One More Time - Episode 2

What I was feeling one day in May as I flicked through my new purchases and old favourites - a journey from soulful house through disco and nudisco to funky house. Full tracklist: https://djmartingale.com/tracklistings/#24052025

Studio Mix - Soulful, Disco and Funky House - 24th May 2025

For the second weekend in a row I just let rip with what felt good, and today that was the sound I fell in love with thirty odd years ago, the original garage house sound as I first discovered. 

Absolutely loved making it, you can find the full playlist at: https://djmartingale.com/tracklistings/#31052025

Studio Mix - US Garage Classics - 31st May 2025

Another enjoyable morning in the music room where I've been sinking into some soul-flavoured house goodness. It's my usual mix of one or two classics mixed up with some fresh tunes that have been waiting on my pile for attention. 

For the full playlist, go to https://djmartingale.com/tracklistings/#21062025

Studio Mix - Soulful, Disco and Funky House - 21st June 2025

Back in the studio with another soulful blend on a gloomy but hot and sticky day on the South Coast. As usual a progression from something deeper to something bigger, all with some kind of funk or soul element to it. Revisited a play or two from shows of yesteryear as well. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. 

Full tracklist: https://djmartingale.com/tracklistings/#05072025

Studio Mix - Soulful, Disco and Funky House - 5th July 2025

In all the heat I was feeling something a bit deeper so put together this selection of deep, nudisco and jackin house tracks but mostly with a deep feel to them. Still amazed how good Frankie Knuckles "Rain" still sounds now, plus found it hard to keep my feet still when a newer track by Cassette Moderne went in. Enjoy it anyway!

Full tracklist: https://djmartingale.com/tracklistings/#130725

Studio Mix - Something Deeper - 13th July 2025

This week I'm feeling more on the soulful side, starting out nice a mellow with some latin-style beats, moving through some contemporary and classic soulful house into something funky to finish up with.

Full tracklist: https://djmartingale.com/tracklistings/#270725

Studio Mix - Soulful House - 27th July 2025

When I put these together it usually starts with me being triggered by a single track and working outwards from there. This time it was Harry “Choo Choo” Romero’s classic “Tania” from 2001, so edging out sideways from there I took in some disco, jackin’ and funky house, both past and present. Always room for a few classics too, so listen out for those.

Full tracklisting: djmartingale.com/tracklistings#090825

Studio Mix – Disco, Jackin’ and Funky House – 9th August 2025

The first three or so hours of my live gig at Rita's in Southampton, for a new night of classic-flavoured house music.

Martin Gale - Where Love Lives @ Rita's Southampton 11th October 2025

The first couple of hours or so of my gig at Rita's Southampton, where I blended up a mix of latin house, deep house, US garage house and even some disco house for good measure 👌🏻

One for all you Cafe Mambo, Hed Kandi and Glitterbox lovers 😎💃🏻

Martin Gale - Where Love Lives - Live at Rita's - 15th November 2025

The first couple of hours or so of my last gig of 2025 at Rita's in Southampton - the usual blend of feelgood cocktail-hour tunes.

The recording here actually comes from three different bits of kit in the end as we had to have a kit switchover and a small three track section got lost so I recreated it at home so it flows. Nothing else has been retouched as per usual.

I hope you enjoy it anyway 🙏🏻

Martin Gale - Where Love Lives - Live at Rita's - 13th December 2025

A collection of what I’ve made over the years — and what I’m moved to make now 🎧

Radio shows, interviews, podcast episodes, live recordings — whatever feels right, when it feels right. Mostly soul-flavoured house, but not always.

This is less a format, more a portfolio — a space to share what I love, when I’ve got something to say or play 😊

Thanks for sticking with me, however you found your way here.
