Recorded Live at The Echo 10-19-2012 in Los Angeles for LA's annual Felabration "JUMP N FUNK" with DJ Rich Medina & Mark Hines (The Marksman) w/the visuals. I opened up the room for my 3rd year in a row from 9:20pm - 11pm in which this recording was made. Imagine people showing up and chilling when listening to the first 40 minutes or so with a small dance floor that started at around 10 pm and grew at a steady pace. Hope you enjoy the selections. Thanks to Asad at Footlong Events and Frolab for the opportunity and support.
