Episode 253: c2eMusic August 2022 Suncebeat Reflections

c2eMusic Soulful Deep House

Hope everyone is well out there and you are finding the time to do the things that make you feel happy and fulfilled. I'm happy to say that I recently did so by flying over to Europe to attend this year's Suncebeat '22 festival in the beautiful Tisno, Croatia, followed by a trip back to the UK to visit family and friends.
This month's mix is a celebration of the music and vibes from the week-long party. This is the first time I've appreciated the people and connections as much as the music. It's an older crowd so refreshingly there isn't the ego you get on a typical night out, just happy friendly people with amazing life stories. Loved catching up with friends old and new, missing you all already!
The highlights for me were the excellent Deep Into Soul boat party with some of the UKs finest talent on display. The music they played really fired me up which I really needed. Another was Kenny Dope's kick-ass set at Barbarellas at 4am for two reasons. Firstly, the music was amazing, but I got to meet someone that has been listening to my mixes over the years and have chatted with online. We didn't recognise each other but were dancing near each other for over an hour! My friend got chatting to him and introduced me. He said he was Paul, I could hear he had a North American accent. I asked where he was from, he said "Canada". I asked if he was called "Paul F*" as I remembered talking to him a couple of months earlier online. That blew his mind!! He asked how I knew so I told him who I was - his reaction was priceless and something I'll never forget. We shared a BIG hug and took photos. It was a beautiful moment, a real connection with someone I have shared a virtual connection through our shared love of music. It's something I could never have imagined when all this began.
I couldn't wait to do this show, it's the most excited I've been in a looong time. I loved mixing it live on Pressure and I'm so happy with the result. I hope you come to love it as much as I do.
Finally a big shout to Andreas Hilden, who answered my cry for help and gave me some of my mixes that I have misplaced so I can restore the full c2eMusic collection on Podomatic.
