It’s been a long minute since I’d been on the stage at Funky Sole, but it was just as fun as ever. There were more than a few things I was really excited to play out on that sound system and to see how the Funky Sole faithful would respond. Some of these I’ve shared here on Melting Pot in the past, but more than a few I have had a chance to play out until now. Towards the end, I got a little crazy and psychedelic and still didn’t lost many people off the dance floor (I thought for sure Zoo or Tobruk would switch people up, but nope!)…it always amazes me what people will dance to, and this definitely inspires me to get a bit more out there the next time around. Big thanks again to Miles, Hector, Nancy and everyone else involved…always a great pleasure getting to make people dance to these sounds. Enjoy the set!
