The time machine was ready to travel backwards again and has set the counter somewhen between the 50s and the 70s to enjoy the distinctive soul sound from that time. An hour by Nik Mantzou that won't get unnoticed. Guaranteed!

SOULMEEX

Nik Mantzou - SOULMEEX 017

Run by DCSIS (@dcsis), SOULMEEX is a weekly mix series launched in December 2022 out of a passion for high quality electronic music and beyond.

A passion often tough to turn into success for those individuals combining their regular jobs with the noble art of digging, selecting and playing records in their spare time.

Even tougher if not being into music production (or recently got into), not having contacts in the industry or counting with zero financial support to host a gig in their cities.

OUR MISSION therefore is boosting on a very special and unique website all this talent we strongly believe deserves to be heard.

Most recently, since July 2023 pro DJs and  producers join SOULMEEX from time to time to help us grow the community as we enjoy their savoir-faire in music.
