Soul Music of the World

  Believe me when I say we are well connected...for fans of pure, soulful House Music, we have the hookup. DJ Elliot Sunn has been spinning only the best for years now. We featured his mixes in years past and he continues to blaze with the latest from the underground. What we like most is that he credits the artists and producers accordingly and it allows us to connect with them as well. He's an innovator, a catalyst for those of us who know there's so much music yet to discover. We salute this brother and put the spotlight on Mix #172. We hope you'll enjoy the groove.   COA   Find more from DJ Elliot Sunn here!    

A classic from the artist known as Godfather Sage...   "Slow Grind"  circa 2004

So years ago when I lived not too far from London, I would go there often to shop in a variety of record stores. One day while sampling some new House Music, I found a piece of vinyl that definitely caught my attention.The track was "Don't Fail Me Now" and it was done by Atlantic Fusion. As was common for me back then, I decided to call the label to see if I could meet the production crew. As it turned out, it was a crew of one. One man was the producer, the label, the marketing and he was Felix Hopkins. I got the chance to meet Felix in person and have admired his work since that fateful day in the record shop. Today's download is an old recording of the aforementioned track and was taken straight from the vinyl. The song is not available for download anywhere but the world still needs to hear it. If you run across Felix one day, tell him COA thanks him for the influence and wishes him continued success. Peace, love, and house music....one!

An oldie but goodie mixed by the phenomenal Katy Walker..download "We Live in Brooklyn" now. A fantastic set featuring music from the likes of Peter Hadar. So much great music out there. Cut those radios off and dig a bit deeper. You deserve it! For more on Unemployable, follow the link below.   http://www.unemployablenyc.com/dj-mixes/

2015 was an outstanding year for us. We met a lot of our goals and planted more seeds of success. One thing we touched on a bit was music licensing. This track, produced by Stico Von Drake, comes from our vault of songs readily available for media use. Trust me, you're gonna hear more of our production in film really soon. Thanks for the support and feel free to share this with your friends. COA

We've followed Katy Walker and Unemployable Music for years! You feel me? Years! They've repped Brooklyn and more importantly, progressive sounds in all they do. Purveyors of house, electronica, and pure quality dance music that inspires music junkies like myself to stay true to good music. Here is "One Love Vol 2" from Unemployable and we hope it will be enough for you to dig deeper and find what else they've been up to. Happy Holidays and truly all the best for each of you in 2016!       

DJ Renay and I have been friends for years, laughing with each other thru life's ups and downs. One constant reminder of our friendship is our love for music.
