The Continuum

In the Pocket takes you on a two-hour journey through the global diaspora of groove — from Fela Kuti’s Lagos to the South Bronx of Willie Colón, from the samba-funk of Rio to the dub yards of London.

G Mateus weaves together classics and fresh 2026 releases — including new music from Peter Matson & JKriv on Favorite Recordings, IREKE on Underdog Records, and Hollie Cook on Pressure Sounds — connecting the dots between Afrobeat, Latin jazz, Memphis soul, reggae, and cumbia with an ear for the deeper thread that runs through all of it.

This is music with roots, routes, and a pulse you can feel.
