Tune in to Soul Junction tonight for a melting pot of fuzzy, funky sounds, including music from such diverse luminaries as Les McCann, Compost, Horacee Arnold and Black Merda. Plus, we'll debut the moogy new release from producer Mr. Chop, which also features Soul Junction favorite Malcolm Catto on traps (a double 10 inch no less!). And since we only heard instrumental Donny Hathaway during last week's live soul party, let's bookend the show with the voice of a true legend.
