c2eMusic Soulful Deep House

Happy New Year and welcome to the first radio show of 2026.
To kick off the new year I have a special guest who is fast becoming a regular. Emma joins us for the third time in the last 12 months.
The last time we ended up with a marathon 4hr mix as we carried on after the show finished on air.
Not to be outdone this time we went for even longer. This mix comes in at a whopping 4hr 50m! The radio show stared at 9pm and we finished playing at almost 2am.
The last half of the mix we were crate digging back to our UK days.

Apologies for the distorted microphone.

No tracklisting at the moment, almost five hours worth is too much to be trying to identify, but keep checking back because you just never know.  One rainy day I just might give it a try.

Here's to a great 2026 for us all.

my desktop instead of my aging MacBook.
I couldn't wait to play the new tracks I'd bought. Usually I download just before the show and then go on a wild ride mixing blind almost, live on air. This time I've had two weeks of listening to the tracks, getting to know them and ideas on how they might work together. It was like the old pre-radio days.
The mix has a really smooth warm deep bouncy feel to it. You will be head bobbing for sure.

For anyone in Sydney over Xmas, I hope you can join me on the 27th for my end of year boat party celebrating 25 years of house music. I've got a great line-up of DJs that really know their stuff.
If the last event is anything to go by it will be another amazing fun afternoon on the harbour.

This weeks show had another guest, this time a fellow Vocal Booth Radio DJ based here in Sydney. Maurizio Marchetti plays in my old time slot on a Thursday once a month. He's a big vinyl nut collecting edits and mashups alongside choice cuts from the last 40+ years. His sets have a lot of energy often underpinned by a funky/disco vibe but you can't pigeon hole that easily as you'll hear in this mix. We went all over on this one.
He grew up in London and so was exposed to the same house culture I was. We both share a love so for many of the same sounds, sub genres, labels, artists.
He's a regular resident DJ for Boogie Wonderland, one of the most successful nights in Sydney and Maurizio has put down so many now legendary sets that get the crowd and especially the ladies very excited. I also played alongside him as part of another local collective Larry's Herd. We've done a few b2b gigs over the last couple of years. It's always fun to play alongside him because of the breadth and depth of his sound and knowledge.
He came to this mix intent on playing gems I might not have. Happy to say he failed for the most part, but I don't have any of his mashups, he got me on those.
This show was so fun to do. Maurizio played for the first hour and came out like the rabbit in a greyhound race! Then for the second hour we went b2b. We each had our own deck, so it was one record each - vinyl. Really living on the edge! You can't plan ahead because you don't know what the other person is gonna play. You then have three minutes tops to rummage, choose, "load" onto turntable, beat match, cue and drop. Believe me that's not a lot of time, especially when your vinyl isn't sorted!! And as you will hear we didn't stay in any one lane for long.
So many great tunes in this mix, it's sure to become a favourite for many of you.

Tracklisting:
Not a chance - all vinyl!! Maybe one day!
Shazzam is your friend, should be able to get most of them. Likely to struggle with the mashups.

Enjoy!

This mix is just an open digital crate digging session, no theme just great music. A real mix of two halves, the first being deep soulful house from both sides of the pond. Baltimore, NY and NJ feature heavily alongside London.
The second half is a more upbeat club sound form more recent years dominated by European heavyweights.

This week I was joined by local DJ Terry A (Anastasiadis). Got into the scene in the mid 90's and carried on spinning tunes until the mid 00's. Terry is one of the DJs playing at my upcoming 90's Classics boat party on November 16th in the afternoon and the world famous Sydney Harbour. As you'll hear Terry brings that awesome US sound synonymous with that era.
The clocks had changed over the prior weekend which meant the show started an hour later in order to maintain the same UK start. Unfortunately I forgot and so we started an hour early and had to play for three hours. Terry didn't bring enough vinyl for such a long set. It was almost all used up in his first 90 minute solo. So for the last half of the mix he was rummaging through my collection which let's just say could be a little better organised!!
So many great tracks in this mix I guarantee you won't have heard for years. A real throwback session.
Looking forward to hearing what Terry brings to the boat party. If your coming along you're in for a treat.

Tracklisting:
Could be tricky as it was all vinyl, so no record other than the mix itself!
If there is a tune you like, just leave a comment asking and I'll provide back in the reply.

This is the second 2 0 0 8 mix now with the first one back in 2017 so eight years apart.  I tried to make sure the two didn't have all the same track as that would have been a waste of time making.  Only two tracks appear in both, but they're great tracks so I doubt anyone will complain.
The first hour is a fairly soulful affair with the opening 25 minutes on the deeper side.
The second hour is a mix of higher energy soulful stuff and straight up house.  Some great tracks in the last half, it was hard deciding which way to go next with every track played because there were so many options and all of them BIG tunes.
I am happy with the way it ended up and the journey taken.  Hopefully some of your favourites made it in too.
What's your favourite track from this year?  What's your favourite track on this mix?  Which 2 0 0 8 mix do you prefer?

This is a test run for a requested mix from my mate Martin Evans in the UK. He's a MASSIVE soulful vocal nut. He's always telling me I need more vocals in my set, especially female. One day last August while chatting he started sending you-tube links to his favourite tunes and challenged me to make a mix with them. I agreed and then kept forgetting. A year later I finally bought the tracks, I only had a few of them.
For last night's show I thought I'd give them a test run. I hadn't listened to them so didn't know how much energy they had to know where they would sound best in the mix. I nearly always have a rough idea even if I've only just bought something, but with these ones I was going in totally blind with the mindset that this would never see the light of day!
During the show the chatroom was loving the tunes, they are classics in the soulful vocal scene. Martin was in the chatroom making full use of all the positive emojis.
I recorded the show so I could listen and get a better feel for the flow, which I still intend to do one day. In the meantime I'm sharing this version for all you soulful vocal boys & girls to enjoy, despite it being a demo. I couldn't find the tracks he asked for that I already had, with a couple of exceptions so I had to improvise the last 20 minutes, but tried to chose quality product.
What are your thoughts? Does Martin know his stuff? Was it worth the pestering? Does it need an updated version with better flow and programming?

The next instalment in the monthly series. This time we comb through tracks acquired in the month of September all the way back to 2005.
This mix is a nice mellow melodic journey without any of the usual crazies. It was interesting because there really weren't many big anthems, monsters or beasts. Just lots of beautiful tunes.
Maybe with it being the end of the northern hemisphere summer all the producers have already released their big tunes for Ibiza and other party hotspots. Who knows, but this was a very different experience to the first three monthlys.

2: Francois K - Awakening (Needs Remix)
3: Sole Kitchen - From Your Soul
4: Roberta Rodriguez - I Keep Thinking Of You

11: Henry Wu, Earl Jeffers - Hi Life
12: Louie Vega, Tedd Patterson - Feels So Right ft Honey Dijon (Tedd Patterson Club Remix)

14: Soul Purpose - Salsa House

This doesn't happen very often, in fact this is a first. For this weeks radio show I played the set from the Sydney House Dance Battle. However that's only 90 minutes long and the show is two hours, so this mix has 30 minutes of extra music.
I'll be honest every time I heard the original mix I was left wanting more when it ended with Jesus Creates A Sound. Well I've answered my own wish!!
The songs in the last 30 minutes are heavyweights in their respective sub genres. Like Mike Tyson heavyweights.
I'm not sure anyone will listen to the original mix now as it's almost identical but shorter. There are some subtle differences in the transitions though. Most notably Heaven and Jesus Creates A Sound. I'll be honest the original mix has much more intensity in that transition. Horses for courses I guess. Both are free and available here so go nuts.

Tracklisting:
1: Donnie, Kai Alce - Olmec Save Us (Yoruba Soul Mix)
2: Radic The Myth -El Roto
3: Perempay, Davinche, MrV - This Is Not A Game
4: Badbox - Zurna

This is my 300th Podcast release!!!!!
It's been coming for what feels like years now, but we made.  I can't I've released this many mixes over the last 20 years.
If you were to play them all b2b without stopping it would take you over 21 days!!!  I owe so much to you guys for your ongoing support. Twenty years is a long time, and that's only the length of my digital story.  There is another 14 years prior to that when I lived on Technics 1210s.
I hope many more people are able to discover the podcast and go on journey of exploration back in time, one month or week at a time.

Back with the best of month series and it Augusts turn. It's a strong month as it historically has been when I buy the best tracks from Suncebeat when I get home. You'll recognise a fair few of them in the second half of the mix.
The first half goes back ten to twenty years and we've got some whoppers. When you look at the artists on this mix you see the quality stand out. Masters At Work, Quentin Harris, Karizma, Mr V, Terry Hunter, Sir Piers, Osunlade, Jimpster, Romanthony to name a few.
I enjoy the monthlys as they cut across time bringing together tunes from the last 20 years as that's how far back my digital collection goes.
Busy schedule coming up for gigs as we head into a new season down under. Highlights include playing on boat in the harbour with David Penn, and opening for Mark Farina at Carousel one of my favourite clubs. I closed for Mark around the same time last year so he is now the international DJ I've played most with. Both gigs see me go b2b with two DJs that have been on the radio show this year. Good friends Dante Rivera and Tony Garcia. Can't wait to play b2b with my mates at such good events.
