Lets me put the other view in how many top Dj's of todays scene speed up,slow down the Biggies? And how many play them at natural speed ?

Yes i agree with your statement but don't forget about the old vinyl record shops they recycle a lot of records for us These places are dying of great places to go to they got lights to see when some of us got bad eye sight!!!!

People i trust at venues and i've bought of in the past are Chris Anderton-Midas touch records Keith Williams-Soulsearcher records Des Parker-Soul inc Dave Welding Johnny Beggs Mace Tony Foster Craig Atkins Tony O Keith Minshull I have got a few bargains of these guy's in 10yrs or so Good Hunting atb soulghost

intead of listing oldiies djs why don't you mention any up front djs ?

Just found this thread which is a bit boring In my opinion no DJ worth his salt should never post his/hers playlist as all that ego trips and price hiking of reords. I myself have never done or posted a playlist & never will end of story!!!!!!!!!!!

hi the atb policy does means a total mix of genres from late 5ts to present day without history or price tag tunes.tempo's can vary a good dj do this but don.'t drop the tempo's to sharp also blend the tunes together not as i call it bangin .tunes together you have a good idea of wot atb . from the diff genre there a lot of forgotten tunes still out there & to be reactavated & in dj collections.

hi matt that's we all want but in the main rooms not in little pokey rooms with no atmosphere & no punters in kev

hi matt i'm not miserable so there's gonna be no name change sorry when i'm with the right crowd i.m a happy man i go to quality soul nights & nighters the best 1 was a couple of months ago woz Grumpy's soul night @ runcorn cheshire music & atmosphere woz brilliant till the last toooooon it was packed to the rafters nearly 300 in & no Hand baggers in Happy days kev

hi nick been back on soul scene for past 10yrs after 22yrs break. started collecting vinyl records in1973 first record bought Harold Melvin Satisfaction Guaranteed uk pir first US Crown Heights Affair was Dancin/Love me a brilliant 7ts dancer on flip 1976 i visit soul clubs in staffordshire & cheshire but i travelled all over north west england ,midlands I did 1st hour spots & drove for Keith Minshull for 4yrs i

As i'm aware the soul scene as become very splintered there is not 1 venue where we can't get it together and have good time tonight to listen,dance & socialise. To Funky northern,RnB northern uptempo Xover,rare northern and not forgetting good upbeat modern krap including soulful house Not the tailor mades like Tribute.tribute to betty &smile As i'm in my early 5ts i went to the late wigan 79/80 and funk was played along side northern anthems of the time. I also djd at the Keele allnighter modern room the last 3yrs before it finished There are a lot of soulies out who want to go out but won't because there is to many oldies & same old same olds being played I wish that promoters to be little bid more adventurous and give a more progessive dj a chance at there venues It's soul music i love you love it let's get the scene Buzziing again with new tunes.? Were in the 2nd decade of the 21st century come let's have good time don't let it Die. Keepin the Faith moanin kev
