"The Soul Shack" w/ DJ-J-ME

47 episodes - English - Latest episode: 2 months ago - ★★★★★ - 30 ratings

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 & classic house to nu disco & chillwave to neo-soul & 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 & 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 & Lavelle to a decade of TIFF events in Yorkville for various celebrities, as well as gigs in NYC, LA, Chicago & 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.

Episode 208: 2023 Sunday Morning Edition (DJ-J-ME Cottage Mix Series)

February 18, 2024 00:00 - 2 hours - 186 MB

The last instalment of the 2023 Cottage Mix Series, the "Sunday Morning" edition (unless I decide to make a live recording from Kasa Moto or Black & Blue into a 2023 Summer Home In Mykonos edition ;-) Soul Shack fans should still enjoy (it's still based on my personal taste in music) but this one is the more chill background vibes and has a much wider audience, so please, if you appreciate this mix, share the link! Share it with coworkers, family and facebook friends! Thanks! Book...

Episode 207: Sat. Night Edition (2023 Cottage Mix Series) Recorded live at Mansion House July 21, 2023

December 22, 2023 00:00 - 2 hours - 197 MB

I took a poll on Instagram, which should I post first, Saturday Night Editon or Sunday Morning Edition...and Saturday Night won! So September is a bonus "Saturday Night Edition" recorded live on Niagara's biggest wildest patio at Mansion House earlier in the summer. Recording it live at a gig like this I kept it pretty mainstream (just like the Friday Night Editon), so no obscure gems here, no lounge vibes, just youthful party vibes (including my mashup of Morgan Wallen's Last Night...

Episode 206: DJ-J-ME Cottage Mix 2023 (Saturday Afternoon Edition) aka August Soul Shack

November 21, 2023 00:00 - 2 hours - 225 MB

Sorry for the delay in posting, I kept missing my window to upload a new mix before I went over my bandwidth limit, but here it is, the return of the very popular "Saturday Afternoon Edition" from the Cottage Mix Series. This mix was recorded live at the Thursday Ladies Night residency I was doing and it's pure retro nostalgia for the grown folks! (There's even a little freestyle set snuck in with some of my favourites) Hope you're had a great summer and hope you're able to enjoy t...

Episode 205: DJ-J-ME Cottage Mix 2023 (Friday Night Edition Pt 1 & 2) aka July Soul Shack

August 29, 2023 00:00 - 4 hours - 357 MB

I'm bringing back the Cottage Mix Series for 2023! July (it was posted earlier on Mixcloud) is the Friday Night Edition, recorded live at a "Retro Attic" party, where all of the song selections had to be at least 10 years old, so nothing but throwbacks! Recording it live at a gig like this I had to keep it pretty mainstream, so no obscure gems here, but definitely some guilty pleasures lol! (Next up will be a new Saturday Afternoon edition which is already available on Mixcloud, and...

Episode 204: The Soul Shack (May/June 2023) aka "Live @ The Broken Shaker LA"

June 24, 2023 00:00 - 5 hours - 433 MB

I've been sitting on this mix for a while! Back in November I finally made it back out west and did another poolside rooftop set at the Broken Shaker LA. It felt so good to be back there (I hadn't been since Jan 2020). I love when I get the freedom to play like this and not have to focus on creating "energy", and instead just create a "vibe". Sadly Broken Shaker was already booked up through August, so I won't be back on the rooftop this July, but if you know of any other dj opportu...

Episode 202: The Soul Shack (Jan/Feb 2023) aka "2022 House Music ReCap"

March 22, 2023 00:00 - 4 hours - 339 MB

It's January, and that means looking back with my #housemusic recap from the past year. A journey through various styles of house and the tracks that caught my attention in 2022 including songs & remixes from #&ME #rampa #adamport #keinemusik #kerrichandler #pablofierro #channeltres #waxmotif #boysnoize #fredagain and more! This was split into 2 parts over January & February on Mixcloud, but combined here as I'm still trying to catch up here on Podomatic! Say it with me #houseisafee...

Episode 201: The Soul Shack (Nov/Dec 2022) aka "DJ-J-ME Lounge Promo 2022"

January 20, 2023 00:00 - 3 hours - 303 MB

So back in the winter, along with the Bar Promo I also recorded a 2022 Lounge Promo. It's a great mix, more of a sexy vibe than the bar promo, so I posted half as the 17yr Anniversary Mix for November (can't believe I've been doing this podcast for 17 years!!!) and the other half for December... and here's the full mix. Hope you enjoy! Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dj_j_me Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id306968245 Bookings & Merc...

Episode 200: The Soul Shack (Sept/Oct 2022) aka "2022 Bar Promo"

December 01, 2022 00:00 - 1 minute - 357 MB

So back in the winter when places finally started opening up again, I recorded a 2022 Bar Promo mix, thinking I'd use it to try and get some gigs...and then got so busy that I never gave it to any venues! It's a great mix, so I figured I should use it as a Soul Shack mix before the year ends! Here's the full live recording with the "first half of the night" being a mix of funk, soul, retro, hip hop, rn'b, indie alternative, lots of blends and reworks...a real mixed bag, and the 2nd ...

Episode 198: The Soul Shack (May/June 2022) aka "Birthday Livestream 2022"

July 30, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 233 MB

I think this is going to be my last Birthday Livestream, but I guess we'll find out next April. I had a visual theme for this one, the first half of the stream I had Pretty In Pink playing behind me and played all new wave CFNY retro and classic house, and for the second half I had the movie Juice playing behind me and played all late 80's / early 90's hip hop & rn'b throwbacks... very self indulgent! So if you missed the actual livestream because you were watching that painful Rapt...

Episode 197: The Soul Shack (April 2022) aka "Throwback Rn'B Mix"

June 17, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 171 MB

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 wan...

Episode 196: The Soul Shack (March 2022) aka "2021 Lounge Music ReCap Pt 1"

May 18, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 215 MB

Here is my annual lounge music recap from the past year. (This year was a little different and I already did the funkier hip hop flips/blends/re-edits recap in February) As usual, lots of range here in tempo and style, some new stuff, some reworks of old (and one actual "old" song that I discovered via Skratch Bastid last year and just had to include), but all (non house) stuff that I really liked in 2021. So fix yourself a drink, sit back and enjoy the vibes (or lets be real, throw...

Episode 194: The Soul Shack (Feb 2022) aka "2021 Lounge Music ReCap Pt 2"

April 20, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 223 MB

February is usually my lounge music recap of the previous year, which tends to be smoother rn'b/soul/nudisco/retro re-edit vibes that I would play at lounge gigs (going back to my days @ dBar). That's still coming in March, but this year I felt I needed to create a new recap, this 1 being all the amazing flips/blends/reworks/re-edits & general funkiness from Bandcamp/Soundcloud/Patreon etc. There's still a few official releases in here, but for the most part it's creative new vision...

Episode 194: The Soul Shack (Jan 2022) aka "2021 House Music ReCap"

March 23, 2022 00:00 - 2 hours - 189 MB

It's January (well it was when I posted this on Mixcloud), and that means looking back with my #housemusic recap from the past year. A journey through various styles of house and the tracks that caught my attention in 2021 including songs & remixes from #moodymann #ampfiddler #jimpster #osunlade #natashadiggs #yuksek #artoftones #&me #rampa #adamport #atjazz #shimza #LLV #miguelmigs #Channeltres #purplediscomachine #rufusdusol and more (as well as my own #Wizkid retouch) Say it with...

Episode 193: The Soul Shack (Nov/Dec 2021) - "16 Yr Anniversary Mix" (live @ Function Bar)

February 18, 2022 00:00 - 5 hours - 417 MB

He's done with the Cottage Mix Series...finally!!! Yup, gotta get back to the Soul Shack vibes and celebrate 16 Years of the podcast! 192 episodes! Crazy! If this were pre-Covid, I'd be recording this mix down in Miami under palm trees...but it's (it was) 2021, and we're now in the 4th wave of the pandemic, so still no traveling for me. Thankful though that at least I got to record this mix live this year instead of on Twitch like last year. This was recorded at a little spot in Toronto cal...

Episode 192: The Soul Shack (Sept/Oct 2021) aka Sunday Morning Edition - Cottage Mix 2021

January 18, 2022 00:00 - 6 hours - 526 MB

It's finally recorded! Old people my age you're gonna LOVE this mix! Definitely if you're a fan of laid back chill vibes to ease into the weekend with a coffee (or with me posting this on Podomatic in January, for hibernating through the cold & snow of winter). This is the last (and possibly best) installment of the Cottage Mix Series "Sunday Morning". I broke it into 3 parts on Mixcloud, but I'm trying to catch up here, so it's all one long 6+ hour mix! Soul Shack fans should stil...

Episode 191: A Soul Shack Christmas (2021) - DJ-J-ME

December 17, 2021 00:00 - 4 hours - 366 MB

This is my Christmas gift to you. (I'll jump back to where I was in the uploading of mixes and post the Sunday Morning Cottage Mix and the 16 Year Anniversary Mix in January & February, but this one needed to get posted before Christmas!) After recording last year's Christmas Cocktails and trying to make it timeless I thought I didn't need to make another one this year... but then decided why not make a Soul Shack Christmas! A proper Soul Shack mix with Soul Shack music, but mixed with Chr...

Episode 190: The Soul Shack (Aug 2021) aka Friday Night Edition - Cottage Mix 2021

November 20, 2021 00:00 - 4 hours - 399 MB

Instead of my usual Soul Shack Summer Soundtrack, I'm continuing with the 2021 Cottage Mix Series, this time the Friday Night Edition (the party vibes!). Soul Shack fans should still enjoy (it was my first live gig in 499 days!). It's similar to Better Days vibes which is why I'm posting it as the August mix and not a special non-soul shack mix, but this one definitely has more mainstream appeal, so please, if you appreciate the mix, share the link (and feel free to let me know on Instagra...

Episode 186: The Soul Shack (July 2021) aka Saturday Afternoon Edition - Cottage Mix 2021

People my age you're gonna LOVE this mix! Definitely if you're a fan of #depechemode #neworder #thecure (if you grew up in the Toronto area and listened to CFNY) Instead of my usual Soul Shack Summer Soundtrack, this year I'm doing a Cottage Mix Series, with the first installment being the Saturday afternoon vibes. Soul Shack fans should still enjoy (it's still based on my personal taste in music) which is why I'm posting it as the July mix and not as a special non-soul shack mix, ...

Episode 185: The Soul Shack (May & June 2021) aka "Birthday Livestream 2021"

September 20, 2021 00:00 - 3 hours - 330 MB

I broke this livestream recording into 2 parts on Mixcloud (where you can only stream, but I am up to date there) but as I'm trying to catch up here on Podomatic (where if I miss my small window to upload a new mix, I max out my bandwidth for the month and can't upload anything new) I'm just uploading the whole mix as one, so this is May & June. With Canada still under a stay at home order back in April, I decided to do a birthday livestream again this year, the first on my new Twitch page...

Episode 184: The Soul Shack (Apr 2021) aka "Hip Hop From My 20's Pt 1 (backpack boombap edition)

July 16, 2021 00:00 - 2 hours - 219 MB

So last April I got nostalgic and recorded a 90's (isolating in the) house mix. A year later Ontario is going into our latest 4 week lockdown and I'm getting nostalgic again, but this time for the hip hop from my twenties. There will be a second "street" edition, but part one here is (for lack of a better word) more of the "backpack" stuff. Still boom bap, but not the street, club or radio stuff... this is the jazz sampling more underground stuff. I had to put #Dilla on the artwork ...

Episode 183: The Soul Shack (Mar 2021) aka "2020 Lounge Music ReCap"

June 17, 2021 00:00 - 3 hours - 290 MB

Pushed back a month this year, but here is my annual lounge music recap from the past year. (it almost works better with the sunshine and spring being just around the corner!) As usual, lots of range here in tempo and style, some new stuff, some reworks of old (as well as a bunch of my own retouches), but all (non house) stuff that I really liked in 2020. I recorded it at home this year (thanks pandemic) so there's even a little TicToc inspired twist at the end! So fix yourself a dr...

First on Soulstream Networks, then Podomatic, & then 5 yrs ago I started archiving on Mixcloud too. Crazy! 180 episodes! If this were like the last few years, I'd be recording this mix down in Miami under palm trees...but it's 2020, covid sucks, so I figured I'd still try to do something a little special & recorded i...

Episode 180: The Soul Shack (Oct 2020) Recorded Live In Miami (pre-Covid)

March 18, 2021 00:00 - 4 hours - 360 MB

I was undecided on what to post for October (no new mixes because there's no new gigs) and I finally decided I'd go back almost a year, from the same Miami trip I recorded the 14yr Anniversary mix last year! When I started this podcast almost 15 years ago, my goal was to make timeless mixes - lets see if I've accomplished that; let me know if this is a good listen a full year after being recorded! Also pay attention on social media, I think I'm gonna do a livestream on Twitch in Apr...

Episode 179: The Soul Shack (Sept 2020) live @ Better Days, Miami

January 21, 2021 23:01 - 3 hours - 329 MB

There will be Better Days ahead! I haven't played a gig in over 1/2 a year now, so no new mixes to post, leaving me to dig into the archives. One of the places I miss playing the most is Better Days in Miami, so I figured I'd post the recording from my last time there, back in January. I play an afterwork set there, so it starts a little more chill and then builds up to a party vibe for the late nite dj to take over. My Better Days sets are definitely different to my other Miami set...

Episode 178: The Soul Shack (Dec 2020) aka "Christmas Cocktails 2020"

December 17, 2020 00:00 - 4 hours - 342 MB

I know I'm still playing catch up here on Podomatic and the last post was the Summer Soundtrack, but it would be pointless to eventually post the December mix a few months from now, when the December mix is a "Christmas Cocktails" mix including Christmas music! So the next mix I post after this will be the September mix and so on, but for now, to get you into the Christmas spirit I give you "Christmas Cocktails 2020". I've posted a Christmas Cocktails mix on Mixcloud for about the...

Episode 177: The Soul Shack (July & Aug 2020) aka "Summer Sndtrk Pt 1 & 2"

Sadly I wasn't able to record it live somewhere this year, but it still needed to be made! This is a 4hr mix of new and old warm and sunny eclectic vibes, you're gonna love it! I'm also trying something new for this mix and turning OFF "downloads" - if you want to download this mix, all you gotta do i...

I always dj for my birthday, but this year was very different! With Covid-19 shutting down all gigs, I still wanted to dj for my birthday, so I went the livestream route. Thank you to the 200+ people that helped me celebrate & checked into the livestream & all of the people that participated in the comments/chat to make me feel more connected to people...& not just djing alone in my living room lol! This might become an annual thing! I split the mix into 2 parts on Mixcloud (go there for ye...

The Soul Shack (Apr 2020) aka "90's (isolating in the) house mix"

July 18, 2020 00:00 - 3 hours - 307 MB

This is special. I was supposed to be djing a "grads of the 90's" reunion dance in May for my old high school, but it was obviously cancelled. I thought about recording a short 90's mix with a bit of everything...but that idea morphed into this 90's house mix. Putting this together was beyond nostalgic. I didn't realize the significance of this time period. In 1990 I was in gr 10, by 2000 I got married. In the decade between I started going to all ages clubs (NRG in Burlington) then...

January 05, 2020 16:48 - 4 hours - 360 MB

The Soul Shack turned 14 in November!!! 168 mixes (+ a few bonus "non-soul shack" mixes on Mixcloud), crazy! This year we celebrated in Miami again, but bigger with parties Fri to Sun! This recording is from the Saturday night (same place as the 13 Yr Anniversary mix) so same cool eclectic vibes, just less sunshine influenced than the Sun afternoon mixes recorded there. On top of celebrating the Soul Shack anniversary, the weekend also kicked off my new monthly Miami residency for the winter...

Oops! I can't believe I haven't posted a new mix since the September mix. My bad. You can't download, but you can always stream the Soul Shack mixes in advance (on time) at my mixcloud page (wink wink). So for now I'll post October, wait a little bit, then post November (but at the same time I'll be posting the mixcloud only NON-Soul Shack "Christmas Cocktails 2019" mix. This mix is a nice slow build, starting off with a slower Coldplay remix, then building into house/nudisco before sne...

The Soul Shack (Sept 2019) w/ DJ-J-ME live @ One Loft Mr. V Party

October 26, 2019 00:00 - 1 hour - 107 MB

We brought Mr. V back to Toronto on Sept 7th and even though this party was going to be more of a house music warehouse party... I felt it was still appropriate to open the night up Soul Shack style, starting out at 90bpm "proper" hip hop vibes, and building to house music for everyone else to take over (thinking back to the lounge in Roxy Blu back in the days, before opening the main room). This is my opening set, going from NXWorries & Thundercat to 124bpm house music in under 1.5hrs! (cra...

Ok, so I recorded this one at the beginning of summer on June 28th (hence the summer themed first several songs)...but waited until the end of summer to post it. It's an eclectic lounge vibe with an unexpected Smashing Pumpkins ending, brought on from music talk with the bartender. Enjoy!

Advance tickets avail at eventbrite. Hope to see you there! As for this mix, I almost forgot to post a July mix, oops! This one's been waiting 4 months to get posted!

April 19, 2019 00:00 - 4 hours - 332 MB

I've been sitting on this mix for 2 months! I was down in Miami in February and recorded this mix on a sunny afternoon poolside, under the palm trees...and it definitely influenced the musical vibe! These Sunday afternoon sessions in Miami whenever I'm down there are quickly becoming my favourite gigs! Enjoy!

The Soul Shack turned 13!!! 156 mixes (+ a few bonus "non-soul shack" mixes on Mixcloud), crazy! This year I recorded the anniversary mix at a Sunday afternoon gig in Miami, by the pool, under the sun & palm trees...that really influenced the musical vibe!
