Back To Back To Basics

by on 24. Nov, 2011 in CD’s / Digital, DJ / Club Culture, DJ Appearances, Hear, Mixes, Read, Records, The Nineties

Congratulations to Northern dance institution Back To Basics, which is 20 years old this week! To commemorate this pretty momentous occasion for what is the longest running club night in the world, Ralph Lawson, resident there since day one, has launched a blog, Basic Vision, in which he’ll be sharing his memories, most notably via a series of lovingly constructed mixes that document the music he’s played there down the years, which will come complete with Ralph’s accompanying track-by-track text.

Time Capsule

by on 10. Nov, 2011 in Black Culture, CD’s / Digital, DJ / Club Culture, Magazines, Records, The Seventies

In December 2005 I wanted to do something to mark the 30th anniversary of when I made my club debut, on December 6th 1975 at the Chelsea Reach in New Brighton, and I came up with the idea of compiling a selection of 25 singles that I was carrying in my record crates at the time (we used to use old wooden drinks crates, which were the perfect size for 7” singles – the 12” not making its appearance until the following year).

Living To Music – James Brown ‘Live At The Apollo’

by on 30. Aug, 2011 in Black Culture, CD’s / Digital, Hear, Living To Music, Records, The Sixties

The oldest Living To Music inclusion to date, recorded on October 24th 1962, before Martin Luther King made his ‘I Have A Dream’ speech, before JFK was assassinated, before Dylan released ‘Blowin’ In The Wind’, and just as The Beatles had started out on their recording career (their first single, ‘Love Me Do’, released just a few weeks earlier). In a modern context, this is ancient history, yet its influence is still felt today, even if people don’t realise the full gravity of Brown’s legacy.

The League Unlimited Orchestra’s ‘Love And Dancing’ was a seminal dance albums, yet it’s something that many people will be completely unaware of. However, if I mentioned the classic Human League LP ‘Dare’, which included major hits like ‘Don’t You Want Me’, ‘Love Action’, ‘Open Your Heart’ and ‘The Sound Of The Crowd’, most people would know exactly what I was talking about.

SoundCloud Downloads

by on 28. Jun, 2011 in CD’s / Digital, Hear, Records, Remixes / Edits

I’ve just upgraded my SoundCloud account, which means that, alongside the DJ mixes that I regularly upload, I’ll also begin to add edits and remixes on a weekly basis, some which have been issued on vinyl during recent years, others previously unavailable.
