Across 135th Street – Morning Fever Special with Patrick Mocan

“I like to play funky sounds from the undergrounds.” What passes for Patrick Mocan’s official bio seems more than a little playfully vague, but it's actually quite apropos. The man behind of one of Montréal’s most beloved loft parties, Morning Fever, Mocan is a disco/boogie disciple whose sets include any number of varied genres and yet-to-be recognized subgenres – West African modern soul, Jamaican space funk, Trinidadian house and more – that are the domain of only the most forward-thinking selectors. At Morning Fever, this diverse coalition of grooves serves as the perpetually on-point table setting for guests like Ari Goldman, Mark Grusane, Twilite Tone, Jamie Tiller, Raphael Top Secret and Tone B Nimble. Visiting with Chairman Jefferson Mao on a special Across 135th Street broadcast all about Montréal, Mocan dips into his cache of Fever favorites and debates bagel merits in a Mile End-vs.-Manhattan matchup for the ages.
