With Co-host Silky under the weather, the Old Pro "DJ Freddie Rock" holds it down with a solo set. Stripping the show to the bone, OP heads deep into the mix in the first half of the show, lacing our ears with everything from the hardest working banding going (Mint Condition) to some old school dance floor classics.

New Tonex Album "Circus" coming 11-7-09

Artist Spotlight: Dam-Funk

Known as Los Angeles' "Ambassador of Boogie Funk," Dãm-Funk represents the citizens of the Funkmosphere. Headquartered in the Leimert Park section of L.A., Dãm (pronounced: 'Dame' as in Damon) spent the last few years cultivating a musical renaissance rooted in the early-'80s styles known as Boogie, Modern Soul and Electro-Funk.

As a DJ/selector, Dãm attracts the most discerning Boogie Funk afficionados within driving distance of his storied Monday-night Funkmosphere parties. But it's not just collectors at the bar toasting to the melodic sounds. Anyone who grooves to the likes of Slave, Aurra, early Prince, Prelude Records and the like, will get a dose of those groups' unknown contemporaries – more obscure but equally Funk-worthy.

The next phase of the Ambassador's mission is his debut album Toeachizown: continuing the classic West Coast tradition into today's scene with Dãm's own original "Modern-Funk" compositions. By plugging in his arsenal of vintage synths and drum machines, Dãm channels the galactic harmonies of his inspiration into his own brand of new boogie. Stones Throw Records' like-minded honcho Peanut Butter Wolf brought Dãm on to the team to glide into the future with his unique, synth and bass-driven vibe. It's a promising new chapter for Southern Cali space funk.

Artist Update: Theresa

Reunion Radio was founded two years ago on the idea of bringing together and exposing different generations of R&B lovers to music they may not otherwise hear... as well as highlighting new music by artist from 'back in the day'. It's the second part of our mission that this new feature focuses on. Starting this month Reunion Radio brings you  "Artist Update". Each month we'll pick an artist that you may not have heard from in a while... feature some of their classic songs and videos, catch up with some of their newer projects, and throw in anything else we think may inform and entertain you.

This month's Artist Update is 80s duo Theresa. The group consisted of lead singer Theresa King & keyboard player Victor Porter. Operating out of Sacramento, California Theresa & Victor were part of Jay King's Club Nouveau camp that was burning up charts and dance floors in 1986-87. Guided by soon to be super producers Foster and McElroy (En Vogue, Tony, Toni, Tone) Theresa dropped their album "Broken Puzzle" in 1987. The first single "Last Time" shot up the charts and the group looked to be on it's way to stardom. But as is all too often the case, Theresa became yet another reminder of why it's called the Music BUSINESS.


By way of Rumor Radio we are posting a recent interview with lead singer Theresa King. In this humorous and highly entertaining interview with DJ Marcus T... of Timex Social Club(Rumors)fame... Theresa speaks on her past as well as what she's got cookin' for the future.

Theresa Interview

So check out the interview above and then be on the look out for a special treat on an upcoming Reunion Radio Podcast involving some new music from Theresa.
