FULL TRACKLIST BELOW

House music is built on evolution—an ever-changing rhythm that reflects the past, embraces the present, and shapes the future. Today’s mix celebrates producers who have refined the soulful house sound, crafting music that moves bodies and minds alike.

A Legacy That Lives On: Phil Asher’s Contribution to House Music

Few producers shaped soulful house like Phil Asher (RIP). A visionary DJ, producer, and remixer, his influence ran deep, spanning broken beat, deep house, and nu-jazz. His Restless Soul project became synonymous with innovation, bringing a jazz-influenced style to house music that still resonates today.

In this session, his remix of Roy Ayers’ “Brand New Feeling” brings together two pioneers—Ayers, a jazz-funk legend, and Asher, a house music craftsman. This track is a masterclass in fusing percussion-driven house with Ayers’ unmistakable groove, bridging the gap between jazz and electronic dance music.

The Power of Soulful Vocals: Bah Samba & Monique Bingham’s “Run”

From the UK to South Africa, Bah Samba has always championed organic instrumentation in house music, and few vocalists match the expressive depth of Monique Bingham. “Run” is a prime example of house music’s storytelling power—Bingham’s vocal performance commands attention, while Phil Asher’s production work on this track elevates its emotional intensity.

Production Breakdown: Saison’s “I Need Ya”

If there’s one production duo that defines contemporary deep house, it’s Saison. Known for their rich basslines, crisp drum work, and warm synth textures, their sound has an effortless classic-meets-modern feel.

“I Need Ya” is a lesson in subtle groove building. The delicate layering of vocal cuts, percussive shakers, and soulful chord stabs makes this track work equally well in late-night lounges or peak-hour dancefloors. Saison’s ability to inject groove into every element of a track is what sets them apart from many of their deep house contemporaries.

The Message in the Music: Din Jay’s “The Way To The Light”

Some house tracks are more than just music—they are messages of upliftment. Din Jay’s “The Way To The Light” is a soulful anthem centered around positivity and perseverance. With its classic gospel house progression, it’s a track that reminds us of the healing power of house music.

Every element of this production, from the soaring vocal harmonies to the rolling bassline, is crafted to bring people together on the dancefloor. Much like classics from MAW, Kerri Chandler, and Frankie Knuckles, this track proves that house music remains a genre rooted in unity and soul.
