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!

Since it was Fat Tuesday this week I decided to do a show with a bunch of New Orleans music. I also got a load of records in the mail from Daptone Records so I played a bunch of their music in the second set. If you haven’t heard Daptone’s stuff you need to.
