  1. Announcing pt. One of this years club & radio UK tour dates. From Eastbourne to Aberdeen, London to Bristol, I'll be visiting all 4 major points of the UK compass, stacked with a box of soul music you might not have heard before. Come on out or tune in to one of the radio shows from the comfort of your own listening device. I'll be seeing you in a few!
  2. Here's the mixcloud archive for the Divine Chord Gospel Show #150. A two hour feature focus on the works of Divine Who & Divine Situation bringing you that Divine Disco Gospel Sound. Dive in, hit up bandcamp, traxsource and all good leading physical and online retailers to secure your copies of the music played in this show. Cheers!
  3. The Divine Chord Gospel Show reaches show #150, and we're pretty proud of the fact that we're bringing soul music to your ears that you might not have heard before. Since its inception in 2011, we've dug deep sourcing over 4,000 tunes and bringing many of them to the airwaves for the first time, shining a light on tracks that were in danger of being lost in the ether. Many tunes of gone on to crossover into club territory as soul music fans have dipped their collective toes into the Gospel world and bought into the sound that's like no other. For Show #150, we're celebrating the catalogs of Divine Situation and Divine Who...a non-stop dance party session, sampling reworks and edits created with love, designed to bring the sound to a brand new audience. Take a dive into two hours of spiritualized soul, the sound of Divine Disco. Uplifting the dancefloor, if you will. As always, thanks so much to our amazing hosts dublab.com for giving us the platform to spread the message. It just feels like we're getting started.

  6. When Alex found the original batch, he first contacted me to get my opinion of the tune and the discovery. He was living in Bakersfield at the time, and I was a coupla hours drive away in LA. It's unique sound made it tough to categorize back then, but I traded for a copy with him before any of the stack went to ebay. I think the first winner was Ian Wright, and he was the guy that almost certainly broke it. The small clutch of folks in the UK 'Deep Funk Scene' hoovered up the rest, meaning almost all of the discovered batch flew across the Atlantic, leaving the lone (known at the time) copy in the US with me. Since then, one or two more have been discovered but not much else. One of the later unearthed copies, came from the back room of a store, again in Bakersfield...I think James Pogson was responsible for that one. This is Alex's youtube post, from 5th March 2010, for dating purposes.

  14. The final show of 2023 is upon us and what better way to round out the year, than with a proper Gospel Funk blowout. Joining your host Greg Belson for this spiritualized hoedown, is one of Sin City's favorite funky sons. Packin' the crates deep with the funkified fire, please welcome Santa's lil' helper; HEAVY STEPPIN' (Las Vegas, Nevada) Heavy Steppin' aka Bailey Hicks is a digger supreme of tunes that drive that bit harder, faster, dirtier than most. He's a grade A drummer by trade and that mindset carries over to his taste in music. Find him DJ'ing live most weekends at the Velveteen Rabbit in the LV, but today, he's slangin' the Gospel heat right here to your listening device. Expect heaviness from around the US and beyond as well as some hard hitters scavenged from his home town. Taking control of the first hour is your host, who will be playing the cream of the crop from all of the previous broadcasts that went out live on dublab in 2023. That's right...the top o'the heapers, the cats pyjamas, the first time heaters...yup, if you missed out on any shows this year, then this is the one stop shop to check out all the primo fire that was discovered throughout 2023. Join us on Saturday 23rd December on dublab.com @ 10am US PST (6pm UK GMT) for a festive dose of the holy ghost.
  15. Hello! I'm looking to buy any LP's you might have from the 1959 thru 1969 era, that contain specifically the iconography of the artist & cover painter HARVEY. All of his work can be found on the Savoy, Regent, Gospel & Sharp labels. All conditions are considered, including taped seams, label stamps, graffiti etc, all the way up to sealed stock copies. Vinyl condition is not important. Attached are some examples of his work....I'm interested in any title you may have, not just those included in the photo. Please PM if you can help. Thanks for your time!
