Lunar Soul, by way of an introduction to my new radio home: SoulandJazz.com.
“In our last episode we were clearly feeling the funk… and now de ting continues”
The lyrics of a track by the stellar 70’s / 80’s disco funk band Kleeer, which I used as a jingle on my first ever radio show on the BBC back in the day. It feels fitting to revive that line, as I return to radio, after my delightful three decades plus at the Beeb.
‘Do something you love – and it won’t feel like work’, pretty much sums up my gratitude at being able to share select sounds and songs from now and then that move me lyrically, spiritually, emotionally and groove-a-licious-ally. NB, I do know it’s not a real word by the way, but it’s used deliberately to signpost my desire to have fun doing this, while being super serious about the standard of selections that I signpost to you on this wonderful platform, which I’m very pleased to call my new radio reside.
“Music is my life and the world is a dancefloor”… Elements of Life, 2023
Expect Lunar Soul musical meanderings embracing mesmerising goodness, Brazilian Bossa Nova–ness… scintillating Salsa/Latin Jazz sweetness, to the retro ‘groovy get-down goodness’ of my early pirate radio 'Connoisseur Cuts' show era on Globe FM, spinning under my long time DJ moniker, 'DC'… to the ‘Sassy Soul, Juicy Jazz, Flamboyant Funk, tinged with Rare Groove Pizazz mantra of my 15 year Saturday night BBC slot, presenting ‘A Touch Of Soul’ & 'Dj Delights'...Total - that was then, to this is now–ness. Lunar Soul, lets go baby!
Stereo, not stereotypical.
Enjoy!
