THIS IS A GOOD THREAD,BALANCE TO LIFE IS IMPORTANT,PUTTING THE MUSIC INTO CONTEXT ALSO.AS IVE GOT OLDER NOW 44 NOT REALLY HAD ANY BREAKS INCLUDING 5 TRIPS TO USA ANOTHER ONE THIS YEAR CANT IMAGINE LIFE WITHOUT THE POINTS MENTIONED THE MAJOR DIFFERENCE NOW FOR ME IS MY OBSESSION WITH DEEP SOUL AND SWEET SOUL.
MY VIEW IS THAT SURE I LOVE THE NORTHERN SIDE BUT DEEP SOUL AND SWEET SOUL AND NUMEROUS SUPPLY WHICH IS UNTOUCHED GIVES ME MORE ENJOYMENT.IN MANY RESPECTS IM TIRED OF NORTHERN AND ALOT OF THE EGOS INVOLVED ON THE SCENE BUT I LOVE DEEP AND SWEET.
THE NORTHERN SCENE HAS ALWAYS HAD A STUPID INCESSANT INFATUATION WITH RARITY WHICH TO ME IS COMPLETE AND UTTER BOLLOCKS,SOMETIMES THIS HAS GONE ABOVE QUALITY TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE SCENE IMHO.
MY LIFE NOW WITH A BUSY EXPANDING BUSINESS REVOLVES AROUND WORK,FAMILY AND SOUL MUSIC NOT NORTHERN SOUL MUSIC.IF A DEALER IN OCTOBER OFFERS ME THE NEXT BIG THING FOR 2000US HE WILL BE TOLD TO F--K OFF ,I WILL USE THAT MONEY TO BOLSTER MY XOVER,DEEP AND SWEET COLLECTION.
WHEN I DO DJ I THINK I ENJOY IT MORE BECAUSE IT SIGNIFIES IM AROUND LIKEMINDED PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEEN THINGS THROUGH BUT CONVERSION TURNS WHEN IM SHOWN A RARE TUNE WHICH IS SHIT AND SOMEONE IS TELLING ME ITS GREAT,THINK IVE SUSSED MY TASTE BY NOW.
IVE GOT GOOD FRIENDS ON THE SCENE , ALL THE LADS IVE WENT TO DOS WITH SINCE BACK IN THE DAY ITS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE THEM AND ALWAYS WILL BE,THAT IS THE SPECIAL THING AT THE END OF THE DAY.
