[MWAS] Elevation 001: Dowd

Here is a track I made sampling the legend, Moodymann at We Out Here Festival, 2024. The mixed track was then ran through Che Wilson's Revox B77 - a family heirloom. There is a lot of context to this track, from the location of the recording to the city the track was made and taped in. I may put this as free download one day due to copyright.
