Last year, Drake scored a massive, worldwide hit with “One Dance,” a dancehall- and afrobeat-inspired tribute to finding love on the dance floor. At the center of the song was a sample of Kyla’s “Do You Mind,” a 2008 single that’s a prime specimen of UK funky, a true-to-its-name genre of electronic music that mixes Afro-Latin percussion with British garage beats. You might just hear “Do You Mind” in a DJ set by Roska, a key figure in the UK’s dance music underground who helped develop UK funky at the end of the last decade.

Saturday: Three years after Serial convinced normal people to listen to podcasts, the long-form audio genre has become focused on a few big formats: pop culture chatter fests, vehicles for Obama White House aides, and chirpy accounts of unsolved murders. But the granddaddy of podcasts is still two guys sitting around and talking about nothing much at all. No one does that better—and nearly no one has done it longer—than Uhh Yeah Dude hosts Seth Romatelli and Jonathan Larroquette. Romatelli and Larroquette (the son of Night Court star John Larroquette) have been offering their skewed take on the news of the week to listeners since 2006, way before everybody and their cousin was doing the same thing.

Suggested donation. Sunday: Woodblock printing is one of history’s oldest continuously practiced art forms. It started out in Asia in the 8th and 9th centuries and came to Europe in the 15th. German artist Matthias Mansen started experimenting with woodblock printing while attending art school in the 1980s. The technique is relatively simple: Artists carve patterns into pieces of wood, cover the wood with ink, then press the block onto a surface. Mansen takes this one step further by using reclaimed wood and using the same blocks in multiple pieces, giving them a linked identity.
