The Lost Soul : The Original DJ sets 1970s

This episode returns to the foundations of a real working DJ culture between 1974 and 1978, drawn directly from original setlists played at the Soul Cellar (Del Cellar) beneath the Birch Hotel.Often overlooked in the wider history of Northern Soul, funk and early disco, venues like this were part of a much larger underground network of clubs, cellars and pub rooms that kept dance music alive across the UK. While the famous venues dominate the story, it was these smaller, uncharted spaces that formed the backbone of weekly club culture.This set is an authentic replay from the original DJ box — not a reconstruction or a curated “best of,” but the actual records played on the night. Each track was selected in real time to serve one purpose: to hold the groove and keep the floor moving.Across this episode, you’ll hear a broad spectrum of soul sounds — deep soul, crossover tracks, dancefloor cuts and early disco influences — reflecting the reality of how DJs worked in the mid-1970s. There were no fixed playlists or digital shortcuts, just instinct, record knowledge, and a reading of the room.The Soul Cellar, like many of its kind, no longer exists, lost to redevelopment and the changing landscape of the UK. But the music remains, preserved in setlists and memories, and now brought back to life through this archive series.This is The Del- Cellar Collection — an authentic replay of DJ sets that filled those nights between 1974 and 1978. please follow it really helps .
