Episode 428 marks my debut broadcast from Studio B—and I couldn't have asked for a better setting to dig deep into the crates. For this special all-vinyl session, I lined up a heavy blend of funk, soul, and worldwide rhythms, stitched together with edits, remixes, and a few unexpected flips. From Betty Davis' raw energy to Pat Thomas’ Afrobeat reimagined by Dam Swindle, and from Etta James to Kishore Kumar via Luxxury’s disco touch, this one’s a ride through eras and continents, with the warmth of wax leading the way.
