Dear Connecting Souls friends!

It's been 8 years since I started my radio show Connecting Souls. And Friday September 6 was the 100th broadcast of Connecting Souls on Proton Radio. What a beautiful journey it has brought me and you. I have endured highs and lows, but my love and passion for music kept me going. I can proudly say that Connecting Souls is the show with the most number 1 rankings in the Proton Radio Top 100. Without your great support, I would never have succeeded. Thank you so much! Of course, thanks to all my guests in all those years for your beautiful guest mixes! You really helped me grow. Thanks to all the producers and record labels from whom I receive their music and could play! And a big thank you to Proton Radio for all the love! 🙏❤

Much love, Clay ❤

Connecting Souls 100 on Proton Radio

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL WITH MUSIC  JUST FEEL THE VIBES !!  AND THANKS TO ALL THOSE GREAT DJ FROM ALL AROUND THE WORLD !! UN GRAND MERCI POUR VOS MAGNIFIQUES MONTAGE MUSICAL ! A VOTRE SANTÉ !! CHEERS !! ALLA TUA SALUTE !! 😎💖💖💖🎶🎶🕺💃💥💥🔥🔥🥂

Inspired by the first mixing programs on the Dutch radio, Clement van Dijk started mixing in the early 80’s. Being the music obsessive that he is, it didn’t take him very long to find a local club (Display) to showcase his skills. After doing so for a couple of years the promoters of Arnhems hottest dance club; Luxor, offered him a monthly residency on the Stargate party's. This gave Clay the opportunity to play alongside almost every well-known deejay in Holland, and in countries like, Hungary, Mexico, Germany, England, Greece and others... 

This quietly-spoken DJ from Amsterdam has always understood what made people dance, but never compromised his vision of what good music should be like. By continuously following his favorite waxmasters, like John Digweed, Sasha, Nick Warren and Hernan Cattaneo, he developed his love for progressive house music. And now as a big fan of producers like, Guy J, Alex O'Rion, Marcelo Vasami, Matias Chilano, Matter, GMJ and many more....

His style reaches from proggy house with some of the most beautiful strings and vocals you are likely to hear unto deep and dark progressive. He combines deep house, progressive and melodic techno into a hypnotic and intense DJ set. His specialty is creating an atmosphere wherein the audience will be taken to a different musical level. He will take you on a rare, extraordinary and psychedelic musical trip in to the deep space of the progressive underground.

Every first Friday of the month Clay has his radio show Connecting Souls on Proton Radio. Let this joyful Deejay connect your souls on the dance floor with his magical mix of progressive house, deep house and melodic techno music. Now in these days you can find him as a resident in the best underground club in Amsterdam, The Recycle Lounge Gallery Club, and in the famous hotspot Club NL. Here he is the organizer of the party's 'Connecting Souls' and 'HUG' that stands for Holland Under Ground. So if you’re in the mood for a party, let Clay take you on his musical journey...

Love, Beats and Progressive!

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.

The " red house " of :
Welsh Artist Anthony Richards
Here I am on Soundcloud 9
perched in Ammanford.
A small post industrial town in South Wales
the undisputed home of the underground
there used to be more coal mines here
than you could shake a stick at, before
they were all shut down.
Truly well deeply deeper underground.
A Massive thank you to all the music makers,
 music lovers, the whole world over.
Loving all of your divine music.
At the house of dancing paintbrushes.
If I am not here, then I might well
also be here, when I am not here....

Or I might also be here of course. If I am neither here nor there...

No, of course I am not nuts..
But, my dear old passed dad. Often asked of me. With a quizzingly confused, expression upon his face.. " Are you some kind of a bloody loony ? " I never gave his quizzing a definitive answer, it was more fun to keep him guessing.
