Groove Therapy :: 21st Jan 2022 Tribute to James Mtume

With the recent passing of percussionist/songwriter James Mtume, we lay all tracks from his legendary funk/soul/boogie supergroup, including all the jams that James wrote for other artists. In between working with Stephenie Mills, Donny Hathaway and Tyrone Brunson he managed to create a string of classics that have been staples in so many of our lives so we had to do something to signify his passing. So strap yourselves in for some quality sunshine music that will lift your spirits higher than most of the artists were who he was working with.

Let me know you’re tuned in…

I love to know that you and your friends are listening to the show. Hit me up on the email with any shoutouts and requests. I might not always get to them through the program, but I’ll always do my best to mention you in the coming weeks.

Shan’s pick of the week…

Sample spotters…

While Mtume was sampled in Hip Hop many times over the years (perhaps most famously for Notiorious BIG’s “Juicy”) I want to bring attention to this lesser know sample. This classic tune from Grand Puba doesn’t get played on today’s show, I do drop the original source material into the mix. Tune in to see if you can spot the original track used in this classic nineties Hip Hop joint.

DJ Shan presents a mastermix of Funk, Soul, Hip Hop, Beats, Disco, House and everything
in between, every Friday at midday – now in its 19th year!
