Episode 261: c2eMusic May 2023

c2eMusic Soulful Deep House

May is a birthday double header in the Haynes house. This year it's a special one as my eldest turns 16 allowing him to drive!! I'm so proud of the young man he's becoming. He really is a chip off the old block, so much so that he has just gotten into vinyl and is now showing interest in DJing and production. He even joined me in the music closet for this weeks show to see how it all works! The mix cover is AI generated pics of Bailey as a wee baby.
The other birthday is mine as I head towards the mid century award. This time it's 48, a number that sounds a LOT older than I feel (and look :)) .
The mix opens with two classics from the early mid 90's. The first is Gigolo Supreme aka Frankie Feliciano with Gigolo's Anthem. The second is the classic Strictly release "The Theme" by Loop 7, non other than Satoshi Tomiie! We come back to the present but in the same vibe building slowly across the first hour.
The second hour has much more urgency about it with more of a UK garage flava, The intensity continues to build until we get to a mental track by DJ Dove. I can't stop singing "Bussit" and I've only had it just over 24hrs. The mix signs off with another track paying homage to the past. This time it's Mood II Swing's "Do It Your Way" being honoured. A track that I can still remember hearing for the first time back in the UK in 02, some six years after it's initial release.
I always do my mixes on the fly with new barely heard tracks these days. It creates a real adrenalin rush because I just don't know if the next track will keep the mix heading in the right direction. I am hearing the mix and the tunes for the first time like everyone else listening. It often makes me worry that this is the month I'm not able to put out a mix out I'm happy with, and this month I had little faith until maybe 20 minutes in.
In the end I had nothing to worry about. By the end of the show I knew I had a great little mix, but after hearing it back a couple of times I feel really proud. I've done this so many times now I almost take it for granted which would be wrong. I'm grateful to be able to keep doing this and keep finding wonderment and happiness in the journey and output.
That there are people all over the world that also share a love for the same vibe and are able to share a connection through this music is humbling and one of the things that keeps me going.
So thank you again for your continued support, downloading and hopefully getting as much pleasure listening as I do creating.
