Monk One is always generous in blessing eardrums with a variety of obscure sounds from his deep record collection whether through radio or live events. In 2012 he provides a mix for Dust and Grooves as the resident DJ of WBAI's Underground Railroad show, Wax Poetics writer and Red Bull Music Academy speaker. You can always expect surprises from Monk One due to his love for rare tunes which carry an overall soulful or funky vibe. The mix features tracks by Melvin Bliss, Grand Wizard Theodore, Greenwood Rhythm Coalition, Byron Morris & Unity, Shamek Farrah and more.

In addition to the mix, be sure to check out Monk's 2009 interview and photo shoot with Dust and Grooves here at their website.
