Event: Ashton Ukrainian Club Review: 5 stars by Micksmix. Event Date: 20 Apr 2024 A bit of a Whirlwind last night, in the words of Tim Ashibende a real diverse mix of music. All kicked off by Phil Dunn as always a varied and interesting mix. Debutant DJ Gamekeeper Jones followed quality soul from the early 60s toast to the lady sounded great all over again and the brilliant Paul Sindab I was a fool the stand out tracks for me. We had a two hour double deck session from birthday boy John Weston and Les Norman Barbara Hall big man ... Tap to view the full event review

DJ Andy Smiths Northern Soul Essentials LP - RSD 2024 View full article
-
RSD 2024 saw a limited edition comp Lp released, blurb and video trailer follows below... Harlem Shuffle Records presents ANDY SMITH’S NORTHERN SOUL ESSENTIALS L.P. 14 Fast Spinning Soul Stomper by DJ Andy Smith - for dancers mostly! With stunning Northern Soul photographs by Richard Oughton GREEN VINYL ALBUM COMPILATION OF 14 TRACKS 750 COPIES LIMITED EDITION L.P. Exclusive to RECORD STORE DAY - on sale April 20th 2024 in stores participating in Record Store Day. ABOUT THIS RELEASE 50 years ago, on the 23rd of September 1973, Wigan Casino started its first-ever Northern Soul all-nighter, an incredibly popular event that was celebrated all over Britain - from the vibrant Northern Soul clubs all the way to the BBC Proms. To celebrate further, Harlem Shuffle Records asked DJ Andy Smith, of Portishead and “The Document” fame among others, and also an accomplished Northern Soul DJ, to hand pick this unique blend of fast and furious Northern Soul masterpieces, a genre Andy particularly loves. It is a collection of 14 fast spinning tracks produced during the sixties by crème de la crème of Soul producers Jack Ashford, Lorraine Chandler, Darrow Fletcher, Harry Bass, and Kent Harris. These are pure Northern Soul stompers, there is no Modern Soul and no crossover whatsoever here. These 14 relentless tracks convey particularly well the energy of Andy Smith live DJ sets. “Andy Smith’s Essentials” is for the true fans and the dancers also who like the finest Northern Soul on vinyl. Even those who normally don’t partake in Northern Soul will no doubt be tempted by this unique release of 14 relentless driving beats on this gorgeous neon green record superbly illustrated by the work of Northern Soul photographer Richard Oughton. NOTE: this 750 copies’ limited edition is the only release on vinyl and there will be no downloads. A FEW WORDS FROM DJ ANDY SMITH “Roll on to the 90s and while digging for samples with my portable turntable for the band Portishead I would randomly come across records that were more Soul than Funk and realised that these were Northern Soul. I quickly saw how great these tunes were and continued to dig for these records, eventually adding them to my multi genre DJ sets. After doing Northern Soul nights at the Jazz Cafe in Camden Town, London (and releasing my first Northern Soul compilation on Ace/ BGP records) Keb Darge asked me to DJ at Madame Jo Jos in Soho, London where Northern Soul featured heavily on the musical menu. Now, I do a regular Northern Soul night at The Rivoli Ballroom in Brockley, South London and often appear at Levanna Mclean's (“the Northern Soul girl”) events in Bristol. Hope you enjoy this essential selection of Northern Soul.” ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER RICHARD OUGHTON Richard has been covering the Northern Soul events for over 15 years in U.K. and abroad. He owns a vast collection of gorgeous Northern Soul related photographs from Blackpool to Brazil. His photographs play brilliantly with motions and shadows and truly capture the magic of the scene as the two superb photos featured on this album demonstrate. The front cover photo was taken at Blackpool Tower Ballroom in November 2016 while the back one was taken at Blackburn Wigan Casino 45th anniversary in September 2018.

'God's Love' is the newest rendition from The Harlem Gospel Travelers. Plucked from the depths of the Numero Group catalog, the group gives this hidden gem a modern, bright, exciting and refreshing spin. The track showcases George's phenomenal falsettos; his voice entrancingly soars. This, matched with the tight melodic harmonies from the rest of the group, makes it as if they are one voice. It's a strong blend that hasn't been displayed from HGT before. To make the track their own, the group pulls inspiration from modern R&B and alternative music. They're taking their music, style, and look in a new direction. "This song is meant to be a hug when you need it...." member and co-producer Ifedayo explains, "....to make you smile when you want to cry. And most of all, to make you feel loved." Produced by Eli "Paperboy" Reed & Ifedayo download... https://colemine.lnk.to/clmn12052
