A Soulful Chill

a soulful chill

You have probably worked out that I’m not that into heavy dance music. I loved Acid House but not what House music became. And any how, these days I suffer from anxiety and anything with a heavy BPM sets off a panic attack. So I’m all about setting the right vibe and chilling out. Going through my vinyl collection I started putting together a collection of soul tracks which I’m calling a soulful chill.

There are 10 of them so far, most of the tracklists are listed below but the others can be found by subscribing to my Mixcloud stream for a small fee, your reward will be the tracklists for over 500 mixes !!! For as little as £2.99 a month, it’s like saying thank you by buying me a coffee x

Soul Of Folk Funk

Over the last 10 years or so I have uploaded 113 Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours mixes. I have tried hard not to repeat any of the tracks, so that’s over 1500 songs! I have picked out a few of my favourites that have a little bit of soul. It is what I call the Soul Of Folk Funk.

They are up on Mixcloud but I thought I’d group them all here just for you x

A Feeling Of Harmony

Blimey, it’s turned right chilly here at the top of Folk Funk Towers. November is limping by and winter will soon be upon us. I’m all layered up to keep warm. It would be lovely to be riding a Lambretta around bathed in mediterranean warmth right now.

I had a scooter once years ago, I was more a mini fan in my youth, had 5 of them in various colours and conditions, but once I had a Vespa. I always wanted a Lambretta, but not being very useful with a spanner I opted for a PX125, burgundy with metallic checks. I was bloody useless at riding the bloody thing, and it would jump gears all the time. It was like trying to ride a noisy bucking bronco.

This mix is of a balearic nature, whatever that means. It was going to be called European Journey but I opted for the Terje Rypdal track title. This is the sort of mix I’d have done for Balearic Social, or Maldelsauce or Lions Milk, or Eclectics but I’m not on Social Media anymore, for my own sanity. I hated Facebook, always comparing myself to the happy people posting images and fun updates, and as for the music pages I was forever thinking “I NEED THAT RECORD” but I haven’t the money. It was making me sad. Well even more sad.

Any way, here is an hour of lovely music you don’t need to own as I have uploaded it for you to hear for free. Listen to it and think of riding a scooter or driving a mini around somewhere warm.

A scooter ride in the sun would be nice right now.

And Eight More Volume One

And Eight More Volume One

Volume One

& Eight More handpicked selections commingled lovingly by Paul Hillery.

The days are shortening and the night is drawing inwards. Autumn will give way to Winter soon. Music keeps me cool in the hotness of summer and warm in the harshest chill of winter. It over powers the chatter in my head and gives respite to the spiral of the shadows. In this series I will be choosing 8 tracks from the vaults at Folk Funk Towers. You can use them as a companion to whatever life throws at you.

To Be Continued…

Blimey the hottest day for a while here at Folk Funk Towers, my poor old iMac had to be switched off and given an iced tea as it was struggling with the heat. That’s why this wasn’t uploaded sooner. An ambient chilled soundtrack to your late afternoon or which ever part of your day this reaches your ear goggles. Keep cool.

Just A Bank Holiday August 2018 Curated by Paul Hillery

curated by Paul Hillery

It’s a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK and looking out of the rain splattered windows here at Folk Funk Towers I notice we seem to be back to normality. A watery grey sky and the smell of ozone damp rain through the open window mixed with the unmistakable aroma of a nag champa incense stick and Vietnamese coffee ~ Paul Hillery 08 2018

Enjoy the sounds from my vinyl collection including Jerry Scott, Hamid El Shaeri, Jimmy Ponder and the great Bobby Hart who’s biography I’m reading at the moment, the man who wrote the songs that outsold the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in 1967-1968, one half of the team that kickstarted the Monkees into stardom. Psychedelic Bubble Gum is well worth a read.

I hope you enjoy this mornings selections, a nice chilled start and picking up pace as we go on. Leave comments and share if you dig.
