Soul Essence is my regular show that I’ve broadcast over three hundred times on radio. It’s all varieties of house that have some kind of soulful flavour, from old school US garage to the latest soulful and jackin’ house, disco, Latin, deep and everything in between. It’s provided online and on demand and there’s a ton of previous episodes dating back to 2017 when I came back to DJing on Househeads Radio and as I currently am on House FM.

    Soul Essence on House FM - Show 362 - 31st July 2026

    This week, we ease in with terrace warmth and a proper US-garage swing, then roll through soulful house vocals, nineties memories and a few favourites brought nicely up to date. MDA Grooves and JKriv set the tone with Caparica Sunset, Dave Lee gives Our Love that throwback garage feel, and Cafe 432 with Lifford bring the warmth on Symphony. From there, Barbara Tucker and Sounds of Blackness keep the gospel lift high before Evelyn “Champagne” King takes us back with Love Come Down. The second hour opens with Kevin McKay’s vocal-house take on All I Do, then Kenny Thomas and Opolopo lead us into a deeper, disco-tinged stretch. Groove Armada’s Love’s Theme sits right in that sweet spot, Basement Jaxx meet the Isleys on Jus 1 Kiss, and N-You-Up with Mike Dunn and David Penn bring us home with Jack My Body.

    Soul Essence on House FM - Show 361 - 24th July 2026

    This week, we start with warm, summery soulful house on the terrace before heading into a funky room for the second hour. Crackazat brings the shine, DJ Meme gives The Police a fresh lift, and Dave Lee’s Z Mix of Benjamin Diamond adds one of those Y2K-flavoured moments that always gets your tush going. The second half digs deeper with Harry Romero’s treatment of Radio Slave and Kameelah Waheed, then swings through a dubby Chaka Khan cover, Key To Life and Shakedown’s Ibiza-era throwback. ATFC and Inaya Day bring the vocal house feeling before Aidan Bega and Filta Freqs firm things up for the finish. It’s our usual Soul Essence blend of new treats and the classics we love, all mixed up nice and smooth.

    Soul Essence - Show 356 - 7th June 2026

    Soul Essence is back after more than two years away! This one is pure soulful house joy: warm vocals, disco touches, US garage flavours, deep grooves, and a few familiar voices reworked beautifully — from Marvin Gaye and Level 42 through to Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Dave Lee, Sean McCabe, Mousse T. and more. I felt real joy putting this together, it's so nice to be back - hope you feel it too 👊🏻
