It’s been a real crazy couple of weeks here. We’ve just recovered from a massive server meltdown - which would explain why the site was down for a few days, and why there hasn’t been any podcasts over the last couple of weeks. While the site is back up and running again, I did unfortunately lose most of the template which builds the site. This isn’t really a huge drama, as all regular visitors to the site know that I enjoy tinkering with the template every now and then - But that wasn’t the only loss: the two most recent recordings of the radio show were also lost (and hence never made it into the podcast archive), Including the brilliant 3 hour “Roots Of Jungle” special which had tongues wagging here in Sydney after the FM broadcast, and the follow-up weeks “Black Rio & Samba Soul” special with DJ Man About Town - A real bummer that these episodes are now lost in time, never to be heard again.

Well, things haven’t really calmed down here since the server crash - My workload has increased to almost unmanageable levels, and I’m sadly going to have to take a back seat from the radio show over the next couple of weeks - But fortunately a good friend of mine DJ SOUL PURPOSE has kindly stepped up to the plate, and will be taking over the reins to present a 3 part special. So enjoy this weeks ‘Part 1′ with DJ SOUL PURPOSE..
