Seasoned DJ and turn table aficionado Dumani Ncube, or Dustee Du as he's know on the decks, has been flipping vinyl and seamlessly blending tracks together for over 25 years. One of the OG's (old git's) of Brighton soul, funk, R&B and rare grove, he heads up the DJ collective Soul Casserole. They are responsible for some of the best R&B nights out available in the south east of the UK. Having partnered with the likes of Craig Charles and Norman Jay, two of the Godfathers and the purveyors of funk, soul and rare groove music.Dustee talks about how he got into being a DJ, working alongside some of his idols, how he got his DJ name and even dub's the podcast pair with their DJ names. He also talks about the obsession of collecting vinyl, the hours spent flicking through record shops, in the hope of finding a rare recording. Also, he highlights the change in technology, and the hours spent mastering and mixing, the stuff no one sees but is integral to being a great DJ. If you like soul funk and R&B music this is a revealing insight into the obsessive nature of the DJ's who love it even more than you do.As always with this pair of plums, it's a fascinating and enlightening conversation with lashings of silliness and laughs a plenty.https://1btn.fm/dj/soul-casserole/https://www.facebook.com/SoulCasserole/?locale=en_GBhttps://linktr.ee/soulcasserole1 (the music track) www.thelookingforathirdpodcast.com Hosted on Acast.

Greetings, bonjour, what's happeningWelcome to Lager Time, legions of lager-lites, grab your tins, your bottles and your pints. My name is Paul Cree and this is my little podcast and blog where I share bits of my writing: stories, poems, thoughts, sometimes music etc.So what's been happening? A fair bit. Last week I was in rehearsals for a theatre show, Romeo & Julliet at the Polka Theatre in Wimbledon. It's a modern retelling, set in Merton, and is all done through live music - Rap, beatbox, singing, guitar and a loop-station. The show opens this Saturday and is aimed at young people, between 9-12 but there should be something for all the family in it. There's over 26 songs in the show that I have to learn, as well as almost a hundred ques that I need to remember. I'm one of the understudies but will be performing between the 10th – 14Th April, much later in the run. Alongside that, it's my usual work with Dream Arts and Fourth Monkey Drama School.Before I get round to introducing the next piece in this little Meditations series, I wanted to hark back to the intro post for this latest season (and also the reason why I started this latest series) where I took about reading books, to chat a little bit about what I've been reading, as I suppose it's relevant. I tend to have a couple of books on the go at one time, one fiction and one non-fiction or light-ish  book.I recently finished ploughing my way through Mister Good Times, which is the autobiography of soul DJ Norman Jay, the man behind the Good Times sound system. It was a decent read as it charts the development of lots of the music that came out of London from the 70's onwards. The book was given to me as a birthday gift, from a good pal of mine, Richard Purnell, who himself is a writer (and wrote one of my favourite blogs about old books with the old dick and balls scibbled in them) Richard has recently started his own Substack blog, which you can find a link to HERE or in the notes of the podcast.So in that Norman Jay book, when he talks about his younger years, getting into football and the like, he mentions reading these Skinhead books by a writer called Richard Allen. The way he talked about them, was that at the time they were some kind of street phenomenon, lots of working-class teens were reading these books; which took my interest. Last month, whilst having a few beers with my two oldest brothers and a few of their old mates, one of them, Dom, by chance was telling me he was re-reading all those Skinhead books. He consequently sent me a link to a BBC documentary from back in the 90's, about the books and the writer, Richard Allen, who seemingly no one knew much about, and was pretty far removed from that culture, yet, he wrote a boat-load of these cult classics, which have become collectors items. So I'm currently reading the first, Skinhead, and it's alright. There's a lot of violence, racism, and sexism - the main character and his mates are horrible, it pulls no punches in that regard, but if it's a snapshot of those times, even if it's somewhat exaggerated, then I think it plays a part. I certainly don't find myself rooting for this main character, he's an anti-hero in that respect – but I'm enjoy it. It reminds me of a lot of Irvine Welsh books, many of which I've read, or that BBC film Made in Britain that Skinnyman sampled on his first album Council Estate of Mind. I wonder if all those people were influenced by these books.Aside from Skinhead, I'm ploughing my way through a book I first read a couple of years ago, called New Class War by Michael Lind, which came out in 2020 I think, if you want to get a good understanding of the political climate of the last few years in the UK and the US it's well worth a read. And I've also been reading a book by the comedian Rob Becket, off the back of other comedians' books - Romesh Ranganathan and Geoff Norcott. All of which make me a laugh a lot more when reading what they've written, than they do when they perform their stand-up; I've no idea why that is.So, continuing with these pieces I've been writing, inspired by the 12 books of Mediations by Marcus Aurelius, this week I get stuck into a quote from Book 5 and it's called On Mad Skills vs Try Hard. Almost half-way through this series, hope you're enjoying it as much as I am.As ever, if you like this odd little niche thing that I'm doing over here, please recommend it to a mate, and if you fancy whipping the wallet out, you can make a donation on my Ko-Fi account, Buy-Me-A-Lager – there's a few copies left of my first book the Suburban, which you can grab on my website alongside a couple of other bits – then of course there's some music on Spotify, Apple, and videos on You Tube and all that caperKeep it Larger   Peas and tatersPaulBUY-ME-A-LAGER - https://ko-fi.com/paulcreeThe Suburban Book: - https://paulcree.co.uk/shop/thesuburbanRomeo & Julliet @ Polka Theatrehttps://polkatheatre.com/event/romeo-and-juliet/Richard Purnell is Writing - By The Factory Wall (Richard Purnell) – Why a Kindle is Not for Mehttps://richardpurnell.org/2011/04/23/why-a-kindle-is-not-for-me/Mister Good Times – Norman Jay MBEhttps://www.waterstones.com/book/mister-good-times/norman-jay/9780349700670Skinhead Farewell – Richard Allen DocumentaryMade In Britain Filmhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084287/Skinnyman – Council Estate of MindOn reading Books – Paul Creehttps://cree.substack.com/p/on-reading-booksOn Mad Skills vs Try HardThey cannot admire you for your intellect. Granted – but there are many other qualities of which you cannot say, ‘but that is not the way I am made'. So display those virtues which are wholly in your own power – integrity, dignity, hard-word, self-denial, contentment, frugality, kindness, independence, simplicity, discretion, magnanimity. Do you not see how many virtues you can already display without any excuse of lack of talent or aptitude? And yet you are still content to lag behind. Or does the fact that you have no inborn talent oblige you to grumble, to scrimp, to toady, to blame your poor body, to suck up, to brag, to have your mind in such turmoil? No, by heaven, it foes not! You could have got rid of all this long ago, and only be charged – if charge there is – with being rather slow and dull of comprehension. And yet even this can be worked on – unless you ignore or welcome your stupidity. BOOK 5 - 5Back in the mid-nineties there was this striker at Millwall called Chris Malkin. I remember we signed him from Tranmere, after we got relegated from what was then Division 1, I think, which is now the Championship, I think. He was a target-man, very tall - scored the majority of his goals with his head, of course. I don't remember him being prolific, but he would get ten to fifteen goals a season.To me, he didn't play or look like a professional footballer. What is a professional footballer even meant to look like?... to a twelve year old at least; but to me back then he looked about 50, like he should be wearing some cheap ill-fitting suit, cheerily teaching science in a secondary school to a load of dis-interested mouthy twelve year-olds, constantly mugging him off - This gangly awkward guy, with dark hair that jumped with all the grace of a giraffe on a bouncy castle; at least that is how I remember him. But the main thing I remember thinking about Chris Malkin, was: how is this geezer a professional footballer?Here's the thing, making that statement would suggest he was shit, he wasn't. He was an effective striker at that level, who had a decent career in the lower leagues. I think for my simple young mind, to be a pro, and a striker at that, you needed to have loads of mad skills. As in overhead kicks, multiple stepovers, taking on ten players and scoring hattricks (not that Millwall ever had anyone like that… except maybe Christophe Kinet, the smoking Belgian) – all the while looking like you're the popular kid in school that gets all the chicks, like the smoking Belgian Christophe Kinet.There were a couple of kids I knew growing up, who I remember as being amazing players: too good for the playground, too good for the school team and too good for the local teams – they both got on the books at professional clubs, Crystal Palace and Southampton I think  - but never quite made it as pro's. How?! I remember thinking, they've got mad skillsI never quite understood it, because when we are at school, what these kids could do with a football was out of this world, so it often made make me ponder If these kids mad skills aren't mad-skills enough - how much in the way of mad-skills do you need to make it as a pro?!Much later in life, in my early twenties, there was another guy I played 5-a side with, who'd played non-league for a stint. He was amazing, so much so that our main tactic was – just give the ball to Matt, and he would ping goals in from impossible angles, using both feet, whenever he felt like it. I believe he got as far the reserves for a sixth-tier side, but never even made it at that level; so, again, I'd think How much mad-skill do you need to make it as a pro??? And what is the average mad-skill level of a pro? Insane skill???Not until many years later, did I start to think, that maybe there is a bit more too it than just being technically brilliant with a  football at your feet. Obviously, just not to me.There's that famous Alex Ferguson quote, which goes something like ‘Hard work will always overcome natural talent when natural talent does not work hard enough.'Now the case of Chris Malkin, I've no idea if this is true or not, but I imagine he was on that training pitch early every day, putting a 1000% into every drill, following every instruction exactly, attending every charity appearance or children's ward trip at Christmas, boots always clean, performing every task to perfection. And a cursory glance on-line, tells me he's running his own physio-therapy practise, which would suggest he would've had to undergo training for to get certified; which was probably hard work. I think this is how the Neville brothers made it as pros at Man United – they're tactic was just work your bollox off and be as diligent as possible. In my mind, these are the people that mainly make it in the world of professional football and probably life in general. Even the tiny percentile of players who genuinely have mad-skills, like a Ronaldo, have probably dedicated their entire lives to this football caper, obsessively, since they were kids.For the last fifteen years (give or take a few where I had to go back to part-time) I've (just about) made my living (on and off) in the arts, working as a writer and a performer, of sorts. Prior to this, I've had a number of different low-paying jobs, some of which were pretty tough, at times. This job, at times, believe it or not, can be tough, but not tough like grafting on a building site, in the depths of winter, eight hours a day, for not-a-lot-of-dough. The toughness of what I do is in the insecurity of it and the occasional difficulties of trying to work with vulnerable people. I'm self-employed. Most of my money is earned through running workshops or working on community projects, often in and out of educational settings, working with mainly young people, but not always, showing them what I do, or working with them to create something: theatre, poems, music etc – and occasionally, I get paid to perform or write something, that gets performed in some sort of performance-venue, with lights and that.What I do is related to shows: stages and lights, dusty velvet curtains, I guess. Occasionally I'll meet people who'll ask what I do, when I tell them, sometimes, they say something like I'd love to do what you do… which I'm never quite sure how to respond to it, but sometimes, they'll go on elaborate; because:I write songs / I paint / I write poems  / My mates say I'm funny and I should do stand-up  / I was amazing in my school play as the donkey.…  / I wrote this amazing song once…none of which I have any problem with, until it occasionally goes beyond this into the tricker conversational waters of:   I'd love to do what you do…. But how did YOU get to do it?? You?? If I had YOUR luck I would be amazing at what YOU doWhat I often interpret as being implied here is: I'd be much better at it than YOU if I was as lucky YOU, YOU don't deserve to do what YOU doThe latter example, being the bitter one, is quite rare to be fair; but it has happened on a few occasions. The most common comment is I'd love to what you do implying something is stopping them from doing something they want to, due to something beyond their control, like some invisible force of unfairness, which I've somehow avoided.When these rare conversations take place and get to the this point, being the judgemental prick that I can often be, my response in my head to their statement of longing is no, you probably wouldn't want to do what I do, because chances are:you're not going to want to spend half the time skint, and the other half worrying about where the next load of work is coming from.You probably like holidays and probably won't want to go years without a holiday to go on, you probably expect holidays every yearOr more importantly, whilst you're in the formative years of any artistic pursuit long before you get paid even the smallest bit of money for your art:you're not going to want to make the necessary sacrifices, like choosing to not go with your mates on a Friday night, or play computer-games or watch Love Island when you get home from work, so you can work on this weird little arty-thing you do, which they probably won't understand or mug you off forAnd then then once you've got a bit of something that you might want to share to the world:haul your arse round a load of half empty open-mics on a cold Monday evening, where no is listening or you are routinely heckled by drunk locals who think you're a cunt just for stepping in front of a mic, or whatever the laborious soul-destroying equivalent is for other art forms.All of which is necessary, in order to develop and hone your craft. It can also be pretty boring and repetitive. It takes a long time to get even remotely good at something, especially, when you don't have that much talent or self-confidence to begin with; which is true in my case.I've met a few people in the game, who may well have had a shiny spoon hanging out their arse to begin with, or who've had the red-carpet rolled out for them in terms of funding and opportunities, with neither examples having ever earned any of it, but most people I know, who are successful in this, have had to work their arses off and made plenty of sacrifices in order to get where they are. Or they just didn't have many mates in the first place, even then, they've still had to graft and wade through the self-loathing.For all my many faults, and I have many, this is the one thing where I can say I've worked pretty hard at it and made plenty of sacrifices. And look at me, I'm flying, mate…. Well not quite, I'm surviving, just about, but it helps to keep things in perspective for me when I think about the vast majority people who have an artistic craft or passion, but never make anything from it, not that financial gain should be the objective, but it does help, because you need a lot of time to persue this crap and still keep the roof over your head.For me, part of my drive to make a career out of all of this, was that I thought it was the only thing I was remotely good at. I wasn't academic, I had no qualifications and since dropping out of college, I'd worked in a string of low-paying shit jobs, which I myself was mostly shit at; trying to pay bills and have some sort of life on top of that was really hard. It was a pretty miserable existence; minus a few laughs, most of which involved me being drunk or stoned (though there were plenty of times I did turn this down in favour of staying in to do this) – the only other times I remember being happy was sitting on my own, beavering away trying to write rap lyrics or stuff like this. At least doing this, skint or not, I've created some stuff, that exists in the world, that I'm proud of, met tons of people, had some great experiences and made loads of memories. Being a brain surgeon, plumber or programmer just weren't on the cards, mate, maybe this was the only way to live some sort of meaningful life. But to get this far, has involved a lot of sacrifice.A lot of the gigs and opportunities I got, in the early days, were probably because I was in the right place at the right time, so I got lucky in that respect - but I had to put myself into the place, in the first place, in order to be in the right place and make sure I had something to offer should someone notice me there. Most of the work I get now, is from people I've worked with before, or my name has been given to someone, because I turn up and do the best job I can; and I do feel like I have a unique skill-set and a load of experience under my belt, so I have something unique to offer.What I didn't have, at any point, was mad skills. I had some ability, which was undeveloped, as in, I could perform a bit, rap a bit and write a bit but nothing polished or super stand-out. I may have stood-out amongst my friends, none of which did anything like this; but that's easy. Some people are happy being that geezer in the local pub who plays guitar / is well funny / does magic tricks but that was never enough for me. Putting myself into places where there were lots of people like me, doing something similar, but with more talent, or honed skills, experience and confidence, kicked me up the arse to get much better at what I was doing and made me realise I'm not special at all, just another prick in the arty-haystack (see what I done there). So I had to graft, and even then, it's not like I've made it. Whatever that even means.When working with young people, I often come across ones with natural talent, and naturally, they'll shine in the groups they are in, and the groups will want to elevate them to front and centre; even when they don't always deserve it. Whenever I see them not trying that hard, I try my best to implore to them that, it's just now how the game works, and try and paraphrase that Alex Ferguson quote, as opposed to blowing smoke up their arse and letting them sit on their laurels; because life aint that long, and in the end, has little sympathy or patience for a 40 with rapidly fading good looks, who should've been a footballer, painter, actor, rapper, because they had mad skills Get full access to Lager Time at cree.substack.com/subscribe

TRUE HOUSE STORIES W/ BOBBY & STEVE (GROOVE ODYSSEY) # 093 - PART 1 Acclaimed DJs, pioneering promoters, long running radio presenters, record producers and business partners in the iconic Groove Odyssey brand, Bobby & Steve have reached legendary status in the soulful house and disco scene. Marking 34 years in the industry in 2019, the duo is also celebrating 10 years of their brand Groove Odyssey with partner Michael Hughes. With a residency at the world-renowned Ministry of Sound and Groove Odyssey hosting the main stage at the mighty 51st State Festival as well as their 3rd year of the GO Ibiza weekender and further dates being announced, this is set to be a remarkable year for Groove Odyssey. In addition to this, their eagerly anticipated debut artist album will be released at the end of 2019, and includes collaborations from Leroy Burgess, Duane Harden and Barbara Tucker amongst others. And with their long running prime time show ‘Groove Odyssey Sessions' on HouseFM.net, Bobby & Steve are in demand now more than ever. In 2016 the connoisseurs of house were honored to be invited as the first international guests to play at the Chosen Few festival in Chicago, where they were presented with a lifetime achievement award in front of 40,000 house heads. On this momentous event they were quoted as saying “to play and receive that award in Chicago where House music began, was truly an overwhelming spiritual experience”. Pioneers of soulful house since 1984, the inimitable twins Robert and Stephen Laviniere were born and bred in London's East End. They started their career at a time when the landscape of London's nightlife was changing forever, and the rare groove movement was on the cusp of explosion. The boys were instrumental figures in the eighties warehouse party scene, playing their favorite soul, funk and disco music alongside fellow stalwart DJ's such as Norman Jay, Paul ‘Trouble' Anderson, Jazzy B and Trevor Nelson. In 1985 Gordon Mac's (then pirate) radio station Kiss FM launched. A mouthpiece for the scene, Mac approached the twins, offering them a weekly slot and for over ten years their trailblazing Zoo Experience show was the stations longest running specialist show. Broadcast each and every Friday night between the hours of 10.00 pm and 12.00 am, it was a hotbed of exclusive tracks and remixes. Not only did their show give many of today's most recognized DJ's and labels their first opportunity to be heard on the UK's airwaves, in turn it allowed their faithful listeners the opportunity to hear new releases from significant UK and American labels, DJ's and producers. Alongside their radio show, the twins began their, now somewhat legendary, Klub Zoo night, originating at Munkberry's and later at the Soho Theatre. Famed for its mix of classic soul, disco and rare grooves, devoted followers would flock to the club each week to hear their favourite Salsoul, Prelude or Philadelphia International tracks. However, a trip to New York at the tail end of the eighties marked a major turning point in the futures of Bobby & Steve.

In this episode I'm speaking with Sydney DJ/Producer Edseven, recorded at his home studio, aka Vintage Hifi For Plants. Eddie O'Loughlan has built a rock-solid reputation over the last 20 years, sharing the stage with the likes of Gilles Peterson, Peanut Butter Wolf, Norman Jay, IG Culture and many more across Australia, New York, Berlin, Detroit, LA, Paris and Amsterdam. Collaborating with artists including Steve Spacek, Colonel Red, Inkswel, Kid Sublime, Ahu, Megatronic and releasing music on labels like CoOp, Turntables on the Hudson, City Fly and Inner Tribe. We spoke about his deliberate listening parties, sharing music production in imperfection for identity to form and using time effectively to create imperfectly, to keep creativity, mastering the craft and production flowing.

The Ace Records Podcast #22 - Norman Jay by Ace Records

On this episode it’s my pleasure to showcase a few tracks from the upcoming Hot Digits Year 7 compilation that’s out at the end of May, and that I have somehow managed to become involved in. I’ve got my contribution, as well as tracks from Andy Buchan, The Velvet Stripes, Stephen Richards and Ross Fitz, all of whom are joining me on what is a truly excellent compilation. I’ve also got new heat from Disco Lust, old heat from Change, George Duke and The Meters and other funky bric a brac. In the second hour I bring you a guest mix from Scottish DJ and music obsessive Ewan Mack. Hailing from Aberdeen but now living in Edinburgh, Ewan's love of music started from an early age when he started to listen to soul, funk and disco in the early 80s. In 1993, Ewan discovered house music after listening to a Graeme Park mix on Pete Tong's essential mix. A pair of belt drive turntables and basic mixer were purchased shortly afterwards and Ewan started DJing at house parties and birthday parties while at University. The belt drives were upgraded to 1210s which he still owns and Ewan continued to play at local nights in Aberdeen. He was a finalist in Cream's search for a resident DJ competition in 2002 just before it closed its doors! While a family and a career have taken over, Ewan still likes to collect a broad range of disco and soulful house-music although the tempo has moderated over the years. He makes regular recordings to share with like-minded music fans and started streaming on twitch during lockdown 2020. He references Graeme Park (fellow Aberdeen FC fan), MAW, Dave Lee, Norman Jay, Dimitri from Paris and Frankie Knuckles as major influencers. Ewan got in touch a while back to share some of his mixes, and as soon as I listened to one I had to invite him to record one for the show. Ewan’s mix is an expert selection of nu-disco delights, sometimes verging into soulful house, lots of reworks of classics, really funky, just what I look for in a guest mix. Big thanks to Ewan for a great mix, and if you like what you hear please head to Ewan’s Soundcloud and check out his other mixes. https://soundcloud.com/ewan-mack I’m back in two weeks bringing you a full on soulful mix from top bloke Iry Sabir - see you then! In the meantime, don’t forget that there’s a treasure trove of great shows to explore on Stream101’s Mixcloud - mixcloud.com/stream101 (PS, I made the rookie error of playing one of the tracks that Ewan dropped in my hour - argh! My bad, but that new Disco Lust tune is so good it deserves to be played twice!) HOUR 1 TRACKLIST Dr Packer - So Ruff, So Tuff (Dr Packer Rework) Change - It Burns Me Up Andy Buchan - Baller Ross Fitz - I Miss Your Love ('85 Mix) The Meters - Funkify Your Life RLP - Do You Believe That Love Will Never Do Without You?

He also has his first chart super hit with Talking Heads lead vocalist David Byrne with the song called “Lazy” and being invited to perform on Top of the Pops.

TRUE HOUSE STORIES W/ TEDDY DOUGLAS (BASEMENT BOYS) # 036 - PART 2 In this Segment Teddy discovers songwriter and diva vocalist Ultra Nate'. The Basement Boys begin to work with Major Labels such as Warner Brothers, Eternal, MCA and Mercury Records. The first trip to London when he signs “It's Over Now” and meets Norman Jay. A music conference and a cassette is handed to the guys and Crystal Waters is discovered. Crystal writes the “Gypsy Woman” Song for Ultra Nate album and it released as Crystal Waters. Dj Danny Tenaglia breaks the record out at the Winter Music Conference and not too far after it goes Gold. Basement Boys are the hottest commodity in the game and Teddy wants to follow Motown Records and make it a family business with the same.

To wrap up my three-part series for International Women's Day this weeks guest is the legendary DJ Paulette.

A classic recording from Sydney radio archives. The legendary NORMAN JAY on air with STEPHEN FERRIS on THE RHYTHM METHOD in 1989 on JJJ 195.7 FM when he was in town for the legendary FUNK INC party. About the Mix / Saturday nights were mine at Triple J from 1988 to 1993 from 10pm to 2am, primarily club sounds, but of course with my love of Soul/Disco flavouring the selection. I interviewed a few heroes, such as Frankie Knuckles (a very generous, sweet man), Chaka Khan (difficult) and of course this man Norman Jay MBE on his first trip to Australian around 1991.

After finishing off the house mix with mainly jackin and soulful tunes yesterday I decided to make another mix before our trip to see Norman Jay at Electric Elephant festival in Croatia tomorrow. I couldn't not do a Drum and Bass mix and I spent the early hours of the morning filtering loads of tunes and while I didn't have as long as I would have liked to do my research I was really happy when it came to recording the mix with the output. This is just over 2 hours of my favourite Drum and Bass, jazzy, rolling, funky, uplifting, progressive beats with fat baselines and vocals. Record labels include Hospital, RAM, 3beat, UKF, Hybrid and Sun and Bass recordings to name a few. Tunes from London Electricity, Hybrid Minds, Sigma, Calibre, Hugh Hardie, Nu:Logic, etc. I will be back later this month with more music. In the meantime get your system on, connect the biggest sub woofer you can find and turn this badboy up!

Carl Craig - At Les Biography: Ask any well-known DJ, artist or producer the secret of their success and chances are that hard work will be pretty high up their list of essentials. Anyone who knows Anna Wall will know that this is one of the many characteristics that defines her, and now, after years of working her way up the underground ranks, it looks as if years of graft are starting to pay dividends. Since first getting to grip with decks at the age of 19, Anna has developed a reputation and keen following in her native London and university town of Newcastle. Playing classic and contemporary house and deep detroit techno with a strong affinity with the roots of both, Anna’s broad knowledge of the history of dance music sets her apart from the hundreds of unimaginative, chart-championing DJs that plague the scene. Anna’s international break came in 2011 when she was recruited as resident DJ for Croatia’s Yacht Week, spinning for an epic 7 days 7 nights. Since then, she has been booked alongside some of the world’s most respected DJ talents, with the last few years seeing Anna DJ in the impressive company of MK, Robert Owens, Norman Jay, Inland Knights, Soul Clap, Adam Shelton, Jordan Peak, Santé, Matthias Kaden, the list goes on... Anna played for one of Mixmag’s first ever DJ Lab's on location at their penthouse in Miami alongside techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson and Miami’s own Treasure Fingers; an incredible achievement in its own right and one about which she is extremely proud. Anna spent her season last summer in Ibiza, playing clubs such as the world famous Space Ibiza for Future Disco alongside Carl Cox's The Revolution Unites every Tuesday, plus trips back to her hometown to play Warehouse LDN, and Watergate in Berlin. This year, her first solo EP is finally complete and with a collaboration with #1 most charted artist of 2013 on Resident Advisor: Sidney Charles in the works for Santé's Avotre imprint, be sure to keep your eyes and ears on this lady...

Fancy some sunshine sounds? this mix is pure soulful house goodness and is ideal for a summers day in the park, sitting by the pool or having a sundown cocktail. Strangely enough this is my first soulful house mix and this vibe takes me back to early 2000s and the era that was Rowsley Lodge, House FM, Unknown FM, Camden Palace, Bobby and Steve Soul Heaven, movers and shakers in bond street, the buffalo bar in highbury corner and everything else soulful house related. Mr Mole, Mundis, Han, Jenwah, Stace, Dee, Rob, Sam, Tracy Luv, Matt Nash, Piglet, Olner and the man himself Mikey Matt you all knows it! The music on this podcast is what i call proper house music and while it reminds me of that era because every club or bar you went to was playing soulful tunes, these tunes i have used are fresh. The inspiration and many of the tunes on this mix comes from my man Choci. One of the pioneers of electronic music in London in the late 80s and early 90s for years Choci sold vinyls from his west end Choci's Chewns record shop to all the biggest DJs in the land Oakenfold, Tong, Rampling, Norman Jay, Bukem, Goldie and the like. He also DJ'd all over London and the world and had various residencies including Escape from Samara at the Fridge in Brixton. If you look on any flyer from the day Choci was there headlining and those guys previously mentioned were often supporting him. Choci is a musical legend inspired by the music not commercials, check out some of Choci's art and you can catch the man himself dj'ing on tuesdays live on Kane FM for Team Robbo. It took me a few tunes to settle into this mix as some of the early stuff is recorded live so has varying BPMs, there are 4 or 5 exclusive Choci edits/remixes on this mix. I will bang a track list up when i have time. Enjoy the tunes, just let the mix roll it builds and builds, sit back enjoy the sunshine, hopefully your sundowner and turn it up! Drop me an email or facebook shout to let me know if you've been listening and if you like it

CFCF - Cometrue Biography: Ask any well-known DJ, artist or producer the secret of their success and chances are that hard work will be pretty high up their list of essentials. Anyone who knows Anna Wall will know that this is one of the many characteristics that define her, and now, after years of working her way up the underground ranks, it looks as if years of graft are starting to pay dividends. Since first getting to grip with decks at the age of 19, Anna has developed a reputation and keen following in her native London and university town of Newcastle. Playing classic and contemporary house and US garage and with a strong affinity with the roots of both, Anna’s broad knowledge of the history of dance music sets her apart from the hundreds of unimaginative, chart-championing DJs that plague the scene. Anna’s international break came in 2011 when she was recruited as resident DJ for Croatia’s Yacht Week, playing alongside CR2's Dan Castro for an epic 7 days 7 nights. Since then, she has been booked alongside some of the world’s most respected DJ talents, with the last few months seeing Anna DJ in the impressive company of MK, Robert Owens, Norman Jay, Inland Knights, Soul Clap, Adam Shelton and Jordan Peak. Anna finest moment to date came back March, when she played for Mixmag’s DJ Lab live stream at their penthouse in Miami alongside techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson and Miami’s own Treasure Fingers; an incredible achievement in its own right and one about which she is extremely proud. Now signed to Colluded Talent’s agency and with forthcoming releases on Two House Recordings (Denmark) and Deep Booth Recordings (Italy), the next few months and years look set to propel her to new levels of acclaim.

I kicked off the Sunstroke Pool Party live on the terrace of the Radisson Blu Hotel Media City for my mate Andrei and his Sunstroke Collective. My set was 1hr 45 of deeper warmup vibes to get the party started. The event was headlined by CN Williams who Norman Jay reckons is the best resident DJ in the UK. CN was broadcasting the event live on his Reelhouse Records radio feed. I had a brilliant day out. Big ups to Chants, Stan, Irene, Andrew, Dan,Omar, etc. who all came down to support me plus special guests Jan and Kate from Singapore. CN destroyed the dancefloor technically amazing and some upfront house music with old skool acapellas. Roll on the next one!

This selection of tunes takes me back to about '86 i was still at school, Kiss FM was still a Pirate Radio station and Morgan Khan had cornered the market in Soul and Dance in the UK, I had just got my first set of turntables. I was into Electro/Hip Hop at the time, which according to those in the music business was only fad and would only be around for a few years!!! The use of samples was becoming more popular with the likes of Public Enemy and Eric B & Rakim, this created a generation of crate diggers! DJs going through their parents record collections and second hand record shops looking for 60s and 70s soul and funk! The Likes of Norman Jay, Shake and Finger Pop and Quaff Records turned this into a whole new genre " Rare Groove". This was the moment I really got hooked on vinyl! This selection of tunes although are easy to come by now, but back then were well sort after and in my mind are still a great set! 1. The Meters - Just Kissed My Baby 2. The Honey Cone - Want Ads 3. The Blackbyrds - Rock Creek Park 4. Sweet Charles - Yes It's You 5. Chocolate Milk - Action Speaks Louder Than Words 6. Cymande - Fug 7. The JBs - Gimme Some More 8. Rueben Wilson - Got To Get Your Own 9. Ripple - I Don'y Know What it Is But It Sure Is Funky 10. Bobby Byrd - I Know You Got Soul 11. Esther Williams - Last Night Changed It All 12.
