Poverty-stricken soul. Smoked-out jazz. Fluorescent-coloured boogie. Foreign psychedelic madness.

CRATERY 88: Mr. Attic
I first met Mr. Attic at York University’s 105.5 FM in ’95. It was my first year attending York and my favourite pastime had quickly become loitering around the campus/community radio station before, between and after classes.

CRATERY 83: Dan Zacks
Toronto-based collector Dan Zacks pops his Cratery cherry on this month’s episode. I first came to know of Dan through the two Cuban funk compilations he released between 2006 and 2009: Si, Para Usted, volumes 1 and 2 (Both very well put together). Soon after, I realized he shared mutual friends like the hommies Kaewonder […]
