    João Tenreiro ( Porto, Portugal)

    I started collecting records for about 8 years now. At first i was mainly into late 80s and early 90s house music from Chicago, New Jersey and Detroit where i played weekly in big clubs in Portugal. My obsession to dig deeper then led me to world music of all sorts from a lot of Latin and African countries ( Nigeria mainly ). At this time i had two monthly nights where i played all this stuff across the board in Lisbon and Porto. For the past two years my passion for soul music grew much bigger and since then i have been buying and collecting mainly sweet, crossover and modern soul. I currently have a monthly night at Cafe Au Lait (Porto) where i have been spinning all my soul 45s with an occasional event in other places. Since i was a very young kid i learned to appreciate soul music because of my dad. He has been collecting records for a long time now and had these compilations he did for a monthly night of his (Dancin Days) which i used to listen daily on repeat mode. Never would i imagine after 15 years i would be doing the same.

    5 in the bag for Deep Cliffs :

    The Tripplettes - That Man Of Mine

    Ellipsis - People

    4 Jades - Gee, How I Miss You

    Sallie Reynolds ( Bornemouth, U.K)

    Sallie Reynolds DJ and promoter has a life long love of soul music in all it’s many guises. She first got her soul fix at the local youth club before venturing further afield in her quest to hear new tunes. In the mid-70s the underground allnighter scene beckoned and she became hooked, travelling all over the UK. Sallie has promoted a number of events in London, Southampton and more recently Soul in the South allnighters in Bournemouth. She is a member of the Lost Soul DJ crew in the town. Nowadays she can be found spinning tunes around the UK and Europe. Sallie’s style is eclectic and her raw passion shines through in each set she plays.

    Christophe Imbert Double Cookin' Barcelona, Spain

    Salut,
    My name is Christophe aka Tof, French national living in Barcelona. I started collecting and djing 60s soul & R&B in the early 2000s in France, running regular nights in Lyon and Bordeaux for almost 10 years. Then moved to sunny Barcelona and since I’m co-hosting a little club with my mate Fonsoul, named Double Cookin´. Over the years, I had the chance to spin records in various places over Europe and US (Paris, London, Helsinki, Cleveland, Chicago, Lyon,…) and also in our local clubs (Boiler, Movin´On, Take Ivy, WambaBuluba…). First time in Portugal and really excited to share desks with such a great lineup of djs.
    Musically, my background is mod sounds and R&B and this is what I´m mainly collecting/playing today. But considering me an openminded person, I like many different styles from early 50s to late 70s, including R&B, jazz, deep funk, gospel, latin, JA,…and of course SOUL, any kind… So you can expect an eclectic/over-the-board set, perhaps a bit more deep for the alldayer than my usual night stuff.
    Here 5 tunes I will certainly carry on with me for Deep Cliffs:
    - Eunice Collins – At the Hotel (Mod-Art)
    - Reggie Saddler Revue feat. Richie Shade – Just Wait and See (Aquarius)
    - Super Grupo – El Gheto (Odeon)
    - Bro Roberts – Alcohol pt.1 (Jo Ann)
    - The Little Rock Coachmen – I Had Enough (MY)
    Never been really productive on making mix and so on but you can check here few things on my Mixcloud page and an old JesterWild Show from me.

    Fernando Alvarez (Leon Spain)

    Hi, my name is Fernando, aka Fer 00-Soul.
    47 years old outside but I stopped at 22 within my spirit, so 25 of difference mentally...
    Living in the city of Leon in the cold north of Spain, but always traveling due to my job.
    I have been collecting black sounds for more than 30 years and have been evolving from “only 60s mod sounding” to everything that makes my heart beating and my feet moving.
    I used to be DJing (but no so much in the late 10 years due to paternity) all through Spain.
    In these days I could play any black sound from 50s till now, but I always prefer those late 60s and first 70s sounds to be spun on decks.

    My Top 10+1 current spins (and some more):
    Johnny Bartel - If this isn’t love - Solid State
    Betty Lloyd - I’m catching on - BSC
    Zu Zu Blues Band - Zu zu man - A&M
    John Bowie - You’re gonna miss a good thing - Merben
    Headliners - Little sister - Super M
    Jimmie Ellis - Happy to be - Century City
    Soul City - Cold hearted blues - Goodtime
    Terry Callier - Look at me now - Cadet
    Betty Turner - The winds kept laughing - Crescent
    Jon Lucien - Do you believe in me - RCA ep
    Gospel Comforters - Yes god is real - Marcs

    I know I’m going to have a great time with all of you in the sunny and beautiful Portuguese coast (com um bom prato de bacalhau a Brás e muita cerveja).
    Here you have my Mixcloud channel if you want to hear some homemade mixes from me.
