Hey Mister Dj When Did It Happen?

[ImberBoy]

I am always left scratching my swede as to where and how a fantastic track walks straight past the charts and embeds its self into the Northernsoul dance floor.

With the passage of time and the internet we now have definite points in our time line, we can trace the origins of many a great, and not so great track but most have stood the test of time or at least allowed them selves to be dusted off and introduced back onto the scene.

I'm not ever bothered about record collectors, what they have hidden away in their boxes are neither here nor there, what gets onto the floor and how, makes me interested.

Take a track like Terry Callier - I Don't Want To See Myself (Without You), I think this was first outed at Stafford?

How did the DJ who broke this get past the massively long intro?

I think its mega that some one some where had the Kohonies to break with the norm and crack open some thing different.

The success stories are not well know and should be, who broke Curtis - How Can I Tell Her and Luther Vandross - Never too much? J Blackfoot where is love?

I'm not talking about the predictability of some one playing Duffy, we have had recent tracks played and accepted such as Drizabone that came straight onto the main floor rather than bleeding in from the Modern Room, unless I of course have this wrong?

Is there any thing else out there that will miss the charts and smash in?

Drizabone had early 90's chart success with the couple(pressure, real love) that were played in the northern rooms a few years later, and i'm pretty sure they came via the modern room,
