Hi all, So I have thought about doing a modern soul special for a while and it has now happened.

As well as playing music that I love a couple of days before the show I had the idea of sharing knowledge of how the genre started, the time lines and who first coined the term modern soul. I started to do some research and quickly realised it was not well documented. Rather than just leave it I pushed on and decide to reach out to some key figures to ask their opinion on it. I did not manage to get a definitive answer although a lot of the same people where discussed. In hindsight I should have done this many weeks or even months before but as I had already advertised the special it had to go ahead. At this point I would like to thank those that I did speak too namely, Andy Davies, Bob Jeffries, Arthur Fenn, Yogi Haughton, Dave Thorley and Steve Guarnori. Some very interesting phone calls happened and I am still in the mindset of talking to more and attempting to document it.

Below is the show recording, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did

As most of you are aware Andy Ward started the Vocal Booth Radio station some time ago and recently held a gathering for all the DJ’s and listeners at the Hockley Social Club in Birmingham. It was a wonderful day and a great chance to meet many of the stations DJ’s face to face, many of us know each other already but great to meet those that we never had before. the main focus was the terrace but also a few of us played in the larger warehouse area selecting music while people had food and chatted.

I was one of the 4 or 5 dj’s that played the warehouse and here is the recording. a lot of soul and a splash of reggae but think mellow, downtempo vibes as background music. Its a nice listen if I don’t say so myself

This months show was 2 hours of deep and soulful house music, Lots of new releases included.

Enjoy!

Hi all, this months Revolve Radio Show was 2 hours of deep and soulful house featuring new music from Ron Trent, Craig Smith, Southbeach Recycling, David Lynn, N’Dinga Gaba and much more. Enjoy

This months show I randomly selected album cuts working my from the top left of my record collection. Mostly soul music found its way into my fingers but also a smidge of disco and reggae. I enjoyed this one as many of the tracks I had not played in a long time. Hope you enjoy it too.

The mood took a few nights ago to have a little mix just for the fun of it. just under 3 hours of House music no talking. I hope you enjoy as much as I did in the moment.

What a week for soul music! We lost Randy Brown, Jerry Butler, Roberta Flack, Gwen Mcrae and Angie Stone in a week, I pay tribute to these artists on this show. As I type this Roy Ayres and Yamwho also passed today! Classic soul music represented followed by some soulful and deep house in the mix.

In this weeks show for the first hour I recreated my set from the great Tenerife Funk Soul Fiesta, second hour featured follow on a some new music as well as an announcement on moving to a monthly show which will be the first Wednesday of each month

Hi all, I different show from the last few weeks. An unintentional disco set spurred from selecting the first track incorrectly so I just rolled with it. Enjoy

This weeks Revolve Radio show recorded live on Vocal Booth Radio.

2 hours of deep soulful dance music, enjoy
