It’s another month with another celebration of beautiful house on the horizon – the Southport Weekender in the UK. Always a hive of excitement with an eclectic range of soulful, funky and disco house to entertain the weekend campers. With that in mind, the first part of the show is dedicated to the endless parties up in Minehead from 11-13th May.

We kick start the show with an elegant reprise of the Boris Dlugosch & Roisin Murphy classic “Never Enough” which takes us into a number of soulful beauties followed by a jackin’ disco-fuelled session, wrapped up with some twisted bootlegs and Chocolate Puma’s amazing remix of Ben Westbeech’s “Same Thing”.

Make sure you send us your feedback – your favourite tracks, any questionable inclusions, whatever – we love to hear back from you. Even a simple Facebook “like” will suffice.

Spring is well and truly in full swing (at least in the UK). The Winter Music Conference in Miami has just passed – a brilliant excuse for all the dance labels to compile their ultimate start to 2012 – and we’re now venturing into festival season.

Not that we need any excuses to dig out some belting house tracks and compile them into two hours of hot, sexy and down-right uplifting vibes. The last Friday of the month means it’s time for Funky House Finesse (Finesse Friday anyone?)

Kickstarting with the retro-tastic Storm Queen, we have one hell of a line-up for you this month. We have the likes of David Penn, Steven Stone, Deep Factor, Ron Carroll and Frankie Knuckles featured.

You will not be disappointed. Speaking of which, remember to “like” the mix on Facebook so you can share the love with all your online comrades.

It comes with great sadness that a legend, a star, a huge part of my musical background passed away this month. Whitney Houston gave us one of the finest voices in the World so, naturally, I had to honour her with one of my favourite tracks from 1993, remixed by Civilles and Cole – “I’m Every Woman” wraps up this month’s show.

But, before that, we have a whole host of funky uplifting tracks. I’m particularly fond of the comeback of some house classics from the glory years with remixes of “Put ‘Em High”, “Soul Central”, “Black Legend” and even “World Go Round”.

So, download, crank up the volume and get ready for two hours of amazing music. (Don’t forget to like it on Facebook!)

Continuing on from the disco-come-jackin’ house we ended with on Part 1, we have a whole host of great tracks to finish up December’s show including a cheeky bootleg of an old Jamiroquai favourite, a couple Audiojacker tracks, a fantastic disco track from Kathy Brown and a wicked mashup from eSQUIRE of two house classics. You will not be disappointed!

Remember to show your support for the show by liking us on Facebook and tweeting it on Twitter. We love all you loyal fans so please show your faces.

Finally, happy new year to you all. We’ve had a great 2011 of house music and I expect even better things in 2012. Here’s to a funky one!

Last month, I promised fans of the One Phat DJ Facebook page a special treat when we managed to reach 800 fans.

It was originally intended to only be available to the Facebook fans but who am I to starve you people of another special one hour mix full of funky delights?

Without further ado, I’ve released the mix on the podcast so it should download straight to iTunes (or whatever MP3 player you’re subscribed with).

Enjoy!
