The Divine Chord Gospel Show
08.27.22
A series of monthly radio shows hosted by Greg Belson, dedicated to gospel soul, funk and spirituals from the 1960s thru to the 1980s. The Divine Chord Gospel Show branches out into gospel influenced cuts and artists that crossed over to performing secular cuts too; so plenty of rarities all played from original vinyl, either on 45 or LP format.
It’s that time of year when the Divine Chord Gospel Show Summer Soundclash Series 2022 begins to take flight.
For the next 4 sessions, we’re trawling the globe to find the heaviest Gospel collections on the planet, and inviting collectors to go head-to-head with DJ GREG BELSON for a spiritualized 2 hour session.
August is upon us which means it’s time to feature my second guest for this years DIVINE CHORD GOSPEL SHOW SUMMER SOUNDCLASH SERIES 2022.
Following on from the mighty session with Seattle’s finest Supreme La Rock (check Mixcloud for the archived rewind), we’re calling out a few thousand miles East, to Holland where we find our next ‘combatant’.
Next up in the audio saddle;
JEF HECKER (Maastricht, Netherlands)
Jef is known within collector circles as a deep digger. Just check out his contributions to ‘Digger’s Dozen’ and his instagram page to get a sip of his well stacked crates. Here at DCGS HQ, that’s exactly the kinda path we want to tread. Tune in for enlightenment. This one should be very very tasty, as he goes back-to-back with your host GREG BELSON.
Lined up for the rest of the series in 2022;
WAXIST (Lyon, France)
ONHIJAH (Texas, USA)
Quite the stacked set of combatants appearing on the 4th Saturday of the month thru October on dublab.
Join us as we runnin’ deep into teh gospels excavations. Check the flyer and date up your diaries.
No track played twice on DCGS, so each show is as fresh as the next! And that’s the truth.
