Southport Weekender Vibes (Soulful House & Disco Mix) - mixed by Mark Anthony (June 2025)

The 25 year old 'Southport Weekender' event is the premier soul music weekender! Held at the Butlin's Holiday Resort in Bognor it hosts a world class line up of artists and DJ's covering the whole spectrum of classic and contemporary soulful sounds. For somebody like me, I can only dream of ever playing at this level and its safe to say it ain't ever going to happen. But it doesn't mean I can't pretend...

So here's my mix in honour of this years 'Southport Weekender' festival. Picking a selection of my favourite soulful and deep grooves.

Southport Weekender Vibes (Soulful House & Disco Mix)

Lisa Jane set from Goodlife Festival Leeds 

Lisa Jane Goodlife Festival - Downtown Disco 28/6/25

Sr Summer all dayer Aug25 @ SWG3

Sr Pool Party 6/9/25 @ Bam Bu Ku, Ibiza

Here’s half of last night’s party, lovely people, at a lovely venue, overlooking Trentham Lake.

It’s the start of the party, as the sun went down, and the final hour or so, tacked on the end, as the party drew to a close...........

The challenge was to try and include some of the party favourites that the girls had given me, in a playlist that was over six hours long, at a party that lasted for five hours……. Miraculously, many of them are included here, along with a few of those old Bob’s Disco classics, to make the party go with a swing!

Dance…….. while you can….. 

Emu & Tilly @ Trentham Lake, 4/10/25

The first three or so hours of my live gig at Rita's in Southampton, for a new night of classic-flavoured house music.

Downtown Disco @ Archive with Michael Gray & Ian Ossia 18/10/25

Me & Karn have been getting away with it since the early 90’s, and the very start of Golden, and the Super Club era……..

I’ve played more After Parties than most, over the years, so when Karn & Louise tied the knot, in the sunshine, a few weeks ago, it was inevitable I’d get the call for this one, and it’s joy to see them so happy!

I’ve never been asked to play “Handbag” before, I think it references those anthemic House tracks from the 90’s, but when you see the girls flood the dance floor, you realise it’s a pretty good shout!
All these tracks are tremendously popular for good reason!

Here’s my bit, between the sausage rolls, and the inimitable Pete Bromley, who rounded the night off in his usual accomplished style.

I’ve sneaked in a secret track, tagged on the end, which is the one that was asked for, but I didn’t get chance to play…….

All the love you can carry from Bob’s Disco!


Big Up The Stone Roses!

Mani, this one’s for you……….

Dance…… while you still can……. X   

Karn & Lou's After Party, 22/11/25
