Time has flown by and I cannot believe that we are already into our second month which means third show of the year already! There is so much wonderful music out there that its been so hard just picking the 27 odd songs to play that cover my two hour show. I have a list [...]

For some reason this week I felt in a Afro state of mind, maybe Martin Luther King day last Monday had something to do with it! So included in this show are some gems that I feel represent a cross section of Afro cross polinyzation projects. I have not included in this show the incredible [...]

So it’s Christmas Eve and I am feeling pretty festive. I was going to pack the show with all sorts of crazy and interesting Christmas & holiday tunes but decided that I would just start the show with one and that would be it. Making just a seasonal gesture or statement if you like. Then [...]

As the end of year is near one certainly gets in the mode of being self reflective and with the (relatively) cold weather here I am in it! Thinking back to some of the highlights of this year I have included one of my all time favorites, The lads from Brighton, Simon James & [...]

We’ve got in on the action too, having released 4 exclusive ringtones from MJ7 last week. You can grab your iPhone or Windows/Droid tones to make your phone sound the shizzle here.

There’s only one more week to wait until the 7th installment of Mark Farina’s iconic Mushroom Jazz series hits record stores around the globe, and a world of expectant and thirsty music aficionados are waiting with baited breath!
