23-03-09 Archive Mix: Set Fire To The Disco

Caught In A Moment

As we enter 2012 I took a reflective look back over some of the great music I have encountered this year from all genres, but in particular I was struck by a soulful vibe which seemed to fit the moment. Here is the result of that feeling – a rough n' ready, impulsive mix that had me digging around the crates to feed that need for soulful tunes in that moment. This is by no means a run-down of new soul tunes from 2011 – merely the result that came about after adopting a reflective state of mind. Enjoy... and a Happy New Year to you all! ... CC

Under The Influence: Ska

The first in an occasional series of mixes that aims to explore particular genres of music... first up – SKA! These are not all strictly ska tunes, but you will notice that familiar offbeat rhythm in most of them. Just drop me a line if you want to know what any of the tracks are. Enjoy... CC

Positive Reflections by Crafty C

Something to warm those cockles during this arctic breeze... tunes that lift you up and make you wanna smile... it's all about looking back at the year and remaining positive! It's beats with a soulful or jazz vibe running throughout and would probably work just as well in the heat of summer. Get stuck in, and as always... expect the unexpected!

House? Check. Disco? Check. Funk? Check. Soul? Check. This ones got a few twists and turns to keep you guessing, but keeps it upbeat throughout.
