I’m sure there will be a few regular listeners who will be upset by this but it’s not the end – it’s just time to reflect on the year, focus my energy on a new lifestyle (after turning 30 and moving to our new home) and gather my thoughts on where to take my DJing career in 2011. I’m certainly not giving up house music, that will never happen – house music is bred into me, it’s part of who I am.

No doubt I’ll put together the occasional mix over the coming months, what with several other milestone birthdays due in October. As and when that happens, I’ll be sure to share them as part of the podcast and on the Facebook page.

In the mean time, just relive some of the fond memories from the last year or so, go through the archives and enjoy the many hours of funky house we’ve presented to you.

Finally, thanks for all your support throughout the years. It’s a real honour to know so many people get such happiness from the podcast. The love for house is strong – let’s keep it that way!

Keep in touch – I’ll still be on Twitter and Facebook so don’t be a stranger. Love to you all!

August is probably the biggest month on the clubbing calendar. Everyone is jetting off around the world, hitting the clubs and Ibiza is in full swing. Not one to overlook the momentous occassion, we’ve got a special guest mix to keep your cockles warm until the next episode of Funky House Finesse (scheduled for Bank Holiday Weekend).

This month we present an upcoming DJ from Leicestershire, UK, who caught my attention the other month when we sent over a mix after dusting off his decks and records for a well earned comeback. I was impressed with his track selection and ability to take listeners on a journey through a wide range of house genres. The man in question goes by the name of Mr Ben Spencer.

During the late 90s and early Noughties, Ben was a fresh-faced and eager house DJ. Barring a handful of pub/club appearances, his exploits were largely confined to the bedroom. His love for house music dwindled somewhat, but is now back with a vengeance in 2010. Ben is also a drummer, movie lover, gamer, football fan and lager drinker.

Ben has produced a special two hour guest mix for Funky House Finesse this month chock full of astounding house tracks, ranging from minimal to tribal through to disco, electro and finally chillout. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the mix as much as we have.

Be sure to follow Ben on Twitter (@benspencer) for all his latest updates and his other DJing antics.

This week is a special celebration of both One Phat DJ and the Funky House Finesse show turning 30 so, as a treat, we’re going back over the last 20 years of funky house, pulling out some of the biggest tracks in One Phat DJ’s box.

Needless to say, there’s quite a substantial selection of tunes to pick from so, for one month only, we’re going for an extra long 3 hour mix of uninterrupted funky house tunes.

We’ve even gone as far to create a special iTunes friendly version of the show which allows you to skip between each track with ease. Each “chapter” also contains a link to buy the track legally from the likes of DJ Download, Traxsource, Amazon, Trackitdown, iTunes, Juno Download and DJ Tunes so make sure you support the artists featured by buying those tracks you keep repeating.

Special thanks to Cole Henley for his guest artwork too – a bit of a cheeky hint towards my new found age with a retro look and feel. Thanks also goes out to Peyton for his special “happy birthday” message towards the end too.

In the warm up to The Big 30 Show, we’re heading out to Ibiza for a long weekend of partying on the White Isle. To make sure you don’t feel left out, we’ve produced an Ibiza Special mixshow, full of some of the biggest tracks of the Summer.

Featuring the likes of ATFC, Jamie Lewis, Pepper Mashay, Kathy Brown, Rasmus Faber, Mary J Blige, Gramophonedzie, Funkerman and Jay Santi.

Love him or hate him, you can’t deny Dizzee Rascal for trying to bridge the gap between hip hop and house, working with some of the biggest names in the dance industry and, more often than not, delivering some highly innovative productions. I’m certainly feeling this disco inspired track anyway – it just had to be the show opener.

It all builds up to quite a clubby feel with a good 45 minutes of upfront house anthems, not forgetting the monster In The Air from TV Rock and Rudy. It’s difficult to pick any favourites but I’m confident we’ll be hearing a lot more of the finale with Chris Ortega and CJ Stone – it has all the ingredients for an Ibiza anthem.

In the warm up to Funky House Finesse 28 (released this Friday, just in time for the second May Bank Holiday), we introduce an aspiring and upcoming DJ from Maryland USA who goes by the name of DJ Kidd Kurrupt.

Inspired by his DJ father, Kurrupt started DJing at the tender age of 10 to an underground reggae basement gig. Immediately, he was hooked and went on to dabble in all sorts of music from old school hip hop, reggae and funk to techno, trance and funky house, proving his diverse mixing skills weren’t limited to just one genre.

You can currently find DJ Kidd Kurrupt destroying the crowds with his unforgettable live sets all around the Washington D.C. area, Baltimore City, as well as across Europe and South America. Check out some of his other mixes at Soundcloud or Mixcloud or for bookings, email djkiddkurrupt@hotmail.com or call 1-240-682-3467.

This week we introduce not one but two new features:

• “Classics” where we relive some of our favourite tracks from the past, some with a fresh new touch, some in all their original glory.
• “Getting To Know” where we interview artists and producers from around the house music industry and find out a little bit more about where they’ve come from and what they have in the pipeline.

We kick off the Getting To Know series with the beautiful and talented Bonnie Bailey, finding out how she got started in music, what she’s been recording lately and what she has planned for the rest of the year.

You can find out more about Bonnie, her new releases and watch her videos via her Facebook Fan Page, YouTube, MySpace and Twitter pages.

Don’t forget to buy her huge new hit Millions Of Milkshakes on iTunes and keep your ear to the ground for her next summer release “Fall Into My Heart“.

Apologies for the delay releasing this week’s show – we had a slight technical hitch that put us back almost a week.

Anyway, all has returned to normal now and you can enjoy another two hours of uplifting, fresh and funky house music, mixed up by your favourite DJ.

We’ve completely bypassed the Heart & Soul section this week, jumping straight into Love Lounge with a couple of tracks from the new Bargrooves Disco Heat 2 compilation such as Warren Clarke and Kathy Brown teaming up for “Over You” and Luxor’s “Back To Love” – the album is definitely worth grabbing or putting on your Christmas list.

A few other noticeable inclusions are The Shapeshifters teaming up with the legend Frankie Knuckles and the awesome reworking of Lee Cabrera’s “Shake It” with Thomas Gold and the delectable Tara McDonald (who kindly supplied a cheeky greeting for you all).

Next week, we’ll be featuring some delights from the long-awaited Fierce Angels: The Collection, released Monday 23rd November with a whole stack of foot stomping dance tracks including several exclusives from the newly formed Fierce Angels Collective (Mark Doyle teaming up with some of his good friends from around the industry).

There will also be the usual funky numbers that are doing the rounds on the club scene, compilations and all the usual haunts. Be sure to join in on Saturday 5th December by opening the fifth advent calendar window with another 20 odd new tracks.

To celebrate this week’s Southport Weekender (which I’ll be attending) we’ve got a gorgeous collection of soulful house tunes to get you ready for the weekend.

Featuring the likes of the mighty Marc Evans, Switzerland’s Steven Stone, Birmingham’s Timmy Vegas and the delectable vocal talents of Katherine Ellis and Alec Sun Drae, you should not be disappointed!

If that wasn’t enough, we’re joined by the amazing DJ Iban Reus from Mallorca with an exclusive hour long guest mix, including some sexy Balaeric anthems to brighten up the miserable UK November weather.

If you’re ever on the Spanish island, you can catch DJ Iban Reus every Saturday night on Global FM where he showcases the latest in house music. If you’re not fortunate to be sunning it up out there, he also uploads the occasional mix to his Soundcloud profile. Check them out and hook up with him on Twitter as @DJIbanReus.
