Had the pleasure of filling in for Sergio Mielniczenko on Friday’s Global Village at KPFK. Our tastes are very similar so I figured it would be a smooth transition and give me a chance to play a couple of newer things with the all vinyl edition of Melting Pot coming up this Sunday (with a guest set from Clifton James Weaver III aka Soft Touch of Funky Sole, Underground, Sonic and others!). Also got a chance to chill with Shawn Lee and chat about his latest projects and music in general. The interview begins just about at the top of the second hour. Mr. Lee is a real cool cat, well versed musically and has a great approach to making music, which we discuss during the interview. Enjoy!
