Disco, Edits and feel good House music. 

Shared with love and admiration. Mixed on vinyl.

After finding the rave scene in 1990, Lee bought his first set of decks a year or two later. Initially influenced by the music in the North West and clubs like Legends (Warrington), The Quad, Cream, The Hacienda he started his music collection and would play at parties, the odd bar gig and create mixtapes for friends.

Fast forward to the turn of the decade (and century!), now living in London, Lee was part of an underground party collective called Most Excellent, putting on parties at various South London venues such as Brockwell Park Lido and The Telegraph (Brixton), playing classic, funky and soulful house music playing alongside a few notable guests like Trevor Fung and Stuart Patterson. 

After a break of about 10 years to get married and start a family, he started listening to the likes of Fingerman, LNTG, The Reflex and was hooked on the underground edits and disco scene. The decks were dusted off and he started to buy music again…

Lee is now proud to be part of the #DiscoWaltons family, a DJ, Producer and music fan collective who frequent the chatrooms of some of the best music shows and livestreams available to humankind!

Wilson Frisk hails from Bradford, Yorkshire in the north of England. Like many other Dj's Wilson started his musical journey collecting music as a young teenager doing compilations for his friends.

Around 1995 Wilson became involved with a very successful club night called 'Spice' which was his first stint at Dj'ing playing Broken Beat, Acid Jazz, Hip Hop, Soul and jazz......Wilson has now firmly established himself in the House/Disco scene holding down residencies in Bradford, Leeds and Huddersfield and been involved with infamous club nights such as Back2Funky, Uno House, Our House, Afro Coalition, Way2Funky, Wallop, GYGO and The House Of Phunk.

 ..  Wilson is known for his smooth mixing style, taking you on a musical journey dipping in and out of all genres of House music but keeping it in his Jackin', Funky, Disco style that he's renowned for!
You can now catch Wilson on PCR (Peoples city radio) peoplescityradio.co.uk/ every other Wednsday night 6 til 8pm UK with his show 'HouseBound' which has been firmly running for 6 years now, playing all things House & Disco with regular guests.....Keep The Faith!

Hailing from East London, Paul Williams and Wayne Anderson - AKA Jagged Soul – are a unique duo, specialising in a fresh soulful sound. 
Both started mixing at an early age, going on to play all the top London clubs and bars. They soon joined forces to create Jagged Soul, culminating in long-term residencies at So Soulful and SS Radio.
Jagged Soul's unique blend of jazzy, soulful, jackin and funky House uplifts and inspires; these guys blend tunes regardless of music genre, era or popularity. Their quirky sets flux in energy and tempo, alternating between genres and generations of House like no other before them. 
These guys don't just play House, they feel it. Every original mix oozes passion and creativity, enveloping you in true melodic euphoria; inviting you to embark on their soulful journey.
If home is where the heart is, then House is where the Soul be! Come with a willing ear and an open heart…emerge with a Jagged Soul.

DJ since the early´s 80´s, I start DJing in bars (No Sense) then in Clubs (Resident DJ at Lux and KoolKat) and also hosting some Radio shows..
After 10 years, stopped mixing professionally. 
Influenced by the harmonic sound, beat and groove of Jazz, Soul, Funk and Disco music since very young.
Nowadays House Music is my preference but never forgetting that (old) sound that influenced all those new ones.

Funk & Disco tunes | Originals and edits. 
Groovy, hot and super spicy!
