DJ Grizz Soulful 80's Grooves

A mix of some of those 80's grooves for you now. For those of you (like me!!) old enough to remember the early 80's soul scene in the UK these were the days when the Soul Weekender was in its infancy and black music pirate radio stations were just getting a toe hold (Invicta, JFM, Solar anyone?). The A-Team, leg warmers, ra-ra skirts, ghetto blasters, and the wedge/ jerry curl hairstyles were king.

As SoulNRnB is off sunning himself I'm left holding the blog. I've some real 70's and 80's Soulful n Groove filled goodies to post up over the next week or so keep checking in if thats your bag.

The sun is out in London and the weather men are predicting a hot summer in the UK so heres a mix full of chilled out old school tunes. Perfect for lazing with a drink in the park, beach, backyard or just sitting back with the windows open on a sticky evening.... heaven!

The Soul Mixtape - The Finale - Volume 5


















5th and final Volume of the Soul Mixtape.

Hopefully, all volumes stand on thier own...but as a whole I hope it shows how soul has developed since the 70's through different black music genres.........blaxpoitation hip hop...Neo soul heroes such as Raphael Saadiq, Dwele and D'angelo....Unreleased tunes that beg the question "Why do they release that other tosh when theres this stuff sitting on a shelf?"....and british soul hero's like Omar, Loose Ends and Mica.

Finish like we started, with Quality Soul.

Im outta here for a while, but Grizz will hold things together for a while, Im sure he will treat you to some more gems from his collection like "Boom Boom Pow" from the Black Eyed Peas.

Thats a lie by the way.

DJ GRIZZ Late Night House Party Mix


Grizz is back with some more rareness that you can just put on and get lost in that well known house party sound from back in the day!
So grab a can of Tennents extra, get your back up against the wall, turn the central heating up to 20 and get listening to the rare grooves and downtempo Choons! (That will probably all be gibberish to our Non-UK visitors...!)


Tracklist in Comments section, please let Grizz know what you think!

SoulNRnB

"This mix is for all those people who can remember all them house parties from ‘back in the day’. Occasionally held in local community halls where the caretaker turned a blind eye to the late late finish but , for the most part, usually held in some London Council Flat with almost all the furniture and sometimes even the carpets removed!

As the night wore on and the reggae DJs wound up it was time for the Rare Groove specialists to hit the decks. People got their ‘2step’ on and couples ‘Bumped n Grind’. See if these tunes jog your memories……

Grizz"
LINK FIXED!! Sorry!

The Soul Mixtape

All - Just a note to say that the fifth, and final, Soul Mixtape will be here this week with more rare and unreleased tracks.

You may have noticed that Volume 1 has disappeared. It seems that the upload was deleted by the host and I wont be reposting. So, get the LP's while theyre available as they will not be reposted once deleted.

And please leave comments, they are always appreciated.
