This week's mix has a little background story. Those who know me know that I was named by, and received my early dj training from, DJ GaFFle. GaFFle introduced me to DJ Hakim who, in addition to encouraging me, gave me the opportunity to be the back-up DJ at Strip.
Whenever I spin at Strip, the general manager, Phil, usually asks me for some Gorillaz, Mos Def, or Common. He also gives me the creative freedom to play anything I want... and I think he's really cool for that : )
The last time I was there, I asked him what he wanted me to play and he said, "Play something old and funky, like me." So here you go Phil... a funky old mix for you ; )
