Nu Directions

OK here it is. The latest edition of Nu Directions that went out live on the platform on Sunday. Thanks to those that tuned in live and the few souls who joined in the interactive chat experience. Featuring the usual spread of more soulful vibes to start, before a nice slice of broken beat and sliding in to some more jazzy and latin styles for the second half of the show - more reminiscent of the ND show in previous years. A number of amazing new releases included in the show so to be sure to check them out and support the artists. Apart from that ...I trust you will enjoy the podcastKeep it Happy - PetePlaylist here:https://www.mixcloud.com/peterhitch1/nu-directions-120323/

Here is the latest show that went live this morning my time (at silly o'clock) for the Saturday evening UK/Europe audience. A slightly more, soulful show to start this time around but building to a rousing danceable finish with some Latin vibes later on. Something for all.

So here is the show that went out Saturday evening in the UK and the US. Absurdly early my time ... thank heavens for coffee! Good to see so many locked in listening and plenty participating in the chat at this different hour. Maybe I will do it again :)And on to the set. This one featuring largely hi-energy beats in the mix, start to finish. Broken beat and synthesised vibes for the first hour and some frenetic dance-floor Nu Jazz for the second. I enjoyed myself and I trust that you will enjoy too.Keep it happy - Pete.Playlist here:https://www.mixcloud.com/peterhitch1/nu-directions-290123/

Here is the latest from Nu Directions. I had been thinking to myself that I had been neglecting the jazz elements a little in the recent regular shows so I decided to get in the studio and make up for it, good and proper with this one, as we head on a "Jazz tip". Its definitely one that the Jazz heads are going to enjoy, and featuring predominantly up tempo jazz elements its also one for the jazz dancers. Nu Jazz vibes to get your toes tapping .... and for those game enough to bust some jazz steps ... be sure to push back the furniture a little and let your body feel it ;) Either way, I trust that you will enjoy.
