Soulphiction Tribute Mix

A freestyle poolside selection which I put together for Bill Brewster a few weeks back. After hearing that, the fabulous Sancho boys got in touch and asked me to play a similarly vibed set for this weekend's Campo Sancho. x

Leftside Wobble - Momentary Synchronicity Part 1 (playing live this weekend at Campo Sancho)

Moodena’s success over the last four years has been nothing short of prodigious. His rise to the top of both the digital and vinyl charts has all the hallmarks of a classic overnight success story. However, like the majority of such stories, he has in fact earned his disco stripes the hard way, through years of non-stop effort having worked in the electronic music industry for over 25 years.

"I recorded the mix live on 2 CDJS2000nx2 and a DJR400 mixer.  For this mix I wanted to incorporate a few different styles of house that I love, house that has funk, soul, jazz or disco elements. There are some classics, some new bits and some favourites of mine that I used to play on vinyl. I tried to build some energy as the mix progresses but always retain funk and groove elements that I love to play and listen too. Much love for having me, hope you enjoy x"

Robert was our friend, and we miss him. It's difficult to put into words just what he meant to us. He was a mentor, an inspiration. Canada’s, and more specifically Montreal’s, disco deity. We won’t burrow into his biography, as it is extensive, and footnotes would simply not do him justice. Check out the Red Bull Music Academy video interview if you want to start to journey into who he was for yourself. We made this mix just a few days after he died. It is a cathartic, vastly imperfect, and quick expedition into his music. It merely scratches the surface of who he was, musically.

We connected through a party we were playing for Pride Toronto, after we suggested that he replace the divine Nicky Siano on the bill, as Nicky had to back out at the last minute. After that party, we played together a handful of times, both in his native Montreal and in Toronto, but we really became close through afternoons spent in his home studio, sharing songs. He was more passionate about music than anyone we’d ever met. He was in his seventies, some forty years our senior, but was a big kid really, and when we were together we were contemporaries. We loved taking him out to dinner, which happened about once a month, and hearing stories of his Limelight disco days, or of his experience making house music in the nineties. Or speaking to what it was like to be a seventy-odd something still making music and djing parties. He was always working on something. Always. We were so proud to help get a few of his edits out to the world, through connections with GAMM, Basic Fingers, and Whiskey Disco. He had so much music to share, and was constantly clamouring for us to send him edits for his radio shows, a request we complied to, often and happily. 

When the world stopped with Covid, we were no longer able to make it to Montreal. We’d chat over the internet, or do video calls, but, in hindsight, we could and should have stayed better connected. When the news of his passing broke, over a stranger's shared Facebook post of all places, we were breathless and in disbelief. We called his phone, over and over again, putting our faith in the unreliability of social media, but he didn’t answer. Shortly after, a text came from his phone, from a friend of his, confirming the news. The hardest part was knowing that those dinners were over. No more advice and no more shared wisdom. The promise of another party to play together was to be left unfulfilled. We just hope that he knew how much we loved him and how important he was to us.
