TRACKS & ARTIST INFO

ELECSOUL (Released weekly)

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.

If you’re listening in Bristol or nearby, it would be great to see you.
