With two critically acclaimed compilations already under his belt, DJ / collector miche returns to Mr Bongo with the third instalment of his With Love series. Testament to his ever-expanding taste, Volume 3 isn’t just a subs bench call-up from the past compilations, it’s an evolution and progression casting the net deeper and wider than before.

Keeping true to the series, but with some fresh surprises along the way, this carefully curated compilation is a celebration of soulful, independently released music from across the globe, and the amazing (often unsung) musicians and vocalists that made these sublime records.

Across the third volume, miche explores a jazzier side of his tastes. “The deeper I went, the more I found myself gravitating towards jazzier music - not leaving soul behind, but following that same feeling into new territory”, he explains. Tracks like the gliding jazz funk found on Late Nite Music Band’s ‘Sundance’, or the glorious jazz-soul number ‘In Flight’ by Spectrym are shining examples of this.

That defining soulful thread of previous volumes is still in full effect throughout this latest edition. “There’s a healthy dose of impossible-to-find soul gems that have that unmistakable, heartwarming feel. Tracks like John Simmons' 'Ain't Nothing Like The Love', which I've adored ever since Zaf Love Vinyl played it, sit perfectly alongside records like Le Cop and New Way”, states miche.

The addition of some top-tier Turkish music showcases another side to his ever-broadening taste. Nükhet Ruacan's 'Gölge' is something unique, a floaty Brazilian-inspired gem recorded in Turkey and not what you’d typically expect from Turkish records of this era.  

It also wouldn’t feel right to leave out a stop in Brazil, with miche looking to the work of Carlos Bivar whose track 'Amargo Amar' carries that undeniable groove of samba-funk from Rio.

Spreading the With Love message far and wide the series has led to miche DJing across the globe, “from batucada sessions in Timisoara, to all-night sets in a club in Beijing, and even an eight-hour Root Down With Love stage takeover at We Out Here festival, joined by Danilo Plessow, Jeremy Underground, and of course, my mentor and buddy Rainer Trüby.”

Volume 3 then, carries that message even further. It’s an eclectic but intentional collection, built for the music lover who wants to discover something new. Working just as well as a soundtrack to cook dinner to, as it does keeping a packed dancefloor moving into the small hours. 


Flashback - Piece of Mind

[歌詞]
夜の隙間に消えた  
言葉たちがまだ疼く  
Can't pretend it's fine  
But I smile like everything's alright  

誰も知らない秘密  
胸の奥にまだ光る  
I try to move on  
But your echo keeps hanging on  

（ねえ どうして）  
Why’d you leave without a trace  
（ねえ 答えて）  
All I needed was your face  

You never said goodbye  
涙は答えじゃない  
Still I wait, still I ache  
今もここで fade away  

灯りのない部屋で  
名前を呼ぶ夜もある  
I remember your voice  
Playing back like a worn-out choice  

Why did I hold on so long  
（見えない未来に）  
今さら気づいた truth  
We were shadows all along  
（重ねた幻）  

You never said goodbye  
涙は答えじゃない  
Still I wait, still I ache  
今もここで fade away  

（遠ざかる）  
I’m not the same  
（響くメロディー）  
Calling your name  

Can’t erase what we became  
But I won’t stay in this flame  

You never said goodbye  
涙は答えじゃない  
Still I wait, still I ache  
今もここで fade away

ModnSoul - Brendan Farrell — 30 July 2025

Live @ Syd Slaps

„Ist das Auflegen von Vinyl in Zeiten der Mixcloud ein Anachronismus? Ich denke nicht. Vinyl ist analog, live, unmittelbar. Und manchmal gelingt es, dadurch Verbindungen mit Menschen herzustellen, die unter die Haut gehen – magische Momente - under a groove."

Boris Goldberg, ist musikalisch sozialisiert in München und durch die dortige Szene der 90er. Acid Jazz, HipHop, Ska und Punk sind darum fester Bestandteil seiner Plattenkiste, doch ganz am Ende schlägt sein Herz für Soul und Disco. 

„Home is where the heart is“ – ein Besuch zu seinen Auftritten lohnt sich. 💃🕺💜

Prodigy - Walk Out (₭OLCHA₭ Remix)

Verse 1
Woke up this morning, sunlight on my face,
Don’t need no fortune, I’m already in that place.
A neighbor’s laughter drifting through the air,
It’s a song of love, and I know I’m rich right there.

Pre-Chorus
Ain’t about the riches, ain’t about the race,
It’s the quiet moments that give my soul its grace.

Chorus 
Lead: It’s the little things that keep me strong
Backgrounds: Little things, little things
Lead: Like a simple smile that carries me along
Backgrounds: Little things, little things
Lead: Don’t need no kingdom, don’t need no crown
It’s the little things that turn my world around.

Verse 2 
Coffee on the corner, children in the street,
Every heartbeat’s rhythm makes my life complete.
The touch of a hand when the night feels cold,
That’s the kind of fire money can’t control.

Pre-Chorus
Slow it down, hear the music in the breeze,
That’s where the sweetest kind of freedom lives in me.

Chorus 
Lead: It’s the little things that light my way
Backgrounds: Little things, little things
Lead: In the darkest night, they turn to day
Backgrounds: Little things, little things
Lead: I ain’t chasing shadows, I ain’t chasing fame
It’s the little things that keep my soul the same.

Bridge 
Clap your hands now, let your spirit rise,
Every tear we’ve shed makes the joy alive.
Sing it louder now, let the whole world know,
It’s the little things that make a garden grow.

Final Chorus 
It’s the little things (the little things)
That make my spirit sing,
It’s the little things (the little things)
That give my heart its wings.
I don’t need the fast lane, I don’t need control,
It’s the little things that satisfy my soul.

Outro 
Little things, little things… oh the little things,
That’s all I need, that’s all I need…

the little things

Somebody didn’t feel my song,
Said the groove just didn’t belong.
That’s alright, yeah, that’s okay,
You don’t have to hear it my way.

Mmm… it’s alright,
It’s okay.
You don’t have to like my song,
I’ll still play.

Somebody tried to bring me down,
Wanted to report my sound.
For no reason, just their fight,
Broken hearts don’t hear it right.

(It’s alright) — I still sing.
(It’s okay) — let the soul ring.
You don’t have to like my song,
I’ll still play it all night long.

Some people hurting,
Some people need healing.
Projecting shadows
On the way I’m feeling.
But I won’t bend, I’ll let it flow,
Music’s the only truth I know.

It’s alright, it’s okay,
You don’t have to like my song today.
It’s alright, it’s okay,
I keep singing anyway.

(It’s alright) ohh…
(It’s okay) mmm…
You don’t have to like my song,
But I’ll still play…

I’ll still play (Neo Soul reload)

ModnSoul - Brendan Farrell — 9 September 2025

Bournemouth based Soulfix (Matt Sharp and Mark Thompson) first started DJing together back in 2015 after doing there own DJ thing for over 20yrs previous.

Their shared passion for playing Modern Soul and House music infused with Soul, Latin, Jazz and Afro elements, combined with nearly 50yrs knowledge of this genre, has made Soulfix a well loved night since it was established.

They have played with many big names throughout their careers and travelled to the other side of the globe.

In 2016 they were asked to play at Bump n Hustle which is the Uk’s longest running Soulful House night. Bump and Hustle has now been going for 30yrs, so it was an honour to be included in this well established local event.

In 2019 Matt also attended Suncebeat in Croatia, playing at the after party for MDA.

They are frequently joined by percussionist Cass creating rhythms on his congas and guest DJ's like Sean McCabe and Ralf Gum to name a few.

The entire sound is in my hands. I write cyber poetry, produce, and compose every track — only in Immersive 3D. Every beat is crafted for spatial and next-gen headphones.
Intimate lyrics, total immersion, every track.

For 30 years I kept unfinished demos to myself, never letting them out. Now I finish what I start and release it the moment it’s alive.

音楽制作が趣味のベーシストです。楽曲の基本コンセプトは、グルーヴィーなリズム、優しいメロディー、そして聴き飽きない没入感です。様々な音楽テイストをミックスしています。現在はジェネレーティブAIを活用していますが、2025年にはDAWにてトラックパートを差し替え、生楽器をRECしオリジナリティを確立する予定です。もし私たちの音楽を気に入っていただけたら、フォローしていただけると嬉しいです。ありがとうございました。

I am a Bassist whose hobby is music production. The basic concept of my music is groovy rhythms, gentle melodies, and an immersive experience that you will never get tired of listening to. I mix a variety of genres. We currently utilize generative AI, but in 2025 we plan to replace track parts in DAW and REC live instruments to establish originality. If you like our music, we hope you will follow us. Thank you very much.

Exploring music as a field of creative research, I compose experimental works shaped by both human intuition and machine collaboration. Each track is part of a search for new textures and emotions. ✨

WELCOME TO THE MUSIC KITCHEN

I’m Kristyn – and this is my kitchen, but instead of food, I’m serving music.
For the past 20 years, I’ve been cooking up stories – sometimes sweet, sometimes bittersweet – and now I'm turning them into songs.

I don’t just write songs – I simmer down real experiences, spice them with emotion, and let technology be my sous-chef. Every note, every artwork, every design comes straight from me, crafted with intention.

So grab a seat, open your ears, and let me serve you a taste of what happens when deep storytelling meets innovation.
