BEATS & PIECES

EMILIO PASQUEZ turns out to be the creator of that ‘Batman’-based ‘Sounds From The Pink Sand Box (Volume 3)‘ mystery “yellow label”, due now for full release on WEA credited to Emilio — but in reality (as ‘Beat Dis’ label copy readers might by now have guessed!) this is the pseudonym of Bomb The Bass producer and S-Express member, studio engineer Pascal Gabriel… Jon Williams is moving from Jive in three weeks to run the Club label at Phonogram — meanwhile, his limited edition white label Wee Papa Girl Rappers ‘Faith 1’ remix, incorporating George Michael, has been changing hands for £50 as if it was a bootleg, demand is so intense, although his latest white label remix will eventually get full release, the 0-112½-0bpm ‘Play It Again Sam‘ (Jive JP 1) being in fact Samantha Fox’s current Full Force produced ‘Naughty Girls Need Love Too’ US hit with her vocals stripped off and volume pumping samples added!… E.U. ‘Da’Butt’ has also been in great demand (catching importers on the hop) following Chris Hill’s success with it at Prestatyn, and isn’t out here until the end of May… MCA have acquired Rose Royce ‘Is It Love You’re After’ (S-Express’s inspiration) from the old Whitfield label to be the flip of ‘Car Wash’, merely re-EQed rather than remixed… Break Boys ‘And The Break Goes On’ is being rushed here next week on Hardcore, while Todd Terry Project ‘Bango (To The Batmobile)’ will finally be on Morgan Khan’s new US-licensed Fresh/Sleeping Bag Records logo — however, this latter may not be without problems, as previously reported, because the flip’s ‘Back To The Beat’ borrowed ‘The Sound’ and now London will be issuing Kevin (Reese) Saunderson’s tit-for-tat ‘The Sound (Power Remix)‘ and ‘Rock The Beat’!… Do It Properly?… Leigh Guest, sole remaining member of the Double Trouble remixing team, has signed exclusively to Serious Records as a megamixer, while ex-partners Damon Rochefort and Mike Morrison are starting their own GRC (General Recording Company) label along the lines of Serious with a ‘House Music Vol 1‘ compilation its first release… Taurus Boyz has apparently been totally revamped by Dancin’ Danny D… Tyree ‘Acid Over’, the only real “acid track” on ffrr’s ‘Acid Tracks’ compilation, is due at last as a remixed white label… Essex mixer Mark Ryder, as tipped months ago, has teamed with Rough Trade’s music expert Dave Lee and partner Mike Chill to create M-D-Emm ‘Get Busy (It’s Partytime)’, due fully on May 9, another volume pumping bass bomber but in three very different versions, the routine 0-118¾bpm Club Mix, cooler 120¼-0bpm Busy House Mix, and rare grooves jammed more ‘S-Express’-style 117¼bpm Body Action Mix (the one that’s biggest in London)… Limelight DJ Hamish MacDonald is masquerading as ZPL on the very S-Express-type bass bombing 0-112¼-0bpm ‘Disco’, promoed now but not due on Jive until June… Pebbles’ follow-up has already been promoed, ‘Mercedes Boy‘, a jittery lurching 114⅔bpm canterer that I still consider is Madonna-pitched pop… Georgio’s as yet unscheduled follow-up is the hi-hat hissed simple striding wriggly 116¾bpm ‘Bedrock‘, with scratchy brass… I got the spelling wrong in my warning, but in case you still don’t realise, the ponderously chugging juddery (0-)103⅚bpm Myk ‘Mr Heartache’ is in reality Kim Wilde with Junior… Annette Taylor ‘It Must Be Right’, new last week on import, is already promoed here on Cooltempo… The JAMs’ newie is now credited instead to The KLF, and called ‘Burn The Beat‘ (club side) with ‘Burn The Bastards‘ the Scottish accented ‘Dance To The Music’ side, both still 0-120½-0bpm… New York’s black radio DJ Hal Jackson (see the Robbie Vincent caption) was already a veteran star of WWRL when in 1964 I went to his testimonial all-dayer at Harlem’s Rockland Palace Ballroom where amongst others I met Dizzy Gillespie, Arthur Prysock, Tony Bennett, Babs Gonales, Eddie Jefferson, the Four Seasons… Brook Benton, the chocolate voiced soulster best remembered for his Fifties and Sixties hits, sadly died earlier this month… James Brown was probably generalising when he said he’d influenced the Beatles amongst other unlikely UK groups, but even so his egocentric appearance on Robbie Vincent’s excellent Radio 1 soul show from New York seems to have hurt his credibility, younger listeners, finding him out of touch… Tony Blackburn is sampled saying ‘OK gang, what do you think, is this a load of garbage?’ on the M|A|R|R|S/Bomb The Bass sending up 0-109⅔bpm Star Turn On 45 Pints ‘Pump Up The Bitter (Brutal Mix)‘ (Pacific DRINK 1)… Mick & Pat’s video features, in the background, Mike Stock on keyboards, Matt Aitken on bass and Pete Waterman – or is that A Linn? – on drums (however, I think another more fully produced alternative video may have replaced this by now)… Portsmouth label Domino Records have stickered last year’s weedy 121¾bpm remake of The Michael Zager Band ‘Let’s All Chant’ (DOM 6T) as the “original hit version” — which it isn’t, so be warned… WEA’s man of the year has sent jocks an import 12 inch of John White ‘Victim‘ (US Geffen Records 0-20798), on Alexander O’Neal-type jolting jogger still in its old 102¾bpm LP Version… Ray Keith, Dave Malone, Guy Palmer and Turbo get def/rare/soulful at Sudbury (Suffolk) Jades this Thursday (April 28)… Friday (29) finds Stu Banks and Max Rees bombing the house at Harston Village Hall in Cambridgeshire, and Gilles Peterson guesting with Steve Wren and Les Knott at Harlow Monroes’ weekly Toejammer… Mike Allin is joined at Milton Keynes’ The Point by Wee Papa Girl Rappers on Saturday (30), when Nicky Holloway’s threatened last “Doo” ever is at Streatham Ice Rink with Pete Tong, Gilles Peterson and the usual crew… Gt Yarmouth Tiffanys’ Sunday (May 1) 6-12pm Beach Ball stars Chris Hill, Pete Tong, Gilles Peterson, Chrissie Jackson, Nicky Holloway, Eddie Gordon, Paul Dakeyne, Bob Jones, Danny Smith, Craig & Marcus… Bank Holiday Monday (2) then finds Chris Hill, Pete Tong, Jeff Young, Chris Brown, Kev Hill and Froggy at Portsmouth Ritzy’s all-dayer, Liverpool Mardi Gras Club having its fifth monthly No Sell Out up-front funk-up, Clinton Cambridge spinning compact disc soul at Uxbridge’s free admission The Villa Venue Bar and Tim Westwood, Graeme Park, Simon Goffe, Tony Dortie, Paul French at Gillingham The Avenue’s Soul Stew (publicity for which was sent me actually stuck around a can of Campbell’s Chicken Stew — delicious, if a bit runny!)… Tony Jenkins still needs a few more PAs (on 0895-73486) to help ram jam another Up West night at London’s Hippodrome next Wednesday (4)… Graeme Park wants to be known as a Nottingham DJ, which is where he lives, but as the only regular gig amidst his globe-trotting seems to be in Derby, a “Derby DJ” he’ll remain until he can prove otherwise!… GET OFF!

---

ROBBIE VINCENT, sitting in for Jeff Young this Friday (April 29) on Radio 1’s 7-10pm dance show (with Les Adams creating a special megamix), so impressed the locals during his own recent live broadcast from New York that Hal Jackson, the veteran black radio jock there and current owner of the Apollo, has invited him to do a show live at that world famous Harlem theatre!

---

TIMMY REGISFORD —returning to the faces behind the names on the labels — was born in Trinidad but has lived longer now in New York, where he’s had a Saturday night show on WBLS since 1983 while becoming famous internationally as a remixer of countless dance hits, and producer of such as Colonel Abrams (partnered initially by Boyd Jarvis, with whom he shared the short lived Fleetwood label). Having worked also for Atlantic, he currently heads MCA Records’ New York A&R department.

HOT VINYL

TEN CITY ‘Right Back To You’ (US Atlantic 0-86574)
The fastest selling import in a while (on the heels of the enduring ‘Devotion’, this Marshall Jefferson and Byron Stingily-created surging episodic bounder has Sylvester-style vocals in Steve ‘Silk’ Hurley’s 120bpm Extended Mix or is instrumental in Marshall Jefferson’s trumpet led excellent 119¾bpm NY Mix, while as an even longer and equally good coupling there’s the Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk mixed rollingly pattering jittery 104bpm ‘One Kiss Will Make It Better (House Mix)‘ – not that the latter soul track is “house” at all. With over 27 minutes of music on the import 12 inch, WEA’s problem here will be what to include on the UK pressing, limited by chart rules to just 20 minutes. You’ll get it all if you buy this now!

TRUE MATHEMATICS ‘K.A.O.S.S.’ (Champion CHAMP 12-76)
On UK promo for some time but pipped to the post in sales terms last week by the import pressing on Select (which ought to teach Champion, who always promo things too long!), this Hank Shocklee co-produced obviously Public Enemy-ish KC & The Sunshine Band ‘That’s The Way (I Like It)’-cutting 104bpm busily juddering jittery rap is double AA-sided (instrumentals too) with the electronically compressed “telephone call”-like rapped lethargically jiggling 99bpm ‘For The Money‘, set to a James Brown sampling variation on the old ‘Bo Diddley’ beat.

PRINCE ‘Alphabet St. (Album Version)’ (Paisley Park Records W7900T)
Idiosyncratic as ever though funkier than usual, the purple prancer’s latest is a starkly percussive jerky rambling 104⅔bpm choppy jitterer, with a psychedelically expanded 0-104⅔bpm This Is Not Music, This Is A Trip dub.

SOUL II SOUL ‘Fairplay’ (10 Records TEN X 228)
Due fully on May 9, this Rose Windrush wailed rather inconclusive rambling jiggly (0-)100⅚bpm jogger (in three mixes) has a rare groove feel that’s brought it massive pirate radio support in London, although I doubt if it’ll mean so much elsewhere as there’s no real song.

ROYAL HOUSE ‘Can You Party’ (US Idlers WAR-021)
Likely to have more universal appeal, this Todd Terry created exciting 0-123½-0bpm house leaper amalgamates obvious elements from such as Marshall Jefferson ‘Move Your Body’, Original Concept ‘Can You Feel It’, 2 Puerto Ricans A Blackman And A Dominican ‘Do It Properly’, Soul Sonic Force ‘Planet Rock’ and more (in three mixes).

BLOW ‘Go’ (10 Records TEN X 219)
Pigbag meets M|A|R|R|S in a densely throbbing 114-0bpm instrumental chugger led by Herb Alpert-type trumpet with scratch breaks (in two versions, plus the tugging slow 0-87bpm ‘Wait A Minute’), not blatantly like ‘Pump Up The Volume’ although you get the impression they’ve probably heard it!

STETSASONIC ‘Sally’ (US Tommy Boy TB 912)
James Brown-cutting joltingly jiggling 102bpm Original Concept-ish scratch ‘n rap quoting from Sir Mack Rice’s ‘Ride Sally Ride’, coupled even more strongly though by the Maceo And The Macks ‘Cross The Track’-based 104¾bpm ‘DBC Let The Music Play‘ (instrumental too, and acappellas).

52nd STREET ‘Say You Will‘ (10 Records TEN X 215)
Manchester’s girl-led answer to Loose Ends return with a relatively disappointing wriggly 109⅓bpm strider, flipped however by the far more satisfying mellow swaying 107⅓bpm ‘I Will Wait’, sax-backed classy modern soul (radio edits too).

REBEL C + L.A. ‘Rugged’ (Bass Records Inc BA-001)
West Indian accented 102bpm straight remake from Bethnal Green of ‘Rebel Without A Pause’, scratching in Public Enemy’s actual “brothers and sisters”, and flipped by the rare groove based chatting 0-100⅓bpm ‘Funky Music Is My Style’ (dubs too). The suspicion voiced last week in my Ingram Inc review was correct, this is obviously a UK label despite its import-style pretensions.

CHICAGO CONNEXTION ‘You Beat Dis (Spring 88)’ (Beat 4 Beat BB005)
TV soundtracks plundering 0-111⅙bpm bass bombed scratch mix using Public Enemy, Cookie Crew, Petula Clark, Detroit Spinners and more, with a brighter very ‘Beat Dis’-style 0-121½-0bpm Part II, transformer scratching Taja Sevelle amongst others. To judge by the postmark, this 33⅓rpm white label comes from Wolverhampton.

CYBERTRON ‘Turntables Do It’ (Warriors Dance WDT 101, via 01-968 9506)
Three Wize Men’s DJ Fil Chill mixes up a beefily cantering bubbly 119¼bpm volume pumper lull of scratches, based on Funky Four Plus One ‘The Mexican’, Rockers Revenge ‘Walking On Sunshine’ and more (dense bass burbled 119¼bpm ‘Right On Time’ flip).

D. MOET & X-CALIBUR ‘Everything I Own’ (US EMF Records EMF 803)
Mesmerically fascinating 94⅔-0bpm bouncy bayon tempoed rap and reggae treatment of the David Gates-penned old Ken Boothe smash, a likely crossover hit if released here, coupled with a strong rapping 104⅓-0bpm scratch mix of James Brown’s ‘Goodfoot‘, and the fast talking wordy 94⅔bpm ‘Dance To Excalibur‘ (dub too).

TURNTABLE ORCH. ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’ (US Music Village Records MV-0036)
Hippie and Paul Scott-created excellent hopefully not over subtle piano nagged unhurriedly jittering 115½bpm burbling “garage” groove with mournfully droning male vocal and a midway telephone chat with a Spanish girlfriend (in three mixes, plus the Tellapella ‘phonecall).

MAGIC LADY ‘Magic Lady’ (US Motown 6252ML)
Emotions/Jones Girls-ish shrill squeaky Linda Stokes and Jackie Ball wail through not only their currently 12-inched (here slower) 109¼bpm slightly Sister Sledge-ish ‘Betcha Can’t Lose (With My Love)’ but also, on a consistent LP, the soulfully swaying 103⅙bpm ‘I Will Be His Fool‘, relaxed romantic 0-76⅓bpm ‘Misty-Eyed‘, jerky Janet-ish pop 120¼bpm ‘Love Overdrive‘, old fashioned breezily lurching 120¼bpm ‘Cupid‘ (not Sam Cooke’s), snappily smacking 111¼bpm ‘Hit And Run‘ (not Loleatta Holloway’s), attractive drifting 97⅙bpm ‘Yes I’m Ready‘ (not Barbara Mason’s), Aretha-ish sweetly sultry 73¾bpm ‘Wait A Minute’ (not Tim Tam & The Turn-Ons’), nicely jogging 90½bpm ‘Paradise’ (not Sammy Turner’s), and pleasantly rolling 101⅓bpm ‘Summer Love’ (not Joni James’s). I confess to looking up the last two, but I knew all the others, which is how I spotted what could have been an amusing title concept if carried through the whole album! In fact, the whole set is co-penned by producer (and Linda’s hubby) Michael Stokes.

BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS ‘By All Means Necessary’ (US Jive 1097-1-J)
Murdered DJ Scott La Rock’s surviving rapper KRS-One handles solo a sombre wordy set, on which the big club hit so far is the sometimes reggae accented 0-91bpm ‘Stop The Violence’. Full review to follow, as unfortunately I ran out of time to BPM this and a few other imports.

RAZE ‘Break 4 Love’ (Champion CHAMP 12-67)
Possibly haunting sombre spacious thudding 119-0bpm chugger with a mournfully weaving male vocal line and background female sobbing and panting, not so much house as synth-pop although in the Jamie Principle mould (sensuously muttering 118⅔-0bpm Caught In The Act Mix, too), due commercially next week.

SYKE DYKE ‘Street Freak’ (Fourth & Broadway 12BRW 95)
Richie Rich scratching like crazy to an otherwise dull 99⅓-99⅔-00bpm jerky go go backing by Trouble Funk’s Robert Reed (in three versions).

HIJACK ‘Style Wars’ (Music Of Life NOTE 16)
Simon Harris-produced (of course, on his own label) 101bpm droning angry rap in Public Enemy style (and four mixes).

M.C. DUKE ‘I Don’t Care Anymore’ (Music Of Life NOTE 15)
Simon Harris co-produced monotonously nagging 94½bpm downbeat rap (another that’s set to an intriguingly slow variation of the ‘Bo Diddley’ beat!), coupled with the grooves and newscasts-based anti-apartheid 97bpm ‘Free‘.

B.B. & Q. BAND ‘On The Beat (88 Bronx Mix)’ (German Streetheat STH S29 MIX)
Jerkily tricksier 120-119⅓-0bpm new remix, hard on the heels of the recently reviewed and perhaps still preferable 87 Bronx Mix, but flipped by a Peter Vriends-created 103⅙-105⅓-108½-112-113¼-115-116⅓-117-117¾bpm ‘88 Break Out Mega Mix‘ of their past material (using running mixes, not scratches, in traditional style).

SHERRICK ‘Baby I’m For Real’ (Warner Bros W7942T)
Faithful enough wailing heartfelt 55bpm revival of the Originals’ Marvin Gaye-created 1969 sweet soul classic, likely to be helped a bit by its classy video, flipped with the jiggly rolling 106bpm ‘Send For Me’ and jittery strutting 115bpm ‘This Must Be Love’, all from his now rather old debut album.

THE TEMPTATIONS ‘I Wonder Who She’s Seeing Now’ (Motown ZT41548)
Dennis Edwards rips his larynx out souling this gorgeous lushly harmonised 88⅔bpm slow swayer, with some Stevie Wonder harmonica (edit, and frantic 151-0bpm ‘Girls (They Like It)’ flip).

BARRINGTON LEVY ‘She’s Mine’ (Time 1 Records ATR022, via Jet Star)
Nice jauntily lurching 84⅔-0bpm bouncy reggae, with tonsil twisting melismatic vocal twiddles (dub flip).

ULTIMATUM ‘The Real Beat’ (G Records ULT 001)
Clint Eastwood “do I feel lucky”-started sombre talking 97½bpm narrative rap with an AIDS warning, not maybe a floor-filler but very subtly layered by DJ Rob B with Sly ‘s ‘Family Affair’ sneaking in amongst others (Inst/Dope Beat flip).

COOL C ‘C Is Cool’ (CityBeat CBE 1221)
Sparse stark jolting 97bpm rap with bits of groove beats cut into it, coupled with the similar even drier 95⅚bpm ‘Down To The Grissle’ (instrumentals too).

T.W.C. ‘Who Gizza (4X) (Lethal Club Mix)’ (Jaxx JAXX 2, via PRT)
Snippets-filled burbling 112⅘-0bpm bass bomber (in three mixes) created by Cardiff’s “bedroom mixing” Noise Boyz, Steve Teear and Ian Gallivan, very slick but nothing really stands out (this is not the white labelled ‘Don’t Touch That Dial!’).

TODD 1 & JOHNNY D ‘All The Ladies In The House’ (US Cut Up! TBO Sound CIR-156092)
Hurriedly messy 109-0bpm dated crowd response rap ‘n scratch, another (although actually out a while) using the Average White Band’s ‘Pick Up The Pieces’, with a better instrumental version (and a live jam).

---

POP DANCE

NEW ORDER ‘Blue Monday 1988’ (Factory FAC-73R), Quincy Jones-remixed though not really radically different 130½bpm treatment of their frantic 12in classic, with added Jew’s harp-type noises and other surface textures, plus another more frenetic DJ Only Mix as flip;

DETROIT SPINNERS ‘Working My Way Back To You’ (Atlantic A90712T), Chris Paul’s zingily bounding 121¾-121⅔bpm remix of their old Four Seasons remake is not due commercially until May 16, but is sure to have hit dancefloors as a promo before then;

SUBURBAN BOYS ‘Commumix’ (Extra 12XTRA 8, via EMI), useful bright 141¼-139½-0bpm medley of remade Communards and Bronski Beat hits, much better than their disappointing Pet Shop Boys medley;

HARRY ENFIELD ‘Loadsamoney (Doin’ Up The House) (The Turbo Nutter Mix)’ (Mercury DOSH 112), this over-cluttered scratching and sampled densely chugging 0-115⅓bpm bass bomber may not be what the public are expecting but, considering the instant popularity of his new character’s catchphrase, it’ll obviously hit, despite not being funny at all;

DEBBIE GIBSON ‘Out Of The Blue (Club Mix)’ (Atlantic A9091T), digital stuttering started 126¼-0bpm nervily jittering adolescent churner, in a tweeter sizzling sibilant cut;

HABIT ‘Lucy (TFZ Mix)’ (Virgin VST 1063), Climie Fisher ‘Rise To The Occasion’-type (0-)86-0bpm jiggler using the “Phil Harding” go go hip hop walking bass rhythm;

BILLY OCEAN ‘Calypso Crazy’ (Jive BOS T2), synth chorded insistently chanted rumbling strange slow 88⅚bpm jittery judderer, possibly too ponderously downtempo for his pop fans despite a “Phil Harding”-ish tempo (more soulfully jerky 105⅔bpm ‘Let’s Get Back Together’ flip);

DARYL HALL & JOHN OATES ‘Everything Your Heart Desires (If You Want The World Extended Remix)’ (Arista 609 869), ponderously starting and generally over-long (on 12 inch) though typically sung (0-)100-99⅔-0bpm rolling jogger;

ALF ‘Stuck On Earth (House Mix)’ (RCA PT 41804), eventually reaching some rap and soundtrack overlays by TV’s alien life form, this 0-110¼-0bpm chugging Ben Liebrand creation actually scratches in Public Enemy’s “brothers and sisters”, and has been huge in Holland;

GABY LANG ‘Shame’ (Rise Records RISE T14), simple ploddingly smacked and digitally stuttered 118½bpm modern remake of Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King’s exactly 10 years old classic (which, together with Sid Haywoode’s ‘Boogie Oogie Oogie’, suggests disturbingly that the Seventies disco revival is being taken at a mundanely literal level by some record makers), flipped by the Minnie Riperton/Taja Sevelle copying tortuous squeakily swooping 62bpm slow ‘How Am I’;

BOX TROUBLE ‘Box Trouble’ (Rise Records RISE T12), likewise, while such as S-Express revive the Seventies with flair, this trumpet tootled jittery 115bpm groove is just dated “disco” despite some scratching trim (in two mixes);

SMOKEY ROBINSON ‘Love Don’t Give No Reason (Dance Mix)’ (Motown ZT 41784), cowbell clonked hi-hat hissed bubbly bass burbled 0-117½bpm lightly leaping loper.

---

REMIXES

PENTHOUSE 4 ‘Bust This House Down (The Turnaround Mix)‘ (Syncopate 12SYX 10), totally revamped much improved beefily bounding 119¾bpm Les Adams remake, retaining only the original vocals and bass, with recreated elements from ‘Jingo’ and ‘Love Can’t Turn Around’ (the reason Les needed that Roland TR909!);

GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS ‘Lovin’ On Next To Nothin’ (Dance Remix)’ (MCA Records MCAX 1237), totally altered and improved by Dancin’ Danny D, with new lurching 0-109⅔-0bpm beats, more space and stabbing organ;

S-EXPRESS ‘Theme From S-Express (Herbal Tea Casualty Mix)‘ (Rhythm King LEFT R21T), more percussive very sibilant 116¾-0bpm new re-balance, without so much Rose Royce brass;

GENE & JIM ARE INTO SHAKES ‘Shake! (House Mix)’ (Rough Trade RTT 216R), preferable spaciously opened out and less busy 0-121½bpm drumkit and bass driven treatment;

ROB BASE & DJ E-Z ROCK ‘It Takes Two (Tuff Audio Mix)’ (CityBeat CBX 1224), stripped down bass drum boomed and transformer scratched Derek B remixes, in 111¾bpm Take 1 and 112bpm Take 2 variations, different if not necessarily better;

BAM BAM ‘Give It To Me (Acid Revenge Remix)’ (Serious OUSXX10), not that different but mutteringly vocal 125½bpm alternative with cymbal smashes and nagging fruity synth.
