Oh gosh. What a fantastic night of music we had last night. Wednesday saw us launch a new themed radio night entitled “Soul Food“. The mission was to provide a hazy mix of hip hop, funk, soul, and disco cuts, which all the DJs did to the letter. Fantastic stuff. We battled hangovers, bad cables, and general Blunted studio mayhem to get this to you good people, so we’re glad the feedback so far has been really good.

Agent M lazily kicked things off with a mellow mix of soul tracks, drifting into some old time hip hop classics for the sunshine, helping ease the Wray and Nephews induced hangovers that were present at HQ. Next up, Marcus Hurley got his funk on, pumping out some heavyweight breaks, with the inclusion of his “Bargain Bucket” set of tunes that he’s picked up recently, diggin through secondhand shops. Funny, and well executed as always. (with some bloody top tunes from across the years!)

The final set in this little session was brought to you by Doug, and, put simply, it was a pleasure to listen to. High quality, fresh, worldwide hip hop beats mixed to the letter. Tracks from artists such as Roots Manuva, and Lloyd Parks, sweetly blended together as we approached midnight. Spot on.

We’ll be back with a future installment in the Soul Food series in the near future. For now, you can download the entire nights show via our radio page for the next 7 days, and a full tracklisting is below.
