From the studios of Radio Nova Lujon to the Sun Rooms, we present two floors of the funky fantastic, from 9pm til 3am on FRIDAY 23RD APRIL.
Exploring the eclectic with the 4:12 session… what’s the ideal length of a track? For this session my selection was based solely on the length of each track! We end up with a sexy, ambient, latinized, funky and soulful 2 hour session… only two tracks are not 4 minutes and 12 seconds in length. Enjoy!

Woops… been a while! Back doing what i love best with a monster funk session, a frenzied crate digging of funk compilations sinks its teeth into this, the ping pong session. Soulful, gritty, soundtrackish funk keeps it funking for over 2 hours! Enjoy! Peace! Great music to play ping pong too…

Africa… the source of all life, the rhythm roots of all music, specially the music we all know and love on jazzdj.co.uk :) i just managed to cut this down to 90 minutes, the brief was simple, any music with Africa related title, album or artist. We def need another session… this one is in the feed only. Enjoy!!! Peace, Happiness and Love for Easter xXx

So here is the reggae session i promised an age ago… the perfect soundtrack to any summer sunshine, chillaxing with the peeps! I love reggae and remember fondly all the dances that i used to frequent, including Jah Shaka at the Rocket in London town… and all the smaller parties (some behind some butchers in Brixton town) and the regular sessions at peeps homes. Am most thankful over the years for all the mixtapes that some of the real reggae heads would splice together for me… In this session we have some seventies reggae and dub sounds in part one followed by some reggae and ska sounds in part two, timed to perfectly fit on an audio cassette old skool stylee, or your iPhone… Enjoy!
