A couple weekends ago I went to the Stones Throw party here in SF and really dug Dam Funk’s boogie-funk  set. Since then, I’ve been digging up some favorites from my own collection as well as discovering plenty of new ones. A good place to start is One Day Later…, a blog run by Beatstreet’s U-tern.

To kick things off, here’s another keeper on the famed Elite label. No info available on $pencer Jone$. His voice is reminicient of Michael Jackson during his Off the Wall/Thriller years (no surprise, considering when this came out). The record is worth buying for the instrumental alone, get it while it’s still relatively cheap.->BUY

Here’s another “Take A Chance” this time inna freestyle vein. Nuance was a studio band produced by Ron Dean Miller, who was also part of Raw Silk, known for the West End classic, “Do It To The Music“.

For those of you in the San Francisco Bay Area, Jason Douglas and I will be djing tomorrow night at Lingba from 9pm to 2am. Lingba: 1469 18th Street (between Connecticut & Missouri St), San Francisco (Portrero Hill). Admission: 21& over, NO COVER

Picked up a couple gigs this weekend, both completely different-which is great. For those of you here in the San Francisco Bay Area, come on down to ANU and join STML (defsf), MICRON (fnf) and myself for a great night of techno. For those of you not able to make it you can listen to the live stream via DEFSF’s Radio Integrated here. Line up: STML 10-11:30, Micron 11:30-12:30, Raf_One 12:30-2am

This one is for our main man Obama, as he closes out the DNC tonight. “Face the Nation”, is a monster track by fellow Chi-town brother, MD III aka Mike Dunn, one of the OGs of acid house. Vocals are handled by Tyree Cooper, a legend in his own right. ->BUY (original pressing)

Sorry for the lack of posts, many times I over think what to put up here and instead of deciding on a track, nothing gets up and where’s the fun in that?

So to kick things off, here’s an edit by yours truly of the old school classic “Oh Honey” by Delegation. Thanks goto Evil Dave for reminding me how great this song is. I dedicate this edit to my honey, Jan.
