A young chap came to do some work for us were i work.His mobile rang - ringtone?..only Frank Wilson.Found myself in the "do you like a bit of Northern youth" situation.
He said he did,,,but his mates thought he was a bit weird hanging with the wrinklies.He was about 35.
BITD the new releases were more akin to a Motown,Stax etc feel.So the new releases sat along side club sounds and (what became) NS discoveries.Imports.
Golddigga - Kanye West at a nighter?.Not for me,but i like the track.Retro of course.Bound to be.
The Mecca went thru a phase of playing stuff that eventually charted in the disco period.But imo none of those tracks can be really taken seriously nowadays.
Some of the new RnB/Soul artistes have got their roots and grounding BITD,but that don't mean by default their particular sound appeals to the nighter/Ns/rare scene.
