Breakdown: July 29th on KPFK’s Melting Pot

End of the month and once again all on vinyl. Just judging from the calls we get on the show, it seems like these all-vinyl shows are far and away the ones that people respond the most too. It’s certainly fun for me to put together an interesting bag of records but purposely not plan the show and just see what develops in the mix. In the second hour we have nice long set from DJ Boss Harmony (separate post upcoming) where he takes on a little trip through his major events in LA, beginning with Dub Club, then to Punky Reggae and closing up with Dr. Who. As I mention at the end of the show, there’s a very good chance that I’ll be spinning records at the Virgil on Tuesday August 7th, if you enjoy these sounds, you’ll likely enjoy those too.
