Why do DJ's always try to go one better in threads like this!! 'Put Our Heads Together' is a top moddensolestomper, always a floor filler.

Watched that last week, three times. Comedy genius.

The only shame is that DJs don't have the sense to play music from CD.

The B-side 'No Stronger Love' is absolutely brilliant.

Only if Soul Sam plays them. And only if they're released on vinyl, which accounts for about 0.0002% of new releases nowadays.

As are plenty of so-called 'modern' fans. I've given up caring about it now Sean, leave 'em to their ignorance mate, in my experience it's been a long time since the modern soul scene was music-led. Buy your own tunes and enjoy 'em, it's the only way.

Surprising as it may seem, there's actually a modern soul scene that does play new releases. Radio shows as well, believe it or not. Who'd have thought it eh?

She's more than a soul singer than Dusty Springfield ever was.

Don't know if it was on a 45, but it's not the only killer track on the album, there's another three or four brilliant tracks on it.

The third best soul DJ from there I can think of!!

No it's not, "Him" is Kenny Thomas' best and that would be because it's the best British soul track ever made.

Still playing seven inch singles on a soul scene in 2009 is the equivalent of the Premier League still using laced up leather casers.

Has anyone who didn't DJ in some form or other, or has a collection of vinyl and believes they should be a DJ, ever started a thread of this nature?

Woods Empire 'Universal Love' The Duncans 'Let Me Be'

Has that Livesey boy logged into your account again?

Russ, as the old saying goes mate, a dog knows its own tricks best!

Absolutely, Russ, and especially if it can mask a rubbish mix!

To be honest, the mixing scenario has never bothered me when listening to a DJ playing house in a modern room, granted a crap effort at mixing can be amusing, but for me as a person of 'modern' persuasion, what has always been lacking with the vast majority of modern DJs who play house is their inability to actually pick a decent song and choosing their sets based solely round the beat and whichever mix of a track fits in with what they're already playing. Personally I've always been, and still am, a lover of quality soulful dance/house music but only if the track is based around a decent melody and song structure and would far rather listen to a DJ who's crap at mixing but at least has the ear to pick great song after great song in a set, rather than somebody who can make them all join up without you being able to hear where but all that's coming out of the speakers for an hour is a boring dull thud thud thud that only a handful of pill popping wizzing off their tits dancers are sweating their arses off to. 20 minutes of house music in any one set in a modern room is more than enough for me anyway, what say you, Mister smoothmixin'onelinepostin'soulbowllovin' Simon M(ixmeister)?

Did I? This music lark's all just a blur to me nowadays Jocko, I don't listen to anything properly. I wish I'd never started DJ'ing on't'internet and Sky telly wireless sometimes mate.

I'll try in future, writing lines on the virtual blackboard as we speak mate!

I stand corrected, apologies. I must have just ignored the 2008 one because the first two were so poor.

No, there's been two plus a couple of special editions of his second one with extra tracks hasn't there? I've wasted my money on both of them Sean, he's got a decent voice but his material is very weak imvho mate. Roger
