My latest mix is now online. Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 19:00h. In addition, earlier Venus Tunes Sessions shows are repeated every Friday between 20:00-21:00 and Tuesday 21:00-22:00.Freak 31 has around 250 daily listeners (less during the week, more in the weekend) and a total of +10.000 listeners every month. In addition to Mixcloud and Hearthis, all mixes are also available as podcasts on Deezer and iTunes.It was in 2015 when I had my first official dj gig and since 2016 I started to perform regularly. This took place in Amsterdam's Skyybar, Floor17 and The Harbourclub Zuid... bit by bit, other places like Momo and W Amsterdam followed, leading to club bookings as a dj and festival bookings with Venus Tunes Live in the Netherlands and abroad. All of this in addition to my normal life as a musician. I love dj'ing as it adds another facet to my musicianship.Listen to all editions of the Venus Tunes Sessions where you like; choose your platform: Venus Tunes Sessions is a monthly guest mix by Susanne Alt on Freak31, aired every first Sunday of the month at 1900h.

As its subtitle suggests, it is Brown's third album recorded at the Apollo Theater, following the original Live at the Apollo (1963) and Live at the Apollo, Volume II (1968).The album is notable as the first of his live albums to include a spoken introduction by his longtime master of ceremonies, Danny Ray.This album has been recorded after the Europe tour and some band members had left ( I just checked in James Brown's autobiography). So, Bootsy just left, but Fred Wesley stayed.. St. Clair Pinckney still in the band, probably the saxophonist who played in James Brown's band for the longest time. Maceo Parker sounds a lot like him but Pinck has that significant squeek which somehow echoes the squeeks of JB's voice... Further: Bobby Byrd on vocals and keys, Jimmy Parker (alto sax), Jerone 'Jasaan' Melson and Russell Crimes, trumpet; Hearlon Sharp Cheese Martin and Robert Coleman on guitar, Fred Thomas on bass, John Morgan and Jabo Starks on drums and Johnny Griffin on congas.This Sunday, 15-07-2017, The Original JB's will perform at Paradiso, Amsterdam! Featuring Martha High, Fred Wesley and Danny Ray. from the pictures I saw, it includes many members of the James Brown band I met in 2007, including bass player Fred Thomas, Hollie Farris, Leroy Harper, Spike Nealy... Looking forward to it!Go to Paradio's website and secure your tickets!
