    Ian's next level, anyone within a 10 hour radius should make the trek (unless they have a party to throw )

    Yes, yes, yes, me too.

    And here's a few things that'll make my crate for the evening:

    Soft Touch - Plenty Action (Sundance)
    Beautifully harmonized Bay Area funk dig at small time hustlers.

    Pages - Mack (Sunstruck)
    Underrated flip to 'Heartaches & Pain.'

    The Connection - Here & Now (instrumental) (Arab)
    Flip over crapola MOR reggae vocal & - voila! - instant instro Jamaica funk (that's what it is).

    Dave Hamilton - The Deacons (TCB)
    Detroit organ vibes n' stuff.

    Clarence Reid - Rockin' Chair (Dash)
    He wrote it, he sings it.

    Gloria Williams - Sister Funk (Downtown)
    In homage to our esteemed guest selector.

    Royal Five - Say It To My Face (Tyler)
    Classic 60s Philly soul rewrite of "Tighten Up." Special dedication to all the two-faced scumbags out there (can you tell I've had a difficult week?).

    & as Fat Joe would eloquently croon, so much more...

    Come to the pavilion.

    Thanks Mao! My wife and I had a great time drinking, laughing, and listening to some monster chunes. I had a feeling we were sitting in the midst of a NYC strut massive, but weren't sure who folks were so we kept to our California selves.

    Absolutely. Another solid Travis Biggs production.

    Thanks to all who came out!

    Oh reeeeeally???? I must remember to point this out the next time some UK DJ arrives here all balls-out and then flakes by midnight. All talk and no trousers as they say on the BBC.

    Music was great, also from that warmup DJ. My ears seem to get a bit blasted in there with the new speaker config though, especially when standing up, which is how I gauge my drunkness.

    yeah, unfortunately, in the new booth everything seems deceptively quiet; it's tough to gauge how loud it can actually get in the rest of the room. we'll try to be a lil' more gentle on your ears next time.
