Funk/ soul/ disco mixes

– DJ MIXES –

Live recording from my set at the Sound Shack night in Hanover, back in October this year. Turned out to be a deep session – my fellow @shush_dance brother @monksdreem brought his MPC300 (& more...) to twist up energies with a fierce live set, afterwards I spun some heavy hitters. Set split into two parts.

Thanks to everyone for vibing with us, and to our friends @sergiofrizzante (who also played some serious heat...) for the invitation.

Split into two parts for easy listening.

DJ and remixer—and New York City dance icon—John Morales drops an exclusive set for Wax Poetics that features his newly released Teddy Pendergrass remixes.

His new album, 'John Morales Presents Teddy Pendergrass – The Voice – Remixed With Philly Love,' is out now on BBE. Cop it!

Teddy Pendergrass: The John Morales Mixtape

Well we've kept you waiting, but we're proud to present our latest full length mix for your listening (and dancing) pleasure! We got together on a Saturday afternoon and picked through some of our favourite edits from the last year or so, as well as a few other classics for good measure and damn well mixed those slabs of vinyl for you! 

Hope you like it – feel free to post any comments above :-)

Evening, Wednesday, Black Rock City 2014. Led by Paavo and Tony of Above and Beyond, bathing in the lavender sunset, we practiced an hour of yoga with Elena Brower. We gathered, strengthened, listened and received the gift of quiet. We landed at home in our own hearts. This class reminds us that we are never alone, and that no matter where we are, we are on the path, and right at home.

My set from early Saturday morning at Dubstation. It was a beautiful experience soundtracking the sunrise and going through some deep & trippy selections – joined by my friends and a truly open-minded crowd.

Thank you to all the listeners & dancers for your presence, and the festival team for letting me bring my records out and play this very special stage.

The next instalment of my Golden Era Podcast series is here, Including an interview with Legendary British Funk act Cymande. These are Funk tracks from the 60's - 70's which are my personal favourites and inspired me to do what I do today. Funk is a style, genre a way of life that has been the biggest influence in my career. In this mix it takes in everything that I love about how Funk can be Latin, Jazz, Folk, Rock but if it's Funky then it can fit under that bracket !!

I made this as the Soundtrack to the Smile High Club art exhibition at Underdogs gallery in Lisbon. It's intended for gazing at smileys but works equally round a pool, on a beach or road trip in the sunshine....
