    Benjamin Mena ( HotPants Soul club Minneapolis)

    I grew up on the west side of San Antonio TX. Now I live in the frozen city of St. Paul Minnesota in the northern part of USA. The winters up here can be brutal but they have had a positive effect on my life too. The cold has taught me to appreciate things that I took for granted down south in Texas. That's why I jumped at the opportunity to dj at the first ever Deep Cliffs Soul weekender in south Portugal. 
       The weekender promised sunshine, beaches, dancing into the wee hours and lots of something called Superbock. Well, it lived up to every expectation and more, which is why I was happy to be invited back this year. No doubt it'll be amazing all over again. 
       My personal tastes in records are all across the board from 50's to the 80's. For this occasion I intend to play things that fit the Deep Cliffs vibe. That'll include sweet soul (firme rolas only :-) ), xover, and a heavy dose of soul from my adopted home of Minnesota.
    Thanks again to Laurent and Insa for orchestrating the whole thing. See you all in Albufiera!

    Music lover and record collector, I was first introduced to blue beat & ska by a skinhead older than me back in the 80's...Not long after that I visited the legendary Paris reggae record shop located on the boulvevard Saint-Germain called Blue-Moon ( long time gone...) and headed back home with a bunch of original studio one singles... Then I started ( and never stopped since) to dig for some others obscure reggae records while all my mates where into their Oi! and punk phase !! LOL . I'm "aussi" really into Blues, R&B, Jazz & Blue Note, specialy West Coast Jazz like Pacific Jazz label... When I'm not listening or looking for records, I just spend my time enjoying wine, food , my english bull terrier, family and buddies .

    It was a pleasure to spin some records last year at Deep Cliffs Weekender, and I was very happy peoples loved my Reggae and Ska selection, the whole weekend was a blast !!! no doubt this year will be a great moment "encore" !!

    Here is 10 records I will have with me for the weekender:

    Symphonical Records

    Hailing from the Scunthorpe riveira, I've found myself in London for the past several years collecting colourful 70s & 80s sounds and trying my hand at putting on a few club nights too. Currently piecing a few things together for my label Symphonical Records which, still in it's infancy, releases unissued material from back in the day, whilst doing the odd DJ gig and co-promoting 'Reel To Reel', a disco club in Barcelona.

    Grateful to be back on the sunny coast of Portugal, a few tunes I'll bring are:

    Jax Transit Authority - Life Is A Miracle (own label)

    Upheaval - Paradise Lost (Love)

    Heem The Music Monsters - Wake Up People (Blood Leaf)

     Very happy to return to attend this second edition of the Deep Cliffs Soul Weekender and to be able to select some 45's for the occasion. Many of you already know me, others not so much. I'm from Barcelona, I started collecting records when I met the mod scene in the late 90's. In recent years I have specialized in collecting 45's of rare soul, which is basically what I'm going to play this Deep Cliffs Soul Weekender. I really want to surround myself with good friends, listen to good music, and also to taste good local food, as it was last year. Counting the days to fly to the Algarve and its fantastic beaches. See you there!!

    Hendrik Irmscher (Soul'd Up - Berlin) 

    As many of my soul mates, I set in my record journey by collecting 70s Powerpop/Mod/Punk and 60s Garage. Many moons ago I began dj-ing and organizing some wild parties in Berlin, since then I have been specializing in collecting 60s & 70s Soul sounds. From my today's view - I love any kind of soulful sounds, to begin with 60s R&B/Soul up to soulful House as well as great current releases. Five years ago we started promoting bigger events under the flag of "Soul’d Up - Berlin", so twice a year we celebrate an Alldayer & Allnighter with an international dj line-up, upcoming one is on 1st & 2nd of November incl. Friday Warm up. …

    5 of my current faves that most probably get a spin at the daytime

    Charles McCormick - I Want You For My Self [Mon-Tab]

    Lynn White ‎– I Don't Know Why [S.O.H.]

    New Way - Holding On [prestige]

    From Hamburg, Germany

    I started collecting Soul 45s in the mid 80’s, and started DJing with these things maybe ten years later. Now I’m a regular on one of the big weekenders in germany, The Soul Shakers Weekender“ in Bamberg. I do DJ occasionally outside germany, I was a guest DJ in Italy, Sweden, USA, Spain, UK, and Portugal. I love my Northern sides as much as the 70’s and early 80’s records and I like it funky too. I still collect soul music only in it’s original format and I surely won’t Stop doing it, as there’s nothing, that thrills me more than a quality soul 45, that I have never heard before.

     

     

    Some records that might get a spin at the Weekender 

    Sammie Relford: Breaking Ice On Love

    Bill Brown: Bip Bam

    I-20 Connection: Dreamin

    Joni Wilson: (Let Hurt Put You In The) Loser’s Seat

    From Seattle Usa / Emerald City Soul Weekender

    Hello,
    I’m happy to be returning to the Deep Cliffs Weekender. It’s going to be a happy reunion of friends in the best setting imaginable. I was born in Northern California, now residing in Seattle Washington. I’m probably most associated with Seattle’s Emerald City Soul Club, however I try to keep busy organizing diverse music events ranging from American garage punk to rocksteady and sweet soul. My goal is never to allow a boring weekend in Seattle ;-)

    Ten records that I’ve been playing recently at Emerald City Soul Club:

    1. Linda Collins – All the Way Down the Line – Priority Entertainment
    2. Don Julian and the Larks - The Pop Lock – Jerk Records
    3. The Revolution of St. Vincent – The Little You Say – Wirl
    4. Joe Bataan – Mestizo – Salsoul Records (45 RPM with Rap-O-Clap-O)
    5. Neo Experience – Human – Sahara
    6. The Southern Travelers – Jesus Will – No label

    From Milwaukee, Usa . The Get Down club

    I started spinning records with my middle brother Tom around the mid-to-late 90s. We hated the club music at the time (IDM, turntablism, basically the bad jazz fusion of our generation), and wanted to hear older and more uptempo music as a soundtrack to our late teens/early 20s social lives. That led to 60s mod/garage/international beat and obviously soul and funk 45s. Lotus Land, our store (and eventually label) opened in 2001 and connected us to many more like-minded DJs both nationally and internationally. I made my first DJ trip over to U.K. in 2003 and really had my eyes opened to the differences in how the music was perceived, danced to, and marketed. After starting the band Kings Go Forth a few years later and subsequently touring quite a bit worldwide, the friends and colleagues I've made via soul music number in the hundreds, a scene which truly enriches my life daily. These days I'm mostly digging for records per usual, working on rare black music licensing projects, and also spending countless hours on my parallel passion, plant-based cooking.

    From Barcelona, Spain . The Boiler

    Hi, my name is Jordi and, together with Cristina, i’ve been running the Boiler Club in Barcelona for well over a decade. I’ve been fortunate to play my records all over Europe, both in clubs and in festivals. I’ve also comped a few LPs, the last one being ‘Tremblin’’. I must confess that i get a big kick designing the covers, which is my trade. I usually mix lesser known tracks with a couple of the big ones that got us hooked in the first place. Yep, the hits that no one seems to spin anymore. I hope i don’t get sick on the boat.

    Today‘s top ten.

    Ascots- She did

    Gay Poppers - I want to Know

    Cherokees - Uprisin’
