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!

Karl Wallinger of World Party fame passed away this week. His songs blended pop and folk influences into music that helped define college radio in the 1980s and ’90s. For tonight’s Twisted Groove I will celebrate Karl’s love of song craft with a diverse set of musical artists.

This week’s Twisted Groove I dedicate to Robbie Shakespeare who passed away this week. Sly and Robbie define parts of the 80’s for me so the show has that feel. The first set is all records recorded at Compass Point Studios where Sly and Robbie were the house rhythm section. The show then develops from there.

This weeks Twisted Groove is an interesting show of No Wave, New Wave, Underground Music from New York and Afro Funk,. Much of the music being African drum rooted with funky bass lines. I start the show off with outtake tracks from David Byrne and Brian Eno’s album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts and go right into Talking Heads Remain In Light Album, choosing the outtake track Fela’s Riff from that album. A bit later I get into a Arthur Russel track which is Underground Dance music and contains a lot of Afro type percussion with a persistent bass kick. The Fela thread moves through the whole show but not in the most overt way. If you give it a listen I am sure you’ll agree and agree that it is a super fun show!!
