This is a mix I did on the show to promote an event by Virginia Center of Latin American Art called "The Great Busk" which is on April 4th, 2014 on the Downtown Artwalk here in RVA. The event is a celebration of the life and legacy of RVA-native Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and this mix is a dedication to the sounds of The Prohibition Era and beyond when he did most of his professional work.

This is an installation from my monthly excursions into drum heavy, sampled soul grooves dubbed the Waxploitation Sessions. I always try to represent with tracks that are good by themselves as well as have some familiarity to hip hop heads bc some of the elements have been looped and refixed in some classic hip hop jams. But even if you're not familiar with them, it's a deep dive into some serious drum beats and grooves from the 70s and beyond.
