Dj Soops neo soul mix (Part 13)



Hi guys, welcome to the bumper edition of my neosoul series, (Part 13).  As I’ve been away for quite a while, I thought I’d give you guys a long set for you to get your teeth into.  I’m excited to say, this set is feature packed, fusing underground soul, hip-hop, electronic funk with a hint of jazz.
Initially, I went through about 60-70 tracks in preparation for this mixtape.  I look at these mixes, almost like a filmmaker telling a story: with a beginning, middle and a big finish.  I’m very happy with the outcome and I hope you guys can feel my enthusiasm, and like me, lose yourself in this great music we call “Soul”.

I’m also planning to drop a remix mixtape featuring some of my exclusives in the next coming weeks, so watch this space.  For now just hit "play" and enjoy the groove....

Veronica Domingues - Out the Door (DJ Soops RMX) Exclusive

A short while ago I received a soulful banger from a sassy talented Toronto singer called Veronica Domingues.  The track was called "Out the Door" and I felt it so much, I had to remix it.  I went through my catalogue of dope instrumentals and I found "Waves" by Freddie Joachim (I'm a big Joachim fan!) and after a couple of turntable spins later, I'm rocking out to a sweet soulful redemption medley.....
Today I dropped the worldwide exclusive on Unity 101 FM's "Notes, Beats & Bars" show.  Big shout out goes to Hadz and So Soulful for featuring my guest mix and interview.  Look out for the Veronica Domingues upcoming project called "Just Chill" It's gonna be fresh.

Soul Movement 2 Album Teaser...Beyond good music?

Looks like it's going to be a good summer...I'm definitely looking forward to Slakah the Beatchild's forthcoming monstrous vibration called "Soul Movement Vol 2". He set the bar way too high five years ago with "Soul Movement Vol 1", but I guess we're in for even more refinement and musical excellence from the soulful producer.  If you're like me, you wont be listening to this teaser once and you'll definitely be scrambling for the rewind when you hear that Glenn Lewis track drop in.... That's just the tip of the iceberg.  With a mouth watering lineup including; Justin Nozuka, Andreena Mill, Tingsek, Spek Won and more, you know what you have to do, my starving soul seekers.  Get your pre-orders in this spring (we're told).  My money's patiently waiting......

Dj Soops neo soul mix (Part 12)

Hi guys, I hope you're enjoying your holidays. This is my last mixtape for an eventful year. 2012 may have been a struggle for some, but there's always some good music to keep us going and keep us alive. So after what seems like a long hiatus, I'm back for my neo soldiers. In the search of perfection I actually recorded it twice lol but I'm happy with the outcome. Its a jazzy and soulful affair mixed with electronic funk, I'ts something you can definitely groove to.... So to conclude, I would like to say a massive thank you for all your continued support for my blog and neosoul mixtape series. Enjoy this one and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!!!!

Get your Dj Soops New jack Swing Mixtape (free DL)

Most of you guys know me for my Neo Soul mixtapes but along with 90s hip hop, I grew up listening to New Jack Swing in the late eighties, early nineties. I loved that "upbeat flavour" and these records still sound as good as ever. Shout out to Teddy Riley the originator and the don of this era and without further ado let's reminisce big time!!!!











Robert Glasper Experiment: Black Radio Recovered - The Remix EP

It Just wouldn't be right if this wasn't on my blog.  This EP is another great piece of work from the masterclass that is: Robert Glasper Experiment.  This is another opportunity to experience some great soul music, If you didn't pick up the full album then you need to, in a hurry.  Here we have 6 more classics songs for you hungry soul heads to devour, including an unexpected Pete Rock remix of the bass driven "Black Radio" and some equally great new remixes by; Questlove, 9th Wonder and Georgia Anne Muldrew.  Before I sign off, I had to mention my 2 favourite cuts here: "Dillalude 2" (Dilla would be proud) and "Twice" (is it me or does that triangle remind you of "The return of the Crooklyn Dodgers" joint)  ....This class of music will transcend my humble years and I know I'll be coming back to it, probably for the rest of my life.  Robert Glasper Experiment.... I salute.
