Paul-s

I know James..its a good earner. But i also know he prefers to play abroad and have a bit of freedom to play what he wants. As i said , when ive heard him abroad hes exciting and done brilliant sets that expose people to what is about that we dont know yet! Also at Brixton (while it lasted) he did this. Here people might aswell just hire one of several big name djs who tend to replicate each other. Its just a reflection of the mediocrity that pervades a part of the scene , that they want the 'tried and tested'..what was the 'tried & tested' before they first heard it? New and exciting maybe?

I liked certain ratio. Few of their tracks have been sampled recently.

What crap and nonsense! It doesnt belong to those a- holes who continually try to rip it off and have never been to an event in their life, never put anything into it...It doesnt belong to a director who wouldn't know soul from his a--shole! and will after this project, just f--k off and try to rip something else and not even glance back to see how the scene is. BUT im sure this guy is different Im sure this is going to be a brilliant, soulful and tremendously accurate film..

A wise man told me...never sell records you love .........unless you find one you love more wise words and thats what i always do...a few regrets but not too many...

one in sales today

a lot of big name djs pitch, ive heard em.!

Pete, i used to go to Cleethorpes and like it. A lot of good stuff played there...not much of which you heae out today. (apart from the same handful). Wally wasn't played there but would have gone at treat. I dont hate retro, i hate the same sounds being hammered and the hearing the same 200 tunes year in year out. Thats why Wally Coco is great! The funk sound was actually pioneered in USA during the late 60's early 70's... Cleethorpes totally embraced that. You liking Wally is proof that there ARE great new sounds being discovered from the 70's, as you previousl said there were none. Glad you like it

Guess thats part of his charm really

Yes, still, he needs to get his facts right and maybe look a bit. 'First Time at Lifeline' yes, (thats down to the breadth of djs you have on over a period of time) but way behind in terms of UK scene in general and the scene in Europe, Japan, US and OZ. An oldie to 'us' in fact. I always support Lifeline and its ethos, i wouldn't attend if i didn't, just seems a bit slack of SAM not knowing the origin or previous exposure of a tune. Its not, after all, rocket science , to find out...check playlists for example or google it! Helena mentioned missing one way back and its rumoured Sams playing Malmo this year. He would look foolish announcing WALLY as a new discovery there, when its more or less an oldie! So its in his interest to know the tunes history, surely?

Yep. Think Mr Banks has it.

Whats wrong? Leon, Leon

I play Loraine

I fully understand what your saying Andy. But, before i announce that a tune is being played for first time on scene, i do a lot of research, out of respect for all those who dj and stick with tunes at clubs big and small throughout uk, breaking them to new listeners. I think the Uk scene owes a little bit to the smaller clubs who break tunes (in a smaller way) that eventulally get filtered into the 'big' nighters. If i suddenly got a copy of 'King Moses' and announced i was playing it for the first time in uk, i would have people charging the decks to disagree. The credit for the funk edged sounds that are now creeping into the Northern Scene, needs to go to those djs that have been playing these tunes out and about for years and slowly allowing people to hear and appreciate it. Im not asking for much, just that the 'bigger' guys on the scene, do a bit of research and listening. Not you mate, because i know you know your stuff, but some of the 'Big name' djs might benefit from going out as punters to the smaller clubs that offer a fresh approach and have the freedom to break new tunes without getting 100s of complaints from soulies.
