Just wondered if you would play something like this,I know its not traditional fare...and many would say it has no place on this scene....but it is a cracking newish R&B type dance tune

Any tunes you would play that you should'nt really ??

tune on next post

Bazza

Not actually a sample is it, thought it was Jamie Foxx (who was in the Ray film) singing? (I've only heard this because I am sporadically forced to listen to Radio 1 at work )

no not actually a sample,but flavored from RCharles track,some one correct me ,i may be wrong.

Don't knock Radio 1,mogadon for the masses.....or is that Big Brother?

Drop it like it's hot is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than that. I wouldn't play it either at a northern do but it's certainly better then that poppy sh*te.

And if a nigga gets attitude? Dropit it like it's hot! hahaha

Cheers

he is indeed the izzle and furthermost the shizzle dizzle,along with that Neptune fella.....you know, the new Curtis Mayfield......Pharrell Williams.

Not far off the mark Kev - Big Brother is pure shite for the masses.

I just don't believe ANYONE could even think of playing pop shite out anywhere. FFS what next Billy Ocean.

Hardly newish its just under 20 years old........and sorry, but there's a whole load of better modern R&B tunes out there....than this pile of 'swing beat' sh*te...... IMO of course......

Girf

In one - sorry.

Are you for real ? Billy Ocean is 'kin brill! Is it just cos he had some commercial success ?

His surname aint even Wilson !

But sorry Baz, Couldn't even click on the BB tune-I remember how much I hated it when it was in the charts. It always makes me think of Colonel Abrams- I'm Trapped. Must have been out around the same time.

Regards, Magoo.

I'm definately with you on this Bazza.

You are right. My point is, it is a recent pop hit, all be it nearly twenty years ago. Whould it get any play now if it was a new release, I doubt it.

The examples you gave above, the various types of soul are collectivly "Northern Soul" in my view.

Bobby Browns records and the type of R&B of his generation do not register with me as playable at a Northern venue playing across the board tracks. (I have got loads of modern R&B tracks in my collection as like most Northern Soul collectors i have picked up all sorts over the years)

By the way I do a bit of DJing with a large helping of modern in my spot, so I am not in any way "oldies only blinkered"

but when we talk about current R & B, i know i said Mary J Blige and R Kelly but they have been out since what early 90's maybe even late 80's. Only fact is they still make records appealing to younger people, Bobby Brown not done anything for a while not that i know off.

Maybe we can all dig out his albums and see what is lurking on them ready to play out.

I had the same idea wanting to play remix of Mariah Carey - We Belong Together which is a great tune

and of course times change, if they hadn't had Modern included as Northern style music i would not hear Crazy World - Kenny Thomas which i love

No No No. I think anyone playing this record at any nightclub of anykind would be laughed of the decks and then have rotten vegtables thrown at them.

The idea that this really bad record from really bad era of pop music could be played at a soul do is hysterical.

I think its a wind up.

My point is, it is a recent pop hit, all be it nearly twenty years ago.

Only on the Northern scene could this statement be made with a straight face ....

Only on the Northern scene... I am now laughing my head off :fool
