Big ups to Tim Stroh and Gravel Radio for hosting Striz and myself-6-16-2009.  It was a great chance for me to flex my downtempo/hiphop credentials – the result was serato blessed bangers and raw electonic headnod bizness.

JR downtempo/hiphop

striz got funky as a mosqueeter’s tweeter playing a mix of OG funk bombs and modern dope.

Striz\’s Funky excursions

Thanks to mr Nate Manic for capturing my set, and for throwing down such a righteous set with partner in crime Duke Shin!  I was interupted at both ends by tecyhnical difficulties but I have rendered the meat for ya’ll.  If i get bugged enough I’ll post a tracklist otherwise just listen with your ears brainiac!
