Hot Buttered Soul will once again be droppin' Funk, Boogie, Deep Disco and funky, feelgood soul from across the decades. Hand picking the best sounds from across the spectrum of black music, both old and new. Spinning only original vinyl for that 'authentic' sound and feel. This month we are proud to present a very special guest DJ Zaf Chowdhry. No stranger to pieces of plastic, Zaf managed/owned Reckless Records in London for seventeen years. He now concentrates his time on his own website www.zafsmusic.com which sells high-end disco, boogie and soul records. His in-depth knowledge and love of the underground has led him to compile the whole of the P&P series on Sussd Records, as well as the Deep Disco Culture series. Look out for 3 new compilations out later this year on BBE & Kindred Spirits. Zaf has been playing parties worldwide since the 80s, but now chooses to play one-off gigs when the feeling is right. 'Expect pure party music!' ... we can't wait! Listen/downloads Zaf's mix below: Mixcloud podomatic download Join the HBS facebook group
