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

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.
