Featuring Marijuana Media with Chris Fowlie, thanks to The Hempstore, and this week's Cocktail Corner is mandarin extract twist on a michelada, thanks to Black Sands Brewing.
Happy Birthday the great Norman Whitfield, we spin a few of his productions, and also May marks 50 years since the release of Curtis Mayfield's landmark "There's No Place Like America Today", and also Emilio Santiago's self titled album, and the "Funk Factory" LP. Brought to you by K & J.
On the show this week we mashed up the fresh and classic material starting with the brand-new version of Mulatu's “Nètsanèt,” then into new gear from Leo James, Blue Lab Beats, Byron the Aquarius, Shokazulu, Zoeplar and Chaos in the CBD. We kept it classic with The Gap Band, Leroy Burgess, Rosa Maria, Sammy Obot, Val Young, plus an instrumental version of The Valentine Brothers’ “Money’s Too Tight to Mention.” There was also DJ-SUN, Paige Douglas & The Diddys, and Soul Inscribed. We marked the passing of Chuck Mangione with “Hide & Seek (Ready or not),” and closed the night celebrating Syreeta’s birthday with “Black Maybe” and “I Love Every Little Thing About You.” Bless up!
On this week’s Swap Meet @95bfm, Jubt was joined in the booth by the two Chrises: DJ Kurisu shared a handful of fine funky favourites, while Chris Leskovsek took us on a trip through South American cumbias, with stops at @LosMirlos, Ranil, and Juanaeco y su Combo among others.
