I was real into it. So into it that I didn't notice who was DJing.
It was a nice mix of shit that made me swing the fuck out and stuff that make get a little grit in my teeth.
Find that DJ. Get their stuff. Sounded pretty early era to me.
thanks! You guys have just made my year! Here is my set list; most of the picks I've gotten from reading this board - a big collective thank you to everybody! And even though it was a bit funky, I got a real kick out of Marcelo's Wade in the Water/Cottontail remix.....
I've asterisked the slow songs in the set; one of my favorite artists is Curtis Stigers, who was mentored by Gene Harris; I don't see him mentioned very much, he's worth checking out.
