Please remember that the "original ask" on this thread as not just about the two step sub genres that keep coming up, but "smooth, laidback and funky sound I'm looking for" I don't think it's just about BPM's, it's about "Scenes". The scenes as far as I know (but I am old and can just about manage 2 steps) are the Two Step (morphed from the jazz funk) "scene" that appeared in the late 70's and early 80's (In the UK and particularly in the Midlands, Birmingham, Manchester and Nottingham to name a few, but Colin Curtis would fill you in more and he's even older than me!!!) The London "Scene" in the mid 80's +, that has been often referred to on this thread and the "Steppers Scene" in the USA. There of course is the Two Step "Scene" on the "Northern Soul Scene", which consists of 60's to present day tunes of a slower beat

Robb I came across this thread and have being doing some digging and wondered if the Arranger H. Collins was the Howard Collins who was involved with Chanson (Majestics, Unlimited Four) who had a branch herePO Box 3032 Toledo, Ohio 43607

I know the term two step was used in the "Big Smoke" but in Manchester and the Midlands it was used in the early 1980's there's loads of us that were there dancing to 2 step tunes
