Well a couple of firsts - the first time I’ve played in Manchester, and the first time I’ve played in a church (or at least a former one) 😆

A few actions shots from the build up and gig last night at Albert Hall - Louie Vega there Saturday but this was the real quiz obvs.

Newish kit to play on as well, which was a bonus ✨🎧

Well I'm not quite sure what to say after such a rewarding gig at The Concorde Club supporting Kenny Thomas and his band.

Whilst Kenny and his band were superb, the audience were as well and I was extremely grateful for the people who took the time to provide such kind feedback 🙏🏻

I figure I must have been doing something right, so I've taken the tracklist and made it into a Spotify playlist so you can enjoy it again: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7rWJzQ7i7pEVpD3DnGD1P8?si=6f4832bec29f4a9c

An absolute gentleman, as are his group, as well as being a fabulous vocalist ✨

🚨 FOR THE 350TH TIME! 🚨

Another show baked and delivered as soon as it's ready -- a fresh feast from the soulful house servery, where this time we’ve got some classic remix action from Masters at Work blended up with something deep, something disco and something banging to finish - find the tracklist here: djmartingale.com/tracklistings -350

🚨 HAPPY NEW YEAR, HAPPY NEW SHOW! 🚨

The first show of 2025, and I've put a few New Year's resolutions in action, including keeping things nice and simple and posting my shows just on my DJ profile rather than a separate radio show one - and here it is!

Rather than make you wait, I've also just posted the show now when it's ready -- again, just keeping it simple and natural ☺️

This one was fun to record because we're starting off high-vibe with a retrospective of 2024 and some of the best tracks we've enjoyed together 😀 - find the full tracklist at djmartingale.com/tracklistings -349

Nice to have had a professional photographer along for a change as well as great photos by friends - I love this photo 🙏🏻

Normally you’re treated to action shots where I’ve tried to prop the phone up somewhere and tried not to burn 🤣🙈

Still sounding great - Raze “Break 4 Love” from 1989 on glorious 7” vinyl 😍 Happy Saturday everyone 😀 #7inchsingle #7inchvinyl #cassettes #classichousemusic #discohouse #discomusic #feelgoodmusic #housedj #housemusicalllifelong #housemusicallnightlong #housemusicdj #housemusicfamily #housemusiclover #jackinhouse #janet #musicblogs #petshopboys #recordlover #soulfulhouse #springsteen #vinylcollectors

A closer look at another of Sunday’s meditative purchases - @katebushmusic “Running Up That Hill” in vinyl form. The thing that’s striking is how kind of warm it sounds compared to the streamed version - the audio on here is from the turntable, not an overlay so you can hear. Maybe it’s me, just sounds better ✨ Have a good day anyway, just getting my head together for Tuesday 🙏🏻 #recordcollector #vinyloftheday #vinylcollectionpost #vinylcollector #instavinyl #recordcollection #vinylrecord #vinylrecords #vinylcollection #vinyladdict #katebushmusic #strangerthings4 #katebush #katebushlyrics #vinyl #vintageaesthetic #classic #musicnerd #80s #katebushforever #80sstyle #vinylcollection #runningupthathill #thesensualworld #strangerthings

A closer look at my emotional purchase from @heathenchemistryrecords - give my Donna Summer “thing” I just couldn’t take my eyes off it 😍 #donnasummer #nowspinning #turntable #queenofdisco #donnasummerfan #discoqueen #the80s #vinylcollection #vinyl #recordnerd #vinyllover #picturedisc #vinylrecord #vinyloftheday #vinylrecords #vinylcollector #vinylcommunity #picturediscvinyl #vinyladdict #recordcollection #recordcollector

I heard @djlisaloud play this out a few years ago and it was absolute 🔥 A contender for tonight’s gig at @ritas_bar_and_kitchen definitely 👌🏻✨ Oh and never let anyone drink near your records 🙄 #classichousemusic #dj #djlife #housemusic #housemusicalllifelong #housemusicallnightlong #housemusicdj #housemusicfamily #housemusiclovers #music #producer #recordcollection #garagehouse #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylcollector #vinylrecords

Thought as I had a gig at @ritas_bar_and_kitchen next week and a new podcast episode tomorrow I’d advertise them both with one reel 🤣🎶🎧 (Excuse the funny faces, I have the perfect face for radio though) Next Saturday I’ll be at Rita’s from 7pm as usual, and the next podcast episode drops tomorrow morning 🎧 Subscribe via: - Apple Podcasts or Amazon Music search “Martin Gale Soul Essence”. - soundcloud.com/martingaledj - mixcloud.com/martinjgale - I’ve also registered with as many other podcast platforms as I can find as well 🙏🏻 Shoutouts, requests and feedback always welcome and appreciated - add a comment, DM or contact me via [email protected] or if all else fails djmartingale.com/contact ✍🏻 #podcast #radio #podcasting #podcaster #podcastshow #podcastshows #podcastlove #djlife #djing #dj #djset #housemusiclovers #discohouse #soulfulhouse #housemusic #housemusicalllifelong #soulfulhousemusic #jackinhouse #housemusicculture #deephousemusic #housemusicallnightlong #nudisco #deephouse #vocalhouse #housemusicfamily

In a crowded field I think this is still my favourite Jamiroquai remix - not available digitally and reasonably hard to get hold of on vinyl (this copy came from Italy), it’s one of Jay Kay’s hidden gems remixed well by Groove Assassin 🎶✨ It has a really nice build before this as well 🔥 #funkyhouse #housemusic #housemusiclovers #instavinyl #soulfulhouse #housemusicallnightlong #vinyllovers #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #vinylcollectionpost #vinyllove #vinyloftheday #vinylrecords #vinylrecord #vinylcollector #nowspinning #vinyllover #recordcollector #recordcollection #jaykay #spacecowboy #jamiroquai #cosmicgirl

Cheeky “You Got The Love”/“Praise You” mashup worked well at @ritas_bar_and_kitchen last night ✨🪩 Nice track from Battle Weapons on @bandcamp 🔥👊🏻 #lovethissong #party #electronicmusic #remixcontest #goodmusic #fatboyslim #praiseyou #housemusic #normancook #throwback #musicismylife #mashup #djgear #djslife #remix #pioneerdj #djing

When the postman brings a Discogs delivery 🙌🏻🎶🔥 Ty Brunson and Chanelle “All of Me” from 1995 - this Mount Rushmore mix isn’t available (that I’ve found) digitally and the vinyl is rare (and expensive) so when I saw this copy for reasonable money I grabbed it 👌🏻🎧 #housemusic #recordcollection #classichousemusic #deephouse #housemusicallnightlong #vinylcollector #housemusiclovers #vinylcollectionpost #vinylcollection #vinylcommunity #vinyladdiction #recordcollectionpost #recordcollection #recordoftheday #vinyllovers #vinylrecord #recordcollector #vinylrecords #vinylcollector #vinylclub #vinylgeek #turntable

My next Soul Essence Radio show drops on Monday morning and contains a public service announcement for my lovely friend @kathybrowndiva and those amazing people at @glitterboxibiza 🪩✨🎶🙏🏻 Subscribe via links in my bio 🙏🏻 #podcast #radio #podcasting #podcaster #podcastshow #podcastshows #podcastlove #djlife #djing #dj #djset #housemusiclovers #discohouse #soulfulhouse #housemusic #housemusicalllifelong #soulfulhousemusic #jackinhouse #housemusicculture #deephousemusic #housemusicallnightlong #nudisco #deephouse #vocalhouse #housemusicfamily

Very partial to a club classic when there’s a party in 🪩💃🏻✨ At one point the whole of that area at Rita’s Bar, Cocktails & Kitchen was dancing, such a great feeling 🎶🎧

About me

I love music. It’s my passion. It’s my happy place. It’s what I think about when I daydream.

It feels like being a DJ was always my destiny from when I was boy. From chopping up cassette recordings from the chart rundown with my dad on a Sunday to the life’s work that is my music collection, I always felt this was where I’d end up somehow. And here I am, coming into my 25th year as a DJ.

My fascination with the art began aged around 7 or 8 when I would avidly watch every move of the mobile DJs at our local social club. This addiction to the DJ’s craft developed over the years through being mesmerised by the scratch artistry of DJ Hype to admiring the production brilliance of people like Masters at Work. A common thread in all my heroes has been a combination of their professionalism, attention to detail and most importantly that ability to take people on a journey through their music. It’s these traits that I’ve always tried to incorporate in what I do whether it’s when I go out to play or on my radio show.

I’ve spanned a few genres over the years. I learned to mix in the earlier days of hardcore, modelling myself on people like Slipmatt and Carl Cox, before progressing into house music and the smoother more refined sounds of the likes of David Morales, Erick Morillo and Louie Vega. I’m not a music snob however and I do enjoy also a good blast of some “guilty pleasures” at a party every now and again. This goes right back to my original fascination with the fundamental art of the DJ as an entertainer and all round people-pleaser.
