Month: February 2015

The cold stuff keeps falling but the heat within remains. It’s Wednesday night, and the Dance Megamix won’t let poorly plowed driveways or incompetent North Carolina drivers prevent Don from making it to the studio. In this episode, Don gets completely sidetracked and plays out some sick 90’s classic and deep house. Try not to enjoy this one, I DARE YOU.

Don puts on his bathing costume, hops in the DeLorean DMC-12 and surprises the listeners of the Dance Megamix with a jackin’ pre-recorded set from the future… (or is it the past?)… to enjoy while he is at the beach. The first half hour begins with all things tropical, as Don whisks you away to a place of blue coral waters and Spanish-Portuguese-Dutch Creole. Things get a bit funkier and blousier, then they start freestylin’, and finally get straight up jackin’ Chicago style. And to close it out, Don drops some Afro-Caribbean jamz. Bon bini from the ABC!

“What do you mean you’ve seen this before? It’s brand new.”
