I have an idea how much this plate is worth but I am open to offers, by way of the following Email your offer to n50uly@hotmail.com before midnight on 30th April 2022.

Whats The Difference Between A Good Dj And A Great Dj?
Andy Jackson replied to Andy Jackson's topic in All About the SOUL
Not that I saw but I could have missed it - sorry if it has -
One topic of conversation that comes up regularly with friends and listeners is about the current glut of DJs and events in the UK. There are mixed opinions whether they are killing the scene or keeping it alive. But out of these discussions comes the opinion that there are too many DJs who put on their own events, (four in my town alone!) and comments like 'everyone thinks they are a DJ these days'. It has never been easier to be a DJ with the availability of the music via the net, especially for us Modern jocks, and the huge amount of internet radio stations that play Soul. With a bit of practice its possible for most people to string a set together and maybe even use a microphone!! But what makes a great soul DJ? Is it their collection? Their ability to keep a dance floor full? Their microphone technique? How long they have been on the scene? All of the above? Having the right records is very important but if the DJ doesn't know what to do with them they aren't going to set any floors alight. A collector (who shall remain nameless) once told me that the worst kind of DJ is a serious collector as they tend to play what 'should' fill a dance floor and not what actually 'does'. However there is a need for this kind of DJ, some of my favourite venues have little or no dance floor and some killer tunes being played by people I respect for their knowledge and collections. A full dance floor doesn't always mean that a DJ is doing a 'great job', they might be just playing an hour of tried and tested tunes and excluding a large part of the crowd. Should the DJ be introducing the crowd to something else? As for microphone technique, that is a very touchy subject with dancers/punters. Too much talking ruins the flow of the night, not enough and you might as well not be there. Longevity on the scene is certainly a pointer to the fact that the DJ has managed to keep dance floors busy but you could argue that they should be performing on the biggest stages at the biggest events in order to be talked about as a great DJ. Two names immediately spring to mind for me Soul Sam and Colin Curtis. I consider both of these to be great DJs. Neither of them can satisfy all of the criteria above but they are the ones to aspire to and their name on a flyer will always bring punters in. I am sure the list of great DJs is very long but what interests a DJ like me is not just who they are, but why you think they are great. The more astute of you may notice that I have already excluded Messrs Barnfarther and Dimond from any replies that follow. Interstingly both of them don't use their real name for DJing is that the secret?

Cunnie - As usual the experienced guys bring up the best points. Got to say I disagree with Ben Westbeach that is a well produced catchy tune with credible dance floor qualities. Tribute is just a feel good track. The Dimitri from paris re workings are never heard and quite rightly so. As for The Way You Love Me, I prefer the original the sample was taken from, Teddy Pendergrass Come Go With Me :-)

For quite some time now as a Modern DJ I have been quietly expressing concern to a few people about the amount of re edits/re workings/remixes/mash ups being played on the Modern Soul scene. I am not referring to House music, I'll leave that for another day, but songs like the George Benson Love X Love track that seems to have become the 'banker' for many DJ's. It always fills the dance floor, never fails, and always gets requested but my question to the knowledgable soul music fans on here is this.. Are they dancing simply because they know the original? Lets face it, it has to be one of the laziest remixes ever, a bit of a bass beat and an extended intro is all that differs from the 1980 UK #10 chart hit. Now I dont know the person that took a few minutes to put this re hash together but I am sure that Quincy Jones who produced it, and knows a fair bit about making people dance, didn't say to Rod Temperton 'You know what, I messed up with this track, it needs a bit more bass'. And it doesnt stop there, See you when I get there is another well know track that has suffered the same treatment. They know the original so they will dance. But it is preventing the better brand new music from coming through. Modern Soul is about moving on, taking the scene forwards, brand new Modern music with soul in it. Look at tracks like Something For The Weekend and Tribute. Born on the Modern Scene now played a Northern room. Both original and both in their original format. There may be another side to this which again came to light during a conversation with the aforementioned people, and that is that everyone wants to be a DJ these days and these songs are easy to come by and easy to fill the dance floor to, once you have done that they think they can call themselves a DJ and put on their own events. This then dilutes our already over subscribed scene with another event. One of musics legendary producers Tom Moulton, has now remixed just about every Philly track released. But it is so hard to tell them apart from the original I ask myself why he even bothered. They were great first time round leave them alone. If your going to re do something get a different singer and a different arrangement and really change it. Some songs sound brilliant if they get the right treatment, the recent version of MIchael Jacksons 'Can't Help It' done by Kenya is a fine example of that, bang on for the Modern Scene. There are some brilliant Modern Soul tracks out there, tunes that will hold their own on a dance floor and please the ear of any soul music connoisseur. Songs that someone has taken care to write, produce and record. Lets hear them and stop promoting the lazy remixers who from their bedroom can destroy the work of those great singers/producers/arrangers that we hold in such high regard.
