February 11 1989: Chanelle, The Stop The Violence Movement, The Style Council, Donna Allen, Tyree featuring Kool Rock Steady

BEATS & PIECES

MIXING STANDARDS may have been disappointingly low amongst most of the entrants in the 1989 Technics UK DJ Mixing Championships (don’t forget that many more DJs are knocked out at preliminary stages than end up in the heats), but it must be said that just about all who qualified for this week’s semi-finals are “up to scratch” and well worth seeing, so, whatever the outcome, next week’s grand final at London’s Empire Ballroom on Wednesday (15) is guaranteed to be really exciting! … I and other observers are beginning to think that future competitors should have to include a mandatory running synch mix in their championship repertoire, just to prove that they can actually “mix” before going off into flights of scratching fantasy (rather as Pablo Picasso proved he was a superb draughtsman before he began painting people with jumbled faces) … West London’s overall standard at Ealing’s Broadway Boulevard was not as low as last year (when the heat had been at Uxbridge’s Regals, swapped about this time as venue for the regional semi-final), but, as also at Romford’s Hollywood (like a downmarket Stringfellows), few real standout mixers were weeded out from over 30 entrants at each heat (for full results, see the photo captions) — obviously, most of the good London mixers with get up and go have indeed got up early and gone to compete in the provincial heats, once again … LL Cool J ‘Rock The Bells’ and Hashim ‘Al-Naafyish’ have continued to be this year’s groan-inducing “oh, not again” clichés — even Pogo used the latter! — while use of Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock ‘It Takes Two’ slowed down at the later heats, which was a pity as all the judges enjoyed going “wooo” — “yeah” along with it … Barking’s DJ T Rox was the first ever girl to enter the mixing championships, in recognition of which she was put into the Romford heat, unfairly to her as although performing bravely she really wasn’t up to it … Dancin’ Danny D, star producer/remixer of D. Mob fame and his own new Slam Jam Productions company, was for no reason prodded and pushed by the Romford bouncers as everyone was leaving … Sleeping Bag Records, offering a recording contract to the winner, are sponsoring the 1989 Shure UK Rapping Championships, in which rap acts are competing at this week’s mixing semi-finals before having a final of their own at the March 12 opening party of the 1989 International DJ Convention … Technics’ World DJ trophy this year will be a reputedly solid gold SL 1200 turntable! … rm reader Ray Young is losing sleep, incidentally, wondering why the Technics SL 1200 deck’s calibrated speed control slider does not reflect the actual mathematical percentage speed shifts that can be checked against the platter’s illuminated strobe markings — it beats me but, unless anyone else knows better, could it be because the slider’s stated percentages cannot be geared consistently to both the different 45rpm and 33⅓rpm playing speeds? … She Rockers ‘On Stage’ turns out on commercial pressings to be a Broad Beans Mix and 118⅘bpm, with an added 119bpm Instrumental Mix … Funkmaster Wizard Wiz’s flip, left out for lack of room last week, is the juddery thudding 96bpm ‘Fat Tim‘ … Cash Money & Marvelous’s album, reviewed in full on import, is now out here (Sleeping Bag Records SBUK-LP-4) … Wally Jump Junior & The Criminal Element ‘Thieves‘, promoed (and reviewed) back in October and dead as a doornail by December, appears only now to have been released commercially! … Bobby Brown’s UK follow-up will be a re-issue of ‘Don’t Be Cruel’, and MCA Records have also reissued the Mac Band featuring The McCampbell Brothers ‘Jealous‘ (which had zilch response when first about in November) … Ten City’s UK issued album ‘Foundation’ (Atlantic WX 249) arrived too late to BPM, so check The Club Chart as usual for all the latest beats, including no doubt those for the DJ Mark The 45 King produced import rap album, Lakim Shabazz ‘Pure Righteousness’ (US Tuff City TUFLP5557) … UK remixes this week, which likewise will be BPM-ed if they hit The Club Chart, include the Kevin Saunderson remixed locomoting stuttery Reid ‘Real Emotion (The Motortown Meltdown)’, Les Adams remade jittery rolling Bäs Noir ‘My Love Is Magic (Big Bäs Drum Remix)‘, Dancin’ Danny D remixed ‘It Takes Two’ overdubbed though rather messy Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock ‘Get On The Dance Floor (The Danny D Remix)‘, originally imported Cameo ‘The Skin I’m In (The Truth)‘, frantically jittering stuttery S’Xpress ‘Hey Music Lover (Spatial Expansion Remix)‘, not particularly improved The DJ Fast Eddie ‘I Can Dance (The Rapture Mix) ‘/’Hip House (The Annihilation Mix)’ … Ten City and Kym Mazelle, plus live bands, are confirmed along with the likes of Adeva and Monie Love for the rapidly approaching March 24-26 Easter weekender at Prestatyn — full booking details (get in there quick as the last one was vastly over-subscribed) on 01-364 1212 from Live-Wire, who hint that they’re also “talking” to Bobby Brown, Chaka Khan, Jungle Brothers and Cash Money as the final line-up is far from complete! … Martin Collins’ contributions to Capital Radio would appear to be non-vocal for the time being, until a clause expires in his old contract with Chiltern Radio — meanwhile, he and Colin Watts hold a Pink Elephant/Dumbo’s soul club reunion this coming Monday (13) at Luton’s Ronelles … Kim Vernon, Wes Allen and occasional guest Paul Landon pump out all kinds of house, hip hop and soul at Back Street Fridays in Preston’s Loot — the aforementioned Paul Landon has actually just launched the previously local In The Mix house music fanzine on a national basis, and plans a Play It Loud record label to follow (subscription and mailing list details from In The Mix, 83 St George’s Road, Deepdale, Preston, Lancs) … Rob Hemans, who teaches street dancing for charity purposes at Swindon’s Plus One youth centre (0793-642765), checked the scene in Moscow before Christmas and had ’em breakdancing in the snow — he now plans next winter to take the Stone Youth Enterprise dance/rap/graffiti hip hop troupe over to subvert Russian kids properly! … Colchester’s University Radio Essex, the county’s longest established radio station, celebrates its 18th birthday on March 1 with a reunion of its former staff (many now running BBC and ILR stations), a national student radio conference with speakers on all aspects of local and national media, and general on-campus hi-jinks — details from programme controller Will Jackson on 0206-863211, ext. 230 … Chris Paul has remixed Perri ‘I’m The One’ in ‘Ain’t Nobody’ style, while J.J. Fad ‘Supersonic’ is due again in a “hip house” mix … Disco Gary VanDenBussche, recovering from a fall off a seven foot stage (ouch!), infos that Big Daddy Kane ‘Wrath Of Kane’ is based on the JB’s ‘Giving Up Food For Funk’ played at 45rpm instead of 33⅓rpm, while M-D-Emm member Dave Lee, usually to be relied on, reckons that Def Jef ‘On The Real Tip‘ is also based on the Peter Jacques Band ‘Mighty Fine‘ … The 45 King ‘The 900 Number’ has torn the roof off everywhere except in supercool Bristol on the Technics mixing tour, so why hasn’t it been higher in The Club Chart? … Boy Meets Girl may be one of Alan Jones’s current faves but is, of course, only in the Pop Dance chart because it’s been returned by pop playing DJs — I was merely trying to point out last week that Alan alone compiles that (and the Hi-NRG) chart, its new entries being unknown to me until they appear in print … MC Jammy Hammy was found fast asleep at the wheel of his parked car, when Mel Medalie dropped off some Champion promos at his house early one morning, for no more exciting reason than that he had been up all night (during a period in which he only slept properly four times in eight days) putting last week’s rm column together! … Disco Mix Club leader Tony Prince looks so young now with his brushed forward hairstyle that he’s known as the Clitheroe Kid! … GIVE IT SOME OF THAT, KID!

---

DJ POGO, London’s overall winner last year, as widely anticipated won the East London mixing heat at Romford’s Hollywood, but confessed he was not on full form (it’s Pogo who scratches on, and produced, Monie Love’s current smash).

---

ROB NELSON from Bangor, Northern Ireland’s winner again at Portrush’s Traks.

---

DJ CARL, the lightfingered Carlos Hampden, convinced the judges that he should be second in Ealing by mixing backwards from the wrong side of the console.

---

DJ “WHIZZ KID” from St Albans was the deserved qualifying runner-up in Romford, actually doing long synched mixes and a “morse code” transformer scratch.

---

CUTMASTER SWIFT, defending 1988 Technics UK DJ Mixing Champion, is the man that they’re all going to have to beat in the 1989 UK finals next Wednesday (February 15) at the Empire in London’s Leicester Square, which by all accounts will be tough!

---

DJ SLIPMATT with, as record feeder, his partner DJ Lime are the group S.L. II (whose previously reviewed ‘Do That Dance’ is now out commercially on B/Ware! Records) — despite deserving a place in some judges’ estimation at Ealing he somehow didn’t make the top three.

HOT VINYL

CHANELLE ‘One Man (One Mix)’ (US Profile PRO-7241)
Kevin Hedge of Blaze co-produced, Frankie Knuckles & David Morales remixed, superb cool girl gurgled and wailed smooth bass bubbled weaving 119-0bpm garage strider (in three mixes), the new Adeva, instantly massive on import but due out here on Cooltempo at the end of the month (white labelled this week) with a bonus Blaze mix for the UK only.

THE STOP THE VIOLENCE MOVEMENT ‘Self-Destruction’ (Jive BDPS T1)
Reviewed in full on import only last week, this rapidly UK released all-star anti-violence rap message is here 0-104⅚bpm in its Extended Mix, Special Remix, and break beats augmented Instrumental versions.

THE STYLE COUNCIL ‘Promised Land (Longer Version)’ (Polydor TSCX 17)
Instantly hotter than Joe Smooth’s original, this ‘Magic Juan’ Atkins mixed much more fully textured and forcefully galloping 125¾-0bpm Paul Weller and D.C. Lee raggedly wailing cover (Pianopella Version too, and also house styled 119¾-0bpm ‘Can You Still Love Me?‘ flip in two versions) is already about in the actually Joe Smooth remixed even better more tensely snapping, cymbal schlurped clacketty rattling 125¾-126-0bpm much altered

‘Promised Land (Joe Smooth’s Alternate Club Mix)’ (Polydor TSCXS 17),
flipped by the now J.Z.J. remixed far better and tighter piano jangled jittery “deep” style (0-)120-0bpm ‘Can You Still Love Me?’ in Club Vocal and 12 O’Clock Dub versions.

DONNA ALLEN ‘Joy And Pain’ (US Oceana 0-96575)
Already well established on import album but now 12-inched and remixed, this gorgeous classily swaying 108bpm sinuously soulful revival of the Maze featuring Frankie Beverly standard is in four different mixes, Nick Martinelli’s Dance Version and Edited Dance Version being more lushly full bodied while Eric Schilling’s Edited Remix and LP Version are more starkly tapping.

TYREE featuring Kool Rock Steady ‘Turn Up The Bass’ (US D.J. International Records DJ 970/ffrr FFRX 24)
The biggest and best of all the “hip house” hits, this exciting Lyn Collins ‘Think (About It)’/Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock ‘It Takes Two’ “woo —yeah” punctuated house tempoed jumpy rap is — pay close attention! — in differently titled and BPM-ed although otherwise the same mixes on import and UK pressings (the latter for full commercial release in a fortnight), the Fast Eddie scratched/Tyree remixed (0-)126½-bpm Scratch It Up Mix and Fast Eddie remixed 126½-0bpm Music & Edits here being segued on the A-side as the (0-)125⅔bpm and 125⅔-0bpm Super Duper Mix — Parts 1 & 2, Tyree’s (0-)127-0bpm Turn Up The House here being mis-credited as the (0-)126-0bpm Fast Eddie Mix, Julian ‘Jumpin’ Perez’s 123½-0bpm Jumpin’ Mix here being 122½-0bpm, while Tyree’s actually more acidic 123½bpm Hip Hop is only on the import. Confused?

KINGS OF SWING ‘Stop Jockin’ James’ (US BumRush! BR 2944)
“Find someone else’s break beat besides James Brown” is the gist of this challenge to unimaginative rappers, a languidly rolling and rumbling but fast talking lead-swapping 0-102⅚bpm rap ‘n scratch by Mike Master and Sugar K (jaunty 0-104⅙bpm ‘Microphone Junkie‘ flip, and instrumentals too), much played already on radio and potentially massive if only short supply had not so far made it hard to get.

ICEMAN EDWARDS ‘Love’s Got 2 Be Strong’ (US Sound Pak SPR-1029)
Rickster-produced superb soulfully crooned and semi-rapped sinuously flowing slick deep house, perhaps with a slightly too repetitive Instant Funk-ish “love’s got be strong, I can’t be left hangin’ on, I’m doin’ the best I can, how much more can one man stand?” main lyric, in Ten City style 124⅕bpm Key To The Club and 124bpm Inst. Groove Mixes, or totally different machine washed stuttery 124bpm House and Underground Mixes.

ICE-T ‘The Hunted Child (Remix)’ (US Sire 0-21149)
Although the drily talked slinkily jiggling 101⅔bpm ‘High Rollers (Remix)‘ is emblazoned as the title tune on this eye-poppingly packaged six-tracker, the hot cut is this siren backed nervily churning 123bpm “hip house” leaper (Instrumental and A Cappella too), while the angrily droning and scratching 112⅓-0bpm ‘Power (Remix)’ (113-0bpm Instrumental too) is also more floor-aimed, all putting across a message.

JAY & ACE ‘That Ain’t My Child (Extended “Bitch” Mix)’ (US Crazy Hype! Records MRC-1086)
Terrific rollingly lurching George Clinton ‘Atomic Dog’ backed 0-101bpm amusing splutter rap, answering Cheryl Pepsii Riley’s ‘Thanks For My Child‘ with hilarious invective and the facts of life (in four mixes). As the label copy says (along with an explicit lyrics warning), “This record is meant to be a joke, if you don’t think it’s funny don’t listen to it”!

KID ‘N PLAY ‘Rollin’ With Kid ‘N Play’ (US Select FMS62335)
Their album’s “oh-la oh-la” chanting standout now remixed and much improved by Gail “Sky” King, this Ripple ‘I Don’t Know What It Is But It Sure Is Funky’-quoting infectious real go-go tempoed jiggly rap is in five new 103⅔bpm mixes plus the 103⅙bpm LP Version, much better than their current UK release.

TAKING YOUR BUSINESS (T.Y.B.) ‘Just Got Laid’ (US Idlers WAR 034)
Burbling old yakkety sax funk track backed, presumably Johnny Kemp ‘Just Got Paid’ inspired, good humoured chattering lead-swapping rap about “making out”, in 113¼-0bpm and 113⅓-0bpm vocal versions and 113¼-0bpm dub, flipped by the fast toasting lurching ‘Show ‘Em How It’s Done‘ in 106⅔bpm vocal, 106⅔-0bpm dub and tempo-less acappella.

VICTOR ROMEO presents: Leatrice Brown ‘Love Will Find A Way’ (US Dance Mania DM 018)
Pleasantly smooth though sometimes rawly emoted rollingly chugging garage-type house in attractively slinky 121bpm Club and more starkly thudding 0-121bpm Radio mixes, flipped by the Tyree mixed stuttering and twittering instrumental 124⅖bpm ‘Acid Rain (Rain Dance UK Mix)‘.

THE DYNAMIC DUO ‘We’re Back’ (US nugroove NG-008)
Tommy Sozzi & Tommy Musto created usefully familiar samples built 120bpm shuffler like a less frenetic Todd Terry project, prodded by “get on up” from Bohannon’s ‘Let’s Start The Dance’ and “do it” from Raw Silk’s ‘Do It To The Music’ while every individual noise is probably traceable back to a well known oldie, making it a surefire floor filler (in Gotham City Mix and Caped Crusader Dub versions).

THE KIDD CITY ORCHESTRA ‘I Got Something Here (Club Mix)’ (US More Music MM-004)
Michael ‘Kidd’ Gomez created stuttery 123⅘bpm Todd Terry pastiche rearranging guess which Black Riot synth riff along with the Royal House siren and other user friendly elements, coupled by the possibly better and less restrictive, still siren accented although otherwise different bassily bounding instrumental 124bpm ‘Tonight’ in MKG’s Mix, New Year Dub and Acid Mix versions.

2 GUYS ON ACID ‘House Music (All Night Long)’ (US Lower Level Records LLR4)
Tommy Musto & Frankie “Bones” created well worn title line repeating insistent stark jittery chugger in 118⅘-119⅕bpm Club House Mix, 119⅖-119bpm Percappella, more acidic 119⅕bpm Cool House Dub and 119⅖-119⅕-119bpm Call It Acid Dub, break beat driven 119⅖-119bpm Froot Loops 2 versions.

BABY FORD ‘Fordtrax’ (Rhythm King BFORD 3)
Sounding like what might happen if Marc Almond met the Pet Shop Boys on an acid trip, this 45rpm 12 inch twin-pack “album” is very much pop house, with the machine washed swimmingly phasing mystical 0-121⅗bpm ‘Crashing’, typical jerkily skittering 123-0bpm ‘I Love It‘, joltingly shuffling 119¾bpm ‘My Innersence‘, frantic twittery 130-0bpm ‘Flowers‘, muttering surging 0-118⅘-0bpm ‘Reprise‘, truly “acid jazz” (0-)123⅙bpm ‘Fordtrax‘, thinly speeding 124¾-0bpm ‘Chikki Chikki Ahh Ahh (Promo)’, steam driven 123-0bpm ‘Oochy Koochy (Konrad Cadet)’. Basically, for the sort of “acieed” fan who never was into black music.

THE GAP BAND ‘I’m Gonna Git You Sucka’ (Arista GAP 1)
Title track from what apparently is a ‘Shaft’-spoofing movie about “gold chain wars” (to quote from the also featured Boogie Down Productions ‘Jack Of Spades’), this Norman Whitfield co-penned but group produced and Frankie Knuckles mixed sombre jittery rambling jogger is now just in the here 100½bpm Extended, punchier Single, and 100⅔bpm Tripped Out Dub Versions, something of a grower which will probably burst into life at the cinema.

IZIT ‘Stories (The Jackanory Mix)’ (Pig & Trumpet PT001)
Chakachas ‘Jungle Fever’ based slinkily weaving 0-93-0-93bpm pleasant “street soul” instrumental, inserting ‘Listen With Mother’-quoting “are you sitting comfortably — good then I’ll begin” in some of the pauses where once there was lewd panting (7” Mix too, and datedly frantic Britfunk 138bpm ‘Move Out Of My House’ flip).

JAMES LEE WILD ‘Stroke Of Luck’ (Polydor JLWZ 1)
Offputtingly packaged (more like a rock record) but burbling bass pushed whiningly nagging 0-118⅕bpm garage tempo jitterer that should work in with the Turntable Orchestra (in three mixes, on promo anyway).

LEVERT ‘Just Coolin’ (Extended Hip Hop Remix)’ (US Atlantic 0-86459)
Remixed by Stetasonic’s Daddy O with Heavy D’s “twiddly diddly” intro and rap break, some cool flute, and a hesitantly jolting jiggly juddering sparse 0-100⅚-0bpm hip hop bet, this nevertheless also fits right into the “swing” syncopation that currently dominates the US black chart (100⅚-0bpm Hip Hop Dub Mix and jerkier Original Version Re-edit too).

ALYSON WILLIAMS ‘Sleep Talk’ (US Def Jam 44 68193)
Really wailingly introed, ‘Funky Drummer’ break beat backed rather Full Force-like lurching 0-106⅔-0bpm jitterer with extremely soulful singing allied to hip hop rhythm techniques (and an uncredited Oran ‘Juice’ Jones interruption halfway), flipped by the superb Chuck Stanley duetted acoustic piano backed soaring gospel-style ‘I’m So Glad‘.

WILL TO POWER ‘Fading Away (Power House Mix)’ (US Epic 49 08183)
Shep Pettibone remixes good smoothly cantering 123⅕-0bpm slick and largely instrumental pop house (in four mixes), due here in a fortnight as follow-up to their current ‘Baby I Love Your Way/Freebird’ medley.
