Scott Diaz Presents Otherside 008 - Gospel Grooves

The 'Otherside' mix series returns with a brand new mix and a brand new look. If you don't already know, The ‘Otherside' mixes represent another side of what i’m about as a DJ and artist, showcasing styles that either I've been into for years but don't always get to play out, or that have nods to genres that have influenced my sound and direction, or are perhaps just more obscure types of vibes that are geared more towards listening than dancing. As a DJ and music fan before anything else, and as a music collector and lover of such a broad range of music, it really made sense to curate these mixes in terms of mood and theme. I mix them completely live and a lot of the time I've never played the tracks before so it’s all new in terms of how I attempt to make it all flow. I also try not to play a record more than once in any episode of this series. Episode 008 is dedicated to the goodness of gospel house. Whether it's the church-soaked soul of DJ Spen, party praise jams from the likes of Moodymanc or the genius sampling in Patrick Topping's 'Look Sharp Say Nowt', there's little more uplifting, joyous and life-affirming than a great gospel house record. I've curated about 30 of my favourites here. Enjoy! Please drop me a comment or a message if you'd like any track ID's.
