Episode 73 sees me pull my regular trick of starting with mid-tempo groovers, slowing things right down, then picking the pace back up for some party grooves in the second half. No surprise that I kept things eclectic, with some 80s chug, soulful house, Brazilian & African-inspired grooves, smoky soul, hip hop and house… then ending with a little tribute to James Mtume who sadly passed away last week. 

My guest in hour 2 needs no introduction, but I’ll do one anyway. I'm incredibly excited to bring you a mix from London-based DJ and producer Adriel Leff, AKA Jet Boot Jack. Adriel’s become widely known for his high energy, uplifting party tunes, and he’s racked up literally millions of Soundcloud plays of his infectious edits and reworks. He’s a hugely talented producer with a big, distinctive, trademark sound. I’m sure you’re already aware of Adriel’s huge productions, and prepare to be blown away by an hour of full on Jet Boot Jack magic, packed full of exclusives and unreleased material. 

Massive thanks to Adriel for gracing my show with his awesome sounds. In the unlikely event you’re not already following Jet Boot Jack, get on it!

Disco, Edits and feel good House music. 

Shared with love and admiration. Mixed on vinyl.

After finding the rave scene in 1990, Lee bought his first set of decks a year or two later. Initially influenced by the music in the North West and clubs like Legends (Warrington), The Quad, Cream, The Hacienda he started his music collection and would play at parties, the odd bar gig and create mixtapes for friends.

Fast forward to the turn of the decade (and century!), now living in London, Lee was part of an underground party collective called Most Excellent, putting on parties at various South London venues such as Brockwell Park Lido and The Telegraph (Brixton), playing classic, funky and soulful house music playing alongside a few notable guests like Trevor Fung and Stuart Patterson. 

After a break of about 10 years to get married and start a family, he started listening to the likes of Fingerman, LNTG, The Reflex and was hooked on the underground edits and disco scene. The decks were dusted off and he started to buy music again…

Lee is now proud to be part of the #DiscoWaltons family, a DJ, Producer and music fan collective who frequent the chatrooms of some of the best music shows and livestreams available to humankind!
