Alkalino



I STRONGLY recommend you get yourself over to Alkalino's Soundcloud and follow him. His version of Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson's "Willing" is awesome.

Howard Johnson



As some of you may have noticed I've quietly resurrected the blog from oblivion and started posting again. So far it's mainly been event and release info but I thought I'd start sharing a few little edits again (just like the old days). I've been playing the Rocco Raimundo version of this track for a while but thought it was time for a basic extension of the original as its Kashif-produced groove is tops.

RJA39 : Chef De Party



The final Ruffjamz episode comes from the hardest working man on the Glasgow club scene.

At just 33 The Earl, aka Chef De Party is already something of a veteran of the Scottish club-scene, having been involved in promoting and DJing at many esteemed club-nights in Scotland's capital. Chef is now making a mark for himself in Glasgow after a recent re-location, setting up his Forever Cookin' promotions business which is working closely with institutions such as The Sub Club, Melting Pot and La Cheetah as well as bigger events such as Wee Chill and Electric Frog. His huge passion for forward thinking deep house and heart-warming soulful sounds are also proving to be popular as the Solid Gold Safari all-dayer he ran at The Halt Bar with DJ Dribbler every Saturday attested. Look out for news of a string of brand new Safari projects coming for 2012 on both sides of the country.

RJA38 : Cosmic Boogie



The in-demand Cosmic Boogie takes time out from his remixing and label-running duties to hand in an hour and a half of Disco, Soul, House and more for your listening pleasure.

His DJ skills are on show for this mix, and anyone present at his recent gigs around Europe will testify to his crowd-moving abilities.
