Hi all, I am sure that most that read this site are aware that this year saw the last Vocal booth weekender in Spain, I have had the honour of playing almost every event for 16 years so this year was special and emotional. Unfortunately due to a technical issue on the day the live recording was not great so I decided to recreate it on my Revolve Radio show, that will also be podcasted on the VB Radio site but decided to put just the set up here, no microphone etc for a better listening experience. I was very proud of the set and had some amazing feedback from people including many of my peers, I have actually been asked to do a guest mix for Lars Deeper Shades of House show after he heard my set on the day, high praise and an honour, date for that one incoming as soon as I have it. In the mean time stream, download or podcast available below. Enjoy

Latest radio show, a deep house affair, lots of new music in the mix for your listening pleasure

Big Love, Enjoy

Hi all, So I have thought about doing a modern soul special for a while and it has now happened.

As well as playing music that I love a couple of days before the show I had the idea of sharing knowledge of how the genre started, the time lines and who first coined the term modern soul. I started to do some research and quickly realised it was not well documented. Rather than just leave it I pushed on and decide to reach out to some key figures to ask their opinion on it. I did not manage to get a definitive answer although a lot of the same people where discussed. In hindsight I should have done this many weeks or even months before but as I had already advertised the special it had to go ahead. At this point I would like to thank those that I did speak too namely, Andy Davies, Bob Jeffries, Arthur Fenn, Yogi Haughton, Dave Thorley and Steve Guarnori. Some very interesting phone calls happened and I am still in the mindset of talking to more and attempting to document it.

Below is the show recording, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

As most of you are aware Andy Ward started the Vocal Booth Radio station some time ago and recently held a gathering for all the DJ’s and listeners at the Hockley Social Club in Birmingham. It was a wonderful day and a great chance to meet many of the stations DJ’s face to face, many of us know each other already but great to meet those that we never had before. the main focus was the terrace but also a few of us played in the larger warehouse area selecting music while people had food and chatted.

I was one of the 4 or 5 dj’s that played the warehouse and here is the recording. a lot of soul and a splash of reggae but think mellow, downtempo vibes as background music. Its a nice listen if I don’t say so myself

This months show was 2 hours of deep and soulful house music, Lots of new releases included.

Enjoy!

Hi all, this months Revolve Radio Show was 2 hours of deep and soulful house featuring new music from Ron Trent, Craig Smith, Southbeach Recycling, David Lynn, N’Dinga Gaba and much more. Enjoy

This months show I randomly selected album cuts working my from the top left of my record collection. Mostly soul music found its way into my fingers but also a smidge of disco and reggae. I enjoyed this one as many of the tracks I had not played in a long time. Hope you enjoy it too.

I am sure you are all aware through my socials that I currently have a new track released. However I feel compelled to put pen to paper and give some back story and words of thanks. I don’t make music very often but once in a while when the mood takes I get creative, sometimes something happens sometimes not. Synchronised Feels was one of those times it happened. I actually created this one over a year ago but felt it lacked something. I looked through some other projects and found some live percussion in a track that myself and Julian Bendall had been working on. It fitted perfectly and gave it that extra edge that was lacking. After checking with Julian that he was OK for me to use it it was game on. Some extra musicality and a top line I felt was required so we reached out to a few people which unfortunately did not hit the mark. I the contacted my friend Jamie 3:26 to see if he had a keyboard player he could recomend. Turns out his studio partner Danou P was available, Jamie hooked me up. Danou after a call did several takes and sounds and absolutely hit the mark. Totally understood the vibe and delivered. The guy is a pro and brilliant to work with. After messing with the parts he supplied in various ways I found a sweet spot and played my version on radio and at a few club nights and it was received well. I had already been working with Lee from HouseHead London so passed it his way and he liked it enough to consider a release. I generally send my work to only a couple of key people, Craig Smith being one of those. He called me to say it had a vibe and he would like to remix it. Of course I have huge respect for Craig so felt very honoured he would ask. Some time passed and Craig sent an early draft. I was blown away by what he did and the energy he injected. he did a few tweaks and additions refining his vision. The end result was stunning! Obviously the label loved it too and we decided to release Craigs mix on its own (My original will come later in the year) Although I knew Craigs mix was special I did not expect a Deep House track to be so well received, multiple charts on Traxsource from the likes of Atjazz, Groove Assassin and Risk Assesment, DJ Mixes etc followed along side Abel, Jamie and of Course Craig all playing it at the Southport Weekender. So as you can see, it took many to create this and would be wrong for me not to credit and give thanks to all those that helped in any way to bring this one to life.

Super proud and grateful for the connection I have made and what they have done!

The mood took a few nights ago to have a little mix just for the fun of it. just under 3 hours of House music no talking. I hope you enjoy as much as I did in the moment.

What a week for soul music! We lost Randy Brown, Jerry Butler, Roberta Flack, Gwen Mcrae and Angie Stone in a week, I pay tribute to these artists on this show. As I type this Roy Ayres and Yamwho also passed today! Classic soul music represented followed by some soulful and deep house in the mix.
