Episode 12 comes from Lord Lewis
DJ Lord Lewis the Velvet Knight is a self-made mythology and a secret wizard of the underground. You could say for the sake of explanation he might be an avid record collector, psychedelic librarian, vinyl Disc Jockey, and host of the legendary Rumpus Room radio show on WESU 88.1 FM Middletown CT, which has been on the air since 2002.
That he also is one of CT’s premier deep cut selectors and his radio show, one of the hidden jewels of non- commercial CT radio, is unrivaled for its musical curation, primarily showcasing and breaking the best from the contemporary US and international deep funk, soul, jazz, afrobeat, world, reggae, dub and dance underground.
An exceptional music connoisseur and impeccable tastemaker whose show is truly a one-of-kind journey into multiple music scenes, Lord Lewis traces his influences to various music, dance, and DJ subcultures: from the original UK mod scene of the 60s to Northern Soul, NYC disco to Ibiza & acid house, UK jazz dance to rare groove and deep funk; ska, rocksteady, reggae and Jamaican sound system culture to hip-hop’s art of crate digging and the mutant sound and politics of post-punk.
Get yourself a taste of the mythology and check out this recent killer all 45 rpm deep funk and soul mix he did for his 45th birthday featuring a few of his favorite 7 inch singles from his collection. Then tune into his radio show where you will discover new bodacious musical worlds you never knew could possibly exist. The Rumpus Room airs every 1st, 3rd, and 5th Monday of the month from 8-9:30 pm ET on WESU 88.1 FM. Streamable online at www.wesufm.org and on the TuneIn Radio app.

Episode 6 comes from DJ Angel Figueroa out of Chiba, Japan.
Strongly influenced from an early age by music-loving parents from Jamaica and Cuba, it was only natural for Angel Figueroa to end up deejaying. He started in Seoul, Korea in the mid 1990s. Currently a resident of Japan, where he teaches at Josai International University, he has had a long side-career as salsa DJ and event producer, especially in Osaka.
A keen collector of Japanese Latin music, Angel aspires to one day produce a compilation of rare Japanese Latin songs.
In the early days of his DJ career, Angel relied on CDs as his sole media format. It was not until the late 2010s that he started collecting records in search of more obscure material. During this time, he also expanded into acid/club jazz and electronica, as well as Jamaican and African music. Recently, he has been growing his collection of 7” vinyl, especially in afro-funk, from which he compiled the pool of tracks for this mix.

Episode 5 comes from Will Martin out of Oakland, California.
Will has been collecting records since the tender age of 15 when an early obsession with Jungle/Drum and Bass opened his ears to all variety of danceable music. While throwing underground parties in Boston, Massachusetts, he met and formed a close friendship and musical partnership with fellow Bostonian John Barera. Their first release landed them smack in the center of Steffi’s Panorama Bar mix, with subsequent releases on her Dolly label as well as cult favorites Argot, 2MR, and John Barera’s Supply Records.
After moving to Brooklyn, Will started Firm Tracks, a label dedicated to put out debut releases of new and emerging artists. There he helped launch the careers of beloved midwest fixtures Ali Berger, and Davis Galvin, among others.
Today he lives in beautiful Northern California with his 2 year old daughter, where he splits his time between digging for the best records and the best burritos he can find.

DJ Nik has been spinning and passionately collecting salsa, mambo, and Afro-Caribbean music for over 20 years. Ever since he purchased his first salsa album in 1999 (Angel Canales – Sabor), he was hooked. Originally based out of Boston and NYC, Nik has spent the last 17 years living in the San Francisco Bay Area in semi-DJ retirement and enjoying the absence of snow. In addition to over 100 nightclub and social dance party gigs, DJ Nik has played at numerous major salsa events, including the West Coast (Los Angeles), East Coast (New York), and San Francisco Salsa Congresses. He was also the head DJ for the Boston Salsa Congress (2004 and 2005) and a regular guest DJ at the world-famous Jimmy Anton Sunday Social in NYC. Now he enjoys Facebook live #COBEAT Party sets and hopes to play at local dance socials very soon. He is planning a European vinyl DJ tour in 2022/2023!
