It’s been awhile, so I’m giving you more than three hours of continuous music to make up the difference. The new callout drops are courtesy of the Soul Interviews show curated by DJ Soulswede and broadcast on SkyNet satellite radio and Solar Radio on the net. My lil podcast has a special 30-minute mix on the show that you should be checking out. For this mix, I chose the best songs from our radio show. As usual, we’ve got a lil bit of everything on the soul spectrum (all but one special selection was released this millennium), this time broken up by sections, thanks to the drops, making it easier to skip around for a certain sound you’re looking for or you can just listen straight through and relax in my musical hands. Don’t forget to subscribe on Podomatic or iTunes and tell your friends that the LMG: The Soul Eclectics’ Mix, proves good music is still alive and well, if not always on the radio.

Valentine’s Day can be a loving and intimate or stressful and depressing day of the year. Sometimes you may start the day hitched and end it broken up and…well just broken. As much as the day can be cool for relationships, it’s cooler exploring the ins and outs of love the other 364 days a year. So here’s my After Valentine’s mix of modern soul, R&B, funk, electrosoul and everything in between. Don’t forget to subscribe on Podomatic or iTunes and tell your friends that the LMG: The Soul Eclectics’ Mix, proves good music is still alive and well, if not always on the radio.

I know many of us, myself included, have put on a few pounds over the holidays and didn’t burn nary a calorie during 2014’s “Polar Vortex.” But, in the spirit of being healthier this year, I’ve created a very special all up-tempo edition of The Soul Eclectics Mix. Separate from our usual volumes, where we keep it mostly with music from this millennium (proving good music is still being made every day), I reached back for a few soul, disco, house and acid jazz ditties to sit along side our modern day classics. But, as per our usual, we do jump around a bit, never staying with one genre for too long before bouncing to another sound or feeling, all to get you moving, walking, running, something to get our blood pumping. So get moving, and if you like it, don’t forget to subscribe on Podomatic or iTunes and tell your friends that the LMG: The Soul Eclectics’ Mix, proves good music is eternal. ENJOY!

For volume four, The Soul Eclectics' Mix series goes a little darker, moodier, and grittier with quite the genre journey for our most eclectic fans who know no musical boundaries in their listening, everything from soulful rock to hip hop soul to house—even a smidge of gospel— each represents on these two hours of continuous music. We also included a few rarities that are fairly hard to lay hands on from the likes of Tuan X, Corey Glover, and Carmen Bradford. We’re so in love with the new Frank McComb tribute to Donny Hathaway, that we had to include another from that newly released project available from McComb’s site. We hope you enjoy the final mix of the year and look forward to continuing with next year’s LMG/SoulTracks The Eclectics’ Mix. In the meantime stream, download, follow on Podomatic, subscribe on iTunes, share the series with friends, but most of all…ENJOY!
