First up, a big thank you to all that sent in Jingles/Shout outs - Much appreciated! Soulrific - AvenueQ - and the great Missjo90....youll all hear the jingles in future mixes!! Winner was DougFresh who gets that special comp!! His Jingle will feature on my Top 10 LP's of 2010 mix coming at the end of the year!!

But for now, one of my Soulful House comp's that I dig so much. Not done one of these for a while, so if your up for that latin/jazz-funk/soul vibe set to a dance rhythm, strap yourself in!

DJ Jori sets things off with that latin vibe, Reel People - Tortured Soul and Ralf Gum all bring the SOUL. Add Stephanie Mills (Yes, that Stephanie Mills!) and Sterling Ensemble into this and you got some blissed out sounds to party to this Halloween!!

SoulNRnB' Soulful House SIX

DJ Grizz- Soul Niceness 18

Happy Halloween to all those that celebrate it! Nothing scary about this mix though just top quality rare grooves n soul from the 70's n 80's.

Choc full of goodies to keep you groovin now the nights are drawing in. Tracks include an alternate take of the Micheal Orr rare groove classic, crackin' versions from The Marriots, Dorothy Moore and The Majors and a cool track from the artist Sting- that the 70's US 'brother' Sting not the Geordie rocker, tantric sex expert!

Back in a week but up next.... SoulNRnB of course!

SoulNRnB's Street Sounds Sessions 27

An absolute stonking edition of the Street Sounds mix, with my favourite tune of the moment from Erik Rico and Marc Mac called "Destiny" from thier forthcoming EP.

Other tunes of note are a great Collabo between Mark De-Clive Lowe and Sy Smith, the ever soulful Choklate, Reggie Smith back on a soul tip, and some new Joss Stone.

Hope you like, Grizzmaster General back with that rare soul vibe next week! Gotta say, was digging his Disco Soul mix alot....enjoyed that!!

DJ Grizz- Disco Soul Vol. 4

As Mr SoulNRnB said, another DiscoSoul Tag Team special- heres Vol.4 and my answer to Fridays mix. Another belter for those of you who appreciate their soul with a disco/boogie tune tinge.

Artists featured include Willie Tee, Esther Phillips and an instrumental take on an O'Jays club classic by the Armarda Orchestra (you just knew if you picked up a 12''and the band had the words 'Orchestra' in its name it was gonna be a disco/boogie cut!)

See you in a weeks time on a rare soul tip!

SoulNRnB Presents Disco Soul 3

DJ Grizz - Soulful 80's Vol.8

Someone told me it was 80's week on Facebook so I thought I'd better carry on the theme and post volume 8 of the Soulful 80's series.

Ten more tunes from my 80's boxes including Skyy, Berres Hammond (who'll be familier to reggae fans but put out some Soul tunes in the 1980's), Woods Empire and finally one from Dr York for all you who recall the 80's roller disco craze (its making a comeback I hear!!).

See you all in a weeks time although SoulNRnB will be popping in at the end of the week.

Been Spoiling you of late, but as Grizz said on the mellow post, its tough days for people at the moment so lets forget the day to day grind and enjoy some good music. The last of my double Street Sounds Posts, although theres lots more of them to come and future editions feature the like of Sunshine Anderson, Erik Rico and Marc Mac, Dave Hollister and more....

 

Untill then, try these two:

SoulNRnB's Street Sounds Sessions25

SoulNRnB's Street Sounds Sessions 26

Edition 25 has my favourite cut from Calvin Richardsons excellent "Womack-a-like" new LP, A new tune from Donell Jones, one of my new artist picks from Teresa Janee, and a great Hip Hop tune from Andree 3000 (Dont be put of soul lovers!)

Edition 26 has a great tune from the up and coming Amanda Diva, and other fresh artists like Vaughn Anthony, Yvette Rovira and Coultrain. All topped off with the O.G. Mr Ronald Isley.

I hope your still digging these mixes and hope they are keeping you up to date with whats out there. Comments have slackened off, so let us know whats up, good or bad, and big thanks to those that have sent jingles/shout out in to us.

Grizz up next, see you next weekend.

DJ Grizz- Mellow Grooves Vol.5

The start of another week and lots of gloom about with cuts and job losses being threatened. But hey.... lifes good at the end of the day! Sometimes you just need to chill and take the time to smell the roses!

Here my own small contribution to kicking back and chilling out- Mellow Groove 5. Plenty of good old laid back Soul n Jazz to ease you through your week including The Impressions, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Champaign and a blue-eyed soul cover from Kiki Dee - the 1st Brit woman to sign to Motown in the late 60's.

SoulNRnB up next and we've got lots more planned for the weeks to come including another double DiscoSoul special.
