Currently 9th on the 1970s chart. Check it out!

This week it's entirely 70's as I've not done one for a while, and in the build up "Compared To What?", having in recent weeks popped some jazzy vibes into the end of some of the mixes, it seems apposite to assemble a set of 70s tunes. "Compared To What" will begin @ The Sir Richard Steele in Chalk....

In the UK at least, it’s a long bank holiday weekend, so let’s not rush into it. With that in mind, this one starts slow, but builds up; it also comes in at just over 30 mins as the songs are a little longer, but I’ve maintained since I began 10 songs or 30 mins at least and with that in mind,...

Friday comes with the sun and this week some sounds from the 1970s. Harmonies and horns, soulful strings and vital vibes to kick off the weekend!!

Welcome to the latest Short Soul Session, with a decidedly 70s summer feel to it. As always all original vinyl from my collection, and if today is the only day of summer we get it will have been a pleasure to share it with you. As always thanks for your listens, likes comments and shares.

It's Friday, time to kick back and dance!!

Definitely a more 70s flavoured week this week with a nod to Crossover, probably more akin to the sounds I was playing at Soul Giant, starting fairly mellowly, and then giving that kitchen floor a good pounding. Another 30 (and a bit) minutes to help you find your weekend groove; this week Thursday....

The return of the Short Soul Sessions brings with it a more dancefloor affair. 30 mins of floor pleasers (I hope), mixing oldies with hopefully some less well known tracks. With the weekend literally just hours away, let's get to it!! Thanks once again, for your listens, likes and shares. I hope you...

After a brief sojourn, the Short Soul Sessions make a slight return, with this the penultimate one pre Christmas. A mixed bag of mid-tempo movers and groovers to salve your soul; the usual expectations should be satisfied, a few girls, a few boys, some vocal groups and a soulful noise.

If you like what you've heard over the past few sessions, I shall be spinning a few mid/down tempo tunes at the January Color One Tear Black at the Paradise in Kensal Rise W10, on Sunday 14th from 4pm until 10pm (or later)

So, my friend asked me, will you do another downtempo heartbreakers set; why not? I thought. And in thinking about it, I got to thinking how when we were young, we always wanted to love and be loved like they do in the songs. Little did we know how many songs reflect melancholy, heartbreak, loves un...

This week we're going for something with a generally grittier edge to it, just because we can really. As always, records from my own shelves, selected to keep your feet moving, or at least to prevent you sitting still in your working afternoon, as we head into what is looking like a very lovely weekend. I don't get to play some of these out too often, but I love the tension in some of them and how they really "cook".

Welcome back to the fourth Short Soul Session. This time out something completely different, all new soul sounds by artists recording now or in the last few years at least. Hopefully a selection that won't break the bank. There's some great artists out there so don't regret missing them like you may...

Here we go again!!

Second Short Soul Session. Once again, all female vocals, but a little more variety in the tempo. I was just browsing my record box and thinking, good grief, that's a lot of Barbaras, and then this popped into my head, like it would (those who know me will tell you my favourite destination is Seville).

Thank you to you all who listened to the last mix.

Ease into your weekend with the Barbaras of Soulsvilla!!

Thirty minutes to ease your way into the weekend.

Something for the small hours of the evening or the middle of the afternoon; certainly something to start the weekend with. Enjoy!
