Spring is in the air. Hope is in the air. If you live in Montreal, you know what I’m talking about.

The false promise of an early Spring is an illusion we all love or should I say need to hang on to.

With the nice light and warm weather outside, I decided to record this show in front of a “crowd” via my twitch channel. There’s definitely a different energy in sharing the experience on the moment with people all over the world. The result resembles a little more to a live club mix in a way.

So this is the part where I mention how much great music is coming out at the moment. Another new one from Felipe Gordon’s great album on Shall Not Fade, new Laroye on Local Talk, a few new ones on Heist (Fouk and Telessen remixed by Dam Swindle), Roman Fluegel’s latest one on Running Back, Deetron with the first release on Nu Groove in years, one of Franck Roger’s new album and of course Prins Thomas’s Remix of Ready In Led “Only Tonight” which has been in heavy rotation on my Session Maison weekly show on Twitch.

Big thanks to the MIMS crew for last week’s 24 Hours Of Vinyl. Had tons of fun. Sets should be up shortly.

All the best to all!

Here'z yet another tape of my brother Royce Cheongsheem. Royce was another very knowledgable person who schooled me on some of that deep NYC loft/Garage classics. He had an intense record collection... so much so that there has been times when I'd call him & he would say, I'll call you back later, David Mancuso is going through my records for this weeks party. WOW!!! That say's a lot!! 
David was very cool to let him play the opening hours while he mingled with his guest. I have hundreds of those tapes, so I will also share as much as possible.
Royce is another brother I lost a few yrs back. I miss our conversations. He was so funny!!! & yes, 1 proud & loud Diva <3
So with that being said, feel free to listen, download & share... I just ask that you would add my link 2 spread the love or just put you got this from Manny'z Tapez. I have seen a lot of heavy weight dj's using them but not letting any1 know where they got it from. I 4give you but please remember the next time. I'm doing this for my grandson Jayden. 
When I leave this world, I want him to learn from what I learned & follow my trail of muzik... As I alwayz thank the DJ'z who came in2 my life & supported all my radio showz... You know who you r ;-)

Other than that, Happy New Year's & let'z bring love & peace 2 this world... with the 1 who created it, our Lord Jesus Christ.

I Love You All!!

God Bless,

Slightly different from the usual mixes on this account but maybe you can connect the dots in some way..

I was asked to put this mix together from my DJ set at the Day Moves event that took place in Birmingham @ Spotlight this summer, these parties usually take place in London and sometimes various cities around Europe under the 'Night Moves' moniker. They put on some really cool interesting parties which has gained quite the reputation so it was good to be invited to play at their day party in the 2nd city...
Anyway the mix mainly comprises some of my fav rare groove joints and some recent bits I've discovered this year. 
I hope you enjoy it :) 

Day Moves - Soul/Funk/Rare Groove Mix

Kiss 94 fm – Norman Jay – 'Original Rare Groove' – JBs – July 1988

Well this recording came off the back of a really nice phone call I received earlier this year.. I first met Insa in early 2004, he had a show in Brighton and visited the gallery with from what I remember Anie, our shared acquaintance.. That year has turned out to be a very important year for Insa, wasn’t too bad for me either actually, but in 2004 Insa stated to paint his iconic heels.. 15 years ago.. geesuss that felt fast! So, the reason for the call, Insa Studios were making a film about 15 years of the heels and they wanted me to interview Insa on it and do a little voice over…Check me out! Insa’s all was lovely, we chat maybe yearly by bi yearly, a few coffees over the years, couple of business explorations and he’d been listening to the podcast and thought I was the guy for the job.. We agreed to him doing the podcast also and I got on a main line train outta St Pancras on a sunny Thursday morning down to the south coast to visit Insa at his studio and get these recordings done. 
What a space! Amazing, the first things I see are 2 Japanese custom vans, one of them a gorgeous mint green / teal like with a slight diamond dust filtering the colour ever so slightly. 
Then over to some old used, battered, paint splattered large wooden doors which open into his space, the perfect space, high celling, open plan with a couple of metal pillars holding the floor above. There’s a work bench, 2 paint racks, a boat, a water ski thing, paintings, signs, toys, books, sofas, a fridge, filled with Insa branded beer.. There’s an office set to the left of the space, it was an office, but the walls were covered with paintings, parts of installations, his Chris Offlie High heels, gundam robots, mad toys.. We went upstairs, where he stores most of his collection of pieces, one of each piece of clothing he has put out, shoes, trainers, heels, magazines, lighters! He collects lighters.. and finally, a photoshoot room.. it is an amazing space; one you dream of.. especially for a graffiti writer, it was a full museum telling Insa’s story all in one space.. and I was about to get the words to go along with it.. We go in with Insa, I wasn’t expecting this depth of conversation, but I shouldn’t have been surprised, standing in his studio, seeing all these achievements over the years.. of course, it was gonna be full on.. We start with his early years, family, where he grew up, school life, his interests in those early years and the run up to him moving to London. So much happened there from teaming up with some of South London s finest, iconic trackside paintings and his trip to HMP Brixton. Insa goes into depth about the experience, thoughts and his change of attitude during that spell and then how the following years panned out. We talk about his family life, adventures with his partner Ethel, being a dad, traveling the globe and setting world records and producing work in the most unlikely situations for the strangest of clients. It’s a long conversation, inspiring at many stages, rammed packed end to end with an amazing human story.. Big up Insa for having me over, a real privilege to chat to such an iconic artist, especially after all the years I’ve watched.. Go check him @insagram whilst you listen.. it’s a great one.. and its his Birthday! go holla!
