Groovement Podcast // Johnty Del Monte: Memory Bliss
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my old friend JDM – always ahead of the curve, self-made fruit juice billionaire Johnty Del Monte has been in self isolation since 2008.
Speaking via his platinum satellite phone in the Bahamas, JDM said:
“These are dark times, and I appreciate not everyone is able to play golf on their yacht.
So I thought I’d do what I do best – no, not tinning fruit, but playing records.
Here’s a mix to bring some sunshine into your lives. And it’s all killer no filler, there’s no obscure funk 45s on this- I had to chuck them at some French fishermen who were trying to slip stream me in the Bay of Biscay.
Anyway, gotta go, I’m supposed to be playing a rave set via Zoom to some pensioners in Tuscany.
Stay lucky.”
