Ep 191: Feel Good Friday Show (Greg Middleton And Jesse Mathews)

@gregmiddleton was in the hot seat this week, kicking off the show with some lovely disco and house flavours, including red hot promo gear from maestro Michael Gray.

This week's special guest mixer is Jesse Mathews @jesse_mathews from Florida, USA, and he delivered a wonderful downtempo mix, packed full of gentle grooves to help you drift away into your own world for 60 minutes. In his own words... "I'm a music obsessed child of the 70's and 80's...having grown up in Central Florida riding skateboards and getting all my junior mischief maker badges...the one thing that remained constant was music. Combining wood and nails from junk piles at construction sites to build ramps to skate on as a kid, evolved into going out to concerts, parties and nightclubs. Hardcore and punk rock interests morphed into hip hop, reggae, breakbeat, electro, techno, disco and house music. I bought tons of music that I played on a belt driven turntable that used to belong to my parents. Eventually I was handed down a set of direct drive decks from a buddy upgrading his system. I bought myself a cheap mixer and I started making mixtapes for friends, road trips, chillin' at home, whatever the situation called for. Years later, I picked up Serato and began buying digital music. I started putting mixes on soundcloud over a dozen years ago and some of them received some nice feedback. Fast forward to today...I am still hooked on buying music that moves me and making mixes to send out to my friends. Sometimes I still get on the skateboard and try not to bust my ass."

Please give Jesse a follow @jesse_mathews
