Listen\/Download Funky16Corners 10th Anniversary Pt5 – Northern Soul<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Greetings all<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

The end of the week, and of the Funky16Corners 10th Anniversary<\/strong> celebration are both at hand.<\/p>\n

I should remind you that the Funky16Corners Radio Show<\/strong> takes to the airwaves of the interwebs this and every Friday night on Viva Radio.<\/strong> <\/a>You can also subscribe to the show as a podcast in iTunes, listen on your mobile device on the TuneIn app, or grab yourself an MP3 here at the blog.<\/p>\n

The mix I chose to close out the week is near and dear to my heart.<\/p>\n

Over the course of my soul fandom, stretching back 30 years, no sound has hit me as deeply as Northern Soul.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going to go into the roots of the sound here (I have in the past, to be sure), or provide a definition, other than to say these are records that combine hard-charging tempos and great melodies in uniquely exhilarating ways.<\/p>\n

One need only listen to the mix all the way through to get the picture, as it were, but I suspect that even then, there are those that might take issue with some of the selections.<\/p>\n

Northern Soul is a lot of things to a lot of people, and I approach the sound as someone who genuinely loves it.<\/p>\n

Some of my very favorite soul records \u2013 in any genre<\/em> \u2013 are key to this mix. These are records that lift you in every way, some crossing over into what can safely be described as pure musical bliss.<\/p>\n

This is my favorite genre to listen to, and by far my favorite to spin for dancers as a DJ.<\/p>\n

I thought it fitting that this was the mix to cap off the anniversary week.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it, and I hope you keep listening\/reading as long as I still have something meaningful to say.<\/p>\n
