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?
