Weekend Frequency Vol. 15 | Slow Burn Funk, Soul Heat, and Crate Gold by Le Cache Dulcet

by | Jun 13, 2025 | MUSIC, WEEKEND PLAYLIST

Richmond gets it. Maybe more than any other city in Virginia. So here’s Weekend Frequency—a reader-curated playlist built for the city, by the city.

This week’s mix comes from Pat, the crate-digging selector behind Le Cache Dulcet, a café/record store at 109 E. Broad St. known for its deep vinyl cuts and dialed-in coffee.

“This playlist is a glimpse of how I see life right now. Most days I’m spinning everything from ’70s funk to early 2000s rap to drum & bass—what we specialize in at the shop. There’s only one new track on here: the latest single from Clipse, who I’m pretty sure are about to drop the album of the year. For me, this is storytelling. Don’t be tasteless. Shop at Le Cache Dulcet.”

Check them out Wednesday–Saturday, 12–8 PM, and Sundays 12–6 PM.

Weekend Frequency is part revival, part continuation of our long-running RVA Mag Weekend Playlists. Dig into the full archive [here].
