Who says Electronic Music can't have Soul ?

Hi and Happy Birthday to my lovely boy Callum ,sweet 17 today !
 This blog is called Music For The Soul and I am the Soul Guru ....I have a facebook page now for The Soul Guru and you can find me on twitter @TheSoulGuru, I'm on my way to be omnipresent as well as omnipotent (look it up ). Please start following me ,its lonely  here in cyber-space ,I need some new friends to play with !
 As well as Soul Music another passion of mine is Electronic Music ,from ambient to dance to drum and bass to dubstep and beyond...as I write this I'm listening to Apparat's great new DJ kicks compilation and as I travel through London I'm usually listening to banging drum and bass to get me in the required  " don't Fuck with me "mood .......it works too .
 A commonly held belief by ignorant people is that because Electronic Muisc is made by computers it can't have SOul....that is so much Bullshit ...... Listen to Leftism and try telling me that hasn't got Soul !
 I'm gonna do you all a favour by directing you to one of the best albums of the year in any genre by the amazing Mount Kimbie - a duo from London whose debut abum " Crooks & Lovers " is simply breathtaking .....I've heard them referred to a post-dubstep ( I must have been in Shoreditch where that kind of bullshit is commonplace  ) but to meet they are pure class ...modern ,Urban soundscapes that you can lose yourself in ,the album is soooooooo good ...and please check their mix of the amazing Andreya Triana's " A Town Called Obsolete " ( featured in this blog two weeks ago and essential listening...youtube it NOW ) .....modern electronica ( I hate that term too ) of the highest class with real Soul !
 I'm off to try to work out how Twitter works ...though I the notion of having a Tweet appalls me
 Ciao x
