    <description>
      <![CDATA[<p>With a new mix on www.podomatic.com/soulshack each month , DJ-J-ME started "The Soul Shack" in November 2005 on Soulstream Networks as a way to share with the world his take on 'good' music...made with soul. From soulful &amp; classic house to nu disco &amp; chillwave to neo-soul &amp; nu-jazz to rn'b to old school, funk and 'real' hip hop, it's all fair game on "The Soul Shack". Each month, depending on Jamie's mood you may hear any or all of the above music - sometimes a mixed bag of 'all things soulful', sometimes just a particular theme or genre...but always soulful! With Soul Shack parties having occurred in Toronto, New York, Miami &amp; LA, the brand (and DJ-J-ME) continues to grow and gain new fans. Check this podcast for the latest Soul Shack mixes. (Archived Soul Shack mixes are available at www.mixcloud.com/soulshack) About DJ-J-ME: In demand, Toronto based dj who has played everything from 2,000 person Fortune 500 corporate events to Toronto rooftop hotspots like Kost &amp; Lavelle to a decade of TIFF events in Yorkville for various celebrities, as well as gigs in NYC, LA, Chicago &amp; Miami (where he enjoyed a monthly winter residency before Covid hit). His music style can be described as eclectic, sophisticated and soulful, using remixes, edits and acapellas to put a fresh twist on even the most well known songs, seamlessly mixing the familiar with relatively unknown lounge grooves and forgotten gems to provide a unique and engaging soundtrack.

        <![CDATA[<p>As much as I'm sitting on a pile of recordings to use for Soul Shack episodes, after I finished my set Friday night at Mansion, I was like "I should use this as a Soul Shack Mix". It's quite the musical journey - Beginning of the night is always just for me, and this time it involved the new Little Simz track Free, a small set of jungle remixes and of course at least one Sade track for the head bouncer, but then I went into (my version of) party mode, doing my best to rock the party, but with a mature Soul Shack influence, and trying to avoid most of the super cheesy and cliche sing along stuff (there's still a little bit though) and then finished off with a few classic house tracks.

        <![CDATA[<p>I felt like with me posting this mix the day after my birthday (on Mixcloud), it only made sense to use a recording that I named "Jamie's gift to himself". It's a live recording from my monthly at Clockwork, but this was the day after djing a set at Alvaro G's "Forty Nine" party, where I wanted to keep playing proper house music... so that's exactly what I did the next day at Clockwork! While recording, I had 2 people come up to compliment the music. When I asked if they were visiting or local, they were both locals, and when I asked a follow up, I already knew the answer - "did you used to go to Roxy Blu?", and of course they both said yes. So if you want to hear my personal taste in house music (heavily weighted with classics from the late 90's/early 00's), hit play now!</p><p><br>Follow on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dj_j_me">https://www.instagram.com/dj_j_me</a></p><p><br>Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id306968245">https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id306968245</a></p><p><br></p><p>Bookings &amp; Merch: jamiewichartz @ <a href="http://yahoo.ca/">yahoo.ca</a></p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>So back in April of last year, when I was celebrating my 50th at Better Days, along with the "So This Is 50" mix I posted earlier, I also recorded a new bar promo mix. Here's both parts, with the 1st half starting super chill and sort of staying at more of an urban tempo and under 110bpm the whole time. Lot's of 90's throwback hip hop &amp; rn'b, some 80's retro and a bunch of various other grooves, blends, reworks and eclectic goodness and then the 2nd half starts at mid tempo amapiano / kaytranada vibes, building to house, then closing out with throwback hip hop. Hope you enjoy this one! (And if you think your local watering hold would benefit from these vibes, tell them to book me to dj!)</p><p><br>Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id306968245">https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id306968245</a></p><p><br>Follow on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dj_j_me">https://www.instagram.com/dj_j_me</a></p><p><br>Bookings &amp; Merch: jamiewichartz @ yahoo.ca</p>]]>

      <itunes:summary>So back in April of last year, when I was celebrating my 50th at Better Days, along with the &quot;So This Is 50&quot; mix I posted earlier, I also recorded a new bar promo mix. Here's both parts, with the 1st half starting super chill and sort of staying at more of an urban tempo and under 110bpm the whole time. Lot's of 90's throwback hip hop &amp;amp; rn'b, some 80's retro and a bunch of various other grooves, blends, reworks and eclectic goodness and then the 2nd half starts at mid tempo amapiano / kaytranada vibes, building to house, then closing out with throwback hip hop. Hope you enjoy this one! (And if you think your local watering hold would benefit from these vibes, tell them to book me to dj!)Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id306968245Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dj_j_meBookings &amp;amp; Merch: jamiewichartz @ yahoo.ca</itunes:summary>

        <![CDATA[<p>I'm brought back "Cottage Cocktails"! I haven't posted a Cottage Cocktails mix since 2019, but after djing an amazing cottage tent wedding last summer, I was inspired to record a cocktail mix that would be the perfect soundtrack for that cottage setting (but the couple that weekend had their own plans for cocktail music) so the following weekend I recorded this during cocktails at a wedding downtown Toronto. Recorded in the big city, but this is meant to be listened to up in Muskoka, or at the very least while floating in a pool, or perhaps just sitting around a backyard bonfire (or sipping on a coffee or tea in your favourite comfy chair). Perfect laid back vibes as we say goodbye to summer and hello to sweater weather. Hope you enjoy!</p><p><br>Also, I'm sorry I'm so behind here on podomatic.

Beacon is an older crowd to begin with, and this particular night there were 2 birthday parties for women around my age, so there was plenty of retro remixes being thrown in the mix!

        <![CDATA[<p>So April 2020 at the start of Covid I got nostalgic and recorded a 90's (isolating in the) house mix. A year later Ontario was going into yet another 4 week lockdown and I got nostalgic again, posting a hip hop from my twenties mix. This year I figured I'd keep with this new tradition of nostalgia for April and am posting a Throwback rn'b mix! This mix is more mainstream than my usual more "neo soul" rn'b vibes, inspired heavily by a wedding I had recently dj'd, where the grooms wanted throwback rn'b during dinner.
