<p>Friends,
In spite of my revolving local commitments I will still be able to run three SOUL REVIVAL mixshows on Jerseydjs.com during the month of May 2011:
- 1 May 2011, 8 – 10 PM, EST; my tribute to one of the greatest, Loleatta Holloway. Others have had their tributes, but none like this one!
- 14 May 2001 (Saturday night special), 12 midnight – 2 AM, EST; I Love the 90s…the Golden Age of House Music. I’ve you are down to get your 90s fix on, this will be the time to get it in…
- 22 May 2011, 8 – 10 PM, EST; DJ Purple Pre-Birthday Mix. Actual birthday is 27 May, but I expect to celebrate since that is a Friday and that also happens to be the holiday weekend…no work for me!
Mark your calendars.
Tell your friends.
And, most importantly – join me in the chat room…

o Host:
o DJ Purple (the duke of House)
www.radio.jerseydjs.com
February 24 is my mother’s birthday. As recent tradition dictates it’s time for the birthday celebration mix, this time in the “Pryme Vektor” show slot, and as the “Soul Revival” special. Tradition also dictates that we go afro-centric style…
I invite you to join me in celebrating another birthday in the original show format: 1st Half – unmixed with disco and a little bit of African vibes for good measure; 2nd Half – club mixed, and featuring more deep afro-flavors for your listening pleasure.

<p>It is amazing how time flies. “Soul Revival” will now enter year number four as an internet radio mixshow for Jerseydjs.com. To have this milestone is special for more than one reason. First, it will be the first broadcasting from my new residence in the metropolitan Chicagoland area; since Chicago is my hometown the anniversary show will actually be a ‘homecoming’ of sorts. The other reason that this is special is that although the mixshow will be four years running, the Soul Revival ‘brand’ is much older, ten years to be exact. [The first “Soul Revival” CD demo mix that I recorded was on October 14, 2000]
I invite you to join me as I celebrate by giving you an extended play: 5 hours of soul/dance music, and a throwback to the original show format…1st Half – unmixed, and featuring classic tracks that will be guaranteed to blow your mind; 2nd Half – club mixed, and featuring the hottest tracks of today and yesteryear!

<p>Friends,
In order to demonstrate my undying love of House Music I will be embarking on two fun projects simultaneously. The first will consist of me listening to my old cassette tapes onto which I recorded hot mixes from the Chicago radio stations – my single focus will be WKKC, 89.3 FM. The aim is to document the many different DJs I was exposed to over the number of years that recorded the shows. The second project will be to simply post photos of those tapes – this one will be a continuous project as I can simply create a folder for the photo album and add to it as I finish each tape.
Strap yourselves in…

<p>I have been given reassignment orders to Chicago this summer and as a result the “Soul Revival” and Pryme Vektor” internet radio mixshows on Jerseydjs.com will be in a short hiatus. Since my departure is imminent I will be broadcasting older shows in order to fill the airtimes; once my belongings are packed and moved I will be off-air. Once I get settled at my new residence I will be able to continue to bring you the weekly shows for your entertainment. I anticipate that the entire process should last from now until mid-August, which will be near the time of the four-year anniversary of “Soul Revival”.

<p>Great news!
The technical issues with the encoder have been resolved. Soul Revival and Pryme Vektor are back in effect immediately. Due to free space I will be able to broadcast a double-set beginning with the original projected New Year’s show, followed by the Belated Birthday Mix for Mom. These shows will be re-broadcast in two weeks when I return from a business trip.
Special thanks to all who waited patiently with me. It feels great to be back up and in the game again.

<p>Not too long ago I announced that I would be upgrading equipment and I also anticipated that I would be able to return to broadcasting my internet radio shows, “Soul Revival” and “Pryme Vektor” via Jerseydjs.com. I was successfully able to accomplish only one of the two goals: upgrading the equipment. Due to technical issues concerning my PC-encoder ‘interface’ I will not be able to broadcast shows via Jerseydjs.com, until further notice. I am confident that the issues will be resolved once the PC is examined by a professional “geek”, and the good news is that I can still broadcast “Afterhours (a deep house session)” via UtahFM.org, operating out of Salt Lake City, Utah. In the meantime I will not be sending any more “notes” concerning the status of the troubleshooting – I would rather just send an announcement once I am ready to broadcast the Jerseydjs.com shows again.

<p>As 2010 rolls on, my goal is to continue to rock the box with the hottest and most eclectic sounds. With that, I do have some disappointing news concerning two of my internet radio mixshows which are broadcast on www.jerseydjs.com. Due to equipment issues “Soul Revival” with DJ Purple and “Pryme Vektor” with DJ Optymus Pryme will be on hiatus for an undetermined amount of time. The main objective for me is to upgrade an important piece of equipment and I am determined to install quality; this will take a little time. Once the equipment issues are resolved I can get back to the “business” of entertainment.
While this is indeed a disappointment, all is not lost. My third internet radio mixshow, “Afterhours (a deep house session)”, on www.UtahFM.org, is not affected as the show is broadcast from the studio of Utah Free Media, downtown Salt Lake City. You can continue to check me out on Friday nights.
The best is yet to come!

<p>I have been very busy over the course of the last 8 weeks. First there was the business trip to Cheyenne, WY, where on some free time I found a vinyl record store and bought some old school goodies. Then there was my annual vacation time in the hometown of Chicago – the birthplace of House Music. Last week I played a minor role in supporting the Springville World Folkfest which was a sight to behold. Now I will embark in yet another adventure this weekend as I gear up for the “triple crown” in Salt Lake City.
Friday (Saturday morning) - Aug 7:
“Afterhours (a deep house session)” – www.UtahFM.org, 12:30 AM – 2:00 AM, EST. I will be putting down some smooth/jazzy/funky/soulful grooves.
Saturday- Aug 8:
“Soul Revival” – www.radio.jerseydjs.com, 11:00 PM – 1:00 AM, EST. I will be presenting a special classic and obscure Disco mix, just for the old school Househeads (LTHS c/o 89 take note!). After the show I will actually be heading to the W Lounge in downtown Salt Lake City to investigate the sounds of Big City House as the guest DJ will be Frankie J from Chi-Town.
Sunday - Aug 9:
“Volleyball Sundays” at Liberty Park (Salt Lake City), 4:00 – 9:00, EST (4:00 – 7:00, MST). I will be the guest, along with resident DJ Danny Dance, www.danceisafeeling.com. For this set I have some tricks up my sleeve, to include a couple of classics that will be played at just the right time. (Salt Lake people – you’ve been served notice!)
Get ready for a “jam” packed weekend!
One more note (for the ‘Grand Slam’):
The following Tuesday (Aug 11) will bring more goodies for the discriminating ear, as “Pryme Vektor” kicks in on www.radio.jerseydjs.com, 10:00 PM – 12 midnight, EST. 80’s classics for your listening pleasure (LTHS c/o 89…take note again!)</p>

<p>A few weeks ago the world stood still as we absorbed the loss of an icon in the form of Michael Jackson. Since his passing there have been swarms of tribute parties and celebrations of his life, both on radio and in the clubs. It is now my turn to add some of my flavor into the mix. For my return to the decks on SOUL REVIVAL this Saturday, July 25th, from 11:00 PM – 1:00 AM, EST, I will hold a tribute show that will be – in a word – unique. The listening audience is guaranteed a treat – just make sure you log in at www.radio.jerseydjs.com.
Rest in peace Michael – you will probably never know how much you were loved!</p>

<p>I am currently taking an online course in Introductory Algebra (MATH 009), which is a pre-requisite for future upper level technical courses. A few days ago I submitted a "blog" in the Virtual Student Lounge:
"Math and the Art of Spinning Records
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the long story (referencing my introduction):
I've been a DJ for over 15 years now. I have just recently realized how mathematics can be used in the "art" of playing records.
One aspect deals with putting together compilations. When I made demo tapes/CDs, I'd be concerned with the max amount of working time I had: for cassettes it was 30, 45, or 60 mins on each side and for CDs it was 74 or 80 mins. I'd also be concerned with how many records I could fit into the demo before time expired. To ensure that I did not cut things off prematurely I'd end the "mix" no later than 30 seconds before my max allowed time (-00:30).
Another aspect is centered on "crowd control" and psychology but is rooted in pure math, and that's the tempo of the songs. My specialty is playing in the dance clubs where I can beat-mix (club mix) records by blending records of the same beat all night. Sounds simple, but it really is not. This is because of the tool that mix DJs must use: the beat count(BPM). The BPM is represented by the number of times a beat is stuck in 1 minute. For instance, a tempo of 124 BPM means that in 1 minute a beat is struck 124 times - this is my favorite tempo. Some records are slower while others are faster, and that is where one of a few decisions gets made. In my experience, the crowd and the theme of the venue determines the tempo that I play records in. If I have a crowd that likes the tempo slower then I can maybe play my 124 BPM records at the normal speed. My records that are 125 BPM could match the tempo with almost no problem , but if I have a 127 BPM record I'd have to adjust the "pitch shift" on the turntable to a slower speed and "convert" the 127 to a 124. Conversely, if I need to play at a faster tempo I could be playing at 128 BPM and I would have to shift some of my slower records to the faster tempo.
So, there you have it. I had always known that there would always be a use for math, and now that has been greatly amplified. The next time I get into a situation where someone questions the need for math or where it can be used I can simply say that it's not just used in business - it's used in entertainment also."
Note: my instructor will be using my "blog" for future classes...</p>

<p>Today I am leaving town for a business trip that will last approximately 7 weeks. During that time I will not be hosting my internet radio shows, “Pryme Vektor” and “Soul Revival” on Jerseydjs.com. In the place of “Soul Revival” you can expect to hear more dynamic music courtesy of DJ FM, and the “Baby Powder Sessions” in the extended mix. “Afterhours (a deep house session)” on UtahFM.org will not be hosted by me either; however, there will be coverage by a substitute DJ. As always I encourage you to check out any of the shows on Jerseydjs.com as well as UtahFM.org – there is a wide range of cool music just waiting to be heard!
I’ll be back at the helm on July 24th.</p>

<p>There comes a time in the course of a radio show when the host is at the mercy of the vibe of the show and the show takes on a life of its own. This is that time for SOUL REVIVAL. Since 2008 the Spotlight Mixes have been focusing on Chicago artists, largely due to Chicago being my hometown. This time the House drive will take us to New Jersey, where historically the vibe has been just as deep and vibrant as in Chicago. For two hours I intend to intrigue, amaze and simply overwhelm you with the seriously deep sounds that were produced by this master innovator of the House scene. His name is synonymous with pure genius. I invite you to join me as we take a “journey into sound”.
Tune in via www.radio.jerseydjs.com on Saturday May 2, 11PM – 1AM, EST, when I will play jams by the one and only KERRI “KAOZ 6:23” CHANDLER!</p>

<p>After a lengthy absence it is now time for another Spotlight Mix on SOUL REVIVAL. This time I will eliminate the suspense and simply state that the subject of my mix is a Chicago living legend and original member of the Hot Mix 5: Ralphi Rosario. He’s been the maestro of the decks and the remix for a number of years and his name is relevant worldwide. My mix will include some favorite gems.

<p>I bring great news! I am now able to broadcast the internet radio shows – starting this Saturday with “Soul Revival”. My PC issues have been resolved, although at a price (same result as before-files wiped out); as stated before I will persevere and move on. The process of moving on begins with the next internet radio show. Posted below is a reminder of what I have in store:
This month’s Spotlight mix will be a very special one. The subject of this mix is yet another House Music icon. This producer was responsible for some of the most influential and enduring House tracks, some of which became “anthems”. He was among the first to incorporate “real” instrumentation and songwriting, thus giving more credibility to the House Sound. [For the old school Househeads, his sound should be instantly recognizable] On a personal note, I must add that another reason for my excitement about presenting this mix is that he and I have the same alma mater: Lindblom Technical High School, in Chicago IL (this makes the second Spotlight Mix featuring a fellow alumni – Steve “Silk” Hurley being the first).
For this month’s Spotlight Mix I will be playing some of the deepest House jams produced by:
MARSHALL JEFFERSON.

<p>Foundation Mix – January 2009
In 1999 I had an idea. It was actually more of a dream: “If I were to have a club, how would I present my music and in turn, ‘brand’ my product?” As I put my ideas onto paper I wanted to be sure to cover three main areas: music styles, musical expression and target audience. The clincher: “…the people who understand the music are those who are elegant but have the willingness and readiness to sweat on the dance floor. They are considered to be a “mature” audience. These people are not afraid of the repetitive beats and rhythms, because they know that he beats and rhythms lead to something. They are not afraid of hearing something different from what is on the radio. They know how to party to soulful dance music. They are House People!” This concept/dream became “SOUL REVIVAL”.
In 2000 I recorded a promotional mix CD. This was a new adventure for me, and in order for me to capture the essence of my expression of House Music I gave the mix CD the appropriate title of “SOUL REVIAL”. During the next six years I recorded ten more volumes.
In 2006, only four months after recording Volume 11 of the “SOUL REVIVAL” mix CD series, I launched my internet radio show via Jerseydjs.com. At the risk of sounding clichés, “the rest is, as they say, history”. “SOUL REVIVAL” as an internet radio show began on Sep 9, 2006.
For the New Year I am presenting the SOUL REVIVAL “Foundation Mix”; with this mix I will be presenting the elements that I have always believed to be the true essence of House Music: (70s/Soul/Disco/Funk/Mainstream/Gospel/Vocals/Jazz/Blues/Percussion/Afro).

<p>Friends,
The latest news:
Even though my computer access has been restored I am not yet connected to the Jerseydjs.com site in the way that will allow me to resume my internet radio shows. Once I get reconnected I will be back in effect. I will be sure to inform you once that happens. In the meantime you can still check out all of the other shows on Jerseydjs.com. The roster of DJs is a real treat for the ears!
On a somber note, I was finally able to determine that many of the lost files are irretrievable and are gone forever. Most people would be seriously heartbroken by such news, and for a moment I was one of those people. I then compared the occasion to that of having other possessions “taken” from me, such as when my house was broken into several times during my tenure in England. I also thought about the time when I mailed some records to my APO address from my Chicago address and half of them mysteriously disappeared when the mail was damaged. During these two times (and several others) I had to simply recover/renew what I could, forget about my permanent losses, and move on. Once again I am forced to repeat that pattern of behavior. I was only able to recover a handful of files, so now I must renew what I can. Next, I must cut my permanent losses. I have already done that so the final step is for me to move on with life. In short, the loss of files was a mere inconvenience to me since I do have to start things from scratch. However, with Thanksgiving right around the corner I can say that I still have more than most people – the list of blessings can get lengthy if I really let it!
One final note: just know that with the insights I just gave, the internet radio shows will be even better than before!</p>

<p>Friends,
Here is the latest update on my computer drama:
I am now able to acces the computer again. I can get into Windows and check emails again. However, I still have a long way to go in terms of re-establishing my lost/damaged files. With my regular daytime duties keeping me busy my only option for getting this done will be on weeknights and weekends. I am hoping to be back up and ready to entertain you via the internet radio shows on the 18th of November with Pryme Vektor and on the 22nd of November with Soul Revival.
Wish me luck!</p>

<p>Friends,
It is with regret that I must announce that the "Pryme Vektor" and "Soul Revival" internet radio shows on Jerseydjs.com will be not be airing until further notice. My computer crashed and I lost ALL of my files.
I will send another notice once I get up and running again.</p>

<p>After a short respite from SOUL REVIVAL it’s time for another Spotlight Mix, this time at the end of the month. This time I will be showcasing a person whom I consider to be an unsung hero in the Chicago House Scene. As a young child growing up in Chicago I was exposed to House Music via radio stations WBMX, WGCI and WKKC. These stations always played the hottest jams. There are a large number of tracks that, when heard, will always generate the same reaction as when I first heard them. This person was responsible for quite a few of ‘em! The production style was usually recognizable because of these elements: heavy bass, thumping beats, and a warm, soulful sound.
It is now time to reveal this mysterious figure…

<p>Once again it is time for another Spotlight Mix for the SOUL REVIVAL mixshow, and for September “school will be in session”. The subject of this spotlight mix is something of an icon in the Chicago House Music scene. He is an accomplished DJ, producer and remixer. He also has that talent that very few DJs possess – vocalist! In other words, he’s the total package. With that thought it should hopefully be easy to narrow down who the spotlight will shine on this Saturday; however, I shall end the suspense right now!
On September 6, 2008, 10PM – 12AM, EST, I will play some of my favorite tracks by the Minister of Sound: RON CARROLL.

<p>I have just been inspired! This week’s SOUL REVIVAL offering will be yet another first for me as a DJ. This time around I will present Chicago classics from the “Jacking Zone” - that time in Chicago’s House Music history when ‘Jack’ was in the air and on the airwaves. I had presented Chicago classics in the past, in the form of mixed CDs but this time will be different. I will attempt to literally hot-mix the records, as was done back in the days of the Hot Mix Five, the Master Mix Six and Friday Night Audio (Chicago ‘heads should remember). With a two hour slot, there is no telling how many records I can fit in – I currently have up to 50 lined up and ready to blast. This should be a night no one will forget (especially me)!
On August 30, 2008, 10PM – 12AM, EST, I will JACK YOUR BODY!

<p>I was away for a month in my hometown of Chicago, with the intention of enjoying some vacation time. I managed to do so and now that I am back to work (on the Soul Revival mixshow, that is) I must continue with the spotlight mixes. The offering for August is one that I would consider to be an encore since this person had already been on showcase in 2007. It is only fitting that the mix be done shortly after his birthday. A lot was said preparatory to the Spotlight Mix in 2007, so now all I will state is that he'll be another year older and no worse for wear musically.
August 16, 2008 is the date, 10 PM - 12 AM is the time, www.radio.jerseydjs.com is the location, and The "Legendary" Terry Hunter will be the focus of Soul Revival.

<p>The Spotlight Mix for July promises to be another amazing set. June’s mix featured music touched by a Grammy nominee – this time I will feature a Grammy winner. He (in the same fashion as June’s spotlighted artist – Steve “Silk” Hurley) has worked with some of the biggest names in R&B music: Zhane, CeCe Peniston, Brownstone. More recently he has been consistently linked to R&B group Destiny’s Child and Gospel group Mary Mary. With these artists on his discography it becomes more evident that he needs no introduction…
On July 5th, 2008, 10PM – 12AM EST, I will profile music that has been touched by none other than the Grammy winner: MAURICE JOSHUA.

<p>The Spotlight Mix for June will be a continuation of House Music summer madness. This time I will shine the light on another living legend. Some of the tracks I will play will be instantly recognizable while others could be a surprise – in terms of this individual’s association with the tracks. This man is responsible for some of dance music’s most incredible offerings. I am personally proud to say that he and I are alumni of the same high school in Chicago: Lindblom Technical High School. This is significant (especially for the Chicago heads) because this was one of those schools where a large majority of the student body was a fan of House Music. To have this person be alumni is, simply stated, huge! He became the dance music “wrecking ball” in the early 1990’s, at the time when House Music began to gain national attention. The timing could not have been better since he gained prominence by remixing the hits for some of the biggest names in the game (Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul, CeCe Peniston, and Prince, among others).
On June 7, 2008, 10PM – 12AM, the spotlight shines brightly on the four-time Grammy nominee: STEVE “SILK” HURLEY.

<p>May is one of my favorite months of the year. There’s Mother’s day, the ushering in of springtime weather, and my birthday. The anticipation of my birthday begins on day one and continues right up to day twenty-seven. Three days into the month I will shine the spotlight on a staple in the music world. This team has been a major player in the Chicago scene and came to the forefront in the 1990’s. Their creative genius was evident in the House genre – but R&B benefited as well.
On May 3, 2008, 10PM – 12AM, the birthday anticipation explodes with my Spotlight Mix featuring CLUBHOUSE ENTERTAINMENT.

<p>Friends,
This Tuesday, the 15th of April, will be a nice one. Although the PRYME VEKTOR mixshow is usually reserved for genres other than House I'm doing a special set. I will be entertaining requests for any of those old school classics that you may not have heard in a while (this is for those 80's/90s heads). If you're going to be in the chat room you can hit me with your requests, and if I have them I'll attempt to put them on. If you won't be in the chat room you can hit me with your requests now and I'll try to pull them over the weekend and play them on Tuesday. Either way, I have no plans for the show on Tuesday except to play the classics from the 80s and 90s and whatever you request.
I might do a hot mix - I might not! We'll play this by ear!
One other note: since this is an old school theme I will be using the vinyl...

<p>Once again it is my pleasure to give a foretaste of the upcoming Spotlight Mix for the Soul Revival mixshow. This DJ hails from the North Side of Chicago, where the House scene rivals that of the South Side. His sets are always tight and his sound is unique. When he is behind the decks you’re sure to have a rockin’ house! On April 5, 2008, 10PM – 12AM, I will be saluting one of Chicago’s finest: LEGO.

It is only appropriate for me to highlight this musical icon during Black History Month. Everyone knows that in order for a door to be “burst” open sacrifices have to be made by others. The subject of my specials is a result of those sacrifices and, as a benefactor, was able to become a musical force to be reckoned with. Next Tuesday night get ready to take notes, as I start at the beginning and present the first Black-owned “major” record label: MOTOWN.

P.S. Special “shout out” to Uncle Buddy – the Motown expert (and #1 Smokey fan)! I may not be able to present all of the hits, but I must thank him for the inspiration for the show’s theme.</p>

<p>Saturday’s Soul Revival mixshow will be a very special treat. I will be spotlighting a Deep House icon, and personal House Music hero. This DJ/producer/remixer has been on the scene since the late 1980’s. Ever since his first record was released (in 1990) his name has been one to be noticed. In my opinion 1994 was one of his best years production-wise, for there are a number of projects from that year that I consider as “timeless”. Through the 1990’s and even into the 2000’s his sound has always maintained a soulful base, running the spectrum from deep house to afro-centic. His sets have been legendary – the crowd was always taken on a musical journey! It is only fitting for me to begin Black History Month with a living legend such as this world-renowned Chicago-based DJ. For the Spotlight Mix I will be playing my favorite records that have been produced/remixed (given the “Midas Touch”) by this individual – don’t sleep!
Feb 2nd 2008, 10PM – (?), EST

<p>I have just secured a new internet radio show. This show will feature music from a wide range of genres and time periods. I will also be hosting the show as my alter ego, Optymus Pryme. Furthermore, it will be a “themed” show (for the debut show I will be playing Break-dance classics; for the next show I will feature New Jack Swing). Pryme Vektor will debut on Feb 5, 2008, from 10 PM - Midnight, Eastern Standard Time. The hosting website will be www.jerseydjs.com. Just click on "live radio" and I will be there.</p>

<p>Next Saturday will be the first Soul Revival mixshow for 2008. I felt that 2007 was an amazing year for House Music, and 2008 looks just as promising. With that being said it is once again time to shine the spotlight on a House Music entity. The subject of this Spotlight Mix is a name synonymous with the word “legend”. This person’s name is known worldwide and for good reason. His DJ sets are often talked about, and his remixes are simply astounding. He is credited as one of the pioneers of the Chicago House Scene of the 1980s.
On Jan 12th, 2008 the spotlight will shine on the one and only: FRANKIE KNUCKLES

<p>This Saturday will be the last Soul Revival mixshow for 2007. Those of you who are dance music lovers would agree that 2007 has been phenomenal in terms of House Music. I had high hopes at the start of the year and my expectations have been met and then EXCEEDED. The upcoming show will be a mix of the tunes that “did the job” for me through the course of the year. While it will be sad for me to see 2007 come to a close the good news is that there are still some 2007 records that have yet to be released (only 7 days left, plenty of time), and once they are released they can carry over into the New Year! Join me online this Saturday (29th of December) and let’s bring in the New Year with SOUL!

<p>This Saturday (Dec 22nd)will be a special session to honor a special individual. It’s been nearly one year now since the passing of JAMES BROWN. Tune in this Saturday as I lay down some serious tracks from the Godfather of Soul, Mr. Dynamite, The Hardest Working Man In Show Business, Soul Brother #1, and musical icon!

<p>This Saturday will be the THIRD CONSECUTIVE Spotlight Mix (yep, once again I’m doing the unthinkable). This time around you, the listening audience, will have an opportunity to go back in time and take a trip with me down memory lane.
(House) Musically speaking seven has been an excellent number:
1977 – At the Warehouse in Chicago obscure disco was being played by DJ Frankie Knuckles. Of course no one knew what would happen years later…
1987 – House Music (by-product of Disco) took over Chicago and soon began to spill out of the US.
1997 – I was fortunate enough to be in the center of the House Music scene during my years in England. London was a hotbed of House Music, and some of the biggest and best DJs in the world were there and playing the hottest tracks of the day.
If you were into the House Music scene in 1997 you must check out the show!
On Saturday the 1st of December from 10 PM – Midnight EST, we will “PARTY LIKE IT’S 1997”!

<p>Saturday will be the second consecutive Spotlight Mix (another feat I have never done). This time I will play tracks produced/remixed by another personal favorite in the House Scene. This person has always been on the cutting edge. His productions have always been very soulful and brought“NYC warmth” to the House Sound. This session promises to be another very special one that you won’t want to miss!
On Saturday the 10th of November from 10 PM – Midnight EST, the spotlight will shine on TOMMY MUSTO.

<p>Next Saturday I will do something I hadn’t done since 1999. I will lay down my records in a spontaneous hot mix (unrehearsed). My usual procedure is to prepare for each show by selecting the records that I may want to present, then on the night of the show I play them until my time expires. This time I will select my records on the night of the show. This will add to the “club feel” for the night, especially since I do my best work “on the fly”. I can guarantee that you will clap your hands, stomp your feet, yell and scream, and do everything else that you do to soulful house music.
THIS WILL BE ONE SHOW THAT YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS! MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW…

<p>This Saturday will feature a very special Spotlight Mix. I’ve been laying together the tracks to present this mix for some time now, and finally the moment is near. This extended mix will showcase tracks remixed, performed, or produced by my favorite DJ in the WORLD. This man has been all over the world and back (and is likely to be somewhere traveling at this very moment). He was recently crowned as a Chosen Few DJ in his (and my) hometown of Chicago.
On Saturday the 29th of September from 10 PM – 2AM, EST, the spotlight will shine on The “Legendary” TERRY HUNTER!

<p>One of my favorite DJs - Mark Grant - will be making an appearance in Salt Lake City on April 27th. Of course I will be checking him out. In honor of this world-renowned House Music ambassador, I will be spinning a "special" Spotlight Mix this Saturday, April 28th. Make sure to tune in, as this mix will be different in that I will play "on the fly" (I will play straight from the crates).

<p>Mark your calendars for April 14th! This date will be the next Spotlight Mix for Soul Revival, and it will be a pleasure to present it to you. The featured “artist" is a producer, remixer, and he’s the one DJ who I always refer to as “the most ‘American’ British DJ I know of”. I saw him spin records plenty of times and I always admired the way he carried a night. Some of my fondest memories of living in the UK involve being near this man.
Saturday night from 10 PM – 12 Midnight, EST, the Spotlight will be cast on CJ Mackintosh!

<p>I have just completed a demo CD entitled "Deep Soulful House Mix". A the title imples, it is a mixture of Deep House as well as Soulful House. This mix was intended to be given to event promoters/club owners, but I am also game for sending it to fellow deep/soulful house DJs. If you like the smooth stuff then this CD is for you. Hit me up, send me an address and I can get this mix out to you. Perhaps we can network-I spin in your town, and you spin in mine...</p>

<p>This Saturday (25th of November) I will be covering for a fellow Jerseydjs.com jock, resulting in an extended set for Soul Revival. It will be the "Old School Special": five hours of nothing but the Old School jams from the 70s and 80s. James Brown, the O'Jays, Funkadelic, and many others will be featured - and all unmixed, so that you may hear the songs in their entirety. I want to basically pay homage to the many songs that laid the foundation (bricks) for the music called "House". Let's just say that I decided to diiiiiiiiiiiiig deep into my crates to prepare. This will be a show that you won't want to miss!
