Gravitational Attraction

After a three month break, I've finally managed to find a free hour or two to put together a new mix show.
This show was conceived about 2 months ago but I never actually got round to recording it. It starts off a little poppy from Armand Van Helden (with a twist) before delving into a blend of soulful and deeper grooves and finishing with some funk fuelled fun from Z Records at the very end.



Tracklist:

Armand Van Helden - Hear My Name (Sgt Slick's Borderline ReCut)
Risk Assessment - Love Attraction (Original Mix)
Michael Gray ft Sian-Lee - Gravity (Extended Mix)
DJ Funky T ft Lorry Hunter - Sweetest Of All (Gianni Junior Remix)

Peter Mac ft Earl W. Green - Distant Lovers (DJ Spen & Reelsoul Remix)
Foreal People - Tango Hustle (Dave Lee Latican Hustle)

Venus Rising

The journey starts in 2003 with a beauty from Blvd East with the late KT Brooks on vocals before jumping straight into 2026 for a few tracks from Lenny Fontana, Maysa & Michelle Shellers. Groove Junkies and Opolopo revisit their 2018 collaboration "We Rise" complete with exquisite vocals from Solara before the groove blends into a classic from Jasper Street Co with Frankie Knuckles on the remix. The second half gets underway with "The Mood" taken from Change's 2025 long player "Embrace" before delving into the heady days of 1989 to 1991 for four tried and tested gems from back in THE day.

Recommended Listening

Craig C ft Kim Dawson - Serious [Craig C Recordings]

As one half of The Pound Boys and more recently under his own steam, Craig C has been responsible for many dancefloor classics over the last couple of decades heading as far back as the late 90s. This particular release finds David Harness & Will "Reelsoul" Rodriguez remixing his label's second outing nine months on from its debut last October. On vocals, Kim Dawson puts in an outstanding shift covering the Donna Allen funk track of the same name from 1987. The transformation from that 80s style to a deeper soulful house groove could hardly be more stark and it works perfectly; the throbbing bass and moody synths creating the perfect vehicle for Kim's voice. Tasty to say the very least!
