I'm baaaaack. Did you miss me? My first extended sabbatical from the modcast is over. It only took 10 years for me to take a real break. That's right I've got ten full years of modcasting under my belt now. So welcome to season eleven. And that puts us at the halfway mark of 2017, so I've got lots of new music from the first of half of the year.

Hello funkonauts! This is the funkiest modcast in a long while, so I hope you're in for some very cool super soul. This is soul music, superfunkified, always cool, always fresh, sometimes jazzy, occasionally with a hint of acid, and never without a full dose of the disco. This is funky.
