The Eccentric Grooves of Logan 5

photo credit: ferusanimus@flickr Fresh from attending the lovely Closer PDX electronic music festival in Portland followed by a week of temperate rain forest relaxation, I arrived back in Chico's mind-melting inferno today to put together this show. Concerned for my trove of heat-sensitive vinyl, I played almost all wax tonight, in case they should melt in my car on the way home from the show.  Special shout out to my many gay married (and unmarried) friends - this weekend belongs to you, and the track I played by San Francisco's beloved 80's synth-disco wunderkind Patrick Cowley is dedicated to your/our victory.

It's hard not to feel like playing some sexy beats and party jams after seeing the phenomenal fashions and performances of Chico's local design collective Chikoko. It was some good fortune to get to do some radio tonight, and I was definitely feeling the vibes.  Hope you enjoy it too...

It's a great challenge and joy to slip into another DJ's big shoes and bring your own spin to their style. I'm glad to have had a first opportunity to drive the Funk Bus for DJ Spenny whose Wax On radio show is a long-running pillar of the KZFR Thursday afternoon lineup. Get ready for the funk bombs!

The show had a bit of a deeper vibe this evening, as I've been reflecting this week on the loss of Adam Yauch and the effect the Beastie Boys had on getting me into hip-hop and breakbeats. I won't claim to have done a tribute show in any way, but subconsciously there's more breakbeat in this show than "usual", whatever that is.
