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.

[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. 💃🕺💜

The Rhythm Method - Will Nice — 9 August 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.
