This past weekend I was invited to DJ at the "Summer Oasis" music festival in Idlewild Michigan. I haven't played this amazing event since 2019 and I literally couldn't wait to get back. "SOMF" is the brainchild of Cedric McDougle and Cedric curates an amazing event every summer, it's a weekend filled with all types of people, from filmmakers, artists and DJ's to educators, entrepreneur's and civic leaders and everyone in between. Folks camp out in these fancy tents, a concept called "Glamping" but the thing I like most about it is, as soon I get up to Idlewild (3 hour drive north of Detroit) I absolutely feel Free! It's so interesting but many people tell me they have that exact same feeling.

For those that don't know; Idlewild was a safe space that was nicknamed "Black Eden" in the early to mid 1900's. Black people owned lake houses and cottages and would head up north for the summer to relax and listen to the best of the best in black entertainment. Cedric moved his summer festival up to Idlewild in 2016 and it gets bigger and better every single year. This year the weatherman was forecasting big rainstorms but God had different plans for us up there in Idlewild. The weather was perfect for an outdoor glamping fest... When I tell you it was beautiful.

So these are some of the songs I played on Saturday. I noticed when I play live I don't play the songs as long as I do when I'm in my studio, I guess I get restless. So there are quite a few songs that I played during my (3 Hour Set) at SOMF that aren't in this mix but I think you'll still feel the vibe. I tried to blend a lot of Afro-House from South Africa with the Soulful House sounds from Detroit, Chicago, NYC etc. The sky was clear and the stars were out, so I just let the music play... Enjoy!!!

Thanks so much for the continued Support:
