I waited to drop this because of both Flatbroke’s and BirdFlu’s love themed casts and I didn’t want to switch the groove up to much. Anyway, here are some dirty, dirty funk breaks that I pulled together for everyone to get down to. Overall, I’m really feeling this podcast and had to dig through a lot of stuff to put it together. Leave some comments and let me know what you think.

A good friend to the Spaced Invaders, DJ Birdflu has dropped an ill, slow-grooving mixtape that is making its way around the Charleston area. I was able to snag a copy of it from him and I asked him if I could make it available to the Stone Groove listeners. The artwork for the cover was done by Birdflu with scissors and tape, the old school way, and you can check the track listing below and see that the attention to details he used in the cover is also used in the collage of music he constructs. Speaking of old school, this DJ uses nothing but vinyl. No not Serato, time coded or anything like that. Strictly original vinyl. You’ll hear the warm analog sounds, and the crackles and pops of gently worn vinyl pressings. The transitions are on point and if you play both this mixtape with DJ Scrunchyface Flatbroke’s Valentine’s Day podcast your beddy-bye time will be set with that special someone.

Tracklisting:

DJ Birdflu – What I Put On When I’m Puttin it On Your Mom

The Daily Dose
1622 Highland Ave, Charleston, SC‎
James Island, SC 29412

$5 Door Charge goes to the Boys & Girls Club of the Trident Area – Shaw Unit.

On the first Saturday of every month for the last year, Charleston’s only video turntablist crew “The Spaced Invaders” has broken out some big toys to draw crowds to their monthly party, “The Stone Groove.”  Setting up 15 foot projection screens and massive sound systems powered by turntable controlled laptops has drawn both good and bad attention to the party, easily visible (and audible) from Folly Road.

With the new positive energy flowing through the country, they’ve decided for 2009 its time to use their fan base and unique geek-chic style to benefit a different charity every month – beginning this month with The Trident Area Shaw Unit Boys & Girls Club of America, who has been receiving a lack of funds do to the current financial state of the economy.

Attendees are treated to something very special, a wild visual display of classic music videos, remixed and scratched movies with just plain silly antics combined with the 60’s and 70’s soul songs that were used to create the 90’s hip hop sound that is so rarely heard today.  “I looked up to see 50 people staring at the huge screen, nodding their heads with the music” states VJ Scrunchyface Flatbroke, one of the Spaced Invaders.  “It was the same mesmerizing look you see when you put a toddler in front of a TV!”

“The Stone Groove party at the Daily Dose is like partying with your closest friends in another friends’ back yard…Just with giant video screens and some good mood food,” says, VJ Sonar, another member of the Spaced Invaders. “Now teaming up with local charities, we have something people can look forward to going to, have a good time, and feel good about giving back to the community. It’s really a party with a purpose.”

The upcoming Stone Groove event will donate all the door proceeds to the local Boys and Girls Club on 22 Mary Street. It was announced that the chapter was having some very rough times financing the operation and asked the community to help. Well, the Spaced Invaders heard this and decided to turn the Stone Groove into a charity “Funkraiser” for the Boys and Girls Club. It’s just $5 at the door and you can shake your butt to some good tunes, enjoy some good mood food, and go home feeling good about yourself because you helped keep kids in a good after school program instead of out in the streets.

Party is going on at the Daily Dose off of Folly Road. Just look for the giant video screens from the road and you’ll be in the right place. The flyer says from 9pm-12am but the party usually goes on for longer than that.

Flatbroke drops all b-boy classics in this one. It’s worth at least ten repeats before you go to sleep tonight. It’s really that good. I’m actually on my fourth time listening to it. Make sure you leave some comments for this guy letting him know how much you like his dusty crate digging.
