The Electric Picnic takes place this weekend in Stradbally in Ireland. I've been to them since the start and usually end of spinning there too. This year i'm not working there but I was trying to convince a few friends who were not impressed with the line-up that it was still very good so I said i'd throw a few tunes down for them. It ended up as a mix that i did live this morning. It's only a few of the acts that are performing so it's far from definitive, but it's mainly my personal taste and mainly music with a bit of soul to it. It contains everything from obscure mixes to obvious classics and hopefully it will keep you company on the drive up and might even get a few spins back in the campsite late at night! Enjoy

Chic are coming to Cork and i've decided to mix up some of my favourite tracks from Nile Rodgers, Bernard Edwards and co. I kept it mainly to their classic era even though I rate plenty of the work they did afterwards too, but you can only do so much in little over an hour! This music is the soundtrack to my life and I hold all of these tunes dear, as in nearly 20 years of djing i've been spinning the hell out of them. I urge you to go and buy all of their albums, if you haven't already. in the meantime, enjoy the some of the greatest music of all time!

Part one of the mix originally recorded for a Valentines Special at one of my Rewind nights in the Bodega about 8 or 9 years ago.

Horrible term, but a good way of describing this one, culled mainly from the 90's

Massive Attack, Attica Blues, DJ Shadow, Air, FishgoDeep with Tracey K, Bjork, Jhelisa, Morcheeba, King Britt, Tranquility Bass, Portishead, Mr Scruff, Rae and Christian feat Veba, Chubby Grooves, Nightmares on Wax and lots more

It also includes a tune I produced with FishgoDeeps Greg and Shane, "Sin's I've Lost, under the Deep South Recodings guise (DSP)

It's not a bad mix!

I've finally got around to uploading this to my podcast!

“This mix is part of RedFM’s Collections series which goes out every Friday night at 11PM and finds various Cork DJ’s playing tunes from their favourite artists. It was an impossible task cutting it down but I put together a hip-hop styled mix that used elements from the jazz, reggae, soul, funk, hip-hop and rock stuff that I was mainly influenced by over the years; obviously, it’s only a snapshot as time was of the essence but it flows relatively well and should work for chilled out listening. There are a million disco, house, latin and indeed hip-hop and soul things that I could have put in but the mix is the best way I could sum up my musical taste in one sitting and I hope you enjoy it. I dedicate this selection to my first baby Lola who was born the day after it was first broadcast, she was on my mind as I put this together and I know she is gonna dig the tunes!” - Stevie G

The legend that is Willie Mitchell passed away last Tuesday. He was an amazing musician and producer for over 50 years and even recently he was making great records. Al Green, Ann Peebles, O.V. Wright, Syl Johnson and many more benefited from his unique southern soul sound, and I love his music so much that I've gathered some of my favourites together in a mix that I broadcast on my Black on Red show last Saturday, paying homage to a musical legend. If you like this please go and investigate further his amazing catalogue and delve deeper into the work of these great singers. Some of this music is well known, while much of it is under-rated and under-recognised, despite heavy sampling from the like sof the RZA. It deserves a wider audience. Willie Mitchell R.I.P.
