No words, just pure soul. Sometimes the music says more without any lyrics. For this 227th episode, I’m stripping things back to focus on the pure musicianship. We’re chilling with a curated selection of jazzy soulful house instrumentals - think Rhodes pianos, live sax, flutes, trumpets, and the steady 122-125 BPM groove.

Whether you're winding down the day or need a sophisticated rhythm for the background, these twelve tracks (spanning 2000–2013) from the likes of Alankara, Kevin Yost, Micky More, and Mark Grant have you covered.

Press play, and let the instruments do the talking.

Familiar hooks, fresh beats. For this week’s episode, we’re exploring that beautiful friction between the '70s/'80s disco era and modern production. This is "Disco but Edits" — a deep dive into the world of disco re-edits and nu-disco reimagining.

I’ve put together a selection of tracks that pay homage to the legends (think Stephanie Mills, Whitney Houston, Chaka Khan, and Pino D'angio; don’t think Kiss and Technotronic, but they’re there, too) but through the lens of modern producers.

In this week’s episode: sweet classic soulful & vocal house, and 100% DJ Soulmate vibes. :) From 2003 to 2007, soulful house had a special kind of magic - piano-driven hooks, live percussion, and proper songs with full vocal arrangements. I’m playing some of my favorite gems from the era, including tracks from Richard Earnshaw, Jamie Lewis, Roberto De Carlo and Rasmus Faber.

Whether you remember these from the first time around, or you’re discovering this side of house for the first time, I hope this mix brings a little sunshine to your speakers.

After years of strictly soulful house, I'm exploring sounds that feel like the perfect natural evolution for Summer Fondue. So in this week's episode we're doing another fusion of Modern Funk, Nu-Boogie, and Nu-Disco with soulful edits.

We're traveling from the West Coast synth-funk of E. Live and B. Bravo to the chic disco-infused streets of Paris with Yuksek and L'Impératrice, while keeping our roots in place with George Benson and Róisín Murphy. It's soulful, it's groovy, and it's got that heavy 80s synth DNA with a fresh, sophisticated edge.

This is a journey that connects the soulful roots of Summer Fondue with the nu-disco sounds I’ve been obsessed with lately. We start off smooth and sophisticated with some deeper vibes honoring that classic soulful house spirit. As the session heats up, we move into the groove with some heavy-hitting funky house and disco reworks. And to close it out, I’ve put together a Paradisco finale that really captures where my head is at right now: retro-modern, funky, and full of life.

It’s a mix designed for that 'golden hour' transition - a pre-party before the night officially begins, or simply soundtracking a perfect late-afternoon lounge session.

This time, it’s all about that sophisticated swinging jazzy house sound. The selection leans heavily into its jazz roots: live brass, saxophone loops, snappy Rhodes pianos, and that unmistakable Parisian energy. It’s the groove that happens when house music meets jazz culture.

From the streets of Paris to the Miami heat, this is the sound of the jazzy underground.
