Len Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 thanks for that len, great to see you and steve at the 'old mans' birthday event in thorne sat. all dee-jays booked have the experience to know as to whether they should 'push' the mid-tempo boundary or not, it's up to them, they're all very, very good dee-jays and will know what to do. the 'tag line' is Nowt Fast and Nowt Furious, and as long as it ain't fast (100 mph) or furious (a cacophony of 100 mph sounding soul-less noise) then it'd be fine, quite a big scope there really. pushing boundaries is fine, smashing them down just to make a point is something i feel the team won't do. there's mid tempo RnB, Modern, Cross, Northern from 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2yk massive scope without being Fast or Furious. don't want to put 'rare' tag on or 'rarely played' tag because one mans' Rare is another mans' Common. we most certainly don't want to tell the dee-jays what to play (as some promoters oft do) we're just respectfully asking them if they could please avoid Fast and Furious, there's enough venues that provide that type of soul. phew! sorry to go on a bit but it's simple really Nowt Fast, Nowt Furious but anyother type of danceable soul will be fine I don't understand... ...Only joking! - Yes that's makes sense mate! lol. All the best, Len. Link to comment
Skegsoul Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Mo and me are so looking forward to playing, what we think is very nice ' mid- tempo ' soul Link to comment
sjay Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 (edited) I'm a lover of mid- tempo, and it's a fine line up of dj's , but what i'm struggling with is who decides when the tempo strays from mid-to say up, a lot of brilliant 70's,80's tunes that fit in with a mid-tempo set, i think the premise of as you say Mick 'Nowt fast and furious, is quite restricting on the dj, and (just my viewpoint) could stifle the dj and that is a shame, i know Mick & Mo and Mark Whiteley well and also have heard and know their take (excellent too) on soul. I'd be interested in seeing the playlists, because i'd for one hate to be restricted in my choice of soul, this isn't a criticism just an opinion. I would have definitely come to this but i'm afraid i'm playing elsewhere, hopefully ill make a future date, and i'll be there with my tempo gauge... Brett Hi Brett , hope you are well , my solution is simple I plan to do as normal............................................. +pitch my crossover dirges up . and -pitch my modern disco sh*te down , oh and try to avoid playing anything you can do back-drops and acrobatic floor-work to , and most importantly keep it SOULFUL Edited August 15, 2011 by sjay Link to comment

Brett Hi Brett Thanks for your imput, really interesting,I go to many various nights from all out modern to all out oldies, (well not so much all out oldies these days) like I'm sure many people do, and I must admit I like a variation of music during the night. So I know how you feel, I felt the same way when we thought about this, but what we found is - as long you can dance to the tune (in most cases) we didn't want people just standing around and on the first night it worked a treat, dance floor was very busy, loads of choices really just nothing fast and furious, and as Mick said there are loads of upbeat nights around this area so we thought we would try something a bit different. Really hope you can make our next one in December to meet up and chat about it. Barry Link to comment
coops Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 two of 'the four yorkshiremen' put their lives in their hands as one of them uses sign language to ask for some soulful house at the nowt fast, nowt furious event...... Link to comment
