Our September party marks 16 years of Soul Underground and to celebrate, we've booked a DJ and friend who encompasses everything our night is about. Mark Randle knows his music, from brand new soul and '90s grooves, to full on jazz workouts and the contemporary house sounds of Ron Trent and Glenn Underground. A frequent guest since day one, Mark always plays from the heart with an infectious passion the dancefloor always responds to.
Here's a recording of when Mark played SU in 2015 -

Soul Underground returns on Saturday 1st July and as it’s also Lin’s birthday, we thought we’d try something a bit different.For whatever reason, on our little scene, there seems to have been a reluctance to book DJs to play extended sets – whether that be a four hour stint, or even the whole night. This could be due to more traditional line-up formats being preferred, or maybe DJs not wanting to play any longer than two hours. A more cynical explanation might be that booking more DJs guarantees a few more bodies on the floor! Perhaps all these reasons have a hand to play, we’re not quite sure. Either way, it seems a real shame as there are some incredible record collections on this scene, crying out to be explored and shared through longer sets.
In an attempt to buck this trend, we’re giving the whole night over to our resident, Jamie Taylor. With six hours to go out, Jamie will dig deep through his crates to reflect what Soul Underground means to him. Without the constraints a short set imposes, he will have time to explore, in greater detail, the genres, labels and artists the venue has championed over the last seventeen years. There will be soul, house and jazz, and he’ll attempt to join (as Gilles Peterson puts it) the musical dots in between.
Now, it wouldn’t be Soul Underground without our resident percussionist, Glenn Worthington. With an unrivalled knowledge of his music and craft, and a unique understanding of how Jamie plays, Glenn is the perfect accompaniment for sets like this. Plus, for the first time in a long time, he’ll be dusting down and bringing out his full percussion kit – timbales included!
Really hope you can join us for this one and as always, if you fancy staying over, double rooms are just £38. Just call 01922 722921 and quote 'Soul Underground' when booking.
We’ve also recently uploaded 27 recordings from previous parties to our Mixcloud page, so fill your boots with the link below -

Soul Underground returns on Saturday 15th April and we're really happy to be bringing back one of our favourite guests of recent years, Trev Cox. As a DJ we feel Trev has carved out his own unique space within our scene, championing jazz-fuelled soul music that's always perfect for the dancefloor. From underplayed and rare gems, to lesser known reworks and latin rhythms full of soul, his sets are often the most celebrated at SU and always a personal highlight for us.Paul, Lin, Jamie and Glenn will be in support as always and if you fancy staying over, double rooms are just £38. Just call 01922 722921 and quote 'Soul Underground' when booking. There's so much good music around at the moment and we're really looking forward to sharing it, so hope you can join us!
