About Rhythm Lab Radio
A 20-year journey through electronic music, jazz, and the deep connections between sound and culture.
What is Rhythm Lab Radio?
Rhythm Lab Radio is a music discovery platform hosted by Tarik Moody. For over 20 years, the show has explored the deepest corners of electronic music, jazz, hip-hop, soul, and the experimental spaces between genres — connecting underground sounds with the broader culture they come from.
What you'll find here
Every weekly Rhythm Lab Radio episode is archived with its full tracklist, embedded player, and editorial notes. Deep Dives go beyond a single show — exploring labels, scenes, and musical movements in long-form. Artist Profiles introduce the people behind the music, from established names to artists you should know about. The Blog captures everything else: reviews, observations, and the stories behind the sounds.
The mission
Music discovery should feel like discovery — not an algorithm's best guess at what you'll tolerate. Rhythm Lab Radio is built on the belief that curation matters, context matters, and the connections between artists, eras, and genres are worth tracing. This site is the working archive of that mission.
