The Mothership Jazz Connection
at from 7 to 11pm
This set featured soul, funk, jazz, and international sounds from the 1960s through the present day. I wandered between instrumental jazz cuts, reggae classics, French pop, and deep funk grooves, aiming for a consistently soulful and rhythmic atmosphere throughout the evening.

More Shows
Bye Bye Dry!
Basically the opposite of the previous show, this featured lots of vintage rock and tons of quirky indie stuff. A deliberately unusual show just to shake things up. It was a lot of work, because the songs were quite short, but the vibe was good.
The Gigantic Hibernation Liberation Party Recorded!
Oysters, Dancing, Tarot Card Readings, tacky 70s music… and no cover. What’s not to love. The selections I chose brought together funk, disco, jazz, soul, and global grooves, blending classic anthems with deep cuts and left-field gems for a richly textured, rhythm-driven experience.
The Mothership Jazz Connection (this show) Recorded!
This set featured soul, funk, jazz, and international sounds from the 1960s through the present day. I wandered between instrumental jazz cuts, reggae classics, French pop, and deep funk grooves, aiming for a consistently soulful and rhythmic atmosphere throughout the evening.
Interstellar Groove Command Recorded!
An evening of funk, soul, jazz, and rock much like some of my recent ones. I feel like I found a good vibe for the overall evening. Was pulling random 70s stuff right up until the last minute.
