Dr. J Presents: Joining The Dots (Episode 1, First Aired 14th May 2012)
The very first episode of my funk and soul radio show on Funk Republic Radio! I introduce the premise of the show and showcase the variety of funk that kicked off my career DJing and stuff I just happen to think is sick right now!
Originally recorded on Thursday 3rd of May, this show was put together before the tragic passing of Adam “MCA” Yauch of the Beastie Boys. Retrospectively, “Root Down” by Jimmy Smith is dedicated to his memory.
