The set rounds off nicely with a clutch of tunes primed for clubland exposure. The deep soul section features highlights from the ethereal Otis G. Johnson as well as a sublime sweet soul rarity from the Amazing Aires. Check out also the marvelously named Martha McSwine Williams. And for pt. 3 we launch into modern soul boogie territory with killers from Ronald Jerry & the Savoy stable.

The heavy gospel disco sound, reaching back to early 2013 and the first mix that launched several records into Europe and beyond. Finally uploaded onto Mixcloud....get a sip, right here! https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/keep-your-head-to-the-skygospel-disco-soul-funkvolume-one/ Here's a selection of gospel disco, soul & funk that were big cuts around Europe and in particular at the NYC Downlow stage @ Glastonbury Festival back in 2013. Tunes that sound huge in the club, designed to lift you up and literally take you higher. It showcases some of the huge records that have become a staple for certain club nights, and yet remains a future sound for others. There's no tracklist included with this mix.....enjoy it, guess what the artists are, interact with it. These are tracks that need to be heard, listened to and danced to on the most acute sound systems that clubland has to offer. Music that was designed to be euphoric....if you like what you hear, then please share it around. Thanks for listening!

Broadcasting live tomorrow, Wednesday 28th October.....please join us!
