Johannes & Torleiv mix 1 – “Funky Sunday Soul”

Johannes Bjelland — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 12:00:20 +0000

Finally got this one up! Me and Torleiv spinning a bunch of soulful tracks – we decided to have a party and record a mix while waiting for the Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings concert later in the evening (which was great btw!), focused on modern soul – early 70s and onward. Our intention was to play music with a Sunny Sunday Feeling, but it got more up-tempo as people started to arrive.

Sorry about the inconsistent sound-levels… We had some trouble with the recording set-up.

Johannes mix 3 – “Soul #1″

My first Ultrafunk post. Yeah! Thanks to my friend, funk & webmaster Rune for putting together this excellent site! Here’s my mix no. 3 – a soulful 45 special this time (the playlist and mix download link is available by reading the full post):

Recorded on one of the coldest days in Oslo for years. Icy, dark and snowy outside, and most sane people are staying indoors. In these circumstances, there is only one thing to do - turn up the heat, pour some smooth liquor in the glass, pull out a batch of records and fire up the living room with some quality soul!

This is the result.

Sorry for the lousy sound quality on some of the tracks… These are all taken from my collection of old, dusty and scratchy original 45 rpm records. Enjoy!
