Greetings all.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope all is well on your end.<\/p>\n

It’s the end of the week again, so that means it’s Funky16Corners Radio Show<\/strong> time, this (and every) Friday night at 9PM on Viva Radio<\/strong><\/a>. You can also come by this very spot on the weekend and pick yourself up an MP3 version of the show, or more than 100 previous episodes in the archive.
\n___________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"Example\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, in other news, my man Eilon Paz,<\/strong> photographer and founder of the Dust and Grooves<\/strong><\/a> site is having a show of his vinyl portraiture (he featured yours truly back in the day<\/a>) at the Tropicalia In Furs<\/strong>\u00a0store, with an opening event this Friday night July 6th from 7-10PM.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be photos from his various D&G features, as well as vinyl (natch) DJ sets by my man DJ Prestige<\/strong> and the mighty Supreme La Rock.<\/strong><\/p>\n

___________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n

As mentioned here in recent weeks, I have been stockpiling blog posts (and episodes of the radio show) so as to keep things as seamless as possible during the period my wife is undergoing treatment.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve managed \u2013 thanks in large part to scrambling wildly and using every available sliver of available time (kind of like the pink slime of blogging) \u2013 to stay a few weeks ahead of the game.<\/p>\n

Thanks to this, and an unexpected full day at home, I was able to sit down and put together a mix I\u2019d been ruminating on for some time.<\/p>\n

It was one of those \u2013 \u2018I\u2019m rolling a few songs with a similar feel around in my fevered brain\u2019 \u2013 things that I eventually brought to fruition in mix form.<\/p>\n

I also tried something different, by giving the mix a preliminary airing on Soundcloud<\/strong>\u00a0several weeks ahead of its publication here (albeit at a lower bitrate).<\/p>\n

What you have here is a fine example of one of my favorite kinds of mixes, that being a slightly downtempo, late night vibe, replete with a soupcon of funky beats, sampleable loops and the kind of goodness that makes your ears feel warm and happy when ensconced in headphones (or ensconcing earbuds, however you choose to roll).<\/p>\n

There are a couple of tracks here that have either been featured individually on the blog, appeared in a differently framed mix, or in a live set here or there.<\/p>\n

There are also more than a few very groovy tracks making their Funky16Corners<\/strong> debut.<\/p>\n

That all said, I think that if you cue this one up, mix yourself a potent beverage and turn down the lights, you will be satisfied (at least musically).<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the mix and I\u2019ll see you all later in the week.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
