July 5, 1986: Joeski Love, Grandmaster Richie Rich, Harleqiun Four’s, Princess, Michael Jonzun

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

THEO LOYLA and John Saunderson seem to have arrived at a workable way of holding a national Disco-Aid night: they suggest that on Saturday, November 1, all clubs add a small extra admission charge while DJs play requests for cash and hold raffle-type money raisers, with recording artistes donating a brief free PA at the club of their choice . . . Radio London’s Soul Night Out this Thursday, broadcast live at midnight this time to coincide with the Fourth of July here if not in the USA, once again has Tony Blackburn and Dave Pearce live in New York on WBLS while Steve Walsh presents the guest stars at Hammersmith Palais, followed at 2am Friday by Alexander O’Neal & Cherrelle direct from Harlem’s Apollo! . . . Chrissie Jackson spins hot soul newies 7-9pm, Mike Stewart oldies 9-10pm, every Friday now on Norfolk’s Radio Broadland 97.6FM . . . Daryl Stafford’s Eurobeat Top 25 at Bournemouth’s Cabaret Club is broadcast fortnightly on 2CR’s Monday evening Tim Butcher/John Dash show . . . Cooltempo snapped up the sizzling Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk & Jessie Saunders for release in a fortnight . . . Luther Vandross ‘Give Me The Reason‘ (Epic A7288), received so far only on seven inch, is a not particularly danceable ambiguously jiggling 138½/69¼bpm weaver from the film ‘Ruthless People’ . . . WEA have reactivated Shirley Murdock ‘Truth Or Dare‘ and Zapp ‘It Doesn’t Really Matter‘ to coincide with their UK visit . . . CADJ (Central Assn for DJs) meet the first Sunday every month at East Birmingham Hospital Social Club, details from John Baksh on 021-384 6959 . . . Thursday (3) Graeme Park mixes live while models walk at a fashion show in Nottingham’s The Garage . . . Chris Hill is Kev Hill’s next guest at Basildon Sweeneys Monday Guvnor’s Clinic (7), followed by Sean French & Chris Brown, Robbie Vincent, Gilles Peterson & Nicky Holloway, etcetera . . . Mike Shaft, Colin Curtis & Patrick play nothing but garage jack trax at Manchester’s revamped Legend Wednesdays . . . Paul Oakenfold & DJ Wicked Pulse funk The Go-Go Thursdays in Richmond’s The World at Zeeta’s . . . Steve Glover’s gone goggle-eyed now that Bournemouth’s Zig Zag has installed a huge screen video! . . . Cosmic sez “ta” to all who supported him at Basildon’s now defunkt New Yorker . . . Andy Vaughan (Old Kent Road Dun Cow) tips that WQBC synchs superbly out of ‘Borrowed Love’, while my own hot mix at a mobile gig was the guitar intro of Chuck Berry ‘No Particular Place To Go‘ chopped in place of the same guitar figure during James Brown ‘Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag‘! . . . Harmonic Keys Dance Music Service, the Florida based BPM and key directory (BPMs not that accurate, actually), suggests amongst other musically perfect “on key” mixes Sheila E ‘A Love Bizarre’ and Janet Jackson ‘What Have You Done For Me Lately’, both in E flat minor . . . Sheila E, forget it — I’ve just seen Sheila Gish, nonchalantly driving a left hand drive American saloon through Hampstead! Howie Tee’s cousin Chris Rumney from Highgate corrects that its Mixmaster Ice who cuts it up with UTFO . . . SORRY, WRONG BEAT!

PEE-WEE HERMAN is the wimpish American comedian fast building a cult following, especially for his debut feature film ‘Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure’, to such an extent among B Boys that he, his dance, and ‘Tequila’ theme tune are the — here still unseen so perhaps mystifying — subject matter of the now UK-released JOESKI LOVE: ‘Pee-Wee’s Dance’ (Cooltempo COOLX 125). A starkly insistent catchy (0-)90½bpm minimalist rap, it’s been hanging on for months as an import even without any national exposure for Herman himself, so what’ll happen once we’ve seen him?

---

UK FRESH ’86 host, hip hopping MIKE ALLEN raps on the mic while GRANDMASTER RICHIE RICH looks happy — probably because his ‘Check It Out’ is the debut release on Hammersmith disco store owner Greg James’s own label, Spin-Off’s Record Company Limited (120FF 1). A jerkily leaping (0-)121¾bpm scratcher with cod “upper class” intro and actually rather foreign sounding rap, its ‘Scratch It Out’ dub may be preferable.

HOT VINYL

HARLEQIUN FOUR’S: ‘Set It Off’ (Champion CHAMP 1216)

One of the first new wave of “garage” records to make its presence felt here (before the description was being applied), this year old incredibly influential minimalist remake of Strafe’s tune has been the backing track to a million DJ mixes, adapted by other artistes, and covered several times in its own right — all without ever getting a UK release, until now. Driven remorselessly by a schlurping “pshta pshta” hi-hat beat which eventually embraces subduedly chanting chicks and further colourations, it’s never a song as such but just a floor jamming 110¾-110½-111bpm groove (I hadn’t realised its electronics fluctuate fractionally). Because so many must already have the import, here the original is flipped by a brand new 110-109¾bpm remix by Herbie Mastermind, making more of an actual song out of previously unheard elements from the master tape, plus a useful if short 110¾bpm Bonus Beats instrumental (hinting also at Maze’s ‘Twilight’). For mixers, and the aware, essential!

PRINCESS: ‘Tell Me Tomorrow (Weekend Mix)’ (Supreme Records SUPET 106)
Although I’ve yet to receive a finished 12 inch (including an “original demo” of ‘Say I’m Your Number One’), the promo-only 10 inch is a great happily jiggling totally different 105bpm remix reminiscent of ‘Somebody Else’s Guy’ (I wonder who suggested that?!) flipped by the now quite pedestrian sounding 108½bpm Album Version. Her biggest to date?

MICHAEL JONZUN: ‘Burnin’ Up’ (US A&M SP-12186)
Although his recent album was a disappointment, this brightly bounding 114bpm smoothly souled bubbler has been remixed into a surefire smash full of catchy little emulator hooks, with a hot piano dub and instrumental too. So infectious it should be huge!

PIECES OF A DREAM: ‘Say La La’ (Manhattan 12MT 12)
Destined to be overshadowed now by their excellent import LP ‘Joyride’ (US Manhattan ST 53023) — check the Disco chart for BPMs from this, and for the sizzling slowies from SHIRLEY JONES ‘Always In The Mood’ (US Philadelphia International ST 53031), the week’s hottest albums for full review next issue — the young jazz-funkers’ gently exotic subtle 98¾bpm summery weaver (in three mixes) has so far only really hit the hipper clubs and deserves wider attention.

WILLIAM BELL: ‘Passion (Remix)’ (Tout Ensemble 12LUTE 3, via Pinnacle)
Remixed by Froggy and Simon Harris to become more like an instrumental with incidental subdued breathy vocal and cooing chicks, this now MFSB ‘Mysteries Of The World’-ish 0-119½-119¼-119-0bpm pulsator gently throbs along packing an understated rhythm punch, very different from the flip’s busier 122½bpm original LP version (chunky 104bpm ‘Whatever You Want‘ too).

SIMPHONIA: ‘You And Me’ (US Cotillion 0-96811)
Paul Simpson combines his Serious Intention approach, Spanish chatter, skittering garage rhythm and Carmen Brown’s keening diva vocal into a loosely strung 119½bpm canterer (in five mixes) that’s possibly more for America than here — though try the Short/Dance Vocal Mix with ‘You Don’t Know’ of Colonel Abrams.

LOOSE ENDS: ‘Gonna Make You Mine (Westside Mix)’ (Virgin VS 819-14)
Remixed by Dancin’ Danny Poku and Godwin Logie in a Maze ‘Twilight’ influenced 105¾bpm new form with still vocal 106bpm Bonus Beats, this jerkily jaunty wriggler is now being promoted over the 0-102¼bpm Album Mix of its ostensible topside, ‘Stay A Little While, Child‘.

LEW KIRTON: ‘Don’t Wanna Wait’ (MCA Records MCAT 1071)
Trickily textured beats wriggle into an excellent 110¾bpm falsetto offset sophisticated cool modern soul dancer, here rightly flipped by the official US A-side’s more mundane 118¾bpm ‘Stuck In The Middle (Between Two)‘.

CASHFLOW: ‘Spending Money’ (LP ‘Cashflow’ Club JABH 17)
‘Mine All Mine’ so swamped this set when new that I ignored the other tracks, this subduedly wriggling 95bpm singalong jogger having gained fans in the meantime (although it’s scarcely a similar smash), and the equally tense building more Cameo-ish 112¼bpm ‘I Need Your Love‘ has had action too.

PRINCE AND THE REVOLUTION: ‘Mountains’ (Paisley Park W8711T)
Bigger at a pop level now his (0-)104¾-105bpm rolling raunch nevertheless hits a groove that really gets to cook with scratchy sax and much pent-up excitement for the instrumental last half.

DAVID RUDDER & CHARLIE’S ROOTS: ‘Bahia Girl’ (Gval) (Remix)’ (London LONX 98)
Trinidad’s current calypso king, unprecedented winner of three crowns at carnival, deliberately points out the similarities of his gently catchy subtle 107-109-110¼-111½bpm summer shuffler to its Brazilian influences, rather than to the sweaty ‘Hot Hot Hot’ soca style.

NICOLE: ‘What About Me’ (Portrait TA 7266)
Pleasant enough, this yearning sombrely rolling 74½bpm slowie is actually upstaged by the flip’s attractively lurching 106½bpm ‘Why You Take My Love‘ and, of course, the excellent old 79¼bpm remix of her ‘New York Eyes’ duet with Timmy Thomas.

CHERYL HUNTER: ‘It’s Your Attitude’ (US Mercury 884-8711)
“Attitude” has more meanings than posture and opinion, denoting in slang everything from someone’s street smarts to their whole persona, although in a traditional definition here it’s her fellah’s egotistical approach to life that’s driving huskily lamenting Cheryl away from him (in three ponderously nagging 105¼bpm mixes).

THE FLIRTATIONS: ‘Get Up (Come On Over)’ (Fantasia Records FTA X 109)
These ex-Gypsies use Cheryl Lynn’s ‘Encore’ rhythm, except on the amusingly recognisable 113½bpm swayer, which is such a pastiche it develops along other faster and lighter lines (inst flip).

PAULI CARMAN ‘Dial My Number’ (CBS 26960)
Competent lightweight black pop, The System producing of course the 117½bpm title track, the breezily chugging 121½bpm ‘Flashback‘, bubbly (0-)120½bpm ‘Lose Control‘ and muttering sparse 121bpm ‘Big On Pleasure‘, Pauli himself helping others with the Champaign-ish 0-77bpm ‘You Impress Me’, swaying 62½bpm ‘High & Low’, pop accented rhythmically ambiguous 66bpm ‘Close To The Bone’ and 89bpm ‘Dangerous’.

SHALAMAR: ‘Take That To The Bank (M&M Remix)’ (MCA Records SHALT 1)
Their 1979 hit in a cooly percussive (0-)117½-117¼-0bpm remix for the Tavares crowd.

HARDROCK SOUL MOVEMENT: ‘The Beat Is Mine’ (Elite DAZZ 56, via DMS/RCA)
Max LX and Dave VJ aim for Full Force-ish rap sophistication through a hollow (0-)105¾bpm “drumkit” and bass synth beat that’s mixed so roughly the amateurish effect may just be deliberate, with the still superior 108¼bpm Get Stupid Fresh Remix of ‘Double Def Fresh’ as flip.

TEENA MARIE: ‘Emerald City’ LP (Epic EPC 26935)
The world’s most soulful white girl presumably due to commercial pressure, has produced a Prince influenced ugly rock-pop style side one — including the 12 inched 127bpm ‘Lips To Find You‘ (Epic TA 7270) — as side two finds her much more as of old on the samba 114¼-115¾bpm ‘Batucada Suite’, jazz 0-29/58¼-0-234-242-0-29¼-58½bpm ‘Sunny Skies‘, simplistic 83½bpm ‘Shangri-La‘, soulful 55½-0bpm ‘Love Me Down Easy’, even if they’re inessential for dancefloors. She completely produces herself, so there’s no Richard Perry to blame!

QUEST FOR LIFE: ‘Baby Don’t Stop Me’ (MDM Records MDM 912)
Evidently serviced domestically here although I’ve yet to see a UK copy, last Christmas’s pent-up meandering 102¾bpm soul tugger in Lamont Dozier ‘Rootsy’ style always was too specialist to cross over.

MAGAZINE 60: ‘Don Quichotte’ (US Baja B-54)
Maddeningly inconsequential Anglo-Spanish 118½bpm burbling Eurodisco loper by a French group, big on the Continent last year but due here from RCA in a fortnight following Falco inspired US success.

TIPPA IRIE: ‘Heartbeat’ (Greensleeves TIPPA T5)
Jerky fast 137bpm pop reggae which’ll need radio play.

MARVIN HOLMES: ‘Feel So Good’ (MCA Records MCAT 1070)
Chunkily lurching (0-)101bpm ‘Bad Mama Jama’-ish old style soul roller (inst flip), solid if uninspired.
