Wish I could remember what I played Mick Great spot mate awesome as ever

Been racking my brains to think of what this reminds me of - and I got there eventually Both class:

Without opening a cynical angle to the thread; the answer in many cases to "How the hell is this not massive" may simply be "Coz as most of the examples aren't rare/exclusive/expensive enough" ..........NOT a reason as far as I'm concerned but sadly true for some DJs. And of course if they don't get airtime they won't get know and loved. You don't know what you don't know This is right up there with any of them; play it right next to Walter & the Admirations or the Mello Souls etc. and it stands up perfectly well; (my opinion obviously!) I like this thread

This one for me - I know it's had its moments but can't believe it's not an automatic big room anthem including right now! https://youtu.be/g_6Z0W1x1cg

I'd say most of em Len coz you'd actually have to find someone to buy them off you

You're dead right Chalky......we've had some great support (interestingly quite a bit from the younger crowd) and we're having fun, but I wouldn't call it a groundswell lol Keep chipping away is all we can do

Lenny speed reading again eh! For what it's worth there are 2 events I know of trying to mix it up with a second room playing something different and the odd someone new - in fact some established DJs who want to try out their "different stuff" which may not be as well received by the Big Room punters (so split personalities if you like ), testimony to how hard it is behind the decks nowadays I guess. Looks like you've found a new talent for pushing peoples buttons

Dead right - don't get me wrong, it's nice to own those rarities because they're mostly hard to find and hard to afford, but I love a cheap record especially when it gets a reaction. I can think of quite a few occasions I've been approached by someone expecting to hear that something I've played is made from "unobtainium" only to leave smiling when they find out it's a fiver

What a great post that kicked off this thread..............so simple a question with the potential to conjure up a very emotive response, there have been some great ones already! I tried to hold off, just because it is without doubt a subject where opinions will vary vastly and interpretation of response can easily be misunderstood; but here I am at the keyboard anyway I guess a response as simple as the question posed would be: When you've had the opportunity to get behind the decks and your asked to do it again (there could be a drawn out timeline in there) Going back to the initial question posed "all DJ's must have been ''wanna be's'' at some time, when do they cross the line to be called a DJ?" I'm not sure I'm qualified to say, but I do have my own opinion on the subject (a bit like taste in music - it's only your own opinion that counts). What I definitely do believe can be summed up partly by what DOES NOT make a 'wanna be' into a DJ - because a good DJ for me has to entertain, challenge and inspire: Just paying large amounts of cash for top tunes and not bringing anything else to the party (you can't buy soul) A not unfamiliar topic emotive in itself, it isn't a new thing I've seen enough examples of this over the 3-4 decades I've been around (I know I'm still a newbie - sorry) Simply cherry picking all the current big sounds (goes alongside no.1) Not being able to read the dance floor. The square wooden thing is there for the punters to spend time on, it's a hard job the strike a balance between keeping it going and trying something different (we can be a tough old crowd). Rapid changes of tempo - changing tempo gradually works best for me when on the floor, just my opinion again. DJing with records you don't even like - a good DJ needs to feel it for me and you can see when a DJ is enjoying what he/she is doing and it rubs off. Not bringing your personality and taste to the decks in terms of what you play and how you put it together - for me it's your job as a DJ to try and bring something different to the game, otherwise why are you bothering?; it doesn't have to (and mostly can't) be completely new discoveries, maybe just tunes played in a different context or simply overlooked tunes that deserve a spin. Again all these are examples of my opinion and I accept there are many Northern fans out there who are happy with what they're getting for their money. Slightly off topic but; It consistently confuses and disappoints me when punters only want to hear tracks from the top 500 - surely back in the heyday of Northern Soul there was a thirst for new discoveries and every track was played for the first time somewhere!, when/how did that change or am I missing something? That said there is definitely a market for it and I don't have to go if I don't want to so fair enough. I just can't help but wonder if our DJs tried to push the boundaries would it work and even refresh things a bit? Another point brought up by some, relates to DJs of lesser experience and years. It's nothing to with with longevity alone for me (within reason of course) it's simply about being good at the job and working at it, tracking down the tunes and developing the skill (which of course takes time anyway). Those out there with buckets of experience and time on the scene can gloat "we've been around since ............" (insert any big venue name from the past) for example, but we can't give that to the more recent members of our fraternity - it's not their fault. Anyway there are plenty of DJs with decades of experience under their belts who don't cut it IMHO. I think I've turned my response into a rant about what, in my opinion, makes a good DJ - but I suppose anyone wanting to DJ would like to be considered good at it!

Definitely played back in the mid 90s - a spin for Robbo (at Tony's Blackburn amongst others) Great tune

That's wots great about Northern and music in general - it's only your own opinion that counts and that's all that matters

Just been browsing through my boxes - I've got a british issue as well lol

I love it - got an orange issue, had it for 20 years.....don't play it often; but that voice!!!!

I look at it more simply (maybe overly?) No DJs can possibly be in it for the money; just do the math on fees vs the value of 1 record (say a 500 quidder which isn't much nowadays) Even at £100 for a spot it's over 5 gigs to get payback (Inc expenses) Hope that's no too off-topic, something that's always seemed obvious but overlooked by some.

Anyone have a US original they're willing to part with please? PM with details Thanks
