c2eMusic Soulful Deep House

This is the audio recording of the live Facebook stream from HouseNation. Live on 4th June. It was an impromptu Subliminal Records set. We both decided to play three tracks each back to back. We played across three of the Subliminal sub labels - including Bambossa and Sondos. We ha d agreat laugh as it's rare to get to play vinyl these days and so it was a real trip down memory lane in more ways t...

This was the first and as it turned out only mix done in March. It happened right at the start of the month and was going to be a promo for a later March podcast. However several things happened during March that scuppered any best laid plans. Firstly we sold our house so everything was boxed up for the removalists. Once in the new house our ISP took four weeks to get us up and running. In the mid...

This months marks 10 years on Podomatic! Could never have imagined I'd still be doing this when I first started posting mixes all that time ago. Huge thank you to everyone that has supported me over those 10 years. I still remember being blown away when the first people out there started to get in touch to say how much they loved the mixes. I am so proud of the global family that has grown with a...

This November podcast was unexpected. It's a recording of the Pressure Radio show from 9th November. I had bought a handful of new tunes that evening causing the show to start 30 minutes late, but it was worth it as it turned out. It's a chunkier start than I expected - none of this was planned and I didn't really know what the new tracks sounded like beyond the clips you hear on Traxsource. Towar...

Had this mix ready for a few weeks but have been very busy so no time to publish. The mix shares a few tracks with the "Midwinter Madness" mix but contains a handful of newer tracks. Opens with a killer classic from 1992 - TC 1992 with "The Funk Is Back". I have had to take the music room down as I'm selling the house so struggling to find time at the moment, however there are still some radio sho...

As the title suggests this is all things '08.  The mix was recorded on Pressure Radio on September 21st 2017.  I did a "Best Of 2008" mix in.....2008, but that was through the ears of my mate Burnsie who was big on his Yass and Spen at the time.  I had my own favourites but never got round to recording it, so here we are.  The mix starts off deep and stays there for a while.  Marc Evans introduces...

This mix makes it into the Munted series mainly because of the feedback during the show. I'd bought a dozen new tunes that day and was weaving them in. The flow worked really well and some of the tracks are class. You'll recognise some of them from the August podcast. Mix ends with another nod of appreciation for Lay-Far's excellent set on the Local Talk boat party at Suncebeat 8. Two of his last...

Finally made the decision to finally get over to Europe for one of the big music festivals. This time is was the turn of Suncebeat 8 in Croatia. Having been a long time Southport Weekend regular while still living in the UK I knew the music and the people would be worth it. The location is stunning and the main difference I found from SPW was the diversity of the crowd. Just in the taxi from the a...

This mix has been sitting on the shelf all month. It was mixed on the 1st June and for one reason or another it's taken 25 days to release. That said I was overseas for one week, but it's still leaves room for improvement. This month we are dominated by Re-Tide from Rome and the Cut Records they frequently release on. If you aren't familiar with their sound you will be by the end of the mix. I'm n...

Another throwback mix that's on my playlist and gets a decent airing. Mixed in June 2017, but comprised of tracks from 2011. This mix tips it's hat the deeper chunkier sound and there were some absolute scorchers six years ago. Don't be put off that it's not full of the latest tracks, there are future classics in here and as the old saying goes - don't knock it till you've tried it. Tracklisting:...

This mix was rescued from the flames of last weeks show. The gremlins attacked a couple of times, second being a big 10 minute bite out of the show. That killed the recording, so we only have just under 90 minutes. The show was a throwback to ten years ago, which sounds like a long time, but then when you say 2007 strangely it doesn't. I remember the tracks and what I was doing back when I first s...

This is a recording of the live radio show on Pressure Radio from Thursday 13th April and what a show it was too. I was still downloading tunes when it was supposed to start and then my machine crashed!! So we were 40 minutes late getting going. However once the wheels were rolling there was no stopping us. It was really busy on the outside all the way through the show which was great - thanks to...

This mix was done at the end of Feb this year to celebrate my fifth anniversary on Pressure Radio. It's a crazy thought, I mean I can genuinely see the me hitting play on the first track like it was yesterday. Frank Ainsworth one of the residents was in the chatroom to make sure it went off without any issues. I was so excited to play, I had so many ideas and so many great tracks I wanted to share...

Just as my belief in the quality of tunes was starting to wain along came a set of beauties to put me straight again. I love the diversity and build up in this mix and there are some real crackers along the way. The first couple of tracks are deep, but in a warm n fuzzy way. We then switch into a burst of fun loving twisted electronic phunk. This style is so refreshing and I love being able to add...

This mix was recorded on Pressure Radio on 4th Feb and was a remake of an original concept from about a year ago. It only features tracks released on the legendary Soulfuric label, including it’s sister labels – Trax and Deep. The original version was a mix of vinyl and digital, whereas this mix is digital only meaning some of the older tracks are absent. It’s probably a 50/50 split between the so...

This marks the 200th release here on Podomatic. To celebrate we have a special mix that was recorded live on Pressure Radio in February 2017. Continuing the legends series we head stateside for a producer whose sound has given the scene a real mature smooth vibe over the years, both as part of the legendary Blaze duo, and more recently as a solo producer. It is of course Josh Milan who I was lucky...

This is the first new release in months, September was the last one. It's the longest I've gone between new releases since the dawn of time! It's not like I haven't been playing. The c2eMusic Radio Show has been running every Thursday with the exception of the Christmas chaos break. Some of those mixes have made it out, more are waiting in the wings. On top of that there is the new residency in Sy...

This is the second mix in the Underground Jack RAW series. It was recorded live on Pressure Radio on Jan 12th, the night before the live event at Tatler in Sydney. It captures the vibe on the night perfectly and is a great advert for what your ears can expect to hear and the beat that will move your feet. The radio show itself was pretty intense too. The chatroom was busy with rare appearances fro...

This is an all vinyl special recorded live on Pressure Radio on 10th November. It was a late start to the show as I had no idea what to play. After a quick flick I came across the old Defected collection. The challenge was on, could I do a whole show.................you bet! Was joined by Big Pete my mate from home for the second half of the mix. He was bouncing around the chatroom to the tunes en...

This is a special promo mix done on Pressure Radio on 17th November for the Underground Jack event held in Sydney the following Friday 18th called "Raw". It marks the start of a new chapter with an upcoming residency from January at Sydney's legendary Tatler's in Darlinghurst. It's a seamless flow across the sounds of the last 15 years in both digital and vinyl form. A fair few of the tracks were...

A mix that has evolved through the course of the month. We can think of it as 4/4/4. Four beats in a bar of four distinct styles, first one being that deep warm sound that gets us warmed up for what's to come. Second is the vocals into disco. Third is booty shakin' bouncing rumbling tunes topped off with chunky Chicago style house. Special call out to Demarkus Lewis and Soledrifter who went toe to...

Please hit the favourite button on the Podomatic player to help me win a Broadcast account for life. It will allow me to host all of my 200 mixes in one place making it easier for you to enjoy. Big thank you for your support.   This mix is a great advert for the diverse sound that house music has mutated into over the last 25+ years. That's helped with more than a few remixes, samples and original...

Adding another DJ to the c2eMusic hall of fame.  Plenty of energy with this one as we head over to Baltimore to pay homage to Sean Spenser better known to you and me as DJ Spen. Whether it’s the Jasper Street Co., Muthafunkaz, Deepah Ones, or just plain DJ Spen the results are the same. Take it to church pumpin’ rich chunky soulful house music. He first crafted his trade at Basement Boys Records b...

It was a case of third time lucky with this mix.  Bought half of the tracks at the start of the month and enjoyed the mix but didn't have enough for two hours.  Tried again mid month but didn't like the flow.  Finally I bought some more new tracks at the end of the month and mixed this on the fly on my Pressure Radio show.  Much happier with the result. Some big tracks in here, highlights for me "...

Well that was a very long unplanned break between releases. Combination of a few things, slow buying new music in April and May, an increase in crate diggin’ session on Pressure and then a three week trip to the U.S. Anyway all that’s behind us now and to make up for it we have a real cracker of a mix. Bigger and chunkier right from the start with so many unreleased I was able to keep a good level...
