Not been back to the Eighties for a while, so here's some Boogie tunes courtesy of that decade!

Two step the weekday blues away with a weekender soundtrack featuring Fonda Rae, L.A Boppers, Ingram, Norman Conners and many more!

Not much more to say, except for that fact that if you like this mix, your bound to love whatever Grizz serves up for you at the weekend, so keep up to date with the blog!

We get your head nodding with a Trumains gem, there's something typically smooth from Ronnie Mcneir, Larry T brings the latin soul, a rare groove monster from Arnold Blair, and we sign out with 2 soul club classics from Phyllis Hyman and Change.... plus more great stuff to turn on to.

SoulNRnB's Street Sounds Sessions 133


Super Soulful latest edition of our Upfront Street Sounds Sessions mix.

Some great comeback tunes from the likes of Cover girl Chrisette Michelle and "Super Chris", Frank McComb's "Soulmate", and a great track off Calvin Richardson's new LP.

Then we have the UK's own legend that is Omar on not one, but TWO tunes. The first from Sean Khan and remixed by none other than 4Hero; The second a retro sounder from EMV128. 

Also from the UK is Shanaz Dorsett with a track I love called "Four walls and a Garden" as well as the new Flying Lotus that has a touch of the $Hero's about it instrumentally. So much more too, 12 tracks in total, 50 mins of soulful sounds to keep you happy till Grizz gets back to you at the weekend.

SoulNRnB's Rare Groove Volume 6


 From the dusty side of the Rare Groove shelf comes some great two step tunes. 

Whilst we all have those Rare Groove and 2 Step tunes we know and love, my mixes will hopefully expose some of those tracks that didn't get quite the exposure some of the tunes, featured on these mixes covers, did.

So you got tracks from the Hawaiian Band Crackin'; A cover of Johnnie Taylor's classic "What about my love" by Damaris; Some Blue Eyed Soul from Laura Allan; Plus legends like Marlena Shaw.

I'll get back to the future next week and get out of Grizz's territory of rare Soul and Disco, and we can catch up with all the new music on the next Street Sounds Mix.

DJ Grizz- Soul Niceness 79

After our midweek boogie down frenzy from Mr S we slow things down to a 2step tempo for Soul Niceness 79.

This 70s and 80's soul n rare groove fest includes the Greg Diamond anthem, 2 tunes from the dustier corners of my shelves from the Jones Girls and Edna Wright, an LP gem from the Pointer Sisters, the famous sample included in the Labi Siffre tune (Google the Chas n Dave link if you don't already know the story!), and we end with a wind-down monster from Black Ivory.

Back next with some pure 80's grooves!

SoulNRnB's Disco Nites


As promised back in April, yes the year has gone that quick, here is part two of the Disco mixes I ran off for this year, a companion piece to SoulNRnB's Disco Daze.

Some great party time disco, again, with only a sprinkling of cheese, but LOTS of Soul and big vocals.

Get your 70's Hustle moves out the closet, and dance away till Grizz returns at the weekend.
