In The Groove: DJ Godfather bangs out a 60-minute thrill ride, plus Daniel Crawford’s “Dillafornia” new Childish Gambino + more

Today’s special guest for Movement Week here on In The Groove is a turntablist, booty-shaking legend DJ Godfather.

The east side icon threw an hour-long mix old school techno, ghetto-tech, booty-beat and everything in between for a set that still has me ready to run through a brick wall. You’ll have to listen to the audio above to experience the whole thing, because breaking down one of his sets is insane — so many tracks, so little time.

Plus checking out Daniel Crawford’s “Dillafornia” series dedicated to Detroit’s own J Dilla, new music from Childish Gambino, NxWorries, Cassandra Jenkins, Nas, Shy FX and many more.
