This Is Just Like The Sister Funk Stuff Being Played At The Moment

[Guest Dr Pickles]

Not rare soul, but.............

Ignore the video and turn it up loud, this would fit in with an upfront funky set.

Sounds rather too electro and 80s for my taste Doc.  Maybe you should digest the thread about the Four Vandals?     

 

See you tomorrow night.

[Guest Dr Pickles]

Philistine.

I like it and it reminds me of mid to late 70's funk.

I'll be looking forward to Saturday and your unique view on the soul scene. 

I'm especially looking forward to our "cut and thrust" critique of what's being played by the dj's.

[Spacehopper]

not bad,good for today!! as in compared to most modern music...yes would have been better recorded in the 70s as it has that too crisp modern sound as did the four vandals compared to levines 70s productions IMO

 

see you both tomorrow

Do you mean "what the f*!k is this shit he/she is playing?!!"     Look forward to seeing you, Lou, Dean and Nicci tomorrow, weather permitting................wondered if you two might be waterlocked down there on the Zummerzet levels?

Pile of sh*te

Why would anyone into Northern want to hear stuff 'similar' to this played?

[Guest Dr Pickles]

Oh Pete, you'd be surprised what else some of us listen to.

I'm not suggesting it's played out, I just thought it was interesting.

[Chalky]

It was radio 2 record of the week few weeks ago.

I think she's great.

Maybe not this particular track but I love most of her stuff.

Very talented lady.

[Pete S]

I see.

Yes I guess so, it's ok.  I thought you meant we should all go out and dance to it, apologies for misinterpreting.  

You'd be surprised what I listen to to be honest...though to be fair, it doesn't include a lot of soul music.  Lot of Northern maybe.

[KevH]

Hint of Justine Timberland and Frank Farrell Williams in the backing.Not a bad effort for today's people. 

[Dazz]

Sounds very much like this top tune I've been listening to a lot at the moment

[pikeys dog]

Sounds like a James Brown production from the 70s rip off.

 

Somebody's been listening to Lynn Collins / Marva Whitney 

[Benji]

I don't like it. But others do, fair enough. But no soul night/allnighter material tho.

[Northern Soul Uk]

I like it!! As a new recording and release I think it's decent. No not Northern, but everything doesn't have to be, does it?

that guitar riff is off a jb record, cant think which one, something off black caesar or slaughters big rip off maybe.

Cool song though, I think, love that cow bell when ut comes in and p.f. definitely has talent and character

[Barry]

I like it, saw her do it on Norton last night - backing is more Washington Go Go than anything but it made me butt move.

[Cover-up]

Mik, the guitar riff is "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand, isn't it?!

[Sunnysoul]

Her voice is very thin and reedy , lacking in substance and depth, just another poppette like Joss Stone, Duffy, Amy Winehouse trying very hard to sound black, isn't she?

I think this would have been a massive record back in the late 80s/early 90s in the Acid Jazz/Funky/Rare Groove clubs of the time.

 

If this would fit with what is getting played at nighters now, then I'm well out of touch (thankfully).

Aye, it's not exactly a cutting edge sound, not even the cutting edge of retro, but it works as a party record from 1994 and that girl is a pretty cool character by today's drab standards, when your average youth icon unwinds by shopping around for competitive insurance quotes.

Anyway joe, we're old c***s now, this must be a revival of the 90s revival.

Can imagine some facebook types saying 'omg, that is, like, so old school? It samples, like, justin timberland?'

Shit. Maybe I should fuck all this r&b off, dust off my old 12s and start a revival of the acid jazz revival, it's the british way after all.

Played some far out stuff back then, remember those 10 minute long prestige and blue note tracks?! Wow.

In retrospect, that scene was shit.

You missed your chance with the Acid Jazz revival, Mik - shoulda done it a couple of years ago when they had the 25th anniversary. Say what you want about the scene but it did turn a a lot of the younger dudes in the 80s onto Jazz, soul and funk.

[Barry]

Barry,

Chuck Brown is turning in his grave ...

 

Oh well

[Jnixon]

so is the production. its horrible.  

 

a poor copyist or someone decent gave them a cast off and run off with a few hundred grand laughing hysterically. 

 

i couldnt see any self respecting dj who takes time to search for then play old records, playing this. having said that, im sure ill get asked for it at some point this year.

[Jordirip]

I can't hear any Go Go in it, well ok, there's a cowbell in the background, and I can't hear any 80's/90's rare groove/acid jazz going on either? It's a decent new release that should sound good in clubs, it's definitely an antidote to clubland house music or soporiphic Rn'B. I'm sure it'll end up being played at some local Northern night, especially if they do another video with some northern 'style' hoofers in the background.

[Barry]

...the way these innocent little threads spin off into La La Land is hilarious

absolutely, me included. The old music played on that scene was good - generally managed to sit nicely between the cheesier jazz-funk and the more raucus funk which came in later. the new records were often pretty bad though, until that sort of mo wax sound got a bit more interesting and less like lift music. It was responsible for jamiroquai as well.

Yep,

 

And F8cking it up...

[Mick Sway]

Nothing wrong with this IMOP.

Anyone that leads another generation away from One Direction or the Arctic Monkey's deserves praise.

Good for her, I say.

Reminds me of this:

[Mick Sway]

Fairchange - Let me be good to you

Nice, thanks for posting.

Hardly the run of the mill Gamble - Huff tune.

[Pete S]

I quite like this now, having heard it hundreds of times on the radio.

Never heard it until I saw this post, although the Mrs has been raving about it.

My radio listening doesn't extend much further than Radio 6 and 5 live.

Good thread though..

[Mal C]

I like Poloma Faith allot, shes a great singer..  and this is nice track, but it is what it is, Its a pop record....
