Hey everyone,

It’s been a long hot month since I’ve last put up an hour long podcast so I’m psyched today to give you a nice assortment of funky 45s to help make August more bearable.  Straddling the late 60’s and early 70s this mix isn’t pure funk but has a nice mix of funky soul mixed in.

Many of these tracks were slated for individual write-ups but you know how time gets in the way and it felt better to let them breathe in a mix and maybe someday they’ll get their moment in the spotlight.

I hope you enjoy!
