Goog Block Mix #18 - OK Jones + Good Block @ The Social

Happy Mondays people. If you're feeling like me you probably can't wait for the day to be over. Too much fun on a Saturday makes for one slow Monday.

Got you a mix today i put together at the end of last week under my more disco and boogie based moniker OK Jones for the London party crew Good Block.

I will be joining the Good Block guys this Friday at the Social on Little Portland Street in central London for an evening of disco, boogie, funk, hip hop and house. I'm going to be bringing just the vinyl to this one as was the case with this mix. Tried to get in as many upbeat dance floor kickers as i could on this so please do have a listen and if you are in London on Friday drop in to the Social for what is looking to be a proper good fun night.

This month see's the MogaDisco crew welcome Lagos hi-life legend Orlando Julius to the party. This being his second ever live show in the UK it is looking to be a very special night. Check out the event details here and on the flyer above. 

 The mix laid down by the MogaDisco residents a few months back features a packing of Nigerian recorded disco and funk jams. Definitely worth a playon the Mixcloud player below.





Rahaan - Live @ MyHouse Leiden 2 punt 3 (02-10-2013)

More fire from the Chicago boogie boss. Now i've posted a few mixes from Rahaan here recently but the man seems to churn out quality mixes like a machine. 



Recently on tour this side of the pond we had the pleasure of having him along to Trouble Vision for what was one serious party. The energy and little known disco, boogie and house brilliance he brings to his sets is second to none. A true gentleman as well. Thought i'd post this latest one as it's another fine example of how a party should be preached too.

Friday Mixtuals - Mr.Smith - Niether Here Nor There Mix

Friday is here people!

Thought i'd pop this dreamy selection up for you as it's sorting out my afternoon perfectly.



The mix is spliced and  lovingly laid down by Mr.Smith. I actually know very little about Mr.Smith and happened to stumble across this mix on a random blog. From what i can dig out he's from Sydney, Australia and residents for Ghetto Boogie. The mix caught my eye due to its serious track listing and the fact it is all mixed from original vinyl. A perfect party starting selection of classic boogie and dance floor funk. The mix is two years old so if anyone knows what Mr. Smith is up to these days let us know. Anyway. Get a listen for yourself and enjoy those weekends.
