Since I didn't do any sort of recap show at the beginning of 2011, I'm sort of making up for that now. This one gets back to the regular freeform format, bouncing around and picking up cuts from here and there. A lot of my current audio obsessions as of late are present: Space Invadas, Wildcookie, Toro Y Moi, and The Stepkids. Also have some friends in the mix as well (Core Rhythm, Jonny Sonic, Lovespirals, and DJ Center). And don't forget about beatmakers B. Bravo and Apollo Brown, Kid Creole And The Coconuts alumni Coati Mundi, hip-hop duo Malcolm and Martin, and a band from Sweden known as A Bossa Electica coming through with a killer Roy Ayers cover. On top of that, we close it out with some inspiring gospel soul from 1971.

Got a lot of ground to cover, so this will be the first of a two-part series. Oh yeah, I got the name of the Apollo Brown joint wrong during the recap. It's not "Tao Se Ching," it's "Tao TE Ching." My apologies. Let's get it goin'...
