The Mothership Jazz Connection 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.
Soul Kitchen Revival Recorded!
A groove-heavy set of 1970s soul, funk, and jazz fusion featuring both vocal and instrumental tracks from legends like James Brown, Curtis Mayfield, and Herbie Hancock, with plenty of rarities and surprises. The mix moves between deep funk, smooth R&B, and jazz explorations, maintaining a sophisticated but danceable vibe throughout.

The Hammond Organ Chronicles Recorded!
Excellent evening, but sadly, the battery on the recording device died halfway through, so we only have a record of the first two hours. That will teach me to cheap out on fresh batteries, now, won’t it?
Blue Note Daydream
Lots of 80s, but also a variety of soul and jazz and some world music. Neglected to record the set at all!
Electric Soul Wormhole
Regrettably, this show was not recorded, although it was quite fantastic. Definitely involved a lot of world music and vintage jazz.
July 20, 2024 at Radio Room Recorded!
Another fantastic night at the lovely Radio Room! The posse was otherwise occupied this evening so we had to put our elbows up, but I really managed an enchanting blend of vinyl. My goodness you’re going to enjoy listening to this set, I can assure you.

Okay, this was a fantastic set, but unfortunately my recording device had its batteries die and so it didn’t get recorded. Bummer.

Well I had a record skip on me, and at one point I left a fader up, so I’m not posting the recording this time. Nevertheless, lots of folks came down to wish me an early Happy Birthday, and I was thrilled with some of the cuts I dug up, so I’d consider the set a resounding success.

This set ended up similar to the previous evening’s, but since no one present would have heard it, what the heck. There was a lot that worked here, and some of the combination and blends were very fun to listen back to.

An all-vinyl set consisting of about 50 records, and my first time at this lovely venue.
