Last year, I put together a gospel house mix for Carrie Morgan aka Mama Carrie (amazing mother of R&B singer Tom E. Morgan.)  A year ago, she wasn't familiar with gospel house.  It was then that I put together a monumental birthday Gospel House mix especially for her which is found on this Podcast (May 2008).  Well, she just loved it!  Mama Carrie is a naturally positive and magnetic spirit who says what's on her mind. With her maternal tendency, she finds endearing and loving qualities in everyone and everything she meets. I've witnessed for myself suburban "critters" like squirrels, salamanders and even an abandoned and abused pit-bull find refuge in her comforting energy.   Mama Carrie, a politically astute village-mother to all, phoned in a threatful warning to me in late 2008 leading up to our historic presidential election. Oh, oh, lol.   That boots-shaking warning literally kicks off my latest mix; THE WARNING! Mama Carrie's Birthday Gospel House Mix (Part 2) followed by the soulful sounds of her son, Tom E. Morgan who's chorused by her goddaughter, Sandra St. Victor. Enjoy! PLAYLISTMama Carrie's "Warning""Rise Up Don't Wait" - Tom E.

The Story Behind Momma Carrie's Gospel House MixThis just shows that house music can be enjoyed by all, no matter what age, lol. :))Momma Carrie (of Dallas, Texas) is the 80+ year old Mom of Tom E Morgan (some may know him from Myspace). He has told me so many amazing and unbelieveable stories about his Mom that I jumped at the opportunity to speak with her on the phone and find out if these stories were true, lol...I can't remember if she admitted to them or not but I was very impressed by our conversation.A very outspoken and strong woman...with a very warm heart.Her birthday passed recently and I wanted to do something special for her. Why not give her a personalized house cd? So I asked Tom E if he thought that was a good idea. He said "Heck yeah", she would love it since she likes to "drum" along with music that she likes..So, I took a deep breath and came up with a mix that I thought she might like.But in my excitement, I forgot to make a copy of it before I added the voice messages so it is truly an original....Anyway, she loved it, - and especially the song where" the man was beating the hell out of those drums" (her words), lol...and told her other son that he needed to learn to play his drums like that for their church services...As I write, the cd has been burned over and over and has been passed among the friends and family members of the Morgan family so that they can have an introduction to gospel house and share Momma Carrie's exclusive gospel house cd..I guess you're never too old to appreciate house music. Happy Birthday Momma Carrie!!:)

When DJ Matt Matrix (Red Pill Sessions) suggested we do a gospel house mix together, I jumped at the chance.  I've heard his house mixes and felt honored!  So here it is, a New York/New Jersey mix of uplifting gospel house music.. Here's a little something about Matt Matrix. Matt Matrix starting DJing at the age of 14 after being inspired by listening to the 98.7 Kiss FM Mastermix shows in the mid 80's performed by legendary DJs, DJ Red Alert, & The Great Tony Humphries. He was determined to do whatever it took to support his passion for playing music, doing everything from working summer jobs to shovelling snow to get money to buy DJ gear. After becoming known locally, Matt Matrix would play various college jams for schools such as Trenton State College, and The University of Virginia where he performed at events for the Alpha Kappa Alphas. Matt Matrix was resident DJ at Club Ronnie's in Newark, NJ and the Ramada Inn Hotel in Wayne, NJ. Now with over 20 years of experience and countless events under his belt, Matt Matrix is focused and passionate about music as ever. He now has his own production company, Red Pill Productions with projects in the works.

Let me introduce you to Thomas "DJ Peace" Spann, who cut his teeth as a dj in the early 80's during the explosive beginnings of Chicago House Musicâ.As a teenager, he came to the attention of Steve "Silk" Hurley, who heard him play at a friend's party. Steve became Thomas' first musical mentor and would also go on to become one of the most respected and sought after re-mixers in music. Through Steve Hurley, Thomas was introduced to the pioneers of the house music movement that was growing in Chicago - Farley "Funking" Keith, Eric"E.T." Taylor. Ron Hardy, and Frankie Knuckles, just to name a few. As an unofficial member of Hurley's "Hot Waxx Productions", he learned various mixing techniques such as remixing, scratch mixing and b.p.m. matching by watching and playing with Steve, Farley and E.T. Soon, he developed his own unique style which incorporated his love for jazz, r&b, rock and world music. It wasn't long, before he was recruited by promoters to appear as a guest DJ on many of Chicago's legendary house sessions held weekly at such venues as The Bismarck Pavilion, the Ascot Hotel, the Blackstone Hotel and other "A-list" venues. By the time Thomas Spann graduated from high school in 1985, he was in great demand, playing on the sets of Ron Hardy, Frankie Knuckles and Andre Hatchett; one of the resident jocks for the Marz Bar on the infamous Rush Street; guest DJ at the Power Plant, Medusa's and Ron Hardy's  Music Box. In 1986 Thomas was approached to headline Club C.O.D., which he did until he decided to join the military in 1987. During his military stint, Thomas was assigned to Germany and served in the first Gulf War. He credits his time in the Persian Gulf for reawakening his"experimental ear" as he listened to the exotic rhythms of the region. Back inGermany, Thomas began experimenting with laying Middle Eastern soundsover percussion to create dance tracks that were played by a DJ friend named Sasha at a local club in Frankfurt. These tracks, which were wildly well received by the crowd, led to Thomas spinning occasional house sets which caught the ear of a club owner and within a few months, DJ Thomas Spann was the headliner at Club Capri in Friedberg and at the Plantation club in Frankfurt. Upon returning to the states in 1994, Thomas DJ'd sporadically in clubs while pursuing higher education at Chicago State University. During this period he hosted and produced his own talk show, "the 411" on WCSU-AM 610; hosted "Ragga Radio", a show dealing with Carribbean issues, and became very active in community affairs. In 2002, Thomas relocated to South Florida, where, bored with the club scene and repetitive sounding djs, he entered - and won - the Battle of the DJs under a new, edgier DJ tag - "Tommy Gunnz". The battle was held at the now defunct "Club Matrix" in downtown Fort Lauderdale in February 2003. Deciding to reinvent himself once again, largely due to the amount of turmoil and violence in our world, Thomas buried "Tommy Gunnz" and has been rocking the world ever since in his latestreincarnation DJ Peace". Thomas has been a featured "guest dj" for Hot 105 - FM's "the Tom Joyner Morning Show Cruise Bon Voyage Party in 2003 and 2004 as well as for "Funk Jazz Lounge" on occasion playing alongside the Brass King and can also be found on decks frequently as a resident for Soul Simple Entertainment (www.soulsimple-ent.com) In addition, Thomas still travels back and forth to Denver, Chicago and Detroit to play. Yeah. he's like a friendly ninja, this DJ PeaceâMaterializes behind that console. Hits us in our head and our hearts withhis mixes - which might start with a movie soundtrack sample and end with a housiefied version of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot"â.Helping us to understand that Ron may be gone, the Twins may have fallen, Larry left the building, but the musicâ. The Musicâ.lives onââââââ You can find DJ Peace at http://www.myspace.com/dj_peace69

I proudly present a mix from DJ Come of Age aka COA - I have nicknamed him "The Man with the Master Plan" for his positive, forward-thinking, innovative, tireless desire to promote the music that he so dearly loves and supports..Soul-stirring neo-soul at it's best.Plus, the fact the he is also a fellow "househead" makes him the perfect guest DJ for the House Sessions podcast...Thank you, COA.  A few words from TMWTMP:)):"A potent mix of music that will immediately grab your attention and touch your soul"The plight of the independent musician has been well documented. Faced with a driving passion to present his craft, stymied by lack of funding and ample resources, many never reach the coveted pinnacle of acclaimed recognition. Dreams deferred, these artisans are left in self doubt and devoid of fulfillment. In a most unorthodox fashion, one man has singlehandedly given the "Unheralded" center stage. DJ Come of Age is a pioneer, a phenom whose vision became a concept all its own. In simple terms, find music which is beautiful and promote it as one. Without boundaries and strained classification he allies himself with stellar, soulful artists from the world over. As a collective of musicians, producers, DJs, poets, and models, the promotion of their works is shared by all."Our love for the music is impetus enough. It's something we live and breathe. In the same way we collect and cherish, we long to share and be heard. The energy once used to "compete" with others is now used to constructively establish ourselves. It's much easier and beneficial to uplift one another than waste time being negative and vain.  The key for us was to target outlets willing to give us an ear. The foundation was already established with each respective fan base so it was easy to grow from there."Listen to the DJ Come of Age podcast now at http://djcoa.libsyn.com . The show is also available on iTunes ."find something you are willing to die for, then, live for it"Let the music live!DJ Come of AgeThe Mixtape

 A soulfully mellow, romantic, house mix by DJ Kinglion - ....You'll definitely enjoy it as much as I did. (Think of dimming the lights and lighting those fragrant candles, bubble bath and a HUGE glass of wine), lol... I asked DJ Kinglion to give us some background info and this is what he had to say: "I have been a DJ most of my life.  My father was my first idol and mentor.  He was a DJ himself  - well rounded in his musical selection of jazz, soul, gospel, reggae and funk- which helped me develop a musical taste for a wide range of music at an early age.... Voices of Aretha Franklin, Ben E. King, Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye (to mention a few) enriched my taste for soulful music." "I started doing parties at age 12, which exposed me to a large audience and to "more music" especially dance music (sounds of the 70's, Philly sounds, disco).  Developing  my skills at this time was essential because the mixer and 2 turntables were now becoming the common tools of djing." "After graduating from high school, my mind was set to become a DJ of world class standards. After doing numerous shows, to as many as 5,000 people, I was now ready to take it global."  "My first serious encounter with house music was listening to Larry Levan at the Garage back in 1985.  That was a new experience.  It opened my ears and heart to new levels.  I was blowing away this moment, and that inspired me to really put roots down.  "House became my home." "After many years of playing and making friends in the music industry, I pursued radio on the advice of a dear friend - doing terrestial radio during the 90's, intro pop, jazz, trance, and progressing into the mix of things.  I did this for 2 years at a NY radio staton. I got bored after doing this and  I hit the road and started promotion and engineering in studios with other DJs and recording artists." "After doing dancehall for some time, I was longing to get back to house music because it was missing from most of what was out here - So I came up with the underground house movement with a few friends." "That lasted for a good 10 years.  It is now a global group of DJs in which a few members at this time are the mainstayers in house music: Tony Humphries, K-Alexi, Dennis Ferrer, etc. I'm proud to say it is still a growing movement that I'm a part of - remaining  humble and loyal to house music." "Now, at my full circle, and now, gaining new friends - I  thank all of the supporters and DJ's who carry the torch of house music ...and u, DJ Renay,  I'm proud to say,  are one of them." "Bless u sista." Thank u DJ Kinglion..I'm honored.. You can check out DJ Kinglion at www.myspace.com/kinglion973

Yes, we had to do it again... This time around we decided to play from our hearts and not agree on one theme.   TommyFixx did a soulfully moving mix and even ventured into some jazzy house.. You go Tommy!!  I was pleasantly surprised when I heard it the first time.  Definitely got a lesson on the Atlanta house groove.   Can you FEEL it? YES!, I CAN :)) I recently fell in love with funky and disco house and that's what my mix contains... Some feelgood, let it all out tracks to awaken that inner househead that lies in all of us.  And you know I had to throw in one gospel track for good measure. DJ (Souly) Soulswede adds his special "Commentary" to the mix and tells you the story of how this all came about.  And he tells it in less than 3 minutes..! A warm hug and thanks goes to DJ Blaq Jaq who pulled all of our parts together into a seamless mix and added his special "Partiology" flava. So, there, you have it...4 people who met on Myspace..

I am extremely honored that DJ Alex Dimitri "South Soul" has agreed to be a Guest DJ on the Soul Sessions podcast.  THANK YOU ALEX!!. When I first heard Alex' tracks, I could not believe that someone from Italy could possess so much soul... still can't believe it and once you hear his gospel house remixes  - you can feel that he really feels it.  Listen for yourself...     HERE IS ALEX' BIO You can also check him out and hear his tracks on www.myspace.com/alexdimitri It can be said of Alexander Dimitri, that he creates an ambiance that makes a lasting impression â always leaving the crowd wanting more. And when itâs all said and done, as the lights go on at the end of the night, the club-heads are rest-assured to still feel his vibe ringing in their ears as they drift off to sleep with a smile. Alex started out as a disc jockey when he was just 14 years old â playing for his peers at various events. It was at that age that he got a taste of the style of music that he truly loved - Garage and Soulful House â and it was at that period of time he became aware of what he was destined to do. Born in Brindisi, Italy, which is located in the âbootâ? of Italy, Alex spent many years perfecting his craft and becoming a celebrity of sorts in his hometown where he would give command performances at numerous âHot Spotsâ?. In 1999, Alex decided to relocate to Rome because he was given an opportunity to headline at such clubs as Mountgay, with the ever-popular DJ Luis Radio from Equal REC, Classico Village, Saponeria (where he had a two year residency every Saturday), Download, Alien, The Woodoo Bar, Villa Coesia, Tatoo, Happening and a host of many others. He also had the honor of receiving invitations to do gigs at the famous G Lounge in Venice and the Club House in Reggio Calabria. Over the past decade, Alex has had the good fortune to perform in some of the most elite venues in Italy and has been invited to be a part of some highly acclaimed events such as the Elements of Life Live Concert that featured Blaze, David Mancuso, Dofmaister and many others. In 2002, Alex decided to move back to Brindisi, where he played for an array of new clubs like Tribeka, Sound Club, Firenight, Vertigo, Menhir, Torre Regina and Le Corniche â continuing his beloved profession. It wasnât until several years later that he decided to get into the producing and remixing aspect of the music field, thereby broadening his horizons and taking his talent to a new level â as many of our top DJs have done. This year has promised Alexâs breakthrough. He remixed the vocals of none other than the incomparable SuSu Bobien â creating a masterpiece that was selected out of hundreds of spec mixes which were submitted to the label, Soundmen on Wax, Ltd., for the Set Free Project. His mix has been released in the United States and overseas and can also be found on Traxsource.com. One of his earlier remix productions in 2006 was with keyboardist extraordinaire Dieghito and lead singer Kika called âThe Italian Style EPâ? which introduced the single âLook at Youâ? â also available on Traxsource.com and has received numerous accolades in each evaluation from various magazines and DJâs alike. Though Alex is busy remixing and producing â he still remains true to his roots and will be spinning at Bobbi & Steveâs party in Miami at the Winter Music Conference 2007 â which in itself is a huge honor. Other DJâs include Ron Carroll â who is an inspiration of Alexâs as well as Tony Humphries. In addition to Alexâs hectic schedule, he entered Gotta Keep Faith Recordsâ remix contest (submissions ended February 15, 2007) and placed in the top five for consideration of a future single release on GKF Records entitled âThe First Time.â? Also, aside from being the new resident DJ at MAVU, that featured other guest DJ's like Louis Vega, Alex will be and branching out to different towns and cities all over the country. As of late, his remixing and productions are picking up with respect to the rework of Mr. Fuzzâ âFirst Timeâ? on GKF Records; NYC Peech Boys on Soundmen on Wax Records; and currently âAsâ? by the legendary Michael Watford also on Soundmen on Wax Records, Equal, Unified "Easy Living" Pevene Everett plus a project with Dieghito(Key) & Kika and the lyrics of Willy Washington. With the many blessed opportunities that have arisen and the many more promised â Alex Dimitri is coming up â and is a fresh talent to watch out for!!!

In this mix, I am playing music that makes you feel good It makes you smile and want to dance and move your feet wherever you may be when you listen to it. I would like to extend my thanks to DJ Soulswede for giving me the opportunity to share with you my love of house music.  Let the party begin:)) Playlist for "Feel Good" Mix 1)   Nite Grooves - Jon Cutler & DJ Romain feat Jeannier Hopper2)   Beautiful (Happy Mix ) - Cece Rogers3)   Searching (Liquid Mix) - Paris Brightledge4)   What Cha Gonna Do - J R5)   I'm Not Systematic - JR6)   Untitled (Stefan Goldmn Remix) - Black Joy7)   The Groovebug - Mario Fabriani8)   Everyday - Joey Washington9)   Here I Am ( DJ Shaheers) Backroom Productions feat Kimara Lovelace10) Sometime (Miguel Migs) - Those Things11) In My Heart (DJ Spen & the Muthafunkaz) - Bobby & Steve feat.

What's Love got to do with HOUSE?? The next podcast will focus on LOVE...You may wonder how house music can tell stories of love at such a fast pace and keep you dancing at the same time... This mix contains songs that speak about lost love, discovering love, declarations of love and even some that say baby, baby, please baby, please don't go.  There's even some "I'm so sexy" instrumentals for those who like to work it out in the mirror... It ends with the ultimate "that's my man and don't make me say it again" song. You'll start out nodding your head but will be doing the "DIP" in the end.  What's the "DIP"?/  Listen to the mix and you'll find out.  lol Hope you enjoy it and don't forget to leave a comment.....
