words:

keepin it quiet and sensitive at the beginning of the show with the mighty Gregory Porter, Matthew Halsall transforming inspiration into pure feeling, 40 years of UK Jazz in between, Jamie Woon - what can i say . . . so good to hear the final version of a tune that i 've known for a long time in its acoustic version, beautiful string section for Malcolm X, courtesy of Joseph Malik,  taken from his outstanding new album - soulsearching exclusive for the moment - a bit of Chaka is never wrong, especially played for Daz-I-Kue, Ben Westbeech now signed to Strictly Rythm with a killer song from his album forthcoming (for those who will be in Berlin, see you 29th April at Icon for his showcase), a duet of the other two vocalists in Jazz 2011, Nailah Porter & José James with Nicola Conte from his "Love & Revolution" album, which is so good and exactly the vibe i need right now, plus the early 70s vibe by The Stepkids.

Then straight into spring sunshine niceness by the one and only DJ Friction courtesy of his exclusive mixtape. danke, martin - exactly my kinda music!

Finishing off on the gospel kind of way, its easter weekend 2011.

peace . love . vibes .

enjoy the music.
Michael

words:

All Prayers For Japan !
What's Goin On (Marvin Gaye)

soulsearching sending much love & strength to Japan.
with the music 120 minutes, always inspired by the fact that music comin out of Japan is mostly uplifting,
so keep your head up to the sky and maybe a bit of niceness through this selection can help to put a smile on faces
in these times. i am sure  Loleatta Holloway, the undisputed queen of disco will do that too.
a little  r.i.p. in soul heaven mix by yours truly.
and the mighty Labelle asking "what can you do for me . . . love love love!"

enjoy the music.

"Dedicated to the memory of John Barry for the many years of music and films I’ve loved since I was a nipper at the premiere of Goldfinger" that's what Kevin Jenkins aka Ole Smokey said about his mix selection which is full of his own brilliant edits. No more edits you say? Well, let's say we keep the real good ones and disregard the rest, ok? Kevin is not only doing his editing the real oldschool way like cutting reel to reels, his selection of the music is different and breathes a long years and many decades lasting musical experience, livin in San Francisco, then returning to Chester and being one of the few real residents at the Garden Festival, Zadar each summertime since 2005. Check his soundcloud.com/olesmokey page for more adventures into so many unheard pearls and mixcloud.com for ole smokey and garden festival for more mixes by the man. thanks and hope to see you in summer again, Kevin!
triple SunRaness kickin off this weeks 120, getting more and more into the outstanding album by Africa Hitech, followed by Floating Points and Fatima goin Theo Parrish all the way, And that tune that's doin the rounds since DJ Shadow played it last year on GPs show. BIG gospel JB funk. And another song from the nice Bibio longplayer, soon to come through Warp Records. One more rediscovery gems by Franck Foubert et Les Superfriends crew out of Annecy/Lyon plus a replay for Triste Janero, there you go into the mix....finishing off in a balearic Jazz Funk style, courtesy of Gatto Fritto.
It's all good,
enjoy the music.
