Bob James - Angela (Theme from "Taxi")

Digital Crate Digging Continues on a Music Monday, we're doing business during Holiday Season; Thanksgiving Day? Thursday!

The saga / struggle continues letting the music play accompanied by this good word;  this is how the work will be..

..so who'll work with me? at the moment chilling out in the lab out in our remote outpost out off of I-20 in Atlanta!

O-Dog Day Partying earlier after being out in those Atlanta streets, North / West / South and East! now I'm back in the lab trying to get my mind right, somebody might understand a brotha..

..utilizing 20 / 20 hindsight even though old dude up in Louisville / Newburg told me it is what it is and it's what its going to be! 

Sho You Right is heard from Barry White types in the amen corner, throwing shade at me!

The Reflex Gilles Peterson BBC6 All Unreleased Mix

Digital Crate Digging Continues check us out as we handle this Throwback Thursday business..

The moves made are retro futuristic but based in the present, knowing what the deal is! 

Studying the history so the future is no mystery and so history won’t repeat itself but sometimes it does in other forms and fashions. 

It’s no mystery as the apparatus will clock the status; police monitor the thoughts and fashions..

Sonic Assaults are unleashed as we keep clashing with so called powers that be!

At the moment listening to The Reflex on Gilles Peterson’s BBC show going for what he knows! Check the playlist and the mix as he gets funky!
