A slow and sultry mix for slow, dark rainy days in the UK. My interpretation of the Quiet Storm genre, to help those unfamiliar with the term here’s a few choice quotes form wikipedia ‘genre of contemporary R&B, performed in a smooth, romantic, jazz-influenced style’ sounds nice! ‘Quiet storm was marketed to upscale mature audiences […]
Warning this mix contains no Christmas music! However it is a lovely selection of danceable songs from around the world with a strong Disco theme running throughout. Perfect to dance to, with your family, friends, whoever you’re stuck with or by yourself, a solo dance is often best! Happy Christmas and hopefully next year will […]
This mix is dedicated to Christian, who started Ghettospheric with me something like 12 years ago. He’s rarely seen behind the decks now but still introduces me to new music all the time and has great taste! As we can’t hangout and play records today here are few we’ve both loved over the years and […]
This mix was recorded after a week of fairly heavy record shopping in Istanbul and Ankara. I was introduced to Turkish psychedelic rock, folk, arabesque disco and a load of other exciting and soulful records a year a ago. There’s some real classics on here that have long been popular in Turkey and abroad, and […]
With a bit of heatwave going on in the UK here’s a very cool and classic Ghettospheric mix, lot’s of Rare Groove and Modern Soul perfect for the weather. This mix and all of my mixes are 95% black musicians and 100% black music. If you do and are you’re enjoying this or any of […]
I’ve not recorded a mix in a while, instead taking time to focus on and process the current worldwide protests for necessary change and how I can help. This mix and all of my mixes are 95% black musicians and 100% black music, music which has essentially shaped my existence. I’m sure a lot of […]
With a lot of the world still in lockdown and most of us having a mild existential crisis here is a mix of Island Soul, Old Soca and Reggae to hopefully cheer you up! With some classics from the Caribbean and a few Lovers Rock tunes form this colder and less colourful island. Probably best […]
Earlier this year in June I spent a very enjoyable evening with Cam H in a back room of a small whisky bar in Toronto playing records and getting real loose. We played a whole load of Modern Soul, Boogie, Lovers Rock, and Street Soul as you’d expect, also a few treats from further afield. […]
After some extensive digging in New York and Toronto last month this mix is the more mellow side of my finds. There is a long live recording from the Red Light in Toronto with my No1 Canadian Cam H on the way with the party bangers! A load of really nice Gospel and some more […]
It’s been a good few moths since the last mix but with plenty of time digging and loads of new records here’s the first new mix to ease us in to summer. A good mix of classic soul, some stripped back gospel and a few up tempo dancers. Next up is For Tropical Souls 3, […]
