thanks for including me in your set brother !!!!

Muzik & Rose in Tilburg Netherlands

Here's a mix I did in March of 2017 to highlight my new relationship w/ J.A.W. Family.

Welcome to J.A.W.

I have been recording mixes for 29 years & this might be one my favourite sets ever. 

It seems I've grown to love long emotive arches – within songs as well as in programming. And Songs Not Tracks lets me do just that.

I get to showcase a variety of beautiful dance music I've been obsessed with. I can let it unfold over multiple hours, as an open-to-close club set would: with "the patience of an opening set, the drama of peak time, and the tender emotionality of closing a night" (quote from DJ Voices, one of the best writers in the dj realm).

Selections cover 5 decades and include many of my fave new releases of 2024. Once again house is front & center, but as always, surrounded by adjacent vibes (ok ok, you don't really get a real house song until 45 minutes in or so 😎) 

We begin slow, but start building soon enough. Eventually we get to peak time drama... and close with tender emotionality.

Open your mind, tune in, enjoy! 🧡

Sadar Bahar & Lee Collins at Dekmantel Selectors 2018

We had the pleasure of Chicago legend and true master of their craft Sadar Bahar (Soul In The Hole / Sounds Familiar) joining us last November.

As a celebration of our three years of Soul Stew, Sounds Familiar and Sadar have agreed for the recording straight from decks to be released as part of our third birthday celebrations.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us for a dance over the past three years, thanks to all the DJ's who've come and tore the roof off at Soul Stew in that time, with special mentions to:

Mark Grusane
Volcov
Sadar Bahar
Charlie Bones
Alexander Nut
musicandlights
Pussy Foot
Adam Rogerson

Our fine city family we've played with:

Keith Slater
Anthropologist
Ronnie Orbit
Chris King
Thomas and Vialli
Parish
Comb
Mr Julian
World Running

A very special mention to Ornella and the Sounds Familiar family, some of the loveliest people in the game.

Thanks to our brothers and family members Paul Bryan and Chris Francis for their input to Soul Stew, their contribution will resonate within our parties forever.

Thank you Paul Bryan and Caterina Bianchini for the amazing artwork.

Thank you to all of the venues who've hosted us for the evening, within your walls we've had some very special memories.

Once again, thank you dancers, without you the past three years wouldn't be possible. Enjoy this incredible recording of a true disco beatdown.

Love,
Soul Stew
