Cause & Effect – Polyrhythmics w/ Bee Gee
This episode of Cause & Effect is a rebroadcast of the 12/1/2025 episode of Biscuits ‘n’ Groovy w/ Bee Gee, which airs Monday mornings from 6-8am. This special episode revolves around Bee Gee’s recent conversation with Ben Bloom, guitarist for Seattle psychedelic funk band Polyrhythmics. It features several clips from the interview, and the playlist features several tracks and artists mentioned in the interview, as well as other tracks inspired by our conversation and select songs from Polyrhythmics’ 13-year discography, which includes 7 LPs, several EPs and 12′ singles, and numerous 7″ singles on multiple labels. Hope you enjoy it! Polyrhythmics played The Broadberry in Richmond, VA on Wednesday December 10th.
Biscuits ‘n’ Groovy w/ Bee Gee is all about groove-based music and positive vibes!
Let’s start everybody’s work week on a super positive note with anything and everything that grooves: soul, rock, reggae, psychedelia, triphop, garage, dub, R&B, funk, punk, jazz, ska, hip hop, breakbeat, downtempo…punctuated by positivity and affirmation to lift the mind and spirit. No guardrails for genre, artist, era or tempo–just chill, groovy tunes.
Bee Gee’s grooves to make your soul and body move and wake to the day in a positive way.
Funky sounds from all around, from Nola to Angola and every scene in between. A little chill, a little dance, some church, some rebel, some love and romance. Don’t touch that dial…sit down a while. Let’s drive those Monday commuter miles with some grooves and a smile on your cheeks for a stellar start to an awesome week.
