Mix of the Week #591: Universal Cave - Soft Rock For Hard Times Vol. 9

Not done one of these in a while, having recently stepped away from my residency in Edinburgh. Felt right to record one more before taking a breather and shifting focus.

On the hottest day of the year in the UK so far, here’s a mix of sun-drenched beauties to soundtrack it.

Catch you on the other side x

"Deon Jamar is a Detroit native whose roots stem from the crates of family.

Coming from a household where his father was a DJ, turntables and records were always around. 

It was in his discovery of Detroit's underground where he found the inspiration to follow in his father's footsteps.

 

Deon’s DJ career began in 2015 as resident DJ & organizer for the monthly hip-hop showcase "Bluecollar Gentleman". 

During this time he would also begin working with Theo Parrish to promote the Music Gallery party series and also working behind the scenes for the Sound Signature record label. This work would culminate in a co-curation role for the DJ Kicks compilation “Detroit Forward” (K7 Records) where he enlisted hometown artists to represent the progressive sounds of today. His track, 

"North End Funk", was selected to join the mix, making his production credit debut..


Aside from just playing gigs, Deon also enjoys programming events of his own such as the "Healin' Session" party series and the music and art exhibition, "Black Music".


Black Music has since evolved into the home for Deon's original productions. 

Launching the label with his debut album, “Altars”."

Episode 75 w/ Deon Jamar

Music From The Soul 005 - Marcia Carr

Pulling from the archives this week: this snippet was taken from Communion in Minneapolis on 7/6/25 warming up the patio for WWW & Christian James. This was ~30 days after me snapping my collar bone in Chicago. I was originally supposed to spin alongside fellow excavator Jeffrey but the timing didn't work out so I took it solo... and kept it even after I was down an arm. Happy with how it transpired all things considered. I probably could've stuck to the USB but I mean, what fun would that've been? ;)
