thank you Soulection for a weekend that I'll remember forever. 

this was a lowkey, open decks set performed on March 2, 2025 at Ludlow House in NYC for Joe Kay's single release party

SOULECTION EVENING @ LUDLOW HOUSE

We’ve all had those moments: when you hear that groove and instinctively turn the dial up a notch. When you’re in the car, the sun’s shining, and a wry smile creeps across your face because that track makes you feel so good. When you catch someone’s eye on the dance floor and that simple nod of acknowledgment resonates with you both in that moment.

That’s House Music. It’s a feeling.

For 30 years, the six-member DJ and production collective, Jazzanova, has been highly influential, artfully bridging the worlds of jazz, soul, and world into a fusion of modern sounds that have delighted ears and feet through the years. 

My first introduction was listening to “Coffee Talk,” a downtempo tune whose debut on Los Angeles radio station KCRW was the start of a music trajectory that would see the group through many top-notch remixes, several studio albums, a number of special music projects, and, now, coming full circle with a live version of its 2001 debut, “In Between.” “In Between Revisited” finds Jazzanova in a live session, with an intimate audience, surfacing ack to the tunes from its 2001 album, but giving it an updated flair. 

To celebrate “IN Between Revisited,” I did an early July all-vinyl set at Jan’s Vinyl Bar in San Luis Obispo, where the owners are fans too and where I spin about 1-2 times monthly. It was an honor to do so, and so great to pull out vinyl from my radio show days, when the music was fresh. It stands up very well today.

With that, I hope you enjoy the mix that I have for you: two hours of Jazzanova, along with friends, from vocalists to producers remixing Jazzanova. There was only so much that two hours could fit in, but here it is. 

I hope you enjoy it; do share it with your friends and others.

In The Shade [Mix/Oct. 2025]

This mix was originally meant to be recorded live at my next gig in Edinburgh at the end of the month. When it looked like I’d have to cancel, I decided to record it at home instead - just to share the vibe I had planned.

But the gig’s now back on, and the mix took on a life of its own. I kept going, extending it into a five-hour session that moves through all the sounds I’ve been drawn to lately - from new to old, much deepness and some feet shufflers.

Wanted to also pay tribute to the late great genius that was D'Angelo. May he rest in power x

Scott Proper : A Day In The Life

This one is for my best mate - someone who’s been in my life for more than thirty years. Ade’s asked me for a mix for ages, but I think I needed all that time just to choose which tracks to put on the damn thing, as he loves music as much as me and wanted to give a spread of the music we both love.

It’s a little tribute to the life we’ve lived together - the adventures, the heavy conversations, the times we held each other up (him, more than me), and the countless moments that somehow stitched our lives together.

There aren’t many people you grow alongside in this world. Ade is one of them. Someone who’s seen every version of me and never flinched. Someone I love like a brother, and someone I’ll always stand by.

This is for everything we’ve been through, and everything still ahead of us.

Happy (belated) Birthday - Love, Scott x

p.s Also a little dedication in there for my other (hairy) brother, Jackson. RIP.
