After a month-long hiatus from radio, it was my pleasure to guest host Danny Holloway’s show, Heads Up, on Dublab.com. While I was familiar with Dublab’s work in LA and beyond, this was my first time actually stopping by at the internet radio station. Along for the ride was Music Man Miles, who dropped a fantastic and eclectic hour-plus set of music. Once I sorted out the technology after his set, we close the show with a little chat about some of the things that Miles has on the calendar and a points about collecting trends and music. Not sure when I’ll be hosting a show, though I do know in the near future I’ll be dropping in on Anthony Valadez & Novena Carmel’s Champion City podcast. Other than that, you can likely look for a return of the “Melting Pot Radio Hour” late this month as I do my traditional rundowns of the best vinyl I dug up over the year and my Best of 2015 shows (y’all didn’t think I was gonna just NOT do those, did ya?). For the time being enjoy the show!
