Every now and then I hear some really great tunes played by inspirational DJs who don't play it safe, record after record , with the obvious tracks everybody knows . Recently these have included -

Little Reuben 'In the name of loneliness'

Joe Hinton 'Got you on my mind '

Annette Poindexter 'Wayward dream '

Joe Walker 'This is my last goodbye '

Dynamite Singletary 'I really love you'

Richard Caiton 'I'd like to get near you'

Soul Steppers 'Soulstep'

That's so sweet Liam, thank you.

See you on NYE, we must make sure our sets dont clash, I really want to hear you dj!

Richard Caiton 'I'd like to get near you'

First played out by my my good friend Andy Whitmore... more years ago than I care to remember... has to be coming up to 20 years or so I would say.

I agree though... awesome tune...

Is there room for 'playing it safe' these days?

The statement comes up frequently - and if people do, how, that is if they aren't keeping feet on floors, do 'these people' get bookings.

Is it not just again, opinion?

for me it was Jason P of Carolina , what a great Radio stream he did , top funk and soul all the way

I thought "playing it safe" was keeping feet on floors.

There's better and more imaginative ways of keeping the floor going, but how many times have you heard a DJ revert to the same old same old, when he hasn't got a feel for the floor?

Sticking Nolan Porter on halfway through an R'n'B set, in order to get some on the floor, is a distinct sign of failure IMO.
