I’m pleased to announce that I am going to make this blog just as special as it once was back in the good old days. It’s a little hard to fathom that it’s been eighteen years since I first started this journey, but as I look around, I can only say that just like the tortoise, I am slow but sure…
There won’t be much fluff or fanfare because it’s not necessary, but if you’ve listened to just one episode of Fufu Radio in the last five years or so, then you’ll know what I’m getting at. The freeform aesthetic has always been my one and only love, which is on full display each and every time I turn the red light on. Sure, I spent years trying to be like my contemporaries, but there’s only room for so many “funk soul jazz and rare groove, all on original vinyl” types out there, has been for a very long time… I never took the time to keep my turntablist skills sharp, because there only room for so many of them as well. What I’m trying to say here to say is that I will leave that up to the experts, and try to bring something just a little different.
My aim is to continue producing off the beaten path mixes with the source material I’ve been accumulating since I was six. No genre is safe. Sometimes I’ll play it safe, but there are those times where I may throw in that element of surprise, more often than not. I’ll never guarantee that this will always be for everybody, but as a complete package, I can always guarantee that everyone will find some value in it somewhere. It’s no different than when I was making mixtapes in my teens and early twenties, it’s just that the patchwork of technology, sometimes gifted but mostly thrifted, makes the process such easier than it was way back then…
I sure hope to keep my focus this time, but with everything that’s been happening in recent years, it’s hard, but I will never say it’s impossible, especially since I’ve adapted to living life one second at a time.
