Vin Sol returned to the studio last week for a guest set. This time he brought along his partner from San Francisco’s Gemini Disco party, Derrick Love. Mike and I started the night off as Vin and Derrick collected themselves after a day of digging around the city. A five-hour-energy shot later and the italo sets were spilling over into the post-show slot. Luckily we recorded it all and have over three hours of music posted below!

We had Kamui back on the program last Friday. He played on the show in November and split a guest set with Mark Murphy of Choice Cuts. This time I broke out my 45′s and we alternated sets of disco, funk and modern soul. You can catch him playing out in Greenpoint and on occasion with Lost And Found at their Tuesday night party at Savalas. Enjoy!

Recently found a copy of this album and lucky me! These promo materials were hidden inside…

You’ll hear a lot of cuts off their sole LP on the program in the coming weeks.

Mike and I played the entire program once again last Friday. This time we dug into our crates and threw together two sets of boogie classics. All around perfect tracks to kick off the holiday weekend. Enjoy!

We were fortunate to have Red Greg in the studio last week as a precursor to his appearance at Love Chant 2. He played a ton of tracks we’d never heard before including some custom pressed 10″s and a Land of Hits version of Cloud One’s “Atmosphere Strut”. Love on the Run, Monk-One & Red Greg didn’t disappoint on Saturday either. It was great to see all the familiar faces while hearing some of these tracks out on a club system!

Love On The Run’s “Love Chant” returns to the basement of Von this Saturday with special guests Monk-One and Red Greg. We had a blast at the first party back in January and I can say without a doubt that you don’t want to miss out on this one. Monk-One was on A Downtown Affair last Friday and we have Red Greg coming in tomorrow night! Check out the full post over at Secret Rendezvous.

Last week Monk-One of Names You Can Trust and Waxpoetics came by the studio for a special guest set. Fresh off a trip out west, he brought in a nice bag of records and played a few of his own edits as well. The station’s archive is still not quite working properly and we lost my opening set and the first of Monk’s tracks, but I got the rest recorded and it’s here for your enjoyment. Be sure to keep an eye out for Love Chant 2 where Monk-One will join Love On The Run and Red Greg in the basement of Von.

Love On The Run has a knack for hooking us up with unexpected guests. Last Friday he brought his friends Osita and Osore in for some sets. Osita started things off with some Nigerian records, some of which were so dusty that he had to run to the bathroom to give them a rinse before playing! Osore followed with some Jazz and Brazilian music to close out the evening. Perfect meditative songs for a rainy Friday evening and a set I will surely listen back to often. Enjoy.
