Our second episode features Marlon Gonzalez. Recorded at his studio apartment in San Francisco's Historic Lower Nob Hill District.
Marlon, originally from New Jersey, is a record collector, musician, filmmaker and long time resident of San Francisco.
I've known Marlon for years. We have played records together since 2013. He was an integral part of our soul night Hello Stranger at Rock Bar, Night Owls at Elbo Room and our East Bay night at Ruby Room Bar. You can catch him guest deejaying with me some nights at Homestead Bar on the 4th Friday of the month from 9 to close.
We met to record this episode Thursday February 20th. Unfortunately, after reviewing it, we noticed some noise interruptions that made it unusable. It was a real bummer. We tried to re-schedule for another time. Tuesday March 3rd, the stars aligned. I jumped on Bart at 16th st, got off at civic center and crossed the colorful tenderloin towards Nob Hill. Met up at a coffee shop around 8pm and walked over to his apartment. It was a real treat tripping out on all the cool pictures and art inside his place. We talked, listened to jazz records and looked at books on vintage chinese film posters. Around 9pm we started setting up and double checked all equipment was working properly. Marlon grabbed a stack of 45's and things got underway. It was a great time. Im very excited to finally share this killer set of songs he put together for us. We hope you enjoy it.

In our first episode of PSR, we visit Bay Area DJ and record collector Anthony Colón at his home in Oakland California.
Anthony and I used to have a monthly night at Rock Bar in the Mission District in San Francisco called Hello Stranger. The night ran for over 4 years. Unfortunately, we where forced to end it due to cabaret permit about a year ago. Anthony has since become a father and is taking a break from all Dj commitments. I got to catch up with him and meet his lovely daughter Ruby for the first time. He welcomed me into his home and set up the portables on the kitchen table where we recorded this first episode. This playlist was not pre-selected, all records were picked on the spot. What we ended up with was an all 45rpm, half female, half male, all hitters mix.
