c2eMusic Soulful Deep House Richie Haynes

This mix should have really been March 24 as it was recorded during the last show of the month.  However I didn't get round to mastering it until April and it makes no sense to release a mix in April and call it March.I found it difficult to connect with Soulful House and House releases last month.  As a result this mix is mainly deep mixed with UKG.  There are a couple of classics towards the end, one an original, the other another remake, but a very good one.Big shout to Danny J Lewis, hugely underrated in my opinion.  We have three of his tracks in this mix which is a difficult thing to achieve.I have finally started making moves towards production.  It's crazily overdue but I've bitten the bullet so I'm gonna have a crack.  I'll keep you updated on my progress.I'm lucky enough to be closing after the legend that is Victor Simonelli this Saturday @ Boogie here in Sydney.  I grew up listening to his classics in the early-mid nineties so it's a huge honour to be taking over the decks from him.  As you can imagine there will be a lot of crate digging this next week.Finally a big shout out to Luke Una who played an amazing six and a half hour set last night in Sydney.  Incredible ear for music, he had the place rockin' from beginning to end.  Legend.Tracklisting:1: Daniel Knoxville - Weird2: BRS, Venessa Jackson, Scott Diaz - Keeps Me Coming Back (Scott Diaz Dub)3: Danny J Lewis - I Know You Want Me (Extended Version)4: Jesusdapnk, Nelson Cuberli, Homero Espinosa, Cris Herrera - The Song Is Ecstacy (Homero Espinosa - Cris Herrera Remix)5: Frits Wentink - Club Land6: Kostenko Brothers, Rowshaker - Something (Rowshaker Jacked up Dub)7: SpheraQ, Cruize - Momma-s Groove (Original Mix)8: Frits Wentink - Crowd Control9: Bruno Bar, Crackazat - Let-s Have a Good Time (Crackazat Remix)10: Franky Boissy, Corsica One, Jason Merle, Mr- V - Soul Science (Main Mix)11: Miguel Migs, Lisa Shaw - Waterfall (Migs Deposit Box Dub)12: Kostenko Brothers, Rowshaker - Something (Rowshaker Jacked up Dub)13: Off The Cuff, Brian Tappert - Shake (Brian Tappert Extended Rework)14: Miguel Migs, Lisa Shaw - Waterfall (Migs Deposit Box Dub)15: Saison, Mike Dunn, Adrianne Archie - Non Stop (Extended Mix)16: Nicche - Go Home17: Jon Yutani - Marry Go Round (Original Mix)18: Grace Bones - Rhonda-s Groove (Original Mix)19: Bowfingers - Garage Banger (Extended Mix)20: Wallace - Papertrip21: Alec Carlsson, J Paul Getto - Paris Fried Chicken (J Paul Getto Remix)22: DJ Dozia, Kink - Pop Culture (KiNK Mix)23: Phil Fuldner - Fun Fun (Extended Mix)24: Sugarstarr - Back Into Time (12 Inch Mix)25: Tiptoes - Baby Ting (Original Mix)26: Wallace - BB27: Phil Rouge, Nu Ground Foundation - Loop Inception (Nu Ground Foundation Funky Cut Mix)28: Danny J Lewis, Kayleigh Gibson - Such A Shame (Classic Garage Extended Instrumental)29: Turntable Orchestra, Soul Avengerz - You-re Gonna Miss Me (Soul Avengerz Remix)30: Danny J Lewis - Let The Night Take You There (Extended Version)Enjoy!

Here we go with the first mix of 2024.  Half of the tunes have been sitting in my Traxsource basket since January, some since December!  I'll be honest I wasn't feeling the urge to put a new mix out.  The music wasn't inspiring enough.  The radio shows were more nostalgic and I got back into rediscovering my older music and mixes.  I did actually do this mix two weeks earlier on the previous show but my mixer was playing up and causing the tracks to skip which made mixing almost impossible.  The flow wasn't quite right though, a couple of big juicy tracks made an appearance waaay too early.  That was the only change made for this mix.We start off with a tribal feel for the first three tracks before hitting the soulful stuff.  The main body of the mix has that tried and tested rolling, bumpy warm feel that has you involuntarily tapping those toes and nodding your noggin.  There are three great remakes of old classics that I'm sure everyone knows.  I don't normally go in for remakes as they often fall short of the original but these have been done really well.  The chunky part of the mix peaks with Deetron's excellent 'Runnin' with its big piano keys.  We have a longer than usual come down ending with Riva Starr's 'How It Feels'.Lucky enough to be warming up for Lenny Fontana next weekend at the Ivy Pool Club.  This summer has been amazing for the quality of DJs passing through.  Can't wait to see who I get to play alongside in the remaining months before things quieten down over winter.Tracklisting:1: Danilo Braca, Ron Trent - Sïana (Woza Woza) (Ron Trent Remix - Timmy Regisford Edit)2: K-O-D, Afro Wav - Chants From The Motherland (Timmy Regisford Edit)3: Coke Segwapa, HyperSOUL-X - Phumelela (Timmy Regisford Edit)4: Ezel, Rona Ray - Take Me Home (Original Mix)5: Yvvan Back, Martina Budde - Hello Traveler (Extended Mix)6: DJ Steaw - In My Body-s House (Original Mix)7: Crackazat - Tiger-s Eyes8: 2Sleep - Soulful House Music (Original Mix)9: Mij Mack - Vibes All Night10: Matt Gillespie - Shake It (Original Mix)11: Milton Jackson - Peace Of Mind (Extended Mix)12: Crackazat, Dam Swindle - Demucha (Dam Swindle Remix)13: MF Productions - To The Beat (Original Mix)14: DJ Romain - Gettin It- (Vocal Mix)15: Antoine Clamaran, Lulu Hughes - Feel It (Jay Vegas Classic House Extended Mix)16: Opolopo - Stroke My Disco (Fouk Remix)17: Michele Chiavarini, The Jazzcodes - Jazz Was Dancing (Saison Extended Remix)18: HP Vince - I Am Everyday People (2024 Jackin- Mix)19: Evan (UK) - My House (Original Mix)20: Stratford Toney - I Miss You (Original Mix)21: Deetron - Runnin22: Groove P - Are They Real (Extended Mix)23: Corrado Alunni - Turn The Boogie (Radio Edit)24: Riva Starr - How It Feels (Extended Mix)Enjoy!

Longer than normal mix this month.  Music shopping was slow after searching soulful house, garage and deep house and I was starting to worry.  Then along came house and everything changed.  I went from having not enough music for a show to way too much.  It took longer to download and I ended up being 10 minutes late for the start of the radio show.  I played longer to make up for it and so we have a mix that's 2hr 18m long.There is a lot of energy in this mix because of the extra lashings of house.  The chatroom was busy and there were great listener numbers on the outside, everything just came together.Remakes are the big thing in the house scene right now with many 90's and 00's classics getting another run with remixes by newer producers.  There are a few in the mix, you'll recognise the vocals at least.I've started releasing on Soundcloud again with a paid subscription so no limit to how many mixes I can host there.  If the you like your music streaming orange then I got you covered.  www.soundcloudcom/c2emusicRemember to like my FB page to stay up to date with gigs, mixes and hot tracks - www.facebook.com/c2emusicIf Insta is more your thing you can follow me @richiec2emusichaynesIf listening on Mixcloud or Soundcloud please like and repost - it helps others discover the mix.Upcoming gig in Sydney on Dec 2nd at Ivy Pool Club again.Tracklisting:1: Milton Jackson - Remember2: Dope Demeanors, Jame Starck - Through Your Window3: Kid Fonque - 2Sides (Crackazat Remix)4: Nathan G - Sanctuary ft Bretagne (Unreleased Full Moon Mix)5: Dam Swindle - Minor Fools6: Eric Kupper - Not Today7: House Gospel Choir, MORGAN (UK) - Angels (Crackazat Remix)8: Key To Life ft Kathleen Murphy - Find Our Way (Breakaway)(Marc Cotterel Plastik Factory Extended Vox)9: Raffaele Ciavolino - Love Is10: Oden - Fatzo, THEOS, Noa Milee - Fly Away11: Hart - Neenan - Break Away12: Urban Blues Project, Mother Of Pearl, Pearl Mae - Your Heaven (I Can Feel It)(Micky Moore & Andy Tee Extended Mix)13: Jame Starck, Yvvan Back, Zetapunk, Alfred Gerald - He's Alright (David Penn Extended Mix)14: Oscar G - Out Of Your Mind ft Fleur De Mur (Harry Romero Extended)15: DJ Oji - The Good Ol' Dayz (DJ Oji's Groove And Bang Mix)16: Mark Knight, Green Velvet, James Hurr - The Greatest Thing Alive (Extended)17: T-Markakis, Alex Peace - Bring The Groove Back18: Tiptoes -Hi On Ya Luv (Extended)19: The Agenda  Versatile (Jay Vegas Event 201 - Remix)20: Zetbee - Twisted21: Word Of Mouth UK - It Ain't Easy22: Una Mass - I Will Follow (Full Intention Club Mix)23: Matt Moore - Coming Back To You24: Mochakk - Jealous (Extended)25: Ian Carerra - Play 4 Today (2023 Rework Extended)26: Adam Nyquist - Disco Magic27: Francis Scarlino - My Ways (Sebb Junior Remix)28: KT Brooks, Libby Jones - You Are Beautiful (Wipe The Needle House Remix)Enjoy!

This is the recording from the RFOX VALT VR club event I did on the 27th October.It's essentially a virtual nightclub in the middle of a virtual world created by Sydney based RFOX.Anyone can come along, especially for anyone with an Oculus headset.I'm looking forward to doing future events and I'll keep you posted on my FB & Insta accounts (www.facebook.com/c2eMusic & @richiec2emusichaynes).It's a short sprint of a mix at just an hour but I still managed to pack plenty of goodness inside.The opening track is one I remember from back at the start of my clubbing days in the early 90's.It was a popular last track of the night because of the way it opens.  They sadly don't make em like this anymore.Next event for me is in Sydney on 24th November.  I'll confirm the venue closer to the date.Tracklisting:1: Clivilles & Cole - A Deeper Love (A Deeper Feeling Mix)2: Jaegerossa - Side of Soul3: Morttimer Snerd III - Here I Come4: Ron Hall - Talk To God-Bout It (Spen's Sunday Service Re-Edit)5: Rosenhaft - Wish6: DJ Vas - Wizard Funk7: Montefiori Cocktail - Lazy Busy (Spellband Remix)8: Olav Basoski - Streets Of Moscow (Brian Tappert Miami Edit)9: Knee Deep - Gypsy Bucket10: Lexa Hill - Da Hood11: TR-MEET - Dancefloor12: Disko Headz - Starz13: The Brand New Heavies, N'Dea Davenport - I Don't Know Why (I Love You) (Kenny Dope Remix)Enjoy!

This mix was heading in the "for my ears only" box as I didn't get a warm fuzzy at the end of the show.  I wasn't happy with the flow and there were a couple of key clashes that made my bum whistle that little bit higher.However my partner fell in love with it over the following weekend.  She pleaded with me to release it, "it needs to be heard" she said.  I continued to listen to it over and over and as is usually the case it grew on me.At the same time I played a set at a cool swanky rooftop pool club in Sydney and used a bunch of the tracks from the mix.  This time I was very happy with how it flowed and so I had managed to scratch that itch.  As a result I'm excited to get this original mix out as it is quite different to the Boogie @ Ivy session.I am always looking for feedback (not that I get much) and would love to know whether you think I should have kept this mix in the box or not.  Don't worry I won't get upset, but it is nice to hear from others, and I respect your judgement, I mean some of you have been on this journey for over fifteen years now!!!  That blows my mind, I'll be honest.I'm starting to put on regular events in Sydney, so any of you down here can come out and dance to this music with us.  I'm hoping to build a nice little community of people that appreciate this range of dance music, maybe even educate the little ones about life beyond Tech House!Next event - Stanley's on Stanley - 28th October 6-12am.  It's free and I'll be joined by DJ Nycks from Underground Jack and Birmingham's finest Mr Gary Ward of Body People fame.  I believe in a fewer DJ's with more time policy.  It's how it used to be, and it worked better than the one hour rodeo we have these days.  Give us time to settle in and we'll take you on a journey.As always a HUGE thank you to everyone that joins me for the live show on Pressure (Alternate Thursday's 12-2pm UK).  Special shout out to the chatroom crew, you know who you are.Tracklisting:1: Kx9000 - A Kiss (Plage 84 Remix)2: Brendan Moeller - On The Fly3: Elements Of Life - Into My Life (Dub Mix)4: Brooklyn Baby - For The Soul5: Afefe Iku - 8236: Brooklyn Baby - NYC7: Maurice Joshua, DeiSelah - Filled With Love8: gome - Elevator Man (Mike Dunn Blackball Remix)9: Matthieu Faubourg - Dream Frequencies10: Raven Maize, Joey Negro - The Real Life (David Penn Extended Remix)11: Louie Vega - Feel So Right ft Honey Dijon (Tedd Patterson Club Remix)12: Morttimer Snerd III - Here I Come13: Harrison BDP - Small Talk14: Grand High Priest - Jimmy Go Bomm (Grand High Priest Full Mix)15: Tartan - Cynical Gringo16: Matthieu Faubourg - Modern Music For Dreamers17: A-D-O-R  - Young World (Stefano Ritteri)18: Danny Snowden - Energy19: Daniele Busciala, Muzikman Edition - Take Off20: Grace Bones - Back2love21: Genk - Lovin22: Sex-O-Sonique - I Thought It Was You (Full Intention Extended Remix)23: The Journey Men ft Anne-Marie Johnson - Wanna Be Down (Mikki Funk Vox Dub)24: Narf Zayd - Sol Saliente (Mijangos Latin House Remix)Enjoy!

This is a recording of a set I recently played at a really cool rooftop club in Sydney.It was the warm up set, which is perfect because you have the freedom to choose how to go from zero to everyone warming up on the dancefloor.The set is a mix of new tracks that you'll hear in the upcoming c2eMusic podcast for October and some of my favourite tunes of 2023.I'll be playing for Underground Jack at Stanley's in Sydney on Oct 28th.  It's free so no excuses!  It sees me reunited with my good friend DJ Nycks for the first time since Covid closed everything down.  Also joining us on the night are Gary Ward and Chic Daddy DJ.I'll be back at Stanley's again on Nov 24th (Friday) joined by Gary Ward, Steve Robinson and Chic Daddy.  December 2nd I'm back at the Ivy Pool Club again.Tracklisting:1: Brendan Moeller - On The Fly2: Elements Of Life - Into My Life (Dub Mix)3: Brooklyn Baby - NYC4: Brooklyn Baby - For The Soul5: Dutchican Soul - Nine O Nine (Extended Mix)6: Raven Maize, Joey Negro - The Rea Life (David Penn Extended Mix)7: Louie Vega, Honey Dijon - Feel So Right (Tedd Patterson Club Remix)8: Grand High Priest - Jimmy Go Bomm (Grand High Priest Full Mix)9: Morttimer Snerd III - Here I Come10: Joey Negro, Omar - Starlight (GN Extended Mix)11: Jaegerossa - Side of Soul12: Scott Diaz - Dancing Shoes13: A-D-O-R - Young World (Stefano Ritteri Remix)14: Dick Johnson - Into The Groove (String Mix)15: Ralph Session, Mr V - Bounce To This (Underground Mix)16: Tartan - Cynical Gringo17: Sex-O-Sonique - I Thought It Was You (Full Intention Extended Mix)Enjoy!
