What's shakin funky people?!  We are back with Volume 208 of the series and we welcome the super talented DJ/Producer from France, DJ Tchok to Soul Room Sessions!

Hailing from France, DJ Tchok's early musical background has a particularly divine influence. At the age of 11 he was tutored to play the piano by a priest!

As a result, he was naturally drawn to Gospel and Soul. However his love for music was by no means limited and also extended into Funk and electronic sounds.

At the age of 20, DJ Tchok launched his DJ career, providing eager ears with an eclectic mix of Drum and Bass, Funk, and Hip-Hop. A few years later saw him enter into the realms of House, particularly with a Deep House and Tribal House flavour.

To express all these influences that were close to his heart, DJ Tchok devoted a further 6 years to music production. The fruits of his labour can be found on 'InHouse', 'Greenhouse Recordings', 'Artefact Records', 'Cat in the attic', 'Far Down Records', 'Sheeva Records' and 'Manyoma Records".

What's shakin' funky people?!?  We are back with Volume 214 of the series and we are thrilled to welcome fellow Vancouverite, DJ Bradley Be to Soul Room Sessions!

Bradley’s interest in music started at the age of 5 when he bought my first record, but it wasn’t until he was 9 that his passion for music truly began. At the age of 12, he organized a hip hop party at a local youth center where he first started DJing. He promoted the party for six months and built up a following of around 50 people. However, as hardcore music became more popular, he decided to try his hand at it. Although he found mixing hardcore music difficult, he was fortunate to be introduced to house and garage music, which ended up being his forte.
This led to an opportunity to play at a local nightclub called Rackets (Essex), where he warmed up for DJ Disciple. Following this gig, a promoter offered him a residency at the Playground (Essex), where he warmed up for various top DJs, including Danny Bhudda Morales, Normski, Bobbi and Steve, and Boy George, among others.
During his time as a house and garage DJ, he met Graham Gold, whom he considers to be one of the best DJs in the industry. After a short time, they became good friends, and through their friendship, Bradley had the opportunity to travel around England with him. On more than one occasion, he him play live sets at Kiss FM Studio, which led to introductions to all the top DJs, such as Judge Jules, Paul Trouble Anderson, and the Kiss FM crew. With all the experience he gained from these encounters, Bradley was able to learn a lot from the people he met.
From that point on, his DJ career took off, and he began playing at various venues across England, Europe, and the world.

This is an exclusive mix of tracks on Feel the Funk Records!

Frank Amodo is no stranger to the decks. A veteran DJ with roots dating back to 1987, he’s dived into an eclectic range of sounds from hip hop and electro to freestyle, house, and synth-pop. But it was 1997 when Frank locked into the raw energy of underground house—and he’s been riding that wave ever since. In the late '90s and early 2000s, you could catch him playing at various venues and house parties and fully immersed in the underground scene. After taking a break in 2007 to focus on family and his career in photography, the pandemic reignited his passion, pushing him back into the mix in 2020. Streaming live on Twitch, Frank shares both his latest releases and unreleased tracks, connecting with fans and peers alike. His music has landed on some serious labels like Cross Section Music, HI! Reaction, House Global Alliance, Chicago Skyline, Groovphoria, That's Right Dawg, 3rd Room, Reason 2 Funk, CRMS, Sunrising Records, Moiss Music and many more.

Playing other peoples music for other peoples enjoyment since 1993.

Darius is a self proclaimed "House Addict".  He fell in love with the house sound as a teenager living in Montreal back in the early '90s when he would stay up late on Friday nights and record a dance mix show on Montreal radio.  He was hooked from then on.  He then proceeded to start mixing with one tape deck and a CD player and never looked back.  

When he moved to Vancouver in the late '90's, he started buying records almost daily and spent most of his free time at his favourite record stores at the time, Bassix and Mekanix records.  Over the next few years, Darius held various residencies and ran 2 club nights in Vancouver, playing alongside such talent as Lawnchair Generals and Johnny Fiasco, as well as playing at numerous after hours and raves.   After getting tired of both the late nights and politics in the scene, he decided it was time to hang up the headphones in the early 2000s, but the love of house music still burned inside of him as the years passed. 

In 2013 he decided he wanted to get back into DJ'ing and purchased a basic Pioneer controller and started to collect digital tracks again.  Over the past few years Darius has been busy making a name for himself in the underground scene with numerous guest mix appearances around the world on such labels as House Salad, Reason2Funk, Uglyhouse, Little Routine, Selecta Music, Leven Underground and House Jet Radio just to name a few.  He also started the very popular "SPEED BUMPS" mix series which showcases his love for hip hop and jazz as he shows his versatility as a DJ by blending mixes of nu jazz, hip hop instrumentals and acid jazz flavours reminiscent of Mark Farina's legendary series, Mushroom Jazz. 

He also launched the hugely successful "Soul Room Sessions" podcast showcasing the soulful and jazzy side of house music and downtempo beats with guest mixes from some of the biggest names in the game and the series is still going strong!

In 2017 Darius got his first taste of out of town gigging playing live shows all over the West Coast from his hometown in Vancouver, to San Francisco and Oakland.  Stay tuned for much more from him in the near future!
