Spinning at Grow Up At Madrone On Feb. 2

If you're in San Francisco come through! I'll be playing boogie, modern soul, disco, etc

Just A Lil' Mellow Something

Well, it's been a long, long hiatus for soulpersuasion, but I'm back now and hopefully will be posting mixes again on a more regular basis. To start off 2011, here's a little mix I did featuring some mellow 70s and 80s (and 10s!) soul gems. Nothing to shatter the world but great music nonetheless, and certainly in sync with the summery nautical theme represented in the photos. To listen just click on the post title, or right click to download.

Site Specific: More 45 Treats From The Bay Area

Here's a little follow up to my The Bay Is Deep mix from last year. Whether we're talking funk, northern soul, r&b, spiritual jazz, modern soul or vocal jazz (all of which this mix touches on), the Bay does it right (if not a little bit different).

Dirt In The Keytar

And now for a little peak into my boogie and modern soul collection, left-field style. Hats off to all the DJs who can mix flawlessly, because I sure can't. But anyway, I'm kind of happy with how this came out, minus a couple rough patches. To listen, just click on the title. Oh, and if the tracklist is a little too small to read, just click on it and it will make it a bit larger.
