Rock and Roll Riot – 45 revolutions from June, 2009

June has been a busy month for me, with 2 DJ nights and several live shows on the agenda. I had been out to see the sensational Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings at the Toronto Jazz Festival the night before my monthly DJ night at The Cameron House, Rock and Roll Riot, so I was heavily inspired to spin some soul, R&B, funk, and blues selections to keep the groove going. Being my first DJ set of the summer, I also made sure to deliver some sizzling surf and hot rod instrumentals, rounding out the evening. A fun night as usual at The Cameron, despite the rather thin crowd, and a good way to end off the month. I managed to keep track of a good portion of my playlist this month, so here's a pretty thorough sampling...
