Not for everyone on here, but what the hell!

Easter sees me with rare spare time on my hands, so I finally get chance to do this..............

Enjoy!

Excellent mix, really enjoyed this. Good to be reminded of Ron Trent especially, but plenty more to work on ...

Added a new mix for those interested..............

 

 

Cheers,

Another good 2 hours here - especially liked the Joey Negro and Jose Carretas tracks, and Kashif at the end was a nice touch. Looking forward to the new Joey Negro album now!

Thanks for the feedback.  Interesting you say Kashif because it's actually Ron Trent but it is so obviously based on "The Mood" from his debut LP.

Well I know you're a big Kashif fan and who knows what sort of mixes you've been able to get your hands on compared to us lesser punters 

As for Ron Trent, it was thanks to your previous mix here that I've been digging through his catalogue - the recent double cd retrospective comp of Prescription Records was well worth the pennies

I missed the 6LP box set first time out so grabbed it a week or two back when they pressed some more up.  A second press eh, that'll never do!  LOL

Anyway, the track we were discussing..........

Hey, you started it! But feel free to continue with tunes like that 

I first discovered Ron Trent years ago when I was looking for a copy of Freeez "Keep in touch" on cd - at the time the only place to find it was on a Ron Trent mix cd which I duly bagged, and the rest is history.

I'm not sure on your tastes..........do you like the real deep side?  Another of my faves...........gets right in the grey matter.........

I like a lot of deep and enjoyed what you've posted so far. Recently I've been catching up on stuff by Grant Nelson, Kenny Summit, Kenny Carpenter, DJ Man-X, as well as Louie Vega, DJ Spen, Ron Trent, Ralf Gum, Vick Lavender, Jonny Montana, ...

I love the instrumental of this, but the vocal works for me too, as in burrowing into the grey matter:

And this is pretty good too:

Interesting you should select those.........I don't go a bundle on the Afro stuff in truth, and Ngawe happens to be one of the few I've bothered with, though I think I went for a slightly different mix.  Love it, though it always made me think that the odd Afro thing I like seems to actually be UK produced or influenced.......not by intention but it does seem to be a common theme, or did at the time.

As for Vick, if you know me at all you will know that I have a lot of time for VL.........it was us that got him over for his first UK set at our now defunkt Soul Purpose night, or more accuratley it was a joint Soul Purpose/Surgery event with the good Dr. Bob Jones on board too (and of course Mr. Curtis amongst the guest DJ's).  I'll send you a link to some other Vick stuff instead of keep posting here.  But I think the third cut on the first of my mixes posted here is a recent thing by VL "Universal Laws".

There are advantages to spending a Sunday snowbound!  ;-)

Been forgetting to put these up here......few to catch up on, with Vol. 4 being a different style...........

 

Cheers,

Volume 5 from Christmas 2018......and a brief look back at some faves from 2018......I should have done a second part to this!

 

Cheers,

Mark R

And bang fresh from last night..........quite why I picked the hottest night of the year so far to do this is anyones guess!  Quite a bit of deep house on here, interspersed with some current vocal fave new releases.
