A salute to Winding Road Records

2011-06-07T14:59:00.004+01:00

This consistantly great label established itself in 2002 with a barrage of great releases from the likes of label founders Schmoov! (which I had the pleasure of catching there amazing support act before Groove Armada some 10 years back) plus Lovebirds, Rhythm Plate, Hot Toddy, Ron Basejam, Vincenzo and Spirit Catcher to name a few. In my opinion, there 2002 effort "While You Wait" is still probably one of my favourite dance albums to date. Although labeling it just "dance" is probably an understatement. Here is a Schmoov! set posted on SC with some old favourites all thrown in by John Buckby and a limited download of one of my favourite tracks from one of their EP's from Vincenzo. Word around is there maybe some new material surfacing soon which is something well looking out for...

Aurra - You & Me Tonight (Touchsoul Edit)

Rufus & Chaka - Live In Me (Touchsoul Edit)

2010-01-29T01:21:00.002Z

In my opinion, one of the best tracks these done while together, a top track from the Masterjam album. For me it's all about the background harmonies at the end of the track and great mid tempo groover. Here I've slightly extended it at the intro and end as for me, 3 and half mins is too short with this one. To download click divshare logo...

Loose Ends - Nights Of Pleasure (Touchsoul Edit)

2010-01-29T01:06:00.003Z

This is a personal favourite of mine which I've given a little reworking to, ommiting most of the vocal and smoothing out the already sublime groove. From the great 1986 album 'Zagora'.

Hot Toddy - Summer Daze

2010-01-16T02:13:00.004Z

Been a while since I've posted anything other than my own edits/reworks so thought I'd hit y'all up with something from almost 4 years ago which I've been re-listening over again on vinyl. This is my personal favourite from this EP from the great Hot Toddy on Winding Road.

2010-01-07T22:04:00.002Z

A personal favourite of mine from, in my opinion, one of the best 70's era disco albums, "Time Is Slipping Away" by Dexter Wanzel which is 'I'll Never Forget (My Favourite Disco). Edited/stretched out the into/outro and removed some vocal. This was done for personal use with intention of playing at one of our events that got cancelled...

Another personal edit I've decided to share. Just a dubbier rework of Futura's boogie funk number, 'Feelin' Hot'. Ive edited the vocal version from the vinyl rip..so has a few crackles & pops, omitting some vox and lengthened out the amazing bass funk groove with the usual tweaks...

Melodies Of Dub - TouchSoul Edit

2009-12-16T13:36:00.004Z

Fully dubbed out rework of Melodies Of Love by Pink Rhythm. Released in 1985 on the great Beggars Banquet label. Same usual edit format applied here and thickened up the groove. Probs could have done a bit more to it as this one again was done a little while ago, but it works nice as an early, chuggy, deep disco number...

DJ Rasoul - Something

2009-12-02T11:44:00.002Z

An elegant deep number from Rasoul(a.k.a Guy Nado) which featured on the Down 4 It EP on Transport which I still like to pull out the case for this track in particular. Lovely rolling bass groove and deep beats from 2001 which is still as fresh as breast milk...

DjRasoul--Something

2009-11-27T00:15:00.003Z

For those that know, and a much loved track that takes me back...Some deep heady house beats from Pal Joey from around 93 which featured on the great Danny Krivit's Expansions release on NRK. Beautiful sublime beats which I have the privildidge of sharing....for now!

Lars Bartkuhn - Windy City

2009-10-22T23:49:00.004+01:00

From a hard to grab album from Lars Bartkuhn released in 2005. Always loved his sound, fusing soul, jazz fusion, house and great melody. Still have some of his work on the Needs label and its worth checking his brilliant "Worlds" under his Passion Dance Orchestra outlet. This is some dreamy, worked up jazz funk house beats...

Metro Area - Live Studio Promo

2009-10-21T01:08:00.002+01:00

P P U - Unreleased Boogie Funk 012

2009-10-20T14:05:00.002+01:00

Some demotastic, raw funk boogie instrumental here from Peoples Potential Unlimited. The guys at this great label obtained these unreleased demo tracks from the early 80's from the Midnight Express Band and Robbie M, who had a classic boogie banger with "Danger Zone". Although they've done there upmost at restoring them, as they are from old cassettes so tape hiss is expected, but it don't diminish the funk quality...Check out a sample below and the rest of Tri-Fire Vol.1 at the links below...

Sade - Deep House Remixes

2009-10-15T18:15:00.003+01:00

Two impeccable deep house versions of a couple of my favourite Sade tracks. Don't know a lot on these remixes other than they are done by an Italian producer known as DJ SaF. Easily got to be the best I've heard so far, as Sade tunes have been done over quite a lot. They're both fairly new as I'm informed and it would be advisable to get a taste of these...

Felix Dickinson Interview at Cosmic Disco

2009-10-15T13:19:00.004+01:00

Sharing some interesting thoughts on music blogs and the industry.......
-----------------------------------------

...Great places for sharing information, meeting like-minded people who you wouldn’t get a chance to interact with otherwise, and for finding out about stuff thats going on the other side of the country or even the other side of the world. Blogs are best when they inspire you to go and hear a D.J. at a party. If the blog is the party, that’s quite sad.

The music industry has always claimed to be under threat from people sharing their music; remember the ‘home taping is killing music’ logo that record sleeves used to have on them?. I used to tape loads of records before I could afford them, and if anything home taping fertilized my love for music. I think these days real music lovers might hear something for the first time by downloading an MP3 but the sound quality of vinyl (and C.D. to a lesser degree) is so much better than MP3, that people do still go out and and buy other formats.

I think the real thing that is effecting the music industry is that people aren’t making as good music as they used to; or to put it another way, there is so much good music already made, that buying older classics second hand can often be easier and better than trawling through loads of average new stuff. Proof of this can be seen in the current glut of edits/bootlegs, the majority of which I’m sure outsell new music.

I’d like to see the record industry re-invigorated by a new music format that sounded better than records (or at least as good). When C.D.’s where introduced I think there was a bit of a boom as lots of people re-bought there collections in the new format. It’s been proved that C.D.’s aren’t as good as they were hyped to be in both sound quality and durability, and the ease with which they can be copied has obviously had it’s own effect on sales. For ages there’s been talk of new format’s that sound better than C.D.’s but the industry can’t seem to decide which one to back. If they created something better than C.D. that could actually compete with records, people might re-buy their collections in the new format (or at least buy it new, rather than track down second hand records). This new revenue could then be filtered down to new acts who might never sell as many records as the classics, but there will always be an interest in new acts because people still like going to see live shows.

Not sure whether this would work though as so many people now listen to music on i-pods and other MP3 players, that they can’t really appreciate the sound of a better format. Again this is a very cynical solution, I don’t really want or think records will ever be bettered. The glut of edits and bootlegs should be telling the big record companies something though. Maybe they could just start utilizing their back catalogues more, doing official re-issues that could compete with the bootleggers, and maybe getting some remixes done. I think the revenues from re-issues isn’t going to be huge, but let’s face it a lot of record shops and distributers would probably go bust if they didn’t sell edits and bootlegs, so maybe some of the bigger companies need to look at that and get involved. I would rather buy a good quality re-issue where the artist might make a bit, so if the major record companies had a grasp on what music is actually sought after, they could make a bit of money from the music catalogues they already own.

Chic - Burn Hard

2009-10-14T16:52:00.003+01:00

Great funk disco workout from Chic, taken from their 1981 album "Take It Off". Pretty sure this has found it's way into some sets from Hot Toddy/Crazy P and certainly does the dancefloor business...

Chic - Burn Hard

Super Value - Special Edits 4

2009-10-14T14:42:00.002+01:00

From number four in a great series of top class edits, although I think they may have released 6 or 7 by now. This is an Eddie Kendricks edit, which is slightly more uptempo than the releases previous to this...So get lost in some "Smoke"

Soul Mekanik - Go Upstairs (Maurice Fulton Mix)

2009-10-14T02:00:00.002+01:00

Released back in 2005, this has crept into a couple of last sets I done. This sterling mix is from main man Maurice Fulton, Sexy beats and rhythms for your ears...

Eddie Craig - Funkin' Up

2009-10-13T14:55:00.005+01:00

Some killer electronic boogie funk beats here from Eddie Craig. Don't know a lot on this one other than it was released in 2004 with another track called "Funktime" which I've included here too. Killer grooves and 80's smoked beats worth checking out...

Eddie Craig - Funkin' Up

eddie craig - Funktime

Michael Wycoff - Tell Me (Do You Really Love Me?)

2009-10-12T17:13:00.002+01:00

A great soul/disco track from 1983 that kind of slipped under the radar for me untill recently. Most people in the know of music of this sort, will be well aware of his track "Looking Up to You" which has been much sampled. This is another winner...

Michael Wycoff - Tell Me (Do You Really Love Me?)

Paul Hardcastle - Fly By Night

2009-10-12T16:57:00.004+01:00

A nice piece of instrumental, boogie groove from Paul Hardcastle that has been playing on the CD for me this afternoon. So why not share? This was the b-side of 19 released in 1985 but was hipped to me by Ilija Rudman...

George Duke - The Good Times (TouchSoul Re-Edit)

2009-10-09T16:47:00.002+01:00

Here's a track I've tinkered with for your listening/DJing pleasure. George Duke's electrofunky 'The Good Times' has had the intro extended and I've taken out 2 parts of the vocal breakdown which went a bit off in my opinion, plus fattened the volume up. Around the 2.30 mark the reverb is slightly off but does'nt spoil the whole groove...Any feedback welcomed.

Lisa Shaw - Ultimate High (TouchSoul Pitched Down Edit)

2009-10-05T17:29:00.003+01:00

Taken from Miguel Migs' 2002 Nude Tempo mix, this track, as far as I'm aware, has not been issued a release, apart from on the aforementioned CD. Here I've pitched it down slightly and crudely extended the intro. This is a quality, deep, soul groove from producer Dave Warrin which I think deserved an official release...

Lisa Shaw - Ultimate High (TouchSoul Pitched Down Edit)

Popular Peoples Front - My Baby Stays Out All Night (TouchSoul Re-tweak)

2009-10-05T14:30:00.004+01:00

Taken from the Popular Peoples Front's wax only released, Love EP. This is a vinyl rip and here I haven't done much than extend the intro slightly and fatten the sound quality up. Some genuine basement boogie here for all the heads out there to enjoy...

Patrice Rushen - Stepping Stones

2009-10-04T18:40:00.003+01:00

2009-10-02T17:43:00.003+01:00

Have'nt done much other than extend the intro for about 30 seconds (making it slightly more DJ friendly)added some slight tweaks to the vocals and beefed the beat up. Suggestions or feedback is certainly welcome. Download or listen below...

Very Very & onE20 at The Cosmic Ballroom

2009-09-29T13:03:00.003+01:00

A heads up for TouchSoul friends One20 and Very Very over in Newcastle this weekend, who are putting their heads together for a Friday bash at The Cosmic Ballroom...

Tokyo co-habitants Very Very & one20 will combine their inimitable styles to create an exquisite blend of deep disco and warm house. A combination of beats guaranteed to keep you cozy, as Autumn draws in.

The Cosmic Ballroom's first floor boudoir, will play host to this one off event, a suitably clandestine backdrop for some decidedly sexual rhythms. Both the atmosphere and dance-floor will be rich with goodness...

Very Very & one20
Friday 2nd October
Cosmic Ballroom
Stowell Street
Newcastle-Upon-Tyne
10.30pm – 4am
