On the show this week we mashed up the fresh and classic material starting with the brand-new version of Mulatu's “Nètsanèt,” then into new gear from Leo James, Blue Lab Beats, Byron the Aquarius, Shokazulu, Zoeplar and Chaos in the CBD. We kept it classic with The Gap Band, Leroy Burgess, Rosa Maria, Sammy Obot, Val Young, plus an instrumental version of The Valentine Brothers’ “Money’s Too Tight to Mention.” There was also DJ-SUN, Paige Douglas & The Diddys, and Soul Inscribed. We marked the passing of Chuck Mangione with “Hide & Seek (Ready or not),” and closed the night celebrating Syreeta’s birthday with “Black Maybe” and “I Love Every Little Thing About You.” Bless up!

Othere legends lost recently include singer/producer/songwriter Jerry Butler, singer pianist Roberta Flack, Keyboard player for the Isley Brothers (and Isley Jasper Isley, and solo material): Chris Jasper. We play some tunes for these fallen greats and celebrate their lifetimes of music. Brought to you by K & J and special guest Jarrod.

The Swap Meet 27 July 2025
Campbell digs Japan, and he's just back from a ten day jaunt of well curated record stores, incredible food and many greetings of "Arigato gozaimasu!"
His set this month is full of raw, soulful heaters and cosmic jazz-funk that makes you screw your face up like you accidentally ate the ball of wasabi along with your sashimi. All time Swap Meet fave Garfield Fleming’s 'Don’t Send Me Away' still hits like heartbreak on vinyl, that pleading vocal over lush orchestration is pure modern soul gold. And then there’s Mystic Harmony’s Lovers Rock take on The Jones Girls' 'Nights Over Egypt' deep, spiritual, and epic. Add Freedom Suite 'Come Closer' to that category: a rare groove Trini disco dub with the kind of bassline that makes you look around the room for someone else who heard that. The funkier edges really pop off with Wild Fire 'The Dealer' another Trinidadian gem that’s psych-funk with fuzz guitar and heavy attitude.
Campbell keeps it moving with the glistening disco of Chantal Curtis ‘Get Another Love’ to Booker Newberry III’s ‘Love Town’, there’s that roller-skate-ready shimmer. Then off to Brasil with Alma Brasileira ‘Peixeiro’ a choro inflected samba and Dom Salvador’s ‘Barumba’, all syncopated rhythms and raw, earthy joy. On the modern tip, Cool Affair ‘Motoric Patterns (Kaidi Tatham Mix)’ slides in with some proper bruk energy: Kaidi doing what he does best. Mr Ngata has the jazzheads covered too - and we also gotta keep pumping current faves The Circling Sun!
The Swap Meet is three hours dedicated to the celebration of funky music wherever we find it: the tributaries contributing to modern beat culture. We pay our respects every week to the foundational black musical traditions of Disco, Soul, Funk, Boogie, Jazz, Samba, Blues. Salute!
