All I have to say is WOW! What a great night in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. We got up to Brooklyn early and hit SEA for some really great Thai food. With full bellies we proceeded to Berry Park. It was just filling up and my man Dave from Truth and Soul was dropping some really great 45’s to get the mood set. Up next came DJ Young (Old) Chris from Big City Records in Manhattan. The guy is notorious for having heat, and honestly, the shit he dropped was insane. Little by little the place filled up, and when I dropped my first 45, it was on. I couldn’t have asked for a better response, seriously. From the first record to the last, I had a lot of people coming up and asking me about sides, and generally digging my set. It felt pretty good. I haven’t spun in Williamsburg in a minute, and I got some love, which is really appreciated. After my set, Damu the Fudgemunk brought his beats and samples as the place was already jam packed. By the time the Budos got on, the place was banging. I stayed for a bit of their set, but my 16+ hour day was catching up to me, (not to mention the delicious Lambic/ Heffeviezen gigantic beers I was drinking). I’m upset I didn’t get to catch Voodoo Funk’s set (because the guy has HEAT and you know it), but there will be another time.

Huge shout out to Dave from Truth and Soul, Dan from the Budos (and all the guys as well), my NJ and PA peeps that came out, Eilon from Dust and Grooves, James for finally getting together after way too long, Tom from Belgium (yeah Belgium!) that came to the show, and everyone else who showed some love Flea Market Funk’s way. It is much appreciated people. No love to the dude who smashed my beer causing it to go over my headphones and a pile of 45’s. Looking forward to getting back to Billyburg real soon. Cheers. Keep Diggin’!

Repping Asbury Park!
