Soulsearching with Michael Ruetten
Soulsearching - Hosted by Michael Rutten (Soulpatrol)

Compost Records artist Michael Rutten presents this eclectic show bringing together classic originals and modern sensibilities. Each show opens with Michael Rutten mixing a few brand new releases, followed by one or two guest mixes by international DJs, rounded off with Michael Rutten dropping a few more jewels. Tunes that often are not-yet released or really hard to find.

Tunes that simply put a shake in your step, sweat on your brow and send shivers up your syncopated spine.

Guest mixers so far have included diverse heads such as Quantic, Maurice Fulton, Nicola Conte, Mr. Scruff, John Kong, Ame, Beanfield, Makossa & Sugar B, Jazzanova, Rainer Truby, Ben Mono, London Elektricity and Carl Craig.

Watch out for future guest mixes!

intense...heavy...real.

120 minutes full of tension out of the soulsearching studio ffm
and emanative's spiritual drum chamber.

this is a special show - sometimes you do feel it a bit more.

2011 has been a strong year full of musical discoveries.
be it in jazz, crossover electronic goes band stuff and also very good pop music
came along. all artists, keep on delivering - and we'll keep spreading then.

and just when you think all is being delivered another strong album arrives - real hip hop
by the roots. go and get the album, this is one for rap and hip hop history.
also check for more bass heavy remix action by new mysterious producer team close.
massive remix for scuba this time, little dragon next time. and song of the year?
lana del rey is definately up there, about time to give you the strong joy orbison remix.
plus a very beautiful winter flower which grew already in summer this year and a stunning remix
by burnt friedman, doin the shangaan shake. kickin off with another project:mooncircle gem btw . . .
this label is getting better and better. and finishing my little warm up set for the spiritual drums session
with a great piano player from armenia. highly recommended album !

this is not a 2011 rewind though. just another spontaneous soulsearching excursion.

and what can i say about the mix this week - the heavy hitters on the jazz drums,
from max roach to tony allen and roy haynes plus chester thompson and of course
steve reid. all in, 61 minutes of pure energy. listen very loud. big thanks to the man,
nick woodmansey aka emanative for this journey to the spiritual drums.

getting ready for 2012 with so much inspiration floatin in.
. . . soon back on the decks then. it's been a while . . .

next week:
the annual christmas special with rainer trueby and yours truly.

love is everywhere.

enjoy the music.

Michael
as winter is arriving here in frankfurt we are taking a ride into the warmer regions this week, introducing manilas heavy boogie crew via their brilliant humidity deep mixtape. speaking about kristian hernandez and ms. badkiss who run things in the capital of the philippines music and clubwise. check out the regular heavy boogie & gotsoul parties as well as the malisimbo music & arts festival in 2012 when you are down there. big thanks to both of them for their more party orientated mix and a bunch of tunes that i haven't heard of yet. nice stuff.

out of my box a selection of what i am into at the moment, just music, you know....more by dirg gerner from his vinyl only preface ep, an exclusive live recording courtesy of josé james (heavy band, man ! can't wait to see / hear you in 2012 on a stage here), more dillon, more gerry read, a bit of forthcoming heavy stuff by the portico quartet, a deep mark e mix for azymuth, oldschool vibes out of cologne for compost and a little sunflower in wintertime by jerker kluge's deep jazz formation.

it's all good, next week we will have emanatives spiritual drums mix.

enjoy the music.

Michael
