*** Please drop a comment, re-share and like to help me reach as many of you as possible. Thank you in advance, I hope you enjoy the mix. ***

Saturday 25th of May I stood in a sunny field at The Church of Love were I played my last ever set at the amazing Shindig Festival.

This was recorded in one take before the weekend as practice so you guys could hear it how I played it. No post production, just one take. I tried to apply the mix of genres I love and am known for into one set. hip hop, mid tempo breaks, R&B, house, jackin house and breaks.

Thanks to the Shindig team for having me over the years and Father Funk for letting me play on his stage at the last one. 

I really hope you guys connect with the journey I took the crowd on and you enjoy listening back to what I played. Please consider following me at the below links and dropping me a comment if you're feeling it.

Leo NXT - 10th Shindig Church Of Love Mix

HOLDEN VX WAG — HOLY PLAN

by Brent James Schoning (Brent Schön AI)

Holy Plan is an album born from motion, memory, and imagination — a journey where steel, streets, and sound become symbols for persistence, creativity, and the refusal to give up on a dream. At its core, this project is not about a car, a place, or a title. It is about movement — the inner engine that keeps running even when the road feels hostile, blocked, or endless.

The Holden VX Wagon stands here as a powerful metaphor. A sleeper. Unassuming. Built to carry weight. Built to endure. It represents the quiet strength of continuing forward when expectations are low and circumstances are heavy. In Holy Plan, the wagon becomes a vessel — for ideas, memories, music, and visions of a better life. Not a promise of dominance, but a statement of survival.

Musically, the album moves fluidly across styles:
West Coast rap, G-funk, Aussie hip hop, pop, disco, EDM, deep house, electro, and ambient grooves blend together like city lights reflected on wet asphalt. Each track feels like another stretch of road — sometimes smooth, sometimes broken — but always leading somewhere meaningful. Beats roll like tyres on bitumen. Basslines hum like engines at idle. Melodies rise like sun over suburban streets.



This album also carries tenderness. Under the horsepower metaphors and street aesthetics is vulnerability — the quiet wish to be safe, seen, and allowed to build something beautiful. There is warmth here. Reflection. A sense of holding on through long nights and choosing to keep creating anyway.

Holy Plan is a soundtrack for anyone who feels like a sleeper themselves — underestimated, worn, but still running. It is for those who turn frustration into fuel and imagination into movement. It does not claim to rule the world. It claims the right to dream inside it.

This is not an ending.
It is a plan in motion.
An engine still warm.
A road still open.

Holy Road Dream (2) (1)

This mix is all about my love for two genres, Funk and Hip Hop. Here's a bunch of reworks, mashups of bootlegs from across this two treasure troves of samples, from vintage grooves to up-to-date acapellas.

If you dig it, let me know with a comment! :-)
