In my opinion, hot sunny days should always be accompanied by some soulful house music. I was listening to this mix today, and its a perfect soundtrack for a day like today. Hope you enjoy it !

I have been hearing a lot about Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, one of my girlfriends keeps bragging about it. This weekend while in Starbucks, I noticed the album was there on sale. I did the impulse purchase thing and picked it up. I don’t remember the last time I bought music like that, just because my friend said it was good.  Anywho, got home put it in and fell in love with the sounds I was hearing.  I felt like I stepped into a time machine when I was listening to it, it reminds me of how amazing and raw soul music was. Just about great instruments, and a powerful voice.  Originally from Brooklyn, Sharon Jones & The Dap -Kings have been in the game for over 10 years and I am now finding out about them, this I believe is there 7th album.

I went to bed with this song playing, woke up with it playing. It’s so fitting for what I feel right now. I had to share, each and every lyric in this song depicts our story… By far my favorite song on her latest album. Read more…

Ok, so I must admit — this next mix isn’t exactly fresh off the press. In fact, this mixtape was created by a fellow DJ friend (who chose to remain nameless) back in ‘05.

I’ve been known to scour the online world for the latest and greatest mixtapes out there on a pretty consistent basis, and am also guilty of updating my mixtape playlist on my iPod weekly. However, despite this mixtape’s shelf life, I can assure you that this compilation is still one of my favourites.

 So, without further delay, please allow me to introduce the Soul Food Mix -a compilation of some of the best feel good soul tracks that will surely bring you some earcandy. Read more…
