Hi Soulful, some good stuff above but I'd be taken aback to hear say Willie Hutch's monster "In & out" at a Northern club/nighter no matter how progressive it is. if we are now embracing this stuff maybe should join forces with the old southgate/caister possee's.(wheres me whistle, I wanna build a human pyramid)
Interesting to discuss which other genres will be played in the future what about funk or going the earlier years do wop or gospel. A problem with the late 7ts/8ts 12 singles, they go on too long and were designed for mixing not playing all the way through, imo think the styles/production quality/vibe are too extreme and it becomes a mish mash of forgotten mono/stereo "soul" sounds. Would n mind having this "other" stuff in a 2nd room tho.
