In this edition we are back from L.A. after an incredible time at the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards. It was an incredible time full of fantastic memories, music and laughter -- so it's only right that we bring you a copious amount of that same energy right here. Discover the newness from GRAMMY® nominated producer, Brett "BDubb" Baker as well as an EXCLUSIVE remix from GRAMMY® nominated soulster, Eric Roberson and live performance of GRAMMY® nominated group, Foreign Exchange (you like how I keep using GRAMMY® nominated, don't ya? *lol*). Be sure to feast your ears on some new artists as well as a soothing remix from DJ Markus Gramm. Throughout this journey, I've sprinkled in some GRAMMY® thoughts I captured while in L.A. and find out about the Contemporary Bluegrass Techno House category as we re-cap the GRAMMYS® by continuing to celebrate great music.

I struggled with how I would pay homage to such an amazing icon, amid the impending onslaught of Teddy P. tribute mixes and podcasts, without being redundant. Instead of dropping my favorite songs from the Teddy Bear, I'm inviting you to celebrate the magnificent torch of assertive soul that he held in the universe for decades. These featured artists are dynamic, strong and embody the potent level of passion indicative of Teddy's sound. It is a blend of veterans, newcomers, throwbacks and rarities from across the globe. This is my contribution to the well deserved respect and love going out to Teddy Pendergrass and his family. Enjoy.

In this edition we're wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with a modicum of musical gifts :) With the success of the "Sadaxwell Edition" (thanks for downloading), I decided to drop a mashup of another dynamic soul duo. Lalah Hathaway has one of the most soulful, rich voices I've ever heard while Eric Roberson serves as a shining example of the indie soul grind done right. Their recent duet, "Dealing," is our generations' "Secret Lover" -- in its audible and visual delivery. So my FIRST gift to you is two-fold: a special blend of my favorite Lalah and Erro tunes mixed by DJ Markus Gramm. He's an elusive brother, but i hope we all hear more from him in the twenty-ten ;) Lalah + Erro = Lalaherro [lay-luh-RO] for the holidays :) Be blessed and stay tuned for your other two gifts of the day!

Be warned, we're going there in this edition as we stretch your audible palette with Quadron, Brittany Bosco, Slakah the Beatchild, Emiliana Torrini and other obscure sounds itching to be a part of your playlist.

The dynamic duo, Nicolay & Phonte aka FOREIGN EXCHANGE, join us to discuss their new album, "City Lights vol 2: Shibuya" hitting stores this Tuesday (9/15). In addition to the album (featuring the talented Carlitta Durand, Zo!, et al), we explore the formation of their indie label and how social media (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, etc.) has impacted their music.

Don't get it twisted, I have included an MJ-inspired set that you're sure to enjoy as we celebrate, mourn, laugh, cry and moonwalk all weekend. We also opened up the FFC HOTLINE last night to capture your favorite MJ memories and we've included them in this show as well. As I type, my emotions are swimming in a heavy pond of sadness and just a weight of grief with no clear plan on how to fully release what I feel. I think this edition of the FFC is a start.
