And so to our next treat, and this one is a DEEP one. Sampsa Vilhunen is a record collector, DJ and marine biologist based in Helsinki, Finland who has amassed a massive collection of black rhythm music: jazz, soul, funk, disco and Latin over the past 20 years. Over the years, he has participated in many a club night in his native land, the most famous of which being ‘Wahoo!’. Alongside the night, there is also the Wahoo! radioshow which can be found at http://www.samurai.fm/wahoo with already more than 5000 tunes in the mix archive. Despite his many digging and DJ exploits, jazz is certainly never far from his heart (and turntable!), and here he presents to us a few of his current favourites and new discoveries over 45 minutes of some very rare records from the length and breadth of Europe. We hope you enjoy this little guest mix for what promises to be another stellar addition to the Jazz Meet archive. We thank Sampsa, and of course you for listening! Until next week.
