A soulful R&B x hip-hop mashup DJ set blending Ron Isley – “Contagious” (Acapella) with Cleo Sol – “When I’m In Your Arms” (Instrumental), performed live by the Crates & Needles Crew on HOT365 Radio.
The Crates & Needles Crew takes one of R&B's most dramatic storytelling records and lays it over Cleo Sol's warm, intimate soul production, creating a blend that feels smooth, emotional, and downright addictive. Three DJs move independently, locking into the same pocket in real time — no script, no safety net — allowing the vocals and groove to create something completely new.
And when this one hit the speakers...
🚨 REWIND! 🚨
The vibe was so undeniable, the crew had to run it back and let it breathe one more time. That's the sign of a true Crates & Needles moment — when the blend is too good to hear only once.
This one is pure grown-folk soul with a hip-hop mindset. Rich vocals, timeless storytelling, and a groove so deep it demanded a second spin.
Three DJs. Three instincts. One continuous sound — unscripted, unsanctioned, and uncivilized.
