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..

A special look at the career of FRED WESLEY, on the eve of his Australian tour. Due to how incredibly extensive Wesley’s discography is, I’ve decided to focus this mix more on his various guest appearances on other people albums, rather than his time with James Brown, The JB’s, and Parliament (Which really could have taken up the entire radio show on their own). While Wesley definately has a signiture and unmistakable sound, I hope that with this mix, you can get a sense of just how diverse his range actually was. You might be hard pressed to hear that infamous trombone on some of these songs, as it is quite often not a dominant instrument for many of these tracks, but that really stands as a testament to how talented he was an arranger and producer for many of these albums. Finally, this mix really only scratches the surface of the extensive career of Wesley. There are still so many albums that should have made it into this mix, but due to the radio shows time restaint I obviously couldn’t fit anymore into the mix. So I hope you enjoy this taste of who I consider one of the funkiest musicians on the planet, and I hope to see you at one of the live shows this weekend (While the Sunday night performance is sold out, a second monday night performance has just been announced at the Basement, with yours truly doing DJ support for both nights).

Feeling a little bit under the weather this week, so unfortunately I didn’t have time to prepare a brand new episode, but it has given me the chance to re-air one of my most favourite groovetherapy mixes - The Edit Mix Special Pt1. This episode was originally broadcast in 2004, but is really a timeless mix of frenetic cut-ups, freestyle electro, and machine gun edits. Unfortuantely there is no longer a tracklisting for this episode, but I can tell you that the mix comprises of some classic hard to find cut ups from the 80’s, interwoven with a bunch of unreleased (and now equally hard to find) edits that I obtained from the classic “Edit-Headz” bulletin board many years back - All cut up, mixed, retouched and re-edited by myself. In it’s original broadcast, this episode also contained an interview with Albert Cabrera from the Latin Rascals. I have removed the interview fom the mix for this repeat, but have plans to re-upload the interview in it’s complete form to the groovetherapy site in the near future.
I hope you enjoy this mix as much as i did putting this one together..

- Frenzie
