MIX #41 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwHR_YlvIuE

Man where do I even start! 2025 has been a transformative year for me in many ways, I can't even really put it into one caption (check my Substack for the details). I've had my foot on the gas since the back end of 2024 and haven't really looked back since. It's been busy but full of some incredible moments including: DJing in New York, launching a new event series called Soul Therapy, securing a new monthly residency on Voices Radio, summertime festivals, several live shows in London, a career pivot plus a whole lot more.

As a result of all these life moments, plus the world seemingly becoming more and more hostile, I had a to take a slight pause on uploading here but rest assured, there are some incredible things set to drop on this channel very soon. The pipeline is looking healthy as we have content on New York and more mixes to drop in the next few months.

As the seasons change here in London, I have been listening to and collecting a lot of soulful music. I put this mix together over the past few weeks and I'm super happy to now release it into the world. Some of these finds are new, old, obscure and also well known - a varied mix of top shelf music. As always, thank you all for listening and showing love on my mixes, from every corner of the globe I see you and it means the world to me. Enjoy this one and big big love for being such a great community. It's a beautiful thing for real.

Peace - Raph

As mentioned Soul Therapy is back and @esthahh and I are happier than ever to be returning to our spiritual home at The BBE Store on Friday 7th November from 6-11pm.

If you were at our first event, you’ll know how the night went 🔥 If you couldn’t make the first one, now is your chance as we’re doing it all over again with familar and new selectors alike. After the shellings, community connection and high vibrations from our first dance, we knew we had to run it back!

As always, Soul Therapy is about connection and an experience dedicated to the uplifting and healing powers of deep, soulful, afro house music. Returning to the decks we have @esthahh , @bussssssssssa , myself and joining us we have longtime supporter, selector and master of NRGs @lwanga__ to provide the deep and soulful grooves.

Tickets are free and you can RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/soul-therapy-the-bbe-store-tickets-1642868827889?aff=oddtdtcreator

As always, it takes a team to bring these dances together so we express our thanks to @mrasabere @johnnyreckless24 @the_music_suite and @the_bbe_store for helping us facilitate.

Can’t wait to see you deya!

Love 💜
