Faz - Live @Distillery Bar Wakefield Bank Holiday May '25

The Hustle Epi 5 Lisa Jane May

A sun-kissed cruise through smooth grooves, deep soul, and blissed-out house. We kick off with T.Markakis’ “Freak Like Me”, then glide into the cosmic funk of Funktatomic, silky vocals from Paris Grey, and a golden rework of Gretchen Parlato by Opolopo.

DJ Koze’s dreamy disco edit of “Operator” brings the magic, while Louie Vega, DJ Meme, and Yam Who? keep it classy and soulful. A standout moment comes with Stephanie Mills’ “Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin’” in a buttery Re-Groove Mix — pure gold for lovers of timeless vocal heat.

Other highlights include Tony Momrelle’s lush “My Paradise,” Ten City’s uplifting “Be Free,” and some silky deep house closers to ease you into the night.

Wrapped in velvet basslines and Balearic breeze, this is your golden-hour soundtrack — smooth, sultry, and made to melt into.

Press play and drift.

Sunset To Sunrise Soulful House Sessions | Vol. 3

Velvet vibes. Open invite.

Slip into something sinful and press play.

You’re about to be seduced by the ultimate Ibiza mixtape — a sensual, sweat-slicked journey through three decadent decades of dancefloor ecstasy. From the velvet grooves of the '80s, the hypnotic pulse of the '90s, to the euphoric highs of the 2000s… this isn’t just a mix. It’s foreplay for your soul.

We open with Jamiroquai’s Space Cowboy (David Morales Mix), a slow burn that melts into the lush heat of FPI Project’s Rich in Paradise. From there, it’s pure hedonism: Masters At Work, Full Intention, Soulsearcher, and that glorious Spiller x Sophie Ellis-Bextor tease that made the world fall in love on a dancefloor.

Every beat, every remix, every bassline is dripping in desire — from the sweet ache of Show Me Love to the deep, body-moving throb of Deep Inside and the glitter-soaked rush of Groovejet.

And just when you think you've had enough...
You’re hit with the finale: "Italian Piano Banger (Jazz Hand’s Extended Mix)” — my unreleased love letter to ‘90s euphoria. Think laser lights, lifted hands, and pure unfiltered joy.

This is your golden hour. Your afterparty fantasy.
Let go. Turn it up. And lose yourself in the decadence.

🌞 Sunset to Sunrise: A Balearic Seduction

From the golden hour to the velvet-dark hush of morning, this mix flows like warm honey—slow, sensual, and undeniably magnetic.

We open with Michael Gray’s “The Weekend” (Sultra Radio Mix)—a smooth operator that’s racked up major plays for good reason. It’s soulful, elegant, and oozes weekend temptation. From there, the Riva Starr remix of Spiller’s “Groovejet” (ft. Sophie Ellis-Bextor) brings that iconic question back to life: “If this ain’t love…”—and your body already knows the answer.

💿 Highlighted Remixes & Key Tracks
	•	Makèz – “Holy Sun (Retromigration Remix – Edit)” → A euphoric Balearic gem. Gently psychedelic, endlessly replayable.
	•	Hallex M & Atjazz – “Day by Day (Atjazz Remix Edit)” → Jazzed-up deep house silk. One of the top replayed tracks.
	•	Ivan Dorn – “Love Could Be (Soulful House Remaster)” → Midnight funk with irresistible swing.
	•	Diephuis x Siedah Garrett – “Fever” (Ft. Sugarhill Gang & Grandmaster Melle Mel) → Heat. Sass. Seduction.
	•	Opolopo Remix of “I Need Your Lovin’” by Spencer Morales x Tasha LaRae → Pure soulful uplift, late-night anthem vibes.
	•	T-Groove & Jet Boot Jack – “Let’s Feel Good” → Big on feel-good energy. Pure disco delight.

From Zora’s Moon (Natasha Diggs Remix)—which glows like neon on midnight skin—to Michael Diamond’s “You Like Jazz?” (a groove that seduces with a wink), each transition was designed for one thing: pleasure.

This is a mix for dimmed lights, silk robes, and bare skin. For women who know their worth, and men who know when to follow their lead. You won’t need to skip a single track.

🕯️ Sultry. Balearic. Quietly confident. Like chocolate melting in your palm.
💋 Best experienced somewhere between a rooftop terrace and someone’s arms.
🎧 Use with intent… or just let the music do the seducing.

Press play. Let go. Let the heat in.
→ Save it. Share it. Seduce with it.

Sunset To Sunrise Soulful House Sessions | Vol. 4

💋 DD004 — 80s CLASSICS: REMIXED
A Discothèque Decadence special by The Funk Assassin

Slip into something synthetic, spray your perfume a little lower, and turn the lights to mirrorball. This mix is for the sensualists, the strutters, the sirens — and the ones who don’t wait to be asked twice.

We open with “Nasty Girl” (Da Lukas Extended) — because of course we do. If Vanity 6 taught us anything, it’s that bad girls finish first. From Gwen McCrae’s “Doin’ It” (Joey Negro Reprise) to Jocelyn Brown’s divine “I Like It Like That”, this hour glows with groove, hips, and heavy breathing.

There’s smooth operators and cosmic dub boogies. There’s holy words whispered over silk synths and hooked-on-you fantasies with Cerrone and Jocelyn at their fiercest.

By the time Eurythmics – Sweet Dreams (Steve Angello Edit) lands, you’ll be dripping in synth sweat and asking who’s coming over — or coming back for more.

💄 No guilt. No apologies. Just velvet rhythms and heat you don’t need a partner for.
👠 Press play. Slide in. Let it play all over you.

🔊 Stream it. Crave it. Own it. Only on SoundCloud + YouTube.

SUNSET TO SUNRISE: Summer Solstice Special
☀️ A golden hour soul session by The Funk Assassin

As the sun lingers just a little longer, this mix captures the slow, golden glow of summer’s most seductive moment. A velvet-smooth journey of laid-back grooves, Balearic soul, and deep, sultry house — designed to ease you into the evening with style.

From the gospel shimmer of House Gospel Choir’s “Gypsy Woman” to the warm vocal textures of Tom Misch & Zak Abel, we drift through jazzy infusions from Art of Tones, sun-kissed rhythms by Purple Disco Machine, and smooth floor-fillers from Micky More & Andy Tee.

Ferreck Dawn, Kerri Chandler, Lovebirds, and Yam Who? provide the late-day heat, while underground gems from Sebb Junior, Retromigration, and Dave Lee keep things glowing with class and control.

Think soft linen, skin on skin, a breeze off the sea, and speakers playing soul at just the right level.

🌇 Perfect for golden hour — or holding onto it just a little longer.
Mixed with love by The Funk Assassin.

And as the sands of time pass…
remember: the Eye of Solaris is always watching.

Step inside a world wrapped in velvet.

Velvety Grooves VG001 is your invitation to the shadows where the lights glow low, and the air pulses with rhythm. This is deep, sexy, sultry house at its finest—a soundtrack for late-night whispers and bodies moving slow.

From the shimmering glow of Crazy P’s “Changes” (Mario Basanov Remix) to the sensual silk of Finnebassen’s “If You Only Knew,” every beat in this mix drips with warmth and desire. Lisa Shaw tempts you with her sultry vocals on “I Can See It,” while the talented productions of Lovebirds, Eelke Kleijn, Mat.Joe, and more weave grooves smoother than satin sheets.

Basslines slide under your skin. Chords wash over you like silk. Vocals tease and beckon. It’s deep, sophisticated house designed to touch your soul—and everything else.

Whether you’re dancing alone under neon lights or tangled up in someone’s arms, Velvety Grooves VG001 is here to make the night feel endless.

Press play. Close your eyes. And let the velvet take over.

Berlin Hypnotic House XXV - Head Club Mix

The Funk Brothers channel the sleek energy of French disco on “Can’t Fight The Feeling”, pairing crisp bass-lines and airy synths with Alison Fontaine’s effortlessly cool vocal. The result is a glossy, feel-good anthem that nods to Daft Punk and Pharrell while carving out its own space on today’s dancefloor.
