Hey man, thanks a billion for uploading, what a treat! Any idea what he plays at 33:22 with the 303 bassline? Not sure if it sampled the Doctor Love vocals or he's just mixing it in. He plays it for a very short period only cause a minute later (at 34:20) he mixes in Robert Owens

Supermix the days back then we’re fantastic Brothers I’ll never forget it the music was everything and then some sly it

It would be rude not to. Really worked hard to meet my deadline this year to deliver you another Gospel mix for the holidays. When @captainrocklock reached out requesting one it was a wrap.
This goes out with love to all faiths and beliefs. Its a puzzle and all of us are a piece of it.
Its all about love, and be loved and help and be helped.
I wish you all wonderful holidays and a well deserved break.
We all have been through so much together over the last couple of years but the good news is, we are still here.
I hope my mixes help you to relax and smile and take everything a bit easier. ❤️

Nothing but love,

Marcel

GOSPEL MIXES

Marcel Vogel - Gospel Mix IV 23.12.2022

Robert was our friend, and we miss him. It's difficult to put into words just what he meant to us. He was a mentor, an inspiration. Canada’s, and more specifically Montreal’s, disco deity. We won’t burrow into his biography, as it is extensive, and footnotes would simply not do him justice. Check out the Red Bull Music Academy video interview if you want to start to journey into who he was for yourself. We made this mix just a few days after he died. It is a cathartic, vastly imperfect, and quick expedition into his music. It merely scratches the surface of who he was, musically.

We connected through a party we were playing for Pride Toronto, after we suggested that he replace the divine Nicky Siano on the bill, as Nicky had to back out at the last minute. After that party, we played together a handful of times, both in his native Montreal and in Toronto, but we really became close through afternoons spent in his home studio, sharing songs. He was more passionate about music than anyone we’d ever met. He was in his seventies, some forty years our senior, but was a big kid really, and when we were together we were contemporaries. We loved taking him out to dinner, which happened about once a month, and hearing stories of his Limelight disco days, or of his experience making house music in the nineties. Or speaking to what it was like to be a seventy-odd something still making music and djing parties. He was always working on something. Always. We were so proud to help get a few of his edits out to the world, through connections with GAMM, Basic Fingers, and Whiskey Disco. He had so much music to share, and was constantly clamouring for us to send him edits for his radio shows, a request we complied to, often and happily. 

When the world stopped with Covid, we were no longer able to make it to Montreal. We’d chat over the internet, or do video calls, but, in hindsight, we could and should have stayed better connected. When the news of his passing broke, over a stranger's shared Facebook post of all places, we were breathless and in disbelief. We called his phone, over and over again, putting our faith in the unreliability of social media, but he didn’t answer. Shortly after, a text came from his phone, from a friend of his, confirming the news. The hardest part was knowing that those dinners were over. No more advice and no more shared wisdom. The promise of another party to play together was to be left unfulfilled. We just hope that he knew how much we loved him and how important he was to us.

David Mancuso Live Pt.1 (Loft Party 2006)

One more from the vaults...not the best recording..I have a good few of Kenny Carpenter including some nice live ones from Japan that are more cleaner. This however is sweet, because it's Kenny how I remember hearing him...I only heard at Ministry of Sound back then and he was like many of the classic New York DJ's the real deal. A few things that spring to mind on hearing those guys back then is programming and presentation. Hot records or up and coming things they knew were hot and believed in. They would present it by playing for example..dub version followed by Instrumental and then the all important vocal mix. As the american jocks were used to playing long sets back home they were also granted extended sets at clubs like Ministry of Sound so they would play those records up to 3 times during their set...i remember a good few times hearing various DJ's like Kenny Carpenter, David Morales and Tony Humphries do this...you'd leave wanting that particular record only to pop into Black Market or Red Records..etc to be greeted by a smile and a..'yeah that's probably not gonna be out for a while' reply...

Anyways back to this mix...because it's Kenny and also reminded that 1992 was another great year for house music, many now certified classics in this radio show for WBLS...and a memorable one for me :)...enjoy !.
