The Twisted Groove is a weekly radio show on KSFR fm 101.1 Santa Fe airing Saturday eves 10pm to midnight (MT). Spinifex plays a groove-based exploration of the past, present and future of Electronic, Indie, Rare Groove, Funk, Soul, Experimental, and Afro Funk propelling your music pleasures into futurity!

I was so psyched to get library music collector Segue into the studio for some super rare grooves. He collects nothing but the rarest gems from around the world.

I spun my friend Lexie’s Breast Wishes Fundraiser on October 9th at the CCA in Santa Fe. It was a great event with many people there to support new ways of approaching breast cancer therapy. She’s asked me to play sexy music for the event and this is what I came up with.

In preparation for my up and coming show with The Budos Band I did a Twisted Groove show reflecting some of what I might play on August 19th. It’s Afro Funk and Soul with loads of music from Daptone Records. Enjoy…

I was excited when Crawford Malone offered to help me with this week’s Twisted Groove. My plan was to do a Mardi Gras special and have done them in the past but to have his knowledge and expertise was a pleasure. Crawford grew up down there and has a vast knowledge of the culture and music. He expounds on many facts throughout this show. It’s a great listen…

I recently invested in a large vinyl order from Luv n Haight records.   I also have been subscribing to the Numero Groups record subscription and have received some real cool records from them recently.  Both these label release very obscure and wonderful music.  Much of it in the funk, soul and rare groove vein.  I also recently watched an amazing documentary about Ahmet Ertegun called “The House That Ahmet Built”.  A very forward thinker, Ahmet built Atlantic Records by focusing on a vision of the future of music that was rock and roll, soul and funk.  He possessed great intelligence and insight in identifying and releasing great soul music.  With all of that inspiration, this week’s Twisted Groove features a bunch of rare groove, soul and funk from all the above sources among many others.  It is a super fun show. It is outta sight and dynomite.
