Andreas B Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) perhaps this has been covered before, but could make for an interesting discussion... we pretty much all know the "3 before 8" well enough by now, but what other tracks do you soul-sourcers like to hear or play to close out a night? what sound best rounds out your set when its time to pack up the box one more time? do you like to end on an uptempo dance number or a nice deep side to mellow it all out before the lights come up? here's my current selection for a closer: Edited October 18, 2012 by AndreasB 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Liljimmycrank Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) There's no doubting the endless list of fantastic mid tempo big sounding soul records that can be used to end a night. But i've always wondered about the 'ender' thing and it baffles me sometimes........... why end on such a slow note, especially if the night you've just been to is a pounding up tempo affair? why not leave people wanting more by ending the way you ran things all night? This probably dates back to times of old when i wasnt even born, but to me, the concept of an ender (slow to mid tempo soul traditionally) is outdated. Now, im not saying dont finish on such a record - anyone who knows me is aware i love crossover and mid tempo soul. I'm just saying play it if it feels right, not because its the done thing. If you feel like the night needs 'closing off' then a mid tempo tune changes the atmosphere, makes folk feel ready for going home but leaving hearing a tune of passion and feeling. If you feel like the night has been electric and kind of in yer face, then dont switch the vibe right at the end. Send people home wanting more and still buzzing Just my two penneth. And for what it's worth, all posts so far are amazing records.

dthedrug Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 HI ALL Before I start the best lender is in my pants! but for those who have seen my 1974 soft porn film "a girl on you hand, is better than 2 in a taxi" or "take 3 girls" only a bit part? I digress.... BIG NEWSFLASH!!!! Tonight at 10.30 I received 2 packages from 2 of the most knowledgeable record collectors in the UK, In package (a) there was / is the best new record of the year, it really is sublime, and would win you vote as the best end-er I'm sure, HOWEVER until I have spoken to the sender to ask his permission to play it, you will have to wait 48 hours, sorry but it will be worth it?
