Life at RTRFM is wonderful and tropical as Claude relaxes with special guest John Safari’s Record Shack Naughton who lays down the whole show on his only night off ahead of the big opening. Its fantastic – the man is a genius and you are going to love these sounds – lots of exclusives and vintage vinyl rarities – Claude had to work hard to persuade Mr Safari to let us keep a little playlist as a souvenir.. it’s one of El Ritmo’s best ever Tuesday night parties…
