Last party at Santos!
Leigh Iacobucci filmed this as a part of her movie documentary Take Me Away Fast.
Big thanx to everybody who made it down to this fantastic last night at Santos. I'm still on the lookout for a new venue, this party has to be continued!

all the best and happy new year.
Thanks for the clip! Hopefully, the next time I'm in NYC, you'll have another party somewhere and I can come and dance myself!
Have a good trip back to West Africa!

Frank,
I just want to say that I have really enjoyed your show since I found it some 6 months ago.
I am sad to hear that you will not be able to continue the show due to your traveling schedule.
Your podcast has entertained me while sailing the Caribbean for the past few months now and I thank you for all the effort you have put into it.
The ocean will cease being funky until your return, thanks for the good times!
Best regards,
Matthew

Hi Frank,
Another fantastic mix, the first 2 tracks in particular blew me away. Some serious organ playing on here. In fact this may be your best funk one yet.
I was just relistening to the Syliphone Mix which I think was the first one you posted here. It's so amazing, and quite different from your other mixes, it would be cool if you could do another one like that sometime.
I see that you'll be in Europe this summer, any chance you'll be visiting Ireland? ;)
Hi Gmos,
glad you liked the new mix.
If you enjoyed the Syliphone mix, you might also want to check out "beyond the beat" and "deeper and deeper" in the archive bar.
I'm only going to stop over in berlin on my way to Africa so I don't think I'd be able to make it to Ireland. Maybe this fall... it always depends on what kind of gigs would be possible and if they'd pay for the trip.
Cheers!
Frank
Well, I'll just have to get to work on Dublin's promoters then! But I have some friends and family in Berlin so I may even travel :)
peace!
ps, I meant to post the comment on the African Heat mix of course
Awesome!
