Chalky Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 THE ONLY WAY FORWARD..............cannot see fast pace records being at the forefront of a "belief" .......making grounds today ie going backwords.IMVHO.Stevie.How many today want to hear 100 mile an hour "Newies"? ..........oh can't resist ....begins with KEV...no surname mentioned No disrespect to the Greatstone and other venues who do a similiar thing but your event clearly not aimed at the dance floor, which ain't a bad thing. You cannot get away with midtempo all-night or even a large majority at a nighter, they still want dancers and uptempo.

Guest barnsey Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Classic Detroit!! falcons ,what mid tempo dancers are all about maximum enjoyment minimal effort miss the days when you got stuff like this majority of the nite but people dont seem to want stuff this slow any more play more than a couple on the trot and it seems to clear the floor .still the masses vote with their feet so its just tough shit to me ha ha Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Girthdevon Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) As nice as some of these records are, that have been posted as 'mid-tempo' - none have compared to the track that was initially posted by Soulsmith as an example. Its a type of soul thats been championed for years at the likes of Soul Essence, Thorne, A New Chapter...amongst a few others. Most of whats been posted is just slower northern records. I come from a background of two step soul from the 70s & 80s so don't tell me what's too slow to dance to.

Guest Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 After being in & out of northern, modern & crossover I currently find its mid-tempo stuff that floats my boat. Sample tune attached. Are there are any clubs playing this, or any individual DJs championing the cause? Or am I stuck in this groove alone? Col HI there, Nice to see Mid tempo soul getting a mention, and getting such a reaction, with regards to clubs playing it an djs etc there are a few but not enough for my liking, as this type of music is so far up my street it's parked outside my house ( thanks for that quote Mr Brown ) Don't worry Col you are not alone in your thinking, and the Bobby Burn track you have chose to put your point across is a good example, first heard via Mr Dearlove many years ago, a man not affaird of playing soul records of all types and tempo's ( i miss djs like rod, but know why he threw in the towel) As for dancing to it i have danced with others to tracks like the Bobby Burn track at thorne, essence and the 100 club, we are all getting older and Mid tempo is the way forward. Wish i knew how to add tracks to these bloody things i would love to put a few nice Mid tempo things to get those young people going ( not alseep before someone replies ) Stick with it Col be true to your soul.

Russ Vickers Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Col, tis not a case of getting your head arond it mate, I have plenty of similar tempo records and really do enjoy them. The Bobby Wilburn track is a great record and I certainly wouldn't mind owning one, it's just that IMHO, I think that it's too slow to dance to. Thought that the 3 Mtr space was cos I didn't wash These kinda tunes I thought were commonly refered to as 'steppers'. Below mid tempo IMHO but not quite a ballad, dance floors filled at Essence to this kinda brilliant tune for years. Russ Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 (edited) Colin! get your wet southern arse up north where it's happening! Greatstone and Soul or nothing are where it's at you pimple what no where else? What about Lifeline...the best rare soul all-nighter with the best rare soul dj's IMHO, Soultown best nighter with something for everyone? Piercebridge...again great DJ's playing great records, upfront and fresh. The Orwell, streets ahead of most soul nights in the north IMHO, Lowton again something for everyone with quality guests usually three rooms! I'm sure there's more but had no sleep as I've been to a nighter where it apparently isn't happening and too tired to think Edited January 8, 2006 by chalky Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
