May 14, 1988: M-D-Emm, James Brown, The Pasadenas, By All Means, Animal Nightlife

BEATS & PIECES

Due commercially on May 23, the freshly re-EQed full length soundtrack LP version of Rose Royce ‘Car Wash’ is 108(intro)-113-114-116-114½-115⅔-118-119-122(break)-120-123bpm, and the flip’s S-Express-like ‘Is It love You’re After’ 116-118-120-121⅓-121-116-120-121bpm (not a major news item in itself, but, what with telephone interruptions, that info took three quarters of on hour to calculate — so be grateful, people!)… Disco Mix Club’s subscription service mixes have always been eligible for our dance charts, given enough DJ support, but the first ever actually to hit The Club Chart are both from the ‘April 88 Mixes 1’ LP, Paul Dakeyne’s alternative 98-97⅚bpm remix of the Jackson 5’s ‘I Want You Back’, and Ben Liebrand’s rhythmically augmented 111⅓-0bpm Taja Sevelle ‘Love Is Contagious’ (emphasising the waltz tempo’s triple time beat) — subscription details for bona fide DJs on 06286-67276… Coldcut have produced their ‘Doctorin’ The House’ singer in her own right on the upcoming Yazz & The Planet Squeeze ‘Only Way Is Up‘… WEA’s man of the year has been winding up DJs with a white labelled ‘Illeagle Mix‘ that’s actually Nick Kamen’s ‘Tell Me’ given a juddering (0-)108-114-108⅓-107⅔-108-108⅓-108bpm bass bombing megamix by Camberley DJ Dave Roarty, sampling such as Dave & Ansell Collins, James Brown, Madonna, Aretha Franklin, Janet and Michael Jackson… T.U.F.F. (T.ested U.nder F.ull F.orce) ‘We’ve Got A Hot One For You‘, on Sonoscope promo, is yet another “Lady Penelope” started totally unoriginal ‘Thunderbirds’ scratching 0-120½-0bpm volume pumper — when will they ever end?… MC Jammy Hammy’s cries of “get off” and “not again”, as heard on LA Mix’s ‘Check This Out’, stem from the UK heats of the Technics Mixing Championships, when a certain degree of impatient intolerance on my part as a judge led to the coining of these catchphrases every time some unsuspecting DJ decided to scratch mix “this is a journey into sound”!… Les Adams’ ‘Luther In Love’ megamix, the side that’s been selling it, is evidently left off the flip of Luther Vandross’s new ‘I Gave It Up’ remix – likewise, ‘PO Box 2000’ is being left off the Brothers Johnson 12 inch here (to be replaced by their old ‘Ain’t We Funkin’ Now’)… Will Downing, whose current US single is the album version of ‘Sending Out An SOS‘, has totally remixed ‘In My Dreams’ as his UK follow-up… Guy’s members, as well as producer Teddy Riley, are lead singer Aaron Hall III and bass guitarist Timmy Gatling… RCA’s 12 inch club promos will soon have a new generic sleeve featuring a vertical list of Beats Per Minute figures, the appropriate one for the enclosed record being underlined (somehow in a tie-in with Technics turntables)… Club have picked up the underrated Click ‘Freq. Jam‘, one of the UK’s better acid trax… May Day bank holidays left me no time to BPM new LPs by the provocatively posing naked (and sex obsessed) Prince, back on romantic form Teddy Pendergrass, typically sophisticated Sade, and (on import) US radio-aimed Randy Hall, disappointingly downtempo Johnny Kemp… Dave Prater, the one time partner of Sam Moore in Sixties soul duo Sam & Dave, died last month in a car crash… New York’s B Boy Records has signed here to Westside Records, one of the first UK releases being a double LP distillation of three old Boogie Down Productions albums… Meli’sa Morgan’s June 18/19 London debut at the Hammersmith Odeon will be supported by saxist Najee… The Pasadenas follow an invitation-only preview this Thursday at London’s Ronnie Scott’s with a short tour around Wakefield’s Roof Top Saturday (May 14), Bristol’s Papillon Monday (16), Glasgow’s Cotton Club Friday (20), and Liverpool’s Quadrant Park Saturday (21)… DJs Brian G, Pete Funnel! and Rockie house/soul/rap/funk York’s hard and crucial Sweatbox every two weeks, this Saturday (and the second Saturday in each month) at the Windmill, followed on the last Friday of each month (starting May 27) at Keatons… Sunday (15), DJs Fat Tony, Dave Dorrell, Tim Westwood and more man a noon to midnight dance marathon of Hammersmith’s Le Palais to raise money for on AIDS hospice… Dartford’s Flicks raised £2,700 at its most recent charity allniter, all for local good causes… Tony Masters and Paul The Soul Man, plus guests, have a Sixties and Northern Soul alldayer at Torquay’s Coral Island Showbar this Sunday (15), noon-10.30pm… Chris Dinnis returns next Wednesday (18) to Boxes on Exeter’s Quay with Bob Smith for a “real soul” Humdinger 1 (£1 advance tickets on 0392-39477, after 5pm)… Mick Fuller funks upfront Mondays at Brighton’s Swifts, and Sundays at Hove’s Palmeira (pub hours)… Simon Dunmore, Jon Jules and Paul Warren are hard ‘n’ upfront weekly at the Tuesday Soul City in Greenford’s Greenford Hotel, on Uxbridge Road… Paul McBride souls and funks Belfast’s Wellington Park on Wednesdays, saying “We need as much plugging as possible for soul here in Belfast”… Portsmouth mixer Warren Aylward hosts a weekly Wednesday Goodgroove soul night at Southsea’s 5th Avenue… Jeff Thomas, of Swansea’s Martha’s Vineyard fame, also souls Thursdays at Merthyr Tydfil’s revamped The Kooler (formerly the Kirkhouse)… Martin Jay counts down The Club Chart from rm every Thursday at Lewisham’s Mid Kent Tavern… Tim Smith only ever seems able to slip soul records onto the air at Metro Radio over bank holidays, but at Newcastle upon Tyne’s Blue Monkey he has added a Klassix night on Thursday for oldies and rare grooves… Steve Cochrane, already ramming “Rick Astley and Madonna-free” Freestyle Mondays, has taken over Fridays as well at Harlow’s Highwire, with Rose Royce guesting this week (13)… Nick Power funks up Fridays at Braintree’s “wild style” Ice Club in the Essex Barn, and is slightly more commercial on Saturdays at Hatfield’s Partners… Mike Knight funks and hip hops Sundays at Aberdare’s Baverstocks Hotel… Damon Jay has moved from London’s Gullivers to join John Mayoh jocking at Wakefield’s Casanovas, mixing acid, funk, and soul Fri/Sat/Mon, and especially Wednesdays… Martin McSweeney, back in a club as resident jock at Rotherham’s Harveys Nightspot, is also busy producing a “jazz house” project… Disco Dave Singleton, still at Eccles The Rainbow after 11 years, has started an agency and (on 09252-6018) is after a pair of Manchester/Merseyside girls for a kiss-o-gram and go-go dancing work… South Wales DJ Steve Wiggins has his own Up-Front music column in the Barry & District News now… London’s Evening Standard last week ran a competition, “The Garage club was credited was being the birthplace of house music, in which American city?” — ignoring the fact that house was born at and named for the Warehouse in Chicago, one assumes they meant the Paradise Garage in New York!… I seem to be joined by many other readers in rating ‘Hooperman’ as the best new thing on TV: another creation of Stephen Bochco (of ‘Hill Street Blues’) with Terry Louise Fisher, the Sunday evening half hour series stars John Ritter (of ‘Three’s Company’) as a San Francisco police inspector and the delightful Debrah Farentino as his apartment block’s janitor, plus an enchanting little dog called Bijou… Chester Browton, from Selsey, suggests I might contribute to the rare groove craze by listing what I consider to be the best Seventies funk records never to break commercially — the trouble is, I really don’t remember the Seventies, they passed in a blur (however, if you want to know about the Sixties…!)… GET OFF!

HOT VINYL

M-D-EMM ‘Get Busy (It’s Partytime!)’ (Republic Records MDM001T, via Rough Trade)
From much the same stable as ‘Beat Dis’ and ‘S-Express’, this must be one of the next volume pumping crossover hits. Created primarily by Rough Trade’s Dave Lee (second left), DJ Mark Ryder (kneeling) and Mike Chill (right), with Lincoln Anderson and Caffy, it’s in three very different mixes, the Peoples Choice ‘Do It Any Way Ya Wanna’-ish chunkily routine 0-118¾bpm Club Mix (inspired also by Loleatta Holloway ‘Hit ‘N’ Run’, MFSB ‘Love Is The Message’ and the Salsoul Orchestra ‘You’re Just The Right Size’, without sampling any of them), the jazzier cool house 120¼-0bpm Busy House Mix (speeding up an old Black Heat riff), and —biggest in London — the rare grooves-like S-Express-ish 117¼bpm Body Action Mix, sampling phrases from the likes of Joeski Love, Cameo, Micronauts, Soul Sonic Force, Fatback Band, JR Funk, Jammers, B Boys, Trouble Funk, Sweet Tee, Johnny Dynell and MFSB (all the horns though being original, merely typifying the flavour of the period).

JAMES BROWN ‘I’m Real’ (US Scotti Bros 4Z9 07805)
“All you copycats out there get offa my chip”, shouts Mr Brown as he kicks into the first single from his eagerly awaited Full Force-produced LP, a deliberately archetypal 0-105½bpm jerky funk jitterer given modern transformer scratches and juddery edits (especially in the really fierce 105⅚-0bpm ‘Real (F.F. Hyped-Up Mix)‘ flip) while remaining basically the same old James Brown that all the copycats have so long admired.

THE PASADENAS ‘Tribute (Right On) (The Q Street Mix)’ (CBS PASA T1)
Pete Wingfield produced, Richie Rich remixed, terrific mushy hi-hat shushed Seventies style 0-107bpm jazz-funk jiggler with music history tracing vocals, by the old Finesse disco dance troupe, right on target for the latest retrogressing trend.

BY ALL MEANS ‘I Surrender To Your Love’ (US Island 0-96656)
Superb lazily weaving (0-)89⅔bpm real soul slowie by an oddly named male vocal group, causing a huge stir since it arrived initially on import seven inch, flipped by the equally good more “modern” snappily jolting 111⅓-0bpm ‘We’re Into This Groove‘, with nice doodling sax.

ANIMAL NIGHTLIFE ‘Always Your Humble Slave (Big Bang)’ (10 Records TENX 213)
The Andy Polaris-led pioneers of smoky urban Eighties cool return rather surprisingly with some jerkily leaping 0-125½-0bpm frantic untidy UK house sampling bursts of Dinosaur’s L’s ‘Bango’, Dirk Bogarde movie dialogue and even Hank Williams steel guitar —however, this is flipped by the more typical and subtle half-tempoed then flying 62½-125bpm jazzy Gold Diggers Of ’88 vocal version produced by Lenny White (similar 125¼bpm seven inch version and drifting (0-)119½bpm ‘Badlands’ too).

SUAVÉ ‘My Girl (Club Mix)’ (Capitol 12CL 491)
The Temptations’ 1964 classic sung in much the same way by this new fellah (pronounced “Swarvay”), but given a modern wriggly, jerkily jolting 102⅔-102½bpm bouncy abrupt beat that’s in both Club Nouveau and Phil Harding/Climie Fisher style (edit/acappella flip).

TERRY BALDWIN (Housemaster) featuring BUD LATOUR ‘Do You Wanna Dance?’ (US Future Sound Records FSR 1005)
Fast selling aggressive title stuttering 126-0bpm acid house with snarling “washing machine” synth before the rhythm lifts into plonking piano, coupled by the possibly even fiercer 0-125½-0bpm ‘Nothing Over’, Martin Luther King-stuttered thudding 125½-0bpm ‘I Have A Dream‘, and ‘Dragnet’-introed 0-125½-0bpm ‘Delta House‘, all similarly sulphuric.

CITY HEAT ‘Rock Me (In the Cradle Of Jazz)’ (Crash Recordings CR-1203, via 01-675 3858)
Rightly championed by Robbie Vincent on Radio 1 but available only as a promo on a label that seems to be staying deliberately in this country anyway (see the later Funky Ginger review), this excellent lethargically jogging bumpy 83bpm slow swayer is sultrily sung in Sade style by Joanna Law (in three mixes), brother Simon presumably being either the self same Funky Ginger or Dr Ross of the Emergency Services production team.

PEBBLES ‘Mercedes Boy (Extended Version)’ (MCA Records MCAT 1248)
Chunky bassline jittered Madonna-pitched 114⅔-0bpm bright lurching canterer, yet another song that says “I’ve been watchin’ you”, flipped by the jerkily rumbling Janet-like 0-109¾bpm ‘Love/Hate‘.

SAMANTHA FOX ‘Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)’ (Jive Foxy T9)
Promoed already in Jon Williams’ vocal-less scratch remix, the actual Full Force created and accompanied jerkily bolting wriggly 0-112½bpm US pop funk smash is just as relevant to black music as Pebbles (and pressed in pink vinyl!)

TYKA NELSON ‘Marc Anthony’s Tune’ (US Cooltempo VAS 1079)
Prince’s sister debuts with a spurting 85⅓bpm radio ballad, almost in Diana Ross style, the funkier snappily lurching 108¾bpm Pebbles-type ‘Be Good To Me‘ flip having more outright disco appeal.

NORMAN CONNORS ‘Lovin’ You’ (Capitol 12CL 485)
Gabrielle Goodman sounds just like Minnie Riperton singing this therefore fairly pointless though naturally pleasant 0-27⅔/55⅓bpm revival, fine for radio, and she also squeakily squalls the flip’s dull lurching (0-)118bpm ‘Obsession‘ (from the CD), while huskily masculine Spencer Harrison “woo woo woo”s his groaning way through the 0-88¼-88½bpm ‘I Am Your Melody‘. Wake me when it’s over.

ALEXANDER O’NEAL ‘The Lovers (Extended Version)’ (US Tabu 4Z9 07812)
Louil Silas Jr-remixed sinuously rolling 0-105⅙-0bpm chugger (in four mixes), never one of his last album’s highlights and still seeming rather routine, although naturally competent.

COLD CRUSH BROTHERS ‘Feel The Horns’ (US B Boy Records BB-601)
Short staccato urgent 0-98bpm rap to a jittery sax riff in James Brown-ish style, flipped for contrast by the lazy groove-cutting 0-93bpm ‘We Can Do This‘, by troopers Kay Gee The All and DJ Tony Crush.

LAVINE HUDSON ‘Intervention (Extended Mix)’ (Virgin VST 1067)
Another London gospel girl debuts with an Aretha-ish monotonous thudding jiggly 111⅙bpm soaring swayer, the initial pressing having hit the chart while still on pre-release although apparently the proper commercial version will be a (to my mind) much needed remix, hopefully with more light and shade as undoubtedly the girl can sing.

MR. X & MR. Z ‘Respect’ (US G FINE Sounds GF 12002)
Lyvio G and P Fine-produced rapper Mr X and DJ Mr Z go for theirs on a “drumkit”-ticked dry 103½bpm rap inspired and partly backed by Otis Redding’s Aretha Franklin classic (not the original recording from the sound of it), coupled by the groove-cutting juddery 100⅓bpm ‘Silly Rabbit‘ and Sam & Dave-scratching vigorous 113⅓bpm ‘Let’s Do This‘ (various dubs too).

MICHELLE AYERS ‘Another Lover — Mad As Hell Mix’ (US Jump Street JS-1015)
Blaze-produced and vocally backed hi-hat hissed loosely burbling 0-119½bpm bounder in the same nagging New York style as Russ Brown’s ‘Gotta Find A Way’ (in five mixes, the flip’s alternative main Blaze Mix being 121⅓bpm).

ANNETTE TAYLOR ‘It Must Be Right’ (Cooltempo COOLX 162)
Untidily rambling 111⅙bpm jittery striding dated New York soul wailer with hints of Whitney influence although much less polished (dub flip).

JUNGLE BROTHERS ‘Because I Got It Like That’ (Ton Son Ton SONL 6)
Naggingly driving oddly infectious Sly & The Family Stone ‘You Can Make It If You Try’-based talk-chanted 103bpm jitterer (in four mixes), with a deadly little organ riff, funk rather than rap.

SYDNEY YOUNGBLOOD ‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ (Circa Records YRTPR 12)
Club Nouveau-ish gently jiggling 90-0bpm Bill Withers revival by a Germany recorded American GI, pleasant but perhaps lacking bite despite technoflash edits by Zeo (currently on pre-release).

THE FUNKY GINGER ‘Slaughterhouse (Psychiatric Mix)’ (US Easy Street EZS-7538)
Picked up from London’s purposefully opaque Crash Recordings label to gain greater attention as an import, this Simon Law-created burbling and occasionally surging bassline driven strange loosely meandering 0-116¼-116⅓-116bpm groove has disjointed spurts of chatter and wordless female wailing, ending in ‘Stone Fox Chase’-ish harmonica (“this is a test”-scratching alternative more volume pumping and maybe easier Emergency Mix flip), neither house nor acid although odd enough for that market.

RAH BAND ‘Nice Easy Money (Intruders In The House)’ (E&F Records EFT 4, via Supreme Records)
Richard Hewson joins the volume pumping rat race with a M|A|R|R|S bassline adapting 0-108bpm beat switcher overlaid by sampled “there’s something funny going on around here” dialogue and bursts of jazzy vibes (in three mixes), sadly limp and derivative.

BOOGIE DOWN PRODUCTIONS ‘My Philosophy (Extended)’ (Jive JIVE T 170)
KRS-One’s nervily jittering (0-)94-0bpm wordy rap scratches a sax riff from ‘Sister Sanctified’ (in four mixes), but has rapidly been overshadowed by ‘Stop The Violence‘ from the import LP.

JACKMASTER BLACK ‘DJ Mega Track’ (DJ International Records/Westside Records DJINT 2)
Bland girls overdubbed zingily “disco” 123¾-123¼pm medley of Chicago house tracks, flipped far more interestingly by the properly megamixed Colin Faver and ‘Evil’ Eddie Richards-created homegrown hared [sic] 0-116¼-116⅔-118½-119-120-120¾-120½bpm ‘Westside Jacks’ (this review being better late than never!)

---

REMIXES

SABRINA ‘Boys (PWL Remix)‘ (Ibiza Records IBIZX 1), new more sharply jittering 120bpm Pete Hammond mix of the busty young Italian beauty’s chugging European smash, due at the end of the month;

ROUGH CLUB ‘Bad Times (I Can’t Stand It) (Serious Mix)‘ (CityBeat CBX 1219), beefier busily jerking (0-)121½-0bpm acid house tinged remix by Hard Times Productions of the girls squawked UK remake of Captain Rapp’s oldie, with a much chunkier lurching 123bpm Not So Serious Mix flip.
