Conn Shawnery vs. Bruce Lee

Making deals with the Afro Kat 45s, DJ Bluewater and M.Fasis look on.

In our first 45 Session of the year, we had to go international. Ok it is Canada, but still, our guest Conn Shawnery really outdid himself. Playing an eclectic mix of music from his own label (Kutiman, Koloko), and throwing in a heavy dose of Deep Funk and Northern Soul, he wowed the Asbury crowd with his seamless mixes and great selection. We all drew out of a hat this time for our time slots, and Larry Grogan and myself kicked it off, followed by DJ Prime, Connie T. Empress, Conn, DJ Bluewater, and M.Fasis finishing up the night. Jack the Ripper graciously gave up his spot so our guest could get some extra time. There were a lot of new faces once again, and to the old heads who keep coming to support, a huge Thank You! We appreciate the support and promise to keep playing the best Deep Funk, Sweet Soul, and all that is funky all through 2008. Here’s my set from last night, more sets as they come in. See you Monday.
