Second City Sounds - Deep House Beats & Balearic Treats

It's eggcelence all the way - after a brief hiatus the smooth, silk-like charm of Dave Tomkins and the chiseled joy of the Northern Powerhouse Heath Tyldesley is back on Soul Roots Radio for an Easter chat - hosted by 'the other one' Andrew Medlock.

Three superb deep house mini-mixes from the three, all lovingly encased with nonsense chat and (this month only) egg-based banter - as well as a re-cap of the new Midnight Callers show from Heath and Dave, and a frightening look into the future of AI-powered radio...

New Year, New You, Same Us, Different Episode! If you made a NYE resolution to listen to even more lovely music in 2023, whilst tolerating nonsensical chat in-between, then this is the show for you. The trio from Second City talk resolutions, Ginger Beatnik laments new working regimes and no more naked Wednesdays, and there's a new job in there too..,

Be still my heart! The blue steel gaze and chiselled, husky smooth voices of Mr Beatnik and TV's Mr Smooth are back along with Soul Roots regular Andy M for another SCS mixtape. More beats and nonsense chat to while away the time, with the trio answering a fireworks-based listeners question, alongside new jobs and a deep appreciation of Paper Recordings.

The Tailor, The Raconteur and TV's Mr Smooth are back on the Radio to talk around the fire about all things autumn and The Beatnik's journey to Defected's Malta Party. Three smooth mixes also await, with a Party Started label focus on Maxi Discs, before DT took us to Chuggsville, a la Paul Simon, Jezebelle, Parkway Records and more, and then the GB went above 120bpm for a spacey spicy disco infused mix guaranteed to get the dancefloor tickled.

The Second City Trio are back together - and for the first time on Soul Roots - with some more deep and chilled house coupled with some irreverent chat for the September Mixtape. This month the trio talk about the hysteria that came with recent historic times, along with a readers question that took them all by surprise. And, of course, even in these turbulent times, the Beatnik has a new job...

The Tailor, Raconteur and TV"s Mr Smooth are back and bearing up in July's heat.  We heard about Dave's latest award revelation, alongside Mr GB's tips for staying cool in the sun, before we turned up the heat with some beautifully crisp deep house, chugging swagger, and a funk lined odyssey.   

More music and chat from the Tailor, the Raconteur, and TV's Mr Smooth. The theme for this month's episode was heat - warm air and warm sounds, as the chaps felt the heat and applied more on to the dance floor. A chuggy, 110bpm 80's rework set from Andy Medlock, followed by new cosmic disco sounds from Dave Tomkins, finished off by a set from Ginger Beatnik of loved treasures ably remixed by the likes of the Reflex, LNTG and more. 

We also found out the Beatnik's latest job, Mr Smooth's calendar Centrefold career, and confusion over cows and camels...

The Tailor, The Raconteur, TV's Mr Smooth. Back On ThamesFM once again for their May Podcast. A little bit of irreverent banter before some seriously nice music. This month saw Ginger Beatnik play out a superb LegoEdits set, full of funk and soul, whilst Dave Tomkins played out his Balearic homage to Mrs TV's Mr Smooth, featuring superb tracks from across the ages - perfect for every BBQ or Spring/Summer get-together. Along the way we learnt more about West Midlands' most award winning family, and - yes - The Beatnik has got another new job...
