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!

The first Twisted Groove show of 2010 is a rocking affair. I decided to start the New Year off with rocking good fun. For this show I was assisted with song selection by my beautiful girlfriend Dana Brownrigg. I just come back from vacation from both work and radio. During my time off I contracted a few different viruses and was feeling sick and completely exhausted. That did not stop us from creating a beautiful show of both old and new rockin music to start off 2010.

Note: A avid listener has noted to me recently that the RSS feed only downloads the first set of each of my post so to cure this I will be creating a post for each hour of each show.

Happy 2010

The Factory Records box set, “Factory Records: Communications 1978-92” was released January 12, 2009 (having been delayed twice already). It is compiled by Jon Savage including an essay by Paul Morley and artwork by Peter Saville. It is a great overview of the record company’s output but is obviously missing some tracks that die-hard fans might have expected on the compilation. For this week’s Twisted Groove I play many tracks from the first two discs dating between 1978-1984 with one New Order tune from the third disc. A probable future follow up show will complete the history of Factory Records 1983-1992. This will include the Happy Mondays, Electronic, Northside, James and others. I hope you enjoys the Twisted Groove’s spin through some of Britain’s music history.
