LOVE-SOUL-IBIZA WEEKENDER SOUL MIX MIXED BY LEE JEFFRIES

ABOUT LEE
Lee Jeffries is a child of the 80's, so for those of you who are not yet familiar with him you would be forgiven for assuming his music may echoe by New wave and Synthpop sounds synonmous with that era- but this could not be further from the truth. Lee Jeffries although only 31, has what can only be described as an old musical soul. Lee is already a well established DJ in the UK, and for those of you already familar with his sound through his regular radio show The Midnight Affair on Solar Radio I am sure you will not be suprised to learn that this young dj and music producer was raised by a man who was at the very heart of the 1970's northern soul movement in Britain. 

Lee Jeffries spent his formative years listening to motown and rare northern soul, and a love of those fast up-tempo beats combined with motown style melodies stayed with him into adulthood. So what it is that makes Lee Jeffries sound fresh? Well we can not forget that he is a child of the MTV generation- so although he may have enjoyed the harmonious vocals of (Leroy Hutson and Arnold Jarvis) we can also certainly feel the influence the huge dance scene that swept Britain in Lee's teenage years had on him. With songs like Shine On (add another one of your favourites) setting the club scene alight in 90's Britain Lee strayed from his Northern Soul roots and began dj'ing in respected house clubs across the UK, aged just 16, but it was not only the tuneful dance tracks that appealed to him, but also the electrifying energy one found in house clubs.

One of the biggest similarities between the northern soul movement of the late 60's early 70's and the 90's dance scene was that they did not produce music to listen to on a Sunday drive they were designed with the intent to allow people to lose their inhibitions and dance, and as a dj Lee prides himself of playing music that will please the crowd, dj'ing is not only about the music it is about the atmosphere and the relationship between the dj, the audience and the dancefloor.
