Playlist: Funky Summer (Vol. 1)

DJ Setlist: Funky Summer – The Best Music In The World, BBQ Edition, January 5, 2018, San Fran
Well it wasn’t BBQ weather. It was barely summer. And it wasn’t really funky – though I tried. It was pretty much just me and the bar-staff. It’s always a punt this time of year, and when the weather turned from sunshine to storm in the middle of the day that sealed the fate really. […]Archive

And I’ve been building a kick-ass vinyl collection of Stax, Motown and old-school classics as well as some more modern hip-hop, soul-groove […]Archive

It’s always lovely to be back at The Golden Dawn and playing some records – as I was just the other day, on Friday night, early shift – 5pm-8pm, setting up the evening, sending off the afternoon. I decided I’d try to play all 7s. And that was generally what happened. A couple of newer […]Archive

Playlist: She-Bop 2 – The Best Tunes From The Best Women In Music (DJ Set)
Last week I played a bunch of records in a bar, only songs by or featuring women. I’d done it earlier in the year and it was time for another run. A pretty cool set of songs I reckon. So I decided to share them with you just as I did with the earlier DJ […]Archive
