All sorts of crunchy, crackling grooves for a Monday morning. Description of mix below.
Extra crunchy and dusty this month. Strictly 45 wax, I promise it's funky, eclectic and soulful but can't promise it's in the best condition. In the era of clean, digital mp3s and synthy beats it's hard to say whose ears might still be ok with some pops and hisses but this tape is as much about the music as it is a kind of audio documentary of various digging adventures into the basements and flea markets. This is what dirty-knuckle crate missions sound like, when your foot's falling asleep cuz you've been crouched in the corner of a spot going through hundreds of unsleeved 45s hoping no one else sees the treasures you're uncovering.

I'm totally digging this mix, thanks! I personally think the pops & crackles add to the sound if you ask me. And I chuckled to myself and can totally relate to your foot falling asleep!
Looking forward to the next mix! Thanks for sharing these sweet sounds!
dirtier the better, had many a dead leg and cramped knee session myself, lol.
I enjoyed your mix thank you!
