Music to Move You! - Rare Soul & 60's Dance Music with DJ Mod Myke

This week on Music to Move You on Working Class Radio, I’m gearing up for a big night spinning at the Heart of Chicago Soul Club this Saturday. Before I can pack the box, I’ve got to unpack it—pulling records from last weekend's Mod Night and mixing in some Northern Soul to get properly hyped. From ska shuffles to garage grit and dancefloor soul, this set is all about finding the groove that keeps a room moving. A little nerves, a lot of excitement, and a stack of records ready to prove their worth. So grab your scissors—it’s time to cut a rug.New episodes premiere Tuesdays at 4pm (Central) and replay on Thursdays at 5pm (Central) on www.workingclassradio.com.Playlists and extended archives are found at www.mixcloud.com/djmodmyke.

This week on Music to Move You on Working Class Radio, we’re celebrating last Saturday, 3/14 in true St. Louis style. Pi Day to the math crowd, 314 Day to the locals—and the perfect excuse to spotlight the sounds of the Gateway City. Today’s show is a hometown tribute, spinning nothing but St. Louis artists and labels. From rare soul and Northern Soul to gritty R&B, rock ’n’ roll, and a splash of funk, this hour is packed with local legends and deep-cut gems. It’s proof that some of the finest grooves ever pressed came straight out of the Gateway City. Fontella Bass, Oliver Sain, Bob Kuban, and more. Turn it up and let St. Louis move you.New episodes premiere Tuesdays at 4pm (Central) and replay on Thursdays at 5pm (Central) on www.workingclassradio.com.Playlists and extended archives are found at www.mixcloud.com/djmodmyke.

Strap on your dancing shoes and buckle in for a high-velocity hour of winning tunes pulled straight from the sweat-soaked dancefloors of the 1960s! This week on Music to Move You, we’re hitting the ignition with a relentless mix of Northern Soul stompers, gritty Garage Rock, and sharp Mod favorites designed to keep you moving from start to finish. We’re spinning everything from the soulful roar of Jr. Walker and The Marvelettes to the raw, distorted energy of The Kinks and The Xtreems. Whether it’s the floor-filling magic of Dean Parrish or the wild, frantic rhythms of Mad Mike & the Maniacs, this is a sonic ride through the decade’s most electric underground sounds. Don’t miss a single beat as we bring the spirit of the 60s club scene directly to your speakers—only on Working Class Radio!New episodes premiere Tuesdays at 4pm (Central) and replay on Thursdays at 5pm (Central) on www.workingclassradio.com.Playlists and extended archives are found at www.mixcloud.com/djmodmyke.

Get ready for a high-octane journey into the heart of the "Modernist" movement this week on Music to Move You! We’re stripping away the later soul stompers to focus on the sharp, sophisticated sounds that birthed the Mod subculture, starting with the seminal Jazz of Dave Brubeck and Wes Montgomery. Fresh from the decks of Mod Night at The Royale, I’m digging deep into my crates to bring you the raw energy of early 60s R&B, the fuzz of garage rock, and the upbeat skank of Jamaican legends like Desmond Dekker and Baba Brooks. From the cool-headed origins of the first wave to the gritty, rare soul of Erma Franklin, this hour is a relentless, genre-bending tribute to the records that defined an era of style and rebellion.New episodes premiere Tuesdays at 4pm (Central) and replay on Thursdays at 5pm (Central) on www.workingclassradio.com.Playlists and extended archives are found at www.mixcloud.com/djmodmyke.

We’re digging deeper than ever into the crates this week at MtMY. While we’re staying true to our stash of Northern Soul and raw Garage Rock, we’re taking a scenic detour into the gritty, the funky, and the flat-out strange. From 70s crossover and funky gospel to some "instrumental weirdness" from the likes of Velvett Fogg and the Norman Petty Trio, this set is a soulful journey you have to hear to believe. We’re spinning everything from Louisiana Red and Bobby Bland to the high-octane medleys of The Magnificent Men—all on original vinyl, all upbeat, and all rare.

This week’s show takes off on a special route—an hour-long flight aboard Jamaican Airlines, cruising through reggae and ska covers of classic soul.
