Some folks told their friends and they brought their friends. Then some old college friends showed up. Then some friends who were having a business meeting over drinks caught the boogie in their bodies. Then all the people who’ve been asking me “where do you spin?” but always forget the answer all showed up at once. Then it turned into a packed, joyous classic style house party. Then folks were doing a Soul Train line at 2 a.m. to the full 8 minutes of Earth, Wind & Fire’s live version of “Sun Goddess”.

Apparently this was all the New Year’s partying that some folks needed.

As these events were developing, I was playing out of my “make you shake your ass and sing along” repertoire. But before all that, we was chillin’ and this is how it went down. No categories on this post, just a few noteworthy joints.

Boogiemonsters – “Recognized Thresholds of Negative Stress” (Stressless Mix)

This has always been and will always be my jam. But being the contrarian that I am, I rocked the smoothed out remix last week. It definitely has its own charm.

The Sunburst Band – “Far Beyond”

This is an old staple of mine that I had to put on ice for a few years because I played it too much. Then when I bring it back out of retirement, it’s new to everyone! Another fantastic usage of Ahmad Jamal’s “Swahililand”.


Dorothy Ashby – “Cause I Need It”

Swingingest harpist I know of, and source material for some of Pete Rock’s best work.

As usual, your presence is requested.

Didn't feel like it had a place on my site but folks asked for it so here it is.

Listen to me be corny at midnight and play a shit ton of Q-Tip, Prince & MJ! The handful of trainwrecks happened while I was being nagged by wack requests. It all balanced out when I got a $10 tip for ATCQ.
