Radio Show Update & Archive

I've decided to take a short break from doing the weekly radio show so that I can have more time to produce a whole new crop of edits(which I'll feature on this site), as well as concentrate on putting together my next vinyl release (Cabana Disco vol.06 12"). I will still continue to update this site on a daily basis with new re-edits, MP3's, record reviews, etc., therefore please continue to visit the site often. Until the radio show resumes, here is an archive of all the broadcasts to date. Look for the radio show to return sometime in the next few weeks. Enjoy!

Radio Show #005

NOTE: As discussed on the radio show, this week I went with a Latin-jazz theme to help compliment the new Wax Poetics 'Latin Issue' (issue #49) that they just released. A lot of great articles and interviews were included in this issue and I highly recommend picking up a copy at your nearest magazine stand or order the issue online.

Radio Show #001

Welcome to the new online radio show Village Dance Radio hosted by Pat Les Stache (creator of the American Athlete blog). Every Tuesday I will post a new pre-recorded radio broadcast which will include commentary from myself or any of the special guest hosts. Check back often as I will also be posting new re-edits and album reviews. I look forward to adding many new features to this site in the weeks ahead so stay tuned. As always, I highly encourage feedback from everyone, and I will do my best to respond to any questions in a timely manner. Remember that starting next week these radio shows will be posted on Tuesdays. For now, enjoy the first show!
