Rosco Smith - Straight From The Play Box

Big thanks to Rosco for the 180th Straight From The Play Box mix.

Rosco is based in Inverness in the Highlands of Scotland. He runs two regular OVO nights in the town, a mod/soul night (Ready Steady Go Go) and a R&B/Rock n Roll night (Hot Jam) with regular guest DJs and bands at each night. Been DJing and collecting records for well over 20 years.

"Occasionally I get out of the sticks to do guest spots at other nights across the country. Let me know if you'd like to book me to play at an event or club night. Although I am based in Scotland I spend about 20% of my time on the East Coast of the USA and I also travel in Europe often"

"The mix kicks off with an obscurity from the Delta Rhythm Boys, recorded and released in Finland. I’ve tried to span a lot of other genres in the rest of the tracks – with a focus for the dancefloor, as in all my sets. There’s some Soul, Northern, Popcorn, R&B, British Beat, Psychedelia and 3 cover versions in there – all in just 10 tracks"
