“This all vinyl session was recorded live at Body Werk at Flash in Washington DC on October 14. For our bi-monthly Body Werk sessions at Flash, we generally bring several crates of records and jam from open to close, going where the music and crowd takes us. We never know where the journey will make us! This podcast captures my final two hour set of the evening. It had been a relatively slow night at Flash, and I went into my final set of the night spinning a bunch of minimal jams to a small, but enthusiastic crowd. After 30 minutes or so I looked up and the dance floor was packed, and together we went on an unexpected, emotional journey until the lights came on. I’m really pleased with how this came out, and I’m proud to share it with you on the Hooked Podcast.”
