Mix - The Best Of 2021 - June



Here's a 60 minute blended mix of my selection of 19 of 'some' the best new releases for Jun 2021.

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Part 21 (Jun 2021 Wk 25) Spotify Playlist


My selection of the best releases this week (Jun 2021 Wk 25). 

There has been a deluge of releases, especially towards the end of the week, which means I've had a lot of music to trawl through to bring you this week's Dirty Dozen. However, whilst there has been plenty of material, there is nothing that particularly stands out from the crowd this week, or maybe I'm just 'ear blind' with so much to choose from?

It's not surprising to see last week's SoulStrutter Selection of the Week (Kadeem Tyrell & Omar - "All My Love") entering the Global Soul chart at #9 yesterday.

This week's selection goes to an album for the first time. The one I raved about during the week from Hawaiian outfit "Bound" which I couldn't feature in this week's Dirty Dozen as the second half of the album, which contains the best track  "Right Timing" which I would have featured, is not on Spotify.  
Another track I raved about is Doug Payne & Carman Bryant's wonderful unreleased track "Take A Chance" from the late 70s, is also not on Spotify. It is the highest viewed post in the last 7 days by a country mile having more than twice the views than the next placed post. 

The purpose of the Selection of the Week is to give a release a boost so, as "Take A Chance" seems to be getting plenty of attention already, I've chosen "Bound" to give it some additional promotion.

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Covers, Reissues, Remixes & Samples Part 14 (Jun 2021 Wk 25)



My selection of this week's best cover versions, remixes, reissues, previously unreleased and new songs using samples (Jun 2021 Wk 25). (In no particular order).

It's extended to 18 this week as I haven't posted a list for the last two weeks as there haven't been sufficient releases to complete a dozen so the last six tracks are from last week.

All are covers, reissues, remixes or samples except for Bridge City Revival which is included here as it's a retro style track.

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Part 20 (Jun 2021 Wk 24) Spotify Playlist


My selection of the best releases this week (Jun 2021 Wk 24). 

After a very slow week, thankfully, there were loads of good releases on Friday. This week's SoulStrutter Selection of the Week was fairly easy to choose, Kadeem Tyrell & Omar - "All My Love" which probably won't need much promoting as I think it's a certainty to enter the Global Soul chart next week as I think it's easily the best neo soul release of the week.

The Dirty Dozen - The Best Of 2021... Part 19 (Jun 2021 Wk 23) Spotify Playlist


My selection of the best releases this week (Jun 2021 Wk 23). 

Not many covers, reissues, unreleased tracks available digitally this week as most are only available on vinyl and aren't on Spotify, so I've included the only one that's on Spotify in this week's main Dirty Dozen (i.e. Chuck Brown & The Soul Searchers' terrific cover of Johnny 'Guitar' Watson). There won't be a separate Spotify playlist for covers etc. this week, but I may put together one from YouTube.
This week's SoulStrutter Selection of the Week was a choice between Keni Myles and Derrick Senna, James Senna & Senco and there's not much between them but I've gone with the latter only because I don't think it's had much/any exposure as yet and it deserves more.
