Upfront Nighters - A Dancing Dj's Thoughts
I totally agree with Terry's take on this topic, and furthermore whilst I have no gripe with any "sub-genre" as such, whilst I'm game to new on the ears, I get bored with one hour sets of Funk, Latin or Popcorn, etc, the odd item sounds great.....but I like what I like, as does each and every participant I suppose

Some Blue-Eyed Northern Soul, Anyone?
IMHO the finest example of blue eyed soul is Those Lonely nights by the Soul Communicaters on Fee Bee, with Chuck Corby as lead singer.....Stunning record, and oh so Soulful

Your Perfect Moment..on The Dancefloor
I've always thought of Dancing as personal rather than exhibitional ......(moreover because I'm below average at best ) However during my best efforts over the years, there are many tunes that have drawn me to the floor and filled my soul with a natural high, infact too many to mention.....Nowadays I tend to throw a few more shapes indoors, rather than when out, due to becoming more of a chinstroker and my liking for viewing vinyl ....I still get the hairs on the back of the neck standing up, when treading the carpet in front of my record deck however, and today during my weekly Detroit foray found myself going mental to Mikki Farrow-Set my heart at ease, amongst several other Pied Piper masterpieces and their ilk.....

Dave Hamilton (Artist Of The Week)
Can only concur with Kev's initial statement, since first purchasing the Kent (Ady's)" Detroit Dancers"(compilations), I've obtained many of the vinyl pieces obviously that are actually available, and have become "hooked" on most of Dave Hamiltons associated "output", and having recently added his Latest Detroit Soul compilation for my pleasure, sought out a couple more "shiny silver" items on Ace which are whilst yet unplayed, are the Detroit City Groove, and Detroit Funk compilations, and I'm quite certain one of the motorway systems will be sharing some soundbites of the Great mans genius in due course Respect to Ady in particular for the opportunity of gleaning eartime

Northern Soul Deejay's Of The Future ?
I've been quoted the fact that "youngsters don't wish to infiltrate their parents scene" so to speak on numerous occasions, and agree in the main, that the younger generation, whilst maybe influenced to a degree in our superb musical ethos,will put their own slant on it all in due course! My youngest son is big into his music, and whilst at 24 years of age has a "grounding into the real deal" nowadays "gives his take" on the London "Boogie/retro disco" scene.....and still loves his vinyl.....amongst CD's and downloads...... Can't stop his pocket money any more tho' .....he earns more than me

Has The Rare Scene Split?
Apart from "my front room", I am limited by shiftwork to limit my "listening" time, and "throwing a few shapes" nowadays is as rare as a totally good night out! The only split in the"rare" soul scene observed in my tenure as a 37 year participant is an individual taste from a musical perspective....I go where I want....and listen to likewise! The rest is opinion...
