robin lyn is grt but its out and out garage, in its purest and most brilliant form, which hits on an interesting piont really; there's little difference apart from tempo to what the london massive were doing to what was going on in new jersey at the same time, is there?

i forgot how good the waterstones were, I class most of the stuff I've got on bump 'n groove as house, but I sposse its got a definate street feel, I'm with you on some of the shite that passes as house on the northern scene, its like they think those high end filters on tunes are compemporary when they actually souned so old hat.

it was the late 70's for me with the comics thing but I'm with you on the adds, never been to north america so I was made up to buy a 'twinkie' in macclesfeild last year.

its the back of the van stuff I've held back, hard to work out if some of these were boots of official release though or just very inide releases.

Just wondered if there's anything of listing value in this genre, could it one day be of interest to soul fans? will ever sell a big batch of this genre I've been trying to off load for an age? t seems impossible now, but plenty are on independant lables and seems relativly obscure, probably sold in limited no's to a pretty black audience in the uk. I hated the stuff at the time and remember thinking 'if only there was a house mix on this '12'! anyone collect it? any recconmentdations, is teddy riley the new Messiah?

Dont know if you count as the same age, or got into the scene at the same time, the 8ts, but motown seemed pretty unfashionable, imho, at that time, and I certaily dismissed mt as not as good as the real deal, ie proper northern. OK, 'suspicion' and 'come on back to me baby' were massive but there's loads of common, motown, wheel records that I didnt know and never ever heard in that era. Maybe it was to do with the focus on nighters at that time rather than the preponderance of soul night that seem to dominate nowdays. or I could be talkin shite again, lol.

box of chocolates.

thats really nice, loads of grt music from panama, what its called? -please

similar in style to Willie Rossario- shining knight

judson moore is grt, top pick

Sometimes, clearing the floor can be down to programming in a set, following UBP wth Sam Fletcher perhaps, whi9ch I've heard out! its not a s bad as it used to be be but there's plenty of times when track dont work cause the Dj's not considered how they fit into the flow of a set.

i was talking about the same thing this weekend, its the same as cdj's, I know it sounds ridiculous, but I work totally visually with tunes, titles and names, particularly with the 12's, mean little to me, its where it is in the box, what colour the label is ect that helps me to locate things.

a fair veiw dave, i just meant its not about naming dj's its about the ethics of playing cd's opposedto ovo.

I'd never doubt your credibility ted.

I've heard about plenty know DJ's doing this in the last few years but it gets pretty heavy if we name and shame on here, and thats not what this thread is about is it? and is playing from a laptop any worse than playing grapevine or a 2nd issue of the salvidors, when your tunes are on video camera, in front of say a thousand people?

might as well play the dooley's imho

Bit late in posting this but there a fair few things I'd not played before so I thought it was worth while posting a few of my spins. Any more contributions, Jez, Sandy? gladly appreciated. early spins, Otis Redding- Boston Monkey PW Cannon- Hey, hey Peachy Green- Keep on going Jesse Anderson- True love express Jimmy Love two sides to every story Gloria Gaynor- Sorry Dynamites - Dont leave me this way Denise Laselle- The right track Timmy Thomas- What's bothering me Delrays Inc- Destination Unknown Gene Chandeler- In my body's house Black Sugar -Too late Royal Jesters- That Girl

latin has been a distinctive feature in my sets over the past couple of years. Here's some spins Ive beenig playing in my sets, Black sugar- too late Tony midleton- Spanish maiden David Coleman- Drown my heart Latin souls- you been talking bout me baby Pete Terrace- We canm make it Gloria Gaynor- Sorry Jimmie love- two sides to every story. Jonah Jones- what you are Viva Boogaloo!

Gets some bad press and is pretty unfashionable right now but acts like the heavies, young disciples ect flew the flag for street soul when there was not a lot else around. Saw many Acid Jazz acts back in the day and most were sensational, Corduroy, mother earth and the amazing Galliano, who were undoubtable the best live act I've ever seen.

some of the best bargain tunes I've ever had from here come from Andy, tip top seller imho.

I went down there about that time, Gusto- disco's revenge was the big pre track, and it was pretty awsome. hot summers nights by the lock. and Norman Jay was the guest!

technics 1200's are cheaper than the've ever been, most relieble and iconic brand, that still sets the standards.

I pride myself on my ignorance of most contempory, mainstream, music, although I take an interest in all leftfeild music types and try to get a fix of what might may interest me via radio 6.
