Dig Deep Mix Series - #7 Darryl Marsden (Ghetto Child)

We continue the Dig Deep Mix Series with an exclusive mix from respected DJ and selector Darryl Marsden.

Darryl's Manchester based Ghetto Child club night is a celebration of all that’s good about disco, funk, soul and soulful house music. With a huge nod to the golden era of the 70’s and 80’s, whilst not forgetting the more contemporary incarnations of the soulful sound; just one year in, recent masters of the game to play at the club include Al Kent, Rahaan, The Mighty Zaf, Derrick Carter, and Norman Jay.

Dig Deep Mix Series - #6 Shaun Funkyginger Foran (Regrooved)

We continue the Dig Deep Mix Series with an exclusive mix from crate digger Shaun 'Funkyginger' Foran. Shaun knows a thing or two about sought after 45s from funk and soul music's rich history. His musical knowledge is the kind that can only be gained through years of experience routing through dusty shelves, and his trusted box of 7"s is home to both classic breaks and little heard gems.



Ever keen to share his love for the music, Shaun has played at the likes of Beatherder, Solfest, The Vintage Festival, North Lancs Soul Festival, and Reboot at Night and Day in Manchester. Shaun is co-host of Regrooved which takes place at The Golden Lion in Lancaster which takes place on the last Saturday of every month.

Dig Deep Mix Series - #3 SNO

Over the years, whilst doing the Dig Deep Radio Show, I have been lucky enough to feature some fantastic and often exclusive mini-mixes from some of the world's most respected DJs and selectors.

Presenting 3 hours a month of radio is great fun, but sometimes you just want the music straight up. That's where the new Dig Deep Mix Series comes in - pure undiluted music from a different guest DJ each time. For DDMS#3 it's my pleasure to welcome SNO to the Dig Deep family.



SNO aka Selina Nongaliphe Oliphant grew up in the township of Bophelong in the Vaal, South Africa. SNO's uncle was the finest collector of Jazz, Soul, Funk, Afrobeat and Disco. "He suffocated me with tune after tune for years. When he sold his collection, I felt loss that I still haven’t felt to date."

Dig Deep Mix Series - #2 Mark Grusane

Over the years, whilst doing the Dig Deep Radio Show, I have been lucky enough to feature some fantastic and often exclusive mini-mixes from some of the world's most respected DJs and selectors.

Presenting 3 hours a month of radio is great fun, but sometimes you just want the music straight up. That's where the new Dig Deep Mix Series comes in - pure undiluted music from a different guest DJ each time. For DDMS#2 I am honoured to present a mix from seasoned crate digger Mark Grusane...

The more I learn about Mark Grusane's history the more I realise how much I don't know. It turns out, what I did know is only the tip of the iceberg.

A pioneer of underground disco and boogie, in his time running the legendary Mr. Peabody's record shop in Chicago, Mark probably handled and heard every disco record that was ever produced in the USA. Knowledge he put to good use when compiling the Night Drive Vol.1 A Journey Into EP and the Real Sound Of Chicago LPs for BBE Records.

Delve a bit deeper into his history and his understated love of digging for and cutting modern soul bangers onto vinyl becomes ever more self-evident. Over the last 10 years Mark has released tracks on Canadian disco re-edit labels Truth Is Light and Spacedust , put out 3 EPs on CG Records Inc, and a deep houser on Amsterdam's Rush Hour.

Dig Deep Mix Series - #1 Colin Tomlinson

Over the years, whilst doing the Dig Deep Radio Show, I have been lucky enough to feature some fantastic and often exclusive mini-mixes from some of the world's most respected DJs and selectors. I hope to continue with that approach for a long time to come...

Presenting 3 hours a month of radio is great fun, but sometimes you just want the music right? That's where the new Dig Deep Mix Series comes in - pure undiluted music from a different guest DJ each time.

For DDMS#1 I am delighted to share a special mix by Scotland based DJ Colin Tomlinson. He's a regular at The Scottish Soulful Weekender, has played at Magic Sun Festival, and is associated with the Jelly Roll Soul club night.

With the promise of a Disco set for his debut mix on this month's show, he has also put together this incredible House mix that I thought was far too good to let go by the wayside.


If this tickles your fancy, be sure to check Colin's Dig Deep on Cowbell Radio mix this Saturday (17/10/15).

Dig Deep House Mix #7

Dig Deep House Mix #7. A freestyle mash up of some of the more interesting house and techno records I have heard over the last year, with a couple of classics thrown in for good measure.

I put this together for a radio show featuring Voc Walters from Chicago. Expect acid house, disco, African and Balearic vibes, drum heavy tracks, bassbin wobblers and Detroit deepness, all rooted in funk, soul and latin music. Recorded in August 2013.

In association with Chicago House Radio and Dig Deep Records.
