Happy to announce my new monthly 2 hour radio show on Street Sounds Radio ...... hope you dig it!!

Street Sounds Radio - [80's Child - Monthly 2 Hour Radio Show]

Welcome to a brand new monthly feature on the Word Is Love show playing tribute to a number of special nights throughout our time across the world. You may have heard the Studio 54 & Paradise Garage tribute shows, now it's time for a modern take on this celebrating the legendary Disco sound of Glitterbox Ibiza. 

Just like Studio 54, Glitterbox holds a high standard when it comes to music policy and that is the subject of this mix, Glitterbox Classics.

As you can expect there are a number of well known artists on this mix with music by Chaka Khan, Jocelyn Brown, The Shapeshifters, Dave Lee, Folamour, Dimitri From Paris and Sister Sledge plus a whole lot more Classic action.

The mix is pure unadulterated Disco pleasure and is a tribute to Glitterbox Ibiza, enjoy!

All tracks are selected and mixed by @thefunkassassin with Love.

It's time to Dance!

Live @ Pen&Pencil Manchester 10th Feb'23

This one’s for you Jeff!

I was arranging some tracks for this mix when I heard the awful news regarding Jeff's sudden passing and felt it only right to pay my respects in the form of both of our passions…music! 

I know Jeff was mostly well known for his hardcore rave sets but I also know he had a soft spot for soul and funk so with that in mind I’ve mixed together a full 6 hours of more chilled out 80’s club classics including one of Jeff's faves from that genre, Chaka Khan - Ain’t Nobody around the 2hr 56 min mark.

I’ve admired probably Plymouth’s longest serving and unbelievably talented DJ for over the last 30 years and Jeff will always hold a special place in my heart. An inspiration on and off the turntables and one of the key people to encourage me to start DJing myself.

Massive thank you to Peachey, Lee J, Roy, Rich Emery and all of the others artists who provided the amazing piece down the side of The Warehouse used in the vid...total respect!

RIP Apache….Thank you for your music…We miss you! https://www.mixcloud.com/jefferson-vandike/
