Guest Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I totally agree with you too much trying to out do each other instead of listening to the public all we want is good danceable music it doesn't have to be rare. Yep totally agree with that sometimes it does seem that some people spend a lot of time getting involved in uneccessary politics or B******t and forget what its all about "THE MUSIC"....do have another pet hate, thats people who have sent me records i have purchased and cant even be bothered to put them in a paper cover let alone a card one .....tight or what! and has happened on more than a few occasions....hasten to add was'nt any fellow soul sourcers Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Simon Stevenson Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I've scrolled through all of this and there's one that nobody has mentioned. Pissed blokes staggering around the dancefloor thinking they can dance, when they probably can't even when sober. Another is, why do all the dj's play the same handful of tunes, especially at allnighters where yo end up with the the same thing being played 5 or 6 times by different dj's. Come on dj's you've got a box of a hundred or so records with you, for gods sake mix 'em up a bit. p.s. to all who took the piss when I asked about soul-bags some time ago, I've got them, wear them and enjoy dancing in them.

Guest Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 The nail has been hit on its head. There are so many tunes £50 and under that never get played out. At the end of the day "its whats in the groove that counts" whether its a £10 or £500 pound tune is irrelevant. In fact some big money tunes I dont rate that much and I like all styles of soul. Remember being at a Ritz nighter in the 90s, not sure if it was a Rarest of the Rare night, but there were definately some big guns on the roster that night dropping some big rare tunes.....Dave Evison comes on and starts his set with these immortal words......" This record costs a fiver and it's f**king brilliant " .....made me smile, but I thought good on you Dave. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

NOT IN ALL CASES try some more adventurous up front places I agree wholeheartedly with this, I consider myself a dancer, unless I get me head in a record box first , and when I'm on the floor the beat and rythm will keep me there as long as I can keep up with it when I first started this thing I didn't know nowt, but it didn't stop me dancing.

NOT IN ALL CASES try some more adventurous up front places Admittedly Mr darcy there is a certain element of keeping the dancers happy by playing tunes that you know will get the peeps dancing. But once the dancing is underway and you've got them up, isn't it better to put a few tunes on that as the chap up there putting them on, you hope that they will keep them up and dancing throughout and that may be appreciated(when the scene IMHO is primarilly a dance culture). I have paid some silly prices for tunes that i seriously wanted, but in the same token i have paid very small amounts (i.e. a few $'s) for tunes that i would certainly dance to and hope that others would dance to also. However if the tracks chosen by the chap putting the vinyl on haven't got people dancing then what is incorrect with putting a well known dancer on to get them up again and dancing and then try again with something else once the dancing is underway again. I am not suggesting for one moment that this comes down to educating, but as you are well aware and have stated on previous occasions, there are thousands of absolutely brilliant tracks available that dont get the airing they deserve because punters dont know them. I am constantly being amazed by tunes that i hear and am always learning. IMHO i believe that a healthy balance between the two factors (well known and not so) is possibly the key, not an entire evening dedicated to one or the other. For instance i have just heard Gene Burks "You got it". I personally have never heard it before, and i believe its brilliant and would certainly dance to it should it be played out. Now i'd imagine that the tune has more than likely been played inumerous times elsewhere, by infanitely more capable DJ's than myself( not that i class my self as i DJ par se), but i haven't heard it. So consequently i shall endeavour to get a copy and play it when i am doing a spot somewhere and see how it goes down. If the track doesn't work, and god only knows why it shouldn't,i wouldn't give up on it, i will continue to play it to try and get a good reaction to it. But i will sandwich it between two other tracks that i know people will dance to that are of the same sort of feel. I have probably made NO sense in my post whatsoever, but i do feel that there is nothing wrong with playing some tunes to keep people dancing but playing others in a set to hopefully get them also appreciated.

Guest outonthefloor Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I speak as a bog standard soul lover and by that i mean i'm am not a DJ or a promoter or serious collector but just a girl who loves the music and loves to dance. I travel around the country sometimes revisiting fav places and other times trying out new ones. INVHO for what it's worth I dance to the feel and beat not the rareity or the familiarity of the tune. I like to hear 30% well played classics 40% familiar tunes and 30% never heard before, well not in my memory anyway which is flaggin these days. I love to hear new tunes, thats what keeps the scene interesting. Anyway lost the thread.... My pet hates are the same as others namely drinks on the dancefloor and people standing chatting on the dance floor...no surprise there...but also people who think a record is fantastic just coz it's rare. Sometimes it's rare for a very good reason...It's c**p! Also people who take the piss if you like something commercial and overplayed. Mind you I'm guilty of that as i hate 'Do I love you', sit down on principle when it's played and berrate anyone who even taps their foot to it so maybe i sould remove the mote from mine own eye!!!!

With regards Kev Such [/quote when l go to what l call serious soul nights usually oop north this is where I expect to hear a greater variety of soul music and pretty much always do, not just rare stuff but underplated and unknown. the reason for this is because the guy's playing these tunes are long time record COLLECTORS they buy records to COLLECT dj'ing is secondary to them, whether they pay 5k or £5 for a tune . this is a general misconception on this site that these fellas only buy rare expensive tunes to dj with. l know quite a few of em and to a man whatever they pay is because they want the tune in their collection.Some fine examples are KITCH , DEAN ANDERSON ,BUTCH ,CLIFF CAMFIELD, DICKY WATT, PAUL SADOT,AND CLIFF STEELE and quite a few more.

Was at an allnighter many moons ago. Went like this; My mate: "Have you got that record Ain't a bit sorry, by Ben E King"? Dealer (deadpan): "Ain't by Ben E King". My mate: "Whose it by then"? Dealer (still deadpan): "Dedications". My mate: "Who"? Dealer: "Dedications". My mate: "You got it"? Dealer (practically scowling) "No". A little while later that night my mate managed to pick up a copy of said track. On passing by happy chappy dealer # 1, mate mentioned in a cheerful voice that he'd got that Dedications track.

Dave Moore Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Only really got one pet hate as far as soul is concerned... Looking at old sales lists from Soulbowl and JMs etc from back in the day and kicking myself for not buying every single 45 on there when I should have. So many records......so little time....(or money depending on what time of the month it is! ) Regards, Dave www.theresthatbeat.com www.hitsvillesoulclub.com Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Little-stevie Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 (edited) Remember youth, action speaks louder than words. (VERBAL OR WRITTEN). Dont winge about things, confront them head on and take the consequences, or you end up just like the characters you describe. Its amazing how nice people can turn when you are looking them in the eye with something on your mind. Ed Youth ..Thanks for that..I have sent you a pm to talk about the points you have brought forward...Like i said,my message was a reply to pet hates and got put out on its own,can it be merged at all,no point having the two topics going...

sister dawn Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Steve, thank god its tuesday, the rain has stopped, I can see the garden and the garage floor now the floods have subsided here. We got health, good mates and family that love us, and music that means so much. All we need now is for the sun to shine and we will have a summer. I hope those Monday blues have gone like the bloody rain down the drain. Love and peace to you. Dawny. x Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
