LET’S LOVE

Welcome to another episode of ElecSoul, where we celebrate the legends of Black electronic dance music. Today, we honour the "Godfather of House Music," Frankie Knuckles, on what would have been his 70th birthday. Through his music, collaborations, and legacy, Frankie transformed the dance music scene and gave birth to house music as we know it. Over the next 60 minutes, we’ll take a journey through his life, his artistry, and his enduring influence, playing iconic tracks along the way.

Frankie Knuckles was born Francis Nicholls on January 18, 1955, in the Bronx, New York. Growing up in the 1970s, he was inspired by the emerging disco and soul scenes. Frankie began his career as a DJ alongside his lifelong friend, Larry Levan, at the legendary Continental Baths in New York City. The pair’s seamless blending of disco, funk, soul, and European electronic records laid the foundation for what would later evolve into house music.

Then on 28th February, I’ll be playing at Heart 'N' Soul in Stroud—an evening of music, dancing, and good vibes, all in support of Sunflowers Suicide Support.

Two different nights, both full of great music and energy. Hope to see some of you there.

EVERYWHERE

In this episode, I sit down with RayJuss — a seasoned digger, DJ, and former pirate radio regular who now calls Cheltenham home. We talk about his journey through London’s underground music scenes, his time running the vinyl-only night Off The Record, and how his relationship with music continues to evolve.

Ray reflects on the unique rhythms that inspire him — from deep house and broken beat to UKG and beyond — and shares some powerful stories about the search for lost tracks, the thrill of finding long-forgotten gems, and the ongoing drive to keep the culture alive.

Topics we cover include:

- Growing up with pirate radio and cassette culture
- Rebuilding his music memory using old tapes and Shazam
- The joys and challenges of promoting your own night
- Making the leap from bedroom DJ to community builder
- The importance of reaching out, connecting, and sharing

IN CONVERSATION WITH DR.KEYS

New Mix: From the Storage Box series on instagram channel @djrobbieduncan

An all-vinyl session pulled straight from the archives — random, raw selections spanning 1989 to 1996.

Think: late-night journeys, low ceilings, red lights, bodies moving in sync. This one’s meant to evoke those unknown, unforgettable club moments.

No tracklist. No titles. Just sound, memory, energy. Let the music tell its own story.

90s GARAGE FROM THE STORAGE BOX MIX

ElecSoul #248 90s GARAGE ON THE RECORD

This episode I’m back on my vintage Vestax decks, playing straight from the collection. Just pure 12inch records, no fuss. It’s a 90s Garage session, full of raw drums, soulful vocals and bumping grooves that still feel fresh (apart from being worn and needing clean).

Dug out a few gems featured on my Instagram series I haven’t played fully in a while, including Keith Thompson, Jomanda and 95 North. There’s a splash of Acid Trax in the mix too, plus a couple of deep Marshall Jefferson and Joey T Vanelli cuts to round it out.

Hope you enjoy the sound of the session.

90s GARAGE ON THE RECORD

ELECSOUL #250 – REFLECTIONS (120 - 128 House and Techno) 80s - 90s + Extras

A look back at music that shaped my early years behind the decks. These aren’t obscure cuts, but tracks filled with atmosphere and personal emotion — the kind of tunes that bring joy, reflection, and timeless dance floor memories.

Along the way, I’ve included one or two contemporary tracks to keep the flow shifting and interesting, just as it would be in my ideal club.

I’m sure you’ll recognise the time and place you first heard many of these too.

Tracklist:
 Al Dobson Jr – Live At Makeover.  Aphrodisiac – Your Love.  Detroit Swindle, Mayer Hawthorne – 64 Ways A. Greenman – Discoethique . Arnold Jarvis – Take Some Time Out .

This one’s all about egress - stepping into new space and fresh sounds. Featuring artists I’m feeling right now, from deep house pioneers to modern jazz futurists and everything in between.
Lock in and let it flow.

On Youtube I've posted a short video montage to share my feelings and thoughts in this unusual time. Grateful for who I am, where I come from, and the family and friends I’m fortunate to have around me.

EGRESS

ELECSOUL - PAPER

This week I found myself drawn to two producers for very different reasons. Ron Carroll and Felipe Gordon. I’ve always felt deeply connected to their music, but as I listened back through their work, it hit me: they’ve actually collaborated a number of times before!

Felipe Gordon and Ron Carroll, both masters of soulful, groove-driven electronic music, have shared musical chemistry across releases like Gordon’s Hold On (Original Mix) featuring Carroll, and Carroll’s I’m Alive (Touch the Sky), which Felipe reworked in his own distinctive style. Gordon, a Colombian producer and DJ, brings a jazz-infused sensibility to house music, while Carroll a Chicago legend channels gospel roots, deep soul, and raw dancefloor energy.

I haven’t included their collaborations directly in this week’s mix. Instead, I’ve reflected on the influences and similarities that connect them. The emotion, the musicianship, and that unmistakable feeling of spirit in motion.

All my shows are recorded live to tape, with no editing. It’s never perfect, but that’s exactly how I like it. I’m grateful to have this platform to share my virtual residency on ElecSoul each week.

Thanks for taking the time to listen.

PAPER

ELECSOUL WARRIOR

This week’s ElecSoul carries the spirit of quiet strength. I caught this image of a spider building a huge web. Silent, patient, and focused. Every move deliberate. It knows the struggle’s real, but it still creates, knowing that what’s meant to come, will.

That energy runs through the mix — deep, soulful, and resilient. Each track spun with intent, another thread in the web.

WARRIOR

I’ve just recorded a full one hour vinyl mix featuring some of my favourite soulful and deep house tracks from 1993 through to 2024.

It was a real pleasure playing at Dialog Studios out in the beautiful Cotswold countryside such an incredible space. The team there are top-notch and can create virtually any look or vibe you’re after, whether you’re a band, solo artist, or a seasoned DJ like me.

Totally love the authentic nature of it all.  So glad I played records instead of CDJs, it would have been too polished sounding and seamless, and not at all organic.

So there you have it.

If you’ve got a love for meaningful 90s soulful songs and deep electronic grooves between 120–127 BPM, this one’s for you.
Enjoy!

ElecSoul – Light of Day

This curated playlist was born from a quiet moment and a view through our window overlooking Selsley, Rodborough & Stroud. The light was just right. I took a picture, converted it to black and white, and felt something shift.

Music can do that too. It reminds us we can create something meaningful and beautiful for ourselves, no matter what others think. That’s what ElecSoul is about.  A space to feel, imagine, and create.  These episodes are inspired by an image I have captured or a feeling I wish to share.

This week’s ElecSoul episode is shaped by belief, disruption and the deep layers of history I felt standing inside Córdoba’s cathedral mosque.
Summer 2024 I took a photo of that interior arches stretching in every direction, light drifting through a space that once held one of the most extraordinary mosques on earth, now containing a cathedral built right into its centre.

To understand that tension, you have to understand the disruption:
The original Great Mosque of Córdoba was created in the 8th century, during a period when the city was alive with learning, art, science, poetry and spiritual expression. When Christian forces took Córdoba in 1236, they consecrated the mosque as a cathedral. But the real rupture came in the 16th century, when a cathedral nave was built inside the mosque not out of architectural need, but symbolism. A statement of power, dominance and control.

Even King Charles V later regretted authorising it, saying they had destroyed “something unique in the world.”

That conflict beauty held inside disruption shaped how I approached this mix.

The first 20 minutes sit lower-tempo, a blend of live jazz, blues-inflected soul and reflective groove. Space to breathe. Space to absorb.

From there, I shift into electronica, rhythm, movement and finally return to my foundation: soulful house, the heartbeat that always carries me home.

The journey:
Brandee Younger — Breakfast with Adrianna
Carlos Niño & Friends — Calimayan (feat. Nate Morgan & Yaakov Levy)
Curtis Mayfield — Eddie You Should Know Better
Eric Burdon & War — Spill the Wine
Eugene McDaniels — Headless Hero
Om Unit — Back At Plastic (Mr. Beatnick Remix)
Hector Plimmer — Into The Dark
Werkha — Humour This
M-Scape — I Do (Original Mix)
Rick Lenoir — With You (The Dubstrumental)
Soul II Soul — A Dreams A Dream (Ron Trent Refix)
Terry Hunter, Lauren Eylise — M.I.A. (Terry Hunter Main Mix)
Bobby & Steve, Byron Stingily, DJ Pope — They Can’t Understand It (DJ Pope Organ Dub Remix)

BELIEF

This week’s episode is inspired by the street art we discovered around the city of Lille — especially the ingenious reworking of everyday road signs into imaginative, fantasy-like scenes. One image in particular stayed with me: a high-flying circus act soaring overhead, full of movement and playful energy. That sense of creativity and elevation set the tone for this musical journey.

I’ve curated a broad range of sounds this week, a gentle departure from the usual proceedings — hope you enjoy the ride.

Expect a night rooted in house, broken beat, jazz funk, samba, soul and rhythmic movement, with a Foundations of House Dance workshop opening the evening. Free entry all night and a beautiful space for music, movement and connection.
