Been looking forward to this show for a while, first “regular” version of Melting Pot in almost a whole month. Lots and lots and lots of new music, including new tunes from Dum Dum Girls, Atlas Sound, Headnodic, Veronica Falls, Total Babe, 9th Wonder feat. Phonte and then a bunch of amazing reissues, Googoosh out of Iran, Ilaiyaraaja out of India, Funky Rob out of Ghana and Zdenez Liska out of Czech Republic. It’s gonna be a couple weeks til we have another show, because next week there is a 9/11 10th Anniversary special going on all day, so enjoy this one until Sept. 18th!
