Back in the Old School

Je suis désolé de ne pouvoir vous suivre tous mes abonnés, soundcloud me dit que je ne peux suivre personne pour l'instant, dès que je le pourrais je vous suivrais.

I'm sorry I can not follow you all my subscribers, soundcloud tells me that I can not follow anybody for now, as soon as I can I'll follow you.

Me desculpe, eu não posso seguir todos os meus assinantes, soundcloud me diz que não posso seguir ninguém por enquanto, assim que eu puder eu vou segui-lo.

I've been absorbed in music since the early 80's listening to electro, soul, Chicago house etc. Discovered funk and disco in the early 90's when away at Uni and have spent the past 20 + years buying back into this amazing music genre. Don't get the time to play out much nowadays but I have DJ'ed at Funkademia in Manchester a few times over the past year or two which is always a top night and great place to play! The older I get the more I seem to appreciate not only the music I have collected, but all of the hidden gems I am discovering through edits posted on either Soundcloud or new releases from one of the many talented producers/ editors currently in the Disco Scene. Big fan of labels such as Disco Deviance, Editorial, Midnight Riot, Editors Kutz, Razor N Tape, Whiskey Disco, Chopshop, Hot Digits etc. In my mixes I try to blend the records as subtly as possible and be respectful to what has already been created.
