DJ Moogaloo: Mucky Groovers Mix

This month DJ Moogaloo is playing some rude records at the Mucky Book Club, Hoxton Hall, London, on the 15th November, so thought he might do a mix.

Some of the tunes have people “enjoying” themselves over organ wigouts and funky bass lines  others have double entendre lyrics, I mean is Elvis actually singing about his relationship with a car?

Farmhouse Closure – RPM Dates Cancelled

Terrible news The Farmhouse – Canterbury have had to close their venue following a 24 hour ultimatum for 3 weeks rent from there landlords.

Having spoken with Sean from the Farmhouse he said he was going to try and move the Farmhouse to another venue and would like RPM to feature there.

So for now RPM is without a home, but hopefully we can either move with the Farmhouse or find somewhere new.

Good luck and thanks to all the lovely staff there and everybody who came to our nights there we have had a fantastic time during our residency. Fingers crossed for the future

DJ Moogaloo: Soul Flavoured Jazz Divas mix

This month DJ Moogaloo has really pulled out all the stops and compiled a superb series of mixes themed around female jazz singers making soul records. This is one of our favourite subjects and you’ll hear many of these records played at RPM regularly.

Here is another between the gaps genre, when great female jazz singers get groovy, some just dabble with the odd track, or LP and others like Marlena Shaw sit right in the middle of the two. They do end up with a unique quality soulful sound, often with scatting.

Here are the links for Parts 1 and 2; Part 3 is in the works too, you lucky people!
