Next Saturday on May 22nd in Moscow, we’re gonna drop a special party, so called “The First Russian Soulful House Gathering“. The idea is to gather all local soulful DJs and addicts from all over Russia together to meet and greet each other. We’ll have a gig with many of Russian soulful DJs spinning along with, hopefully, massive communications and experience sharing activities. If you’re soulful head in Moscow or around, please do consider coming and meeting peeps like you, do not miss a chance to see lots of local soulful DJs performing. If you’re not in Russia, you will probably have a chance to see and listen to us via my UStream.TV during the event – starting May 22nd, 19pm GMT.

In a meantime, I’ve put up a spontaneous promo mix with strictly classic soulful sounds, and can’t wait to share. Enjoy!

While we’re in the break between two Summer Fondue episodes, I’d love to share another live mixtape of mine as a bonus for the visitors and podcast subscribers. It was recorded on February 2010 in Moscow restaurant Kinki. 105 minutes of chilled, moody evening soulful house vibrations for your ears’ pleasure. Enjoy.
