This week we welcome a true selector and LBC favourite on the podcast!  Paul sent over these words about his musical journey to date;

I began buying records as a young teenager in the mid to late 70s, starting off with Soul, Funk and Disco, partly due to my Dad’s influence and taste, as he loved bands like Earth Wind & Fire, War and The Isley Brothers etc, but also through listening to tastemaker radio DJ’s like Robbie Vincent and Greg Edwards, as well as the numerous black music pirate radio stations of the day, and club DJs such as Froggy, Chris Hill and Bob Jones. My tastes grew to include Jazz, Latin and Fusion, and with a passion for new cutting-edge music developing, early Hip Hop and Electro, what is now known as Boogie, then in 1985…  HOUSE!

I started DJ’ing out in the early 80s, mainly at friends parties, progressing to warm ups at local Soul nights, before getting residencies at bars in London and Birmingham, and playing guest spots all over the UK and beyond.  

I was also co-organiser and one of the resident DJs at The Sands, the ‘pop-up’ gig across the road @Southport Weekender, which we did for 9 years until it moved to the new site in Minehead and am honoured to have played at the legendary Southport Weekenders since. I am also partnered with Nick Ferrara promoting Basement 108, a quarterly night in Glasgow, dedicated to Soulful Deep & House, where we’ve welcomed the cream of UK DJs like Neil Pierce, The Journey Men, Groove Assassin and Craig Smith to play for our knowledgeable crowd. 

I have also enjoyed many years doing internet radio before settling at STARPOINT RADIO where I can play all the music I love, always with a focus on new releases from contemporary Soul and Jazz, and the many shades of House music thru to vintage grooves from the 70s and 80s.

NY Vibez House Set

There’s no relenting on the calibre of quality when it comes to the guest mixes on the Grooveology series, and this week we are delighted to welcome the talented DJ & Producer K. Wilson to the fold.

Beginning his musical journey on some of London’s stand-out pirate radio stations, Kieran was soon honing his skills at some of the biggest spots on the circuit, no less so Studio 338, Ministry of Sound and Printworks. Combining a passion for music with an entrepreneurial spirit has led Kieran down the path of opening his own Shoreditch-based record shop, Shrubs & Dubs, while his  technical ability behind the decks has led him to the London Sound Academy where he spends his time tutoring the next generation of talent.

As for the set today, Kieran has brought us a diverse, heady mix ranging from deep, driving piano house and bumpy 4/4 through to garage and acid-layered beats, and featuring music from St. David, Cinthie, Kerri Chandler and Bernardo Mota.

Grooveology 017 | K. Wilson

It’s been a while since we’ve had a party takeover on the platform, but you’re in for a treat on the ears today as the sounds of OSO:DEN are showcased on the next instalment of the Grooveology series. Follow the link in our bio to listen.

The brainchild of previous guest to the series, Bear Winder, the OSO:DEN parties aim to push the boundaries of the deeper, soulful side of House, fusing it with underground Garage both old and new. The party comes with a simple mantra, aiming to provide a platform for artists who champion the sound, as well as the long-standing connoisseurs who led the way in the 90’s and early 00’s. We can certainly get down with that! This is echoed throughout the mix with music from Kiko Navarro, DirtyTwo, Demuja and Jimpster to name but a few.

Bear will be hosting the next OSO:DEN party tomorrow night, Saturday 2nd December down in the cave at the Queen of the South, SE27 9BQ where she’ll be joined by K. Wilson, Shuvaluv, Larry Plays Records and A Hard Day’s Dance. The guest-list is free but make sure you hop on the link for and sign up 👇

Grooveology 018 | OSO:DEN party take-over

The musical arm of Collective Groove consists of Charlie & Pete, good friends for just under a decade having been introduced by their third honorary member Bobby

Charlie found underground electronic music through the peak of UK garage back in his mid to late teens. His early club encounters were in venues such as Scala in the UK & Club Abyss in Ayia Napa. An undisputed era in UK music which was always about having the best time, he naturally found his way into the house (and occasionally disco) scene

Pete shares a very similar story although he can add D'n'B and Jungle as accolades of his youth. Throughout his earlier years he managed to haul an extensive collection of early house & garage records which still get dusted off and played to this day

Recently the pair have reunited their love for the 90s house scene. A time in which the US house vibes coming from places such as New York, Chicago and Detroit were birthing the garage scene they loved so much here in the UK. They list Jovonn, Ron Trent, Tony Humphries, Kerri Chandler, MAW, Blaze, 95 North, Chez Damier, Glenn Underground, Jazz N Groove & Mood II Swing amongst their most influential artists

"For our OSO:Den mix we wanted to do something almost exclusively from the music of the 90's. We've favoured the more driving NY sound but included are some absolute bumpin highs. Much of the music is from the pioneers of this time, a sound which in our opinion never tires. We love that Bear & the Oso:Den crew are keeping such an important era of music alive and hope that experienced music heads can enjoy the mix whilst hopefully blessing the younger ears with some exquisite records they may have never heard before"
