Channeling Grasso

by Jon Leidecker

11 Sep 2010



[IN CELEBRATION OF OTHERZINE's tenth birthday, Jon Leidecker has forked over this fine re-enactment of an ancient mash-up featured in his BRILLIANT lecture/podcast on the history of sampling! ...Herein, says Mr. Leidecker, we find an original blueprint for disco, which was first put together and live-performed back in the day by DJ Francis Grasso.]
