Welcome back for another long overdue mix! It’s been a truly unthinkable year – as you can tell by how quiet it is over here the past few months- but we made it and we’ve reached the end of the 2021 calendar. What a parade of mind-numbing events, all occurring in collapsed and compressed time on an increasingly intense and unusual rubiks cube of confusion. Glad to see 2021 move on and hope some how, some way the coming year is better.

This week’s podcast collects a bunch of the “funky 45s” I’ve had hanging around, lots of breaks, slinky sounding guitar, big bad bass and a few synths. This mix ranges from the early sixties into the late seventies, the only requirement was it was funky!

Hope you enjoy and we’ll see you in 2022 with more mixes!

Peace,

-George / Snack Attack
