1) Tell us a bit about yourself and your record collection.

I have been DJing and collecting records since my pre-teen years in the 80s. I always liked playing records, making music in bands, writing and talking about music and so forth.
My record collection has quite an emphasis on Hip Hop, Funk, Soul and Jazz, but you can find almost anything somewhere in there. When I was younger I always liked the fastest track on a record the most, as I was a (probably hyperactive) energetic dancer. And I loved knowing the words and stops and breaks of records. A tendency to be nerdy about these things. It helps with song selection in sets.

2) 45/7 is all about celebrating the 7". Can you tell us a bit about what you love about the format.

It is a very practical format to play, I think. 170 records in the box and off to a good night with music. My dear friend Keb Darge put me on in the end, when I was lucky enough to have my brother living in London and Keb inviting me to DJ at his club nights. A box of 45s and off I went. 
That kind of pushed me over the edge from compilations and LPs finally, I guess. 

3) One hour of vinyl goodness... can you talk us through your selection for your 45/7 mix?

It is a little Hip Hop heavy with some Soul, Funk and odd bits in there. I was going through a stack of records with some brand new releases, some records I purchased in the last months, a few releases on the Origu label and a few favorites from somewhere in another stack that was right next to that. It is a few reissues, originals and re-edits. All records I enjoy. I just started with the first one and let the records find their way in my hands...

4) Where can people catch you / listen to your music? 
You can find my radio show Home Diggin’, the label, the club sets and musical things via www.homediggin.com

5) Top 5 all time fave records
These are always difficult, as there is no all time top 5. It is always one more and more … So I am choosing 5 albums and 5 45s that I really enjoy:

LPs
Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
James Brown - Motherlode
Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream
Masta Ace - MA_DOOM; Son Of Yvonne
Dead Kennedys - In God We Trust Inc.

45s
The PCs LTD: - Fast Man
Soul Brothers Six - I’ll Be Loving You
Zilla Mayes - All I Want Is You
Osaka Monaurail - Double-Up, Now
Daddy-O - Drumma Man

45/7 #80 ARTIST: GU

Summer Soul - Notes On A Journey Selection by Stefan Leisering (Jazzanova)

Connor Charles steps back into the golden era of soul with Electric Heart – The Motown Sessions.
A three-volume journey through the sounds of Detroit — from smooth harmonies to powerhouse duets, glittering brass, and heart-stopping rhythm.
Re-imagined with warmth, spirit, and groove, each song pays tribute to the timeless energy of Motown’s finest — where hope, soul, love, and neon lights meet analog magic.

No Longer A Hidden Secret - Swinging 60's

Here comes a new Red Stripe Disco delivery with this 12th delivery. It finally took around 1 year to collect the records for this new episode. I could have waited a bit more (not all of the wants were cleared from the wantlist) but I wanted to drop that one within this summer. I had some nice surprises on the way though, that I am happy to share with you with this new mix! 

As usual, the selection focuses on "reggae not reggae" stuffs from the 70's / early 80's - ranging from killer UK Lovers Rock to Disco & Boogie, even a couple of Rap stuffs, with a few nice covers on the way. All of the records selected are related to Jamaica and/or Reggae labels, with one exception being from Trinidad... 

I hope this new episode will please your ears & feet, and will be helping finishing this nice 2016 summer in the nicest way possible! 
I have already started the quest for a 13th mix, with some dope records already on the list!

Inspired by the London Jazz Dance scene & the local cosmic music phenomenon I started a club night called VIBE KLUB back in 1991 with Marc Frank (lesgammas, 7 Samurai,panoptikum,Dubben etc..) 
& HP (Dubben) in our hometown Augsburg in South Germany. 
A weekly Saturday night  @ Kerosin which went on until 2005....we were spinnin classic breaks,rare grooves,jazz, old school hip hop & had an neverending hunger for  the kind of lush, dreamy 70´s fusion sound that you can hear in this mix. These are the roots of the later german Nu Jazz sound sported by Rainer Trüby, Theo Thönessen, Heiko Jahnke, Rosko ,Claas , Jürgen ,Alex, Michael Rütten, Emanuela de Luca ,Mark Bohlman,Rob Spoljaric ,Spinning Wheel etc...
check the samples &

VA DISCO JAZZ 2  mixtape by Tom Wieland free soul inc Vienna

Here's a live recording of my mostly 45's set from the awesome all vinyl Soulelujah party that goes down every saturday here in Boston, shout to the man Sean Q. aka claude money and the crew. It was my debut there and i had such an amazing time playing records that i so passionately collect and barely ever get to spin out in this city. Bet on hearing classic soul, funk and disco, as well as some rare joints for my nerdy collector digger types(all originals of course :) Oh and pardon the echo overkill on my mixer and yelling on the mic a couple of times too many haha.  Enjoy!

Cosmic Boogie, Disco & Garage warmness by GIAN ARPINO | SOUL OF SYDNEY 383

Mix by Jürgen von Knoblauch:

I have done the mix to celebrate the release of Paz e Futebol, Volume 3 compilation compiled by Junior Santos.

Over time, Junior and I developed a friendship based upon listening, talking, analyzing and trading Brazilian music.

When the idea came up to let Junior compile Volume 3, I was so thrilled that I even agreed to change the original concept of our Paz e Futebol series. Namely to compile Brazilian influenced music from all over the world be it from the past or the present. 

Junior, however, selected 8 fantastic recordings made in Brazil from the 80's which throw a bridge from major released recordings to independently organised releases. 

This mix features some of those recordings but it also pays homage to the original concept of Paz e Futebol and features actual productions with a Brazilian taste as well. Additionally, the mix presents recordings which might be part of one of the next Paz e Futebol volumes. Enjoy:)

MIMS Guest Mix: JAZZANOVA "Paz E Futebol 3 Inspiration Mix" (Berlin, Sonar Kollektiv)

„Discovering and rediscovering music“ is NOAJ's slogan and by this credo productions and recordings (records, cassettes, never before released master tapes) from days gone by shall and will find its audience. NOAJ tells the tale of mis-launched careers, failed dreams, gutted hopes, criminally overlooked masterpieces and of music that has been probably way too ahead of its time.
