*Live Mixed*

The selections are from my Best of 2025 (not only released, just discovered or enjoyed) It ended up as a slick, relaxed dive into Funk, Funk-ish, Funk Adjacent, and Funkesque Tendencies :-)

Reaching into the funkier yet chill realms... cosmic jazz, psychedelic, soul, & global grooves throughout. The show ended up accidentally 100% instrumental. So sorry, not sorry. The music speaks for itself!
