A Boxfull of Soul from 14.06.2026 – for Starpoint Radio

we’re back with another Boxfull of Soul, packed with sunshine grooves, rare gems, and proper feel‑good  morning soul.

I’ve been digging through the crates (and your contributions!) and tomorrow’s show is shaping up beautifully — a blend of modern soul, boogie, Brit‑funk, rare groove, deep soul and classic feel‑good favourites to ease you into the day.

A big thank you to this week’s contributors who helped shape the playlist:
Antony J Carter, Wendy Foy, Barry Hadingham, Gordon Stone
— your selections always bring the magic.

If you love smooth grooves, forgotten favourites, soulful surprises and those “ohhh I haven’t heard this in years!” moments, you’ll feel right at home.

Let’s start Sunday the soulful way.

Summer's officially knocking on the door and we've got a playlist that's absolutely dripping with sunshine vibes this morning! From 8am, we're serving up a glorious run through the decades — starting in the mid-80s and winding all the way back to the mid-70s — packed with soul, jazz-funk, and those irresistible Japanese Funk flavours you've been loving.

Speaking of which, we're diving deep into the Japanese Funk vault once again  with Tatsuhiko Yamamoto, Mirage, Jun Fukamachi and the mighty Hiromasa Suzuki all making an appearance. Trust us, these grooves hit different on a lazy Sunday morning.

We've got a silky Motown Northern Soul double stacker from Smokey Robinson, a Decade Rewind featuring Scheer Music, plus our Reggae/Ska Showstopper this week comes courtesy of our special guest Lance. 

Big love to this week's contributors: Barry Hadingham, Antony J Carter, Gordon Stone, and Wendy Foy — the Box Full of Soul family coming through once again with the selections.

So stick the kettle on, open up those windows, and let us soundtrack your Sunday morning the right way.
