Another killer mix from Sam Tweaks ahead of his June appearance at Brentford Soul Allstars.

After he rocked the spot last year he quickly became one of our favourite DJ’s. He dropped one of the most amazing sets and sent the dance floor wild! Sam is a proper party rocker with the skills and records to pay the bills! His sets are full of funky fun and great records all delivered with rare humility and a cheeky grin.

This mix is no different, its got some well known bangers and some stuff you’ve never heard of all mixed together with finesse. We asked Sam to deliver a mix in a Brentford Soul Allstars style so you will hear soul, funk, disco and more. ENJOY!

As well as amazing live sets, Sam is a superstar on Twitch regularly spinning live with some of the best DJ’s in the world, you’ve got to check him out!
