March 5, 1988: Kid ‘N Play, Big Daddy Kane, Simon Harris, S-Express, Spoonie Gee

ODDS ‘N’ BODS

Coldcut – featuring a top 10 position without Radio 1 support – have a much harder loping 117⅓-0bpm Upset Remix of ‘Doctorin’ The House’ (Ahead Of Our Time CCUT 2R), less gimmicky with added clavinet by Lord Byron III and two cymbal-shushed Acid Shut Up dubs… Derek B’s 117½-117¾bpm Dr Z In Full Effect Mix of ‘Spy In The House Of Love’ (Fontana WASXR 2) doesn’t have much to do with Was (Not Was), but is coupled with the already hot 0-118bpm Streets Ahead mix and Jeff Young’s old 0-117¾-0bpm Jeffrey B Young & Dangerous Mix… CCR Crew ‘Stretchin’ The Pieces’ – the Froggy and KC produced blending of Average White Band ‘Pick Up The Pieces’ and Stretch ‘Why Did You Do It’ – is belatedly in a satirically started 0-100¼-0-100¼bpm Now That’s Played Out Remix (Circle City Records CCYX 1), with a dialogue overdubbed 0-101⅙-0bpm Not So Played Out Remix Part 2 and sax tootled 100¼-0bpm Go Go Stretchin flip… Cousin Rachel ‘You Give Me So Much’ is in yet another 102⅔-0bpm No Way Out Mix (Supreme SUPETX 121), jigglier in Climie Fisher style with overdubbed soundtrack snips and hardly any vocal now… Billy Ocean ‘Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car’ is in a percussively interrupted 116½bpm AA Remix (Jive BOSR 1), strictly for creative marketing rather than musical purposes… Tongue N Cheek have a remix due, rumoured to be by Coldcut… The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu’s confusingly labelled ‘JAMS Have A Party’ (KLF JAMS 26T) is due to be remixed for full commercial release, a Scottish-accented typically maniacal 0-120¾-0bpm revamp of Sly & The Family Stone’s ‘Dance To The Music’… Stereo MC’s and Cesare’s label turns out to be called G Records, their single having been picked up by Fourth & Broadway for the US, where ‘Move It’ will be A-side… Wee Papa Girl Rappers ‘Faith’, as well as an instrumental, on commercial pressings includes the slow rolling 88⅓bpm ‘Bustin’ Loose’… Hurby ‘Luv Bug’ Azor’s various artists-performed rap LP is finally out here, Hurby’s Machine ‘The House That Rap Built’ (ffrr FFRLP 2)… Steve Crosby of Stoneleigh’s Diamond Duel record shop sent me a cassette of the c.124bpm naggingly acid house ’15 Minutes’, apparently from some as yet obscure source in New Jersey but due to be test marketed here on white label, and well worth finding… Bomb The Bass are now confirmed for Prestatyn (their first ever live gig), plus Roxanne Shanté, Biz Markie, MC Shan and Big Daddy Kane from the Cold Chillin’ label (as hinted last week!), Nitro Deluxe, Derek B, possibly Kid ’N Play, Steven Danté, Tony Stone, as well as all the others mentioned last week – which adds up to one hell of a line-up!… Tony Prince is now president of the Dance Aid Trust, which in its first year raised £65,774, from which £38,000 has already been paid to five different charities and further sums are being allocated now… Ralph Tee would appear to be leaving Arista to work (perhaps to the surprise of some) for Ian Levine’s Hi-NRG label, Nightmare… Stock Aitken Waterman and Rick Astley, having picked up all the awards they were due to win, rather noticeably were the first to walk out early from the Music Week Awards 1987 ceremony (at which, as last year, Tony Blackburn made an hilarious master of ceremonies) – perhaps they had more hits to work on?… I’ll be celebrating my 25th anniversary as a DJ during the DMC Convention, quite a thought!… Cutmaster Swift and Owen D’s photo captions were somehow switched last week, as many eagle-eyed readers quickly spotted… Des Mitchell is hanging on here for several weeks before returning to Tenerife, mixing at London West End’s Laceys Thurs/Sat and Southend-on-Sea’s Courtlands in Thorpe Bay Fridays… Chicago’s DJ International Records have opened a European office at Morgan Khan’s Ealing-based Westside Records… DM/StreetSounds are finally due to release on March 21 an eight album, 72 track ‘The Solar Box Set’, which I helped to compile, to mark the Solar label’s 10th anniversary… Casey Kasem’s ‘American Top 10’ is actually seen on TV here, even if it is in the middle of the night, four days before it’s shown in the US!… Warrior Records’ new ‘Acid Beats 1’ LP, cut into the actual vinyl by the matrix number, bears the message “In memory of Fat Larry who’s about to make a journey to the Centre City in the sky!”… Keith Sweat’s next release is rumoured to have a scratch ‘n’ sniff sleeve… PUMP THAT BASS!

CHAD JACKSON is gunning for nobody now that his year as World Champion is nearly up, his successor being the winner of the Technics World DJ Mixing Championships at London’s Royal Albert Hall next Tuesday, March 8. This will be the star-studded culmination of the Disco Mix Club’s three day DJ Convention, March 6/7/8, starting on Sunday with a welcoming party at the Hippodrome before the seminar discussion sessions on Monday at the Astoria. These will be interspersed by the Shure UK Rapping Competition, and by a preliminary sound of the World mixers (to ensure that just the six best are at the Albert Hall!). Full details from DMC on 06286-67276.

HOT VINYL

KID ‘N PLAY ‘Do This My Way’ (Cooltempo COOLX 164)
Hurby ‘Luv Bug’ Azor-produced Sweet Tee-tempoed 115bpm rap jitterer using Maceo And The Macks’ ‘Cross The Track’ in its three US mixes on the B-side, but here it’s already been remixed by Norman Cook and Dancing Danny D for the radically slowed down 108bpm A-side, with added boo-bedoo’s from Lou Reed’s ‘Walk On The Wild Side’, some “Idi Amin” at the start, and more.

BIG DADDY KANE ‘Raw’ (Cold Chillin’ W7953T)
First UK fruit of Warner Bros’ US vice-president Benny Medina’s new label signing is this sizzling import hit, a Marley Marl-produced 109⅘-109⅔bpm nervy rap jitterer cutting in Bobby Byrd, James Brown, the JBs, and the same ‘Grunt’ screech as Public Enemy (dubapella too).

SIMON HARRIS ‘Bass (How Low Can You Go) (Bomb The House Mix)’ (ffrr FFRX 4)
One of London’s leading hip hop producers throws in a bit of Public Enemy title line, James Brown “ain’t it funky now”, Soul Sonic Force ‘Planet Rock’, and too much more to mention in a monotonous 113¾bpm juddering jitterer with chugging offbeat syncopation, which shows up better on the 114¼bpm instrumental flip (bluesily burbling 97⅚-0bpm ‘The Playback‘ too), the A-side running out of inspiration halfway – although Simon says that’s to make it easier to mix!

S-EXPRESS ‘Theme From S-Express’ (Rhythm King LEFT 21T)
London DJ Mark Moore leads the Seventies flares fashion with a Rose Royce/BT Express-type buzzing bass synth and hissing hi-hat driven 117-0bpm semi-instrumental, full of samples, quotes and sound effects in current Eighties style (and three mixes), a likely hit.

SPOONIE GEE ‘I’m All Shook Up’ (Sure Delight SDT 5, via Jet Star)
Teddy Riley-produced dynamite jiggly James Brown-based 100⅓bpm rap quoting at times from Elvis Presley’s ‘All Shook Up’ (inst too), with a misleadingly titled slightly ‘Set It Off’-ish 108bpm instrumental ‘Godfather House Mix‘. The UK sleeve amusingly features photos of Elvis with Spoonie’s head superimposed.

SHEIK FAWAZ ‘Mohamed’s House’ (Circa Records YRTPR 10)
Mark Kamins’ Arabic records-spiced infectiously leaping piano jangled house galloper is here 124⅓- 0bpm, in its four original mixes on pre-release but minus the all-Arabic ‘Fawaz’s Groove’ when out fully on March 14.

THE KANE GANG ‘Don’t Look Any Further (Extended Mix)’ (US Capitol V-15359)
The Tyneside group’s UK album track remake of Dennis Edwards’ classic jogger is now in three ‘Goin’ Back To My Roots’-ish (0-)99⅓-0bpm remixes by Francois Kevorkian & Alan Gregorie, and — most noticeably — a radically different jerkily juddering 98⅙bpm B-Boy Vocal Dub by Mantronik!

BANANARAMA ‘I Want You Back (Extended European Mix)’ (London NANX 16)
Breezily jaunty (what else?) 123½bpm thudding pop chugger with the girls’ usual shrill trademarks, the B-side, however, having the co-credited STOCK AITKEN WATERMAN ‘Amnesia‘, a Seventies disco flavoured 117¼-117bpm cantering instrumental that’ll doubtless have more street cred.

BROOMFIELD ‘Broomfield’ (US Vision Records VR 3300)
Classy real soul set by Eugene (and Dee Dee) Wilde’s gently husky brother Al, Broomfield in fact being the family name, with the lovely fluidly swirling and loping 105bpm ‘Don’t Cover Up Your Feelings’, jiggly swaying (0-)104⅔bpm ‘Is It So Hard‘, Benson-ishly scatted jerkily wriggling 110¼bpm ‘Good Times‘, Vandross-ishly swinging 119½bpm ‘You Better Get Ready‘, 80¼bpm ‘Where Do I Go From Here’, 0-66⅔-0bpm ‘Read My Letter’, 64-0bpm ‘Light Up The World’, 0-51½-0bpm ‘Through All The Years’, 129bpm ‘She Can’t Get Serious’.

WALLY JUMP JR & THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT ‘Private Party (Sunshine Party Mix)’ (Breakout USAT 624)
Rather frantic old Philly Soul-inspired bumpily bounding racer remixed here by Les Adams with ‘I Just Can’t Stop Dancin’’ interspersed in this 123¼-123-122½-123-0bpm version, which cleverly includes Rockers Revenge ‘Walkin’ On Sunshine’ and the stylistically similar Double Exposure ‘Ten Per Cent’, while the far harder 123-123¼-123-123¼bpm Warehouse Dub actually slips in the O’Jays’ ‘Love Train’ after the appropriate “people all over the world, join hands” cue (122¾bpm Party Beats too). Not another ‘Tighten Up’, though.

The Original GANGSTERS OF FREESTYLE ‘Get The Hoe’ (US Under World AP 131)
Chunkily jittering (0-)115¾-0bpm electro jack (in four mixes) borrowing lines from Dem Niggas’ ‘Git The Hole’ and “brothers and sisters” shouts from Public Enemy — so in that respect its quite possibly UK influenced.

THE RANGERS ‘I’m Hot’ (US Posse Records POS 1225)
Originally on the Woojon label, this scratch-crammed jittery 98⅔bpm rap uses all the currently popular clichés tantalisingly for source spotters (inst flip), even the “I know you’re gonna dig this” intro. Uh-huh!

RICHARD VALENTINE ‘Come Back Lover’ (US Sleeping Bag Records SLX-40132)
Camply packaged (with bare chested ‘Sheik’ poses) meandering ticking jitterer something like a male Joyce Sims or Dhar Braxton, in no fewer than seven mixes by Robert Clivilles and David Cole, the 113bpm 1988 Club Version, Radio Version and Apache Beats, 112⅓bpm Hard Club Version, 112¼bpm Done Properly Dub, 112¾bpm Percapella, and datedly quite different 111-111⅓-112-114- 113¼bpm Original Club Version (the latter, apparently by the Fresh Band, obviously being quite old).

CUCA ‘Young Love’ (US Alpha International Records AI 12-100)
Nick Martinelli co-produced Philadelphia recorded girl sung old fashioned jerkily swaying 108bpm soul jiggler with some comfortingly familiar touches, and Latin tinges especially in the percussive break (edit/percussapella flip).

GRANDMASTER FLASH AND THE FURIOUS FIVE ‘Gold (Extended Version)’ (Elektra EKR70T)
Chatter started then lean bass rumbled and neatly scratched 105⅓bpm tough traditional lead-swapping rap (here in three versions, plus the somewhat barbed Afrika Bambaataa dedicated 0-99⅙bpm ‘Back In The Old Days Of Hip Hop‘, tracing history with “whoa-oh” chants).

SMITH & MIGHTY featuring JACKIE JACKSON ‘Anyone…’ (Three Stripe Records SAM 111, via Rough Trade)
Dionne Warwick’s — oh, all right, and Cilla Black’s — ‘Anyone Who Had A Heart’ sung just like the original but to a 93⅚bpm hip hop rhythm, to intriguing effect.

MANTRONIX ‘Simple Simon (You Gotta Rock Hard)’ (10 Records TEN X 217)
Jittery chugging 99⅔bpm rap with yowling and swimming rock guitar, another relative disappointment, in this and the also 99⅔bpm You Gotta Regard mixes, instrumental 99½bpm You Dubba Regard and ‘Simple Symphony (Dub Gotta Rock Hard)’.

SCRATCHMO ‘Play That Thing’ (Fourth & Broadway 12BRW 91)
Weird rumbling instrumental lurcher with trumpet and Louis ‘Satchmo’ Armstrong scatting amidst jittery 101½bpm go-go beats, brassy blasts and plonking piano (in two mixes).

PROJECT CLUB ‘How Low Can You Go’ (Supreme Records SUPET 125)
Sounding like a quickly tossed off Phil Harding creation (suspiciously like a Mel & Kim backing track!), this jangly jittering 118½bpm chugger uses the same Public Enemy “bass” line as Simon Harris (in three mixes).

TRAK THIS ‘Intense’ (US Ace Beat ACE 20074)
Tony Humphries-mixed nagging piano-jangled nervily leaping 122½bpm Serious Intention-ish house instrumental from New Jersey, flipped by the more lushly synth chorded 118bpm ‘I’m Happy‘ and drum tapped 120¼bpm ‘Mr “A”‘, with “pshta pshta” cymbals in all three.

PLUNKY ‘Tropical Chill’ (US N.A.M.E. Brand Records NB 3001)
Very pleasant gently pulsed 114½bpm lightly swirling soprano sax instrumental, nostalgic jazz-funk in mid-Seventies style, hotter than the A-side’s chugging 0-100½bpm ‘Skeletons On Sax’ tenor treatment of Stevie Wonder’s ‘Skeletons’ (both in three mixes).

JOE R LEWIS ‘Love Of My Own (Orig.)’ (US Target Records TG002)
Pleasant gently burbling 113½-0bpm house instrumental, with a more jerkily bounding totally different 120-0bpm ‘Dub My Own (Remix)‘, plus the washing machine jolted 117½bpm ‘9 Lives‘, acidically nagged sparse 118¼bpm ‘Confused House‘, and acidically synthed 0-116⅓-0bpm ‘Love Mystery (Of Love #2)‘.

BUNKER KRU/HARLEQUIN 4’s ‘Set It Off (Bunker 88 Mix)’ (Champion CHAMP 12-64)
Disappointing 110¾-111bpm total revamp with added ‘Jingo’-ish bass, scratches, vocals and a ponderously lumbering Germanic electro feel (0-110¾-111bpm Yojam Mix too) replacing the (included) Harlequin Fours’ 110¾-110⅔bpm classic “pshta pshta” cymbal beat, their original being one of the most mixed and biggest underground disco hits of 1985/6.

GLEN GOLDSMITH ‘Dreaming (Extended Dance Mix)’ (RCA GG 2)
Jolley/Harris/Jolley-created innocuously swaying 104⅓bpm jiggly jogger with Mike Stevens’ rasping sax adding a Marvin Gaye-ish flavour (inst flip). Doubtless the inevitable remix will be tougher.

GANGSTERS OF HOUSE ‘(There Was) Something Going On’ (SE1 Records 12HTP 1)
Hard Times Productions-created lean sinewy striding 121½bpm South East London house with street warfare sound effects (in three mixes), but — for the current chart climate — an odd lack of other actual things going on.

LOU ‘Rookies Revenge (Quantum Jump Mix)’ (Supreme Records SUPET 123)
Apparently recorded last September, when it would have been ‘Casanova’-ish still, Phil Harding sets this girl sung ‘Roadblock’-type jaunty jiggler to his Climie Fisher/Jermaine Stewart walking bass “hip hop” rhythm (in three mixes).

BLACK BRITAIN ‘Heroin (“Just Say No” Mix)’ (10 Records TEN X 201)
Blatantly hustling 123½bpm pop-aimed remix by Jack ‘N’ Chill of the floor-filling house funker that never really sold in its tougher original version, now flipped by the wriggly jogging ‘Real Life‘ with a ‘Don’t Look Any Further’-type bassline, in its lightly sung 0-100⅚bpm US Mix and instrumental (0-)101⅓bpm London Rare Groove Mix.

SOHO ‘Piece Of You (Stomp Mix)’ (HEDD Records HEDD 112, via Virgin)
Pop-aimed girl sung fast almost Hi-NRG 128-0bpm rattling flier with some yowling guitar, but the flip’s harder (0-)128bpm Arcade Mix is more like house.

UPYRZ ‘I Am The Plunge’ (Extra Records 12XTRA 4, via EMI)
Baroque strings started then ‘White Lines’ bass backed 99bpm somewhat magpie-like amalgamation of bits and bobs from many familiar funkers — James Brown, ‘Clean Up Woman’, etc — behind a rapping guy who’s presumably pronounced “Up Yours” (in four mixes).

LATEE ‘This Cut’s Got Flavor’ (US Wild Pitch WP1003)
Hollow echoing rap set to a 95bpm Seventies funk rhythm of the ‘Bad Mama Jama’ type, with scratched in “Brooklyn, Brooklyn” and sax (useful dub, and DJ Mark-duetted stark 97bpm ‘Puttin On The Hits‘).

FREDDIE McGREGOR ‘Come To Me (Extended Mix)’ (Polydor POSPX 905)
Smoochy very soulful 75/37½-0bpm groin grinder, truly soul and not reggae at all.

BETTY WRIGHT ‘Mother Wit’ (US Ms. B MB-3301)
Her samba-flavoured slinkily jiggling 108⅙bpm ‘Miami Groove’ is joined — to complete this LP review at last! — by such as the ‘Pain’-continuing bittersweet conversational 85½-42¾bpm ‘After The Pain‘ and 0-73bpm ‘No Pain (No Gain)‘, lightly jiggling ‘Clean Up Woman’-styled 94⅓bpm ‘Fakin’ Moves‘, and — an interestingly useful alternative to Jermaine Stewart’s version — bouncily swaying 96bpm ‘Say It Again‘.

BAM BAM (real name, Chris Westbrook), as warned last week, has had the long awaited UK release of his ‘Give It To Me’ import house hit immediately followed by a brand new 0-121½bpm Double Trouble Extended Remix (Serious OUSX 10), swamped with scratches and overlays using everything from Public Enemy’s “bass” to — well, just about the kitchen sink. It certainly ain’t “acid” any more!

MICHAEL McEVOY ‘Giving Good Feeling’ (IZE MIC-1, via PRT)
Pleasant gently plaintive 95bpm soul swayer, and the jerkily jogging 0-111bpm ‘Love Will Come Again‘, both so unassertive that they may be overlooked.

JONATHAN BUTLER ‘Take Good Care Of Me’ (Jive JIVE T 159)
Carefully derivative 0-74½bpm safe “classy” slowie designed for the US market.

FUNKTION FREEKS ‘One Posse Under A Groove’ (US Popular Records POP 8)
Updated (though garage rather than hip hop) jauntily romping 117¼-117⅓-0bpm remake of Funkadelic’s ‘One Nation Under A Groove’ (trumpet led harder Skyhigh Groove instrumental flip), possibly intended originally for the German market.

ELEANORE MILLS ‘You Can’t Have My Dreams’ (Debut DEBTX 3043)
Modernique-created thuddingly jittering 114-0bpm emphatic lurching roller, soulfully wailed with gospel girls and squealing soprano sax (in four mixes by Tony Humphries).

PEBBLES ‘Girlfriend’ (US MCA Records MCA-23794)
Perri McKissack (she used to sing with Bill Summers) has a US hit with this squeaky baroque “strings”-punctuated staccato perky 118¼bpm pop chugger, in Janet Jackson/Five Star/Prince-ish style (inst/dub flip), helped by an appealing video.

THE O’JAYS ‘Lovin’ You’ (Philadelphia International Records 12PIR 6)
Superbly soulful surging 74-75bpm nostalgically dated slowie, more like the DeIls than their own oldies, recently huge in the US and flipped by their unjustly ignored terrific house-ishly jangled locomoting 122bpm ‘Don’t Take Your Love Away (Extended Remix)’, plus the jiggly swaying 95bpm ‘Don’t Let The Dream Get Away‘.

---

HI-NRG

SINITTA ‘Cross My Broken Heart’ (Fanfare 12FAN 15), plaintively pitched thudding 116½bpm canterer with a sing-song chorus and rather more melody than usual;

HAZELL DEAN ‘Who’s Leaving Who (The Boys Are Back In Town Mix)’ (EMI 12EM 45), Stock Aitken Waterman-produced thuddingly bounding 120bpm galloper with an attractive Eurobeat-ish lilt, not due commercially for several weeks;

TRACEY ACKERMAN ‘Slave (For Your Desire)’ (Passion PASH 1281), frantically rattling jittery 131⅓bpm breakneck galloper – all about being just a slave “for your desire, somebody to light your fire”, so definitely not aimed at feminists!;

ENGLISH BOY ON THE LOVERANCH ‘The Man In Your Life (Gary Hart Mix)’ (New Rose NEW 100, via (Pinnacle), Dave Ball-created butchly changed galloping 127½bpm archetypal Hi-NRG rattler, so much so that it’s way over the top and practically satirical — certainly cynical — in its approach (Harvey Proctor and Melrose Avenue Mixes too), worth checking especially if you have a sense of humour;

EIGHTH WONDER ‘I’m Not Scared (Disco Mix)’ (CBS SCARE T1), Patsy Kensit-lisped and French-spoken lethargic Eurobeat-ish ultimately quite haunting 0-105⅚-0bpm slinker produced by the Pet Shop Boys and Phil Harding, the PSB involvement (as writers, too) presumably being what’s attracted Hi-NRG attention;

JELLYBEAN featuring ADELE BERTEI ‘Just A Mirage (12” Remix)’ (Crysalis JELX 3), thinly sung rather weedy 126-0bpm galloper, possibly a mistake after his three much meatier hits (tugging different near Eastern-inflected 118¼-0bpm ‘ Mirage (Dancer’s Dream)‘ and gutless 117⅓-0bpm ‘Who Found Who (UK House Mix)‘ too, both equally limp);

JAMIE DEAN ‘Heartbreak Avenue’ (Uptown Records 12UTR 7), plaintively screeched 120bpm rollicking canterer, destined to join the “Miami disco” mill-race when released in the US (on Capitol) at the end of April;

ROBERT JOHN ‘Greased Lightning’ (Domino Records DOM 9T, via Charly), the yelping ‘If You Don’t Want My Love’/’Sad Eyes’ veteran returns on a Michael Zager-created frantic 144½-0bpm churning racer, sounding now somewhat Bee Gees-ish (with Del Shannon-type squeaky organ);

SUBURBAN BOYS ‘The Hit Mix, Actually’ (Extra Records 12XTRA 6, via EMI), languid soundalike remake medley of various Pet Shop Boys hits, far from as exciting as it could have been;

ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK ‘Dreaming (Extended Mix)’ (Virgin VS 987-12), Eurobeat-ish spurting 0-124½-0bpm jittery backbeater with sometimes vocodered and stuttery mournful vocals;

LADY (KID) VEE ‘Rag Doll (I’m Not Your Sex Machine)’ (Uptown Records 12UTR 8), jerkily bounding 119½bpm age old plea for the man she sleeps with to talk to her as well (“I ain’t just a body, I’ve got a mind”);

AMANDA SCOTT ‘Lies’ (Quazar QUAT 4), Bonnie Tyler’s sister sounds similar on a slick US-style 0-140bpm speedy chugger.
