Jiving Under The Influence

Jumping The Gap 1 Oct 2014

Pinch 'n' a punch for the first of the month. Do kids still say that? If so, the punch 2day would be alcoholic as we were intoxicated by Nick The Record's new Under The Influence volume on Z Records. We love this series, but Nick's may well be the best. So besides our own boogie & go-go selections, we mixed up our faves from the 21 disco-soul tracks on offer from Nick's years of collecting (marked #). Also on offer 2day, the return of our semi-regular Seven Deadly Spins segment, where guest collector-sellectors share 7 slices of 7" vinyl. Today's guest was Sklover Washington Jr - a Brooklyn based DJ who is also one of the people behind the terrific Truth & Soul label. Nick's theme was New Orleans & his 7 x 45s mix includes Dr John & The Meters.

If you're in Sydney, an invite to Play Bar this Friday Oct 10 for round 2 of Afrobrasiliana where a few of us radio selectors will be playing Afro-Latin treats. Free entry.

Happy listening - Paris
