THE SOULSORTS RECORD ROOM CHOICE CUTS 2023 PART 2

Another selection of some of my favourite tunes of 2023, all of these could really have made it into one final chart, and as I said previously, it’s not about grading them or a competition, all this music is top quality with its own merit, the only reason I’ve done this is more of a tradition than anything with the year end ‘chart’, and in this show again some serious ‘Soulsorts’ grooves from classy artists.
