Here’s a brand new mix from DJ Pari of the Soulpower RVA team and WRIR’s Midnight Soulstice radio show. Featuring tracks from Gonzalez, Bobby Patterson, Sam Dees, Maurice Jackson, The Procedures, and more, this mix is 75 minutes of sweet soul music to help you pass a mellow winter afternoon. There’s no big theme for this one, just a gaggle of songs that Pari has been “feeling and playing a lot lately.” It’s like he says, though: “Many of us love talking about Soul records. But now, we’ll let the records talk.” Sit back and enjoy these smooth jams, and make sure to keep up with Pari’s Mixcloud account, so that you can be the first to know when these new mixes hit the internet.

DJ Pari and Mr. Felty will bring their beloved Soulpower DJ night back to Balliceaux (203 N. Lombardy St.) next month on Saturday, February 16. There’s no facebook event page yet, but keep an eye on the Soulpower facebook account for details!

Richmond Loves Dolly Parton

I was gonna kill my husband in a cab in Peru, but “Islands in the Stream” came on the radio, and we stopped arguing and started singing. She could do that to you. You could totally be feeling some type of way, but if you put some Dolly Parton on, well, then you got a...
