere—threaded through rock, soaked into soul, sampled in hip-hop, and sizzling inside Americana like being served some southern fried kitchen on a hot sunny day.
Festivals are booking blues acts again. Venues are filling up. And young cats are out there bending notes with fresh pain and wild hope.
For this episode, we’re gonna take a ride—from Maxwell Street grit in Chicago to global groove. We're shining the spotlight on artists who are pushing the genre forward without forgetting where it came from.
Because the blues? The blues is not some museum relic. It’s a living, growling, adaptable spirit. It changes suits, but never loses its edge.
Now turn that volume up. It’s time to feel the weight and the wonder... of the blues!

🎙️ Episode 93 – Keybeaux: Hustle, Heart & Harmony
What’s good, everyone? You’re tuning into the 93rd episode of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast, where the rhythm speaks louder than algorithms and real stories echo past the charts.I’m your host, Kenny Chiba — your MC on this never-ending search for soul-stirring sound and sonic truth.
For this episode, I had the honor of connecting directly with a creative powerhouse who’s been making major moves behind the mic and behind the boards — Michael Burton, better known as Keybeaux.

Welcome back, rhythm seekers and crate diggers—this is the Overlooked Tracks, Episode 91, and I’m your host, Kenny Chiba, and this time around we’re riding a global groove that swings smooth and rhymes sharp. We’re dipping the mic in brass and vinyl, flowing with the spirit of Jazz Rap and Hip Hop that knows no borders.
From smoky street corners in Prague to rooftop jam sessions in California, U.S.A. this episode is a sonic passport into the soul of jazz-infused hip hop—a genre where the kick drum swings and the saxophone testifies. We’re talking MPC board meets Miles Davis, boom bap with a blue note twist, and lyricism that sips espresso with Coltrane.
This is the spiritual follow-up to Episode 90, but now the basslines walk, the samples breathe, and the flow is as cool as Thelonious Monk in mid-solo.So sit back, lean in—We Got the Jazz. We Got the Jazz.
Let’s press play on something timeless.

What’s good, everyone? You just touched down where the pavement talks and the bassline breathes — welcome to the neighborhood of rhythm and rebellion.
This is Overlooked Tracks, and you’ve just stepped into Episode 90 — a milestone moment, a lyrical landmark, a cipher in time dedicated to the kings and queens of cadence, rhythm, and raw production.
This time around we ride the pulse of hip hop, rap, and producer maestros — those behind-the-boards alchemists and mic-slaying storytellers who turn pain, pride, and poetry into pure gold.
