House Finesse

We know it’s been very quiet around here – that’s for good reason whilst we work out the next chapter for House Finesse.

In the mean time, One Phat DJ knocked together an hour (and a bit) mix as a very special Christmas gift to you all.

Have a wonderful festive break and an amazing 2016!

As we enter the bank holiday weekend and the 8th week of #ONEPHATDECADE, we’re treated to an absolute belting classics mix from our very own Souljackerz.

Back in 2011 when I was reconsidering the format of the podcast, I was keen to explore new partnerships to share the journey with fellow lovers of fine house music. Over the years, we had featured quite a number of guest DJs and producers, bringing new talent to the table along the way. I wanted to collaborate with someone and there was one particular act I had in mind – enter the Souljackerz.

Souljackerz duo Stuart Braybrooke and Matt Tsang have been working the circuit for many years, bringing their unique flavour of house music to turntables and speakers across the UK and beyond. Inspired by a range of different music genres, they blend the funkiest soul with the deepest jams from house music and beyond. I remember hearing their remix of Adele’s “Rollin’ In The Deep” for the first time and thinking “This is not your typical pop remix – this is pure gold!”. They continued to deliver some belting tracks which confirmed for me Souljackerz had skills that would really compliment the podcast.

I met up with Matt for a few drinks, threw around some ideas on how we could evolve the podcast and “House Finesse” was born. Fast forward 4 years and here we are, 55 shows under the belt between us and celebrating 10 years of house music through the podcast. It could never have happened without them and I’m eternally grateful for all their help along the way.

To celebrate #ONEPHATDECADE, Stu and Matt have put together a very special classics mix featuring MANY influential tunes from their past. This is serious tunage, perfect as we go into the bank holiday weekend. Download, turn it up to 11 and enjoy!

Manchester is in the house as DJ Cruze brings us another guest mix in the 7th part of our #ONEPHATDECADE celebrations.

Back in 2005 when I was starting to investigate music podcasts, DJ Cruze was a huge inspiration for me. His mixing was impeccable and favoured music genres were full of energy. I used to look forward to Christmas as he regularly remixed a classic Christmas track for his listeners. Whilst I shied away from recording voiceovers for the podcast, DJ Cruze was no stranger to the mic which added his cheeky Northern personality to a top quality show. (His better half even recording the original idents for the One Phat DJ Podcast.)

As one of the early DJs from the Manchester rave scene, Cruze is no stranger to house music either. He’s honed his musical selection and production techniques through the years. In fact, he’s got such a good ear for music, he can easily identify samples of new music from their original counterparts. I dare you to challenge him!

DJ Cruze has been such a huge part of our podcast journey, we were mega-keen to get him to join in the #ONEPHATDECADE season so, after a long break from producing, we were absolutely honoured when he accepted. With this special trip down Memory Lane, selecting some of his favourite tunes from the past 10 years, you shall not be disappointed.

Be sure to follow DJ Cruze on Facebook, Twitter and Soundcloud, as well as on his own website where he plans to relaunch his podcast.

Rave on!

Six weeks into the #ONEPHATDECADE celebrations and there’s no stopping us as we head out to Milan for a live session from one of our favourite jackin’ house producers, J Paul Getto.

As sub-genres of house music have evolved over the years, you may have noticed the rise (or redefinition) of jackin’ house. Sitting somewhere between disco house and deep house, with it’s infectious uplifting loops and resampled vocals, there’s no getting away from the fact jackin’ house was suitably placed for the (Funky) House Finesse “house style”.

Several DJs and producers from the scene have stood out but, for me, there is one very special producer who has consistently created endless reams of quality tunes that constantly featured in my mixes. It’s safe to say that J Paul Getto has been a very special part of every mix I’ve produced over the past few years.

It’s an absolute honour to have him join in the #ONEPHATDECADE celebrations with this guest mix he recorded live in Milan earlier this year. It’s fair to say it’s got his style all over it with only one track (by good friend DJ Mes) avoiding his special finish.

Be sure to hook up with J Paul Getto on all the familiar channels for all his latest productions and gigs; Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud, Youtube and Beatport.

Our fifth weekly guest mix celebrating #ONEPHATDECADE comes from good friend and fellow funky house podcaster, DJ Paul Velocity.

Back in 2005, when I started producing the One Phat DJ Podcast, there were very few other DJs embracing the newly discovered broadcast channel. Many heavyweight DJs and producers weren’t entirely sure what it meant and how it would impact the music scene. It turned out though I wasn’t alone.

I noticed in the iTunes music podcast charts a few other DJs who were keen to jump on the bandwagon, one of whom was Paul Velocity. He was also keen to join the fun, delivering regular mixes to the growing audiences and share the love of house music. Paul and I have very similar tastes and backgrounds in house music so it was really interesting to learn from each other what was happening. We even recorded an interview many moons ago – if we can dig it out from the archives, we’ll be sure to share it here.

Fast forward 10 years and he’s kindly produced a classics mix of some sublime funky/disco/vocal house tracks for us all to enjoy. There are some stand-out tracks from the past 10 years we’ve both supported which are great to hear. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Make sure you follow Paul on Facebook, Twitter, Soundcloud and his own website.

Four weeks into the #ONEPHATDECADE celebrations and we have yet another fantastic guest mix for you, this time from our Dutch DJ/producer friend, Jay Santi.

I remember discovering one of Jay Santi’s cheeky bootlegs back in 2010 when David Dunne featured it on a the Triple Dee Radio Show. Since then, Jay has been producing some of the finest soulful and deep house tracks on the circuit and remixing some of the biggest names.

It’s an absolute honour to have him featured in our Summer series of guest mixes. His mix suitably defines his skills and style in house music and how well they align with our House Finesse sound.

Be sure to follow Jay’s productions on Facebook, Twitter and Soundcloud and check out his back catalogue available on Traxsource and iTunes.
