Pullin from the Stacks - Carryin' On

Ep. 840 - August 1, 2025

Here's my 3 hour set from the House In The Park Weekend Festival in Atlanta, GA (Sunday 8-31-25). I was specifically asked to play HITP's second annual Disco Stage which seemed like a huge reprieve from their normal House Music programming. While these are tracks that are heard and played often, and some might even deem played out, I can honestly say the energy in the tent was something special. It was jam packed with no phones present, everyone moving in unison and RESPONDING to the music and all of its explosive nuances, one big rollercoaster ride. The entire experience reminded me of why I fell in love with spinning records and going to clubs as a teen. Satisfy your soul and enjoy!

DJ Spinna Live at House In The Park, Atlanta 2025

Was recently in Chicago and had many record store adventures. One record that popped up in the cheap bins was something I'd been after, "Chicago Jazz Dance Revival at Gus Place" by the Johnny Frigo Quartet. Frigo and his various groups put out several records of "jazz dance music" for Gus Giordano in the late 60s and early 70s covering jazz, rock and funk tunes of the day. I've been slowly grabbing these albums over the years when I find them and figured now might be a moment to play a few selections on the podcast. Dig in! 

Pullin from the Stacks - Johnny Frigo Selections

This is the second project by The Crossrhodes aka Raheem Devaughn and Wes Felton recorded in 2005. 

3 Sides

Mourning the loss of the one and only D'Angelo, and celebrating his music with an all vinyl tribute set.  Recorded live at BierWax in Brooklyn, NY on October 16, 2025.  A two-hour set can't possibly do justice to the man's catalog, and there are a lot more songs I wish I could've played, but hopefully this mix will give fans some comfort, and turn new listeners on to the genius of Michael Eugene Archer.  Rest in peace, king.

All Vinyl D'Angelo Tribute Set Live At BierWax, Brooklyn, NYC - 10.16.25

This is a live recording of the D'Angelo tribute listening session we did on Friday, October 17th 2025. It was a beautiful evening with Doka being completely filled up with people needing to commemorate and listen to his music collectively after hearing the sad news of his passing. Thank you all for showing your love for his timeless spirit!

R.I.P. Michael Eugene "D'Angelo" Archer
