BEATS & PIECES

BIG LIFE are rush releasing the De La Soul album here this week, largely as a result of its appearance in The Club Chart despite their attempt to get US imports banned — they had originally scheduled its UK release for later in the month, March 27 now instead being the release date for Richie Rich’s remix of the set’s hottest track, ‘Me Myself And I‘ (which on reflection is perhaps more ‘Knee Deep’ than ‘One Nation Under A Groove’!) … Merlin is featured rapper on the Beatmasters’ early April released jerkily tumbling 124-0bpm ‘Who’s In The House‘, this paraphrased but blatant remake of ‘Turn Up The Bass’ being a dig at Tyree as they claim to have originated the very first “hip house” record in 1986! … Eddie Gordon has called his new dance department at BMG the apt Dancin! In The Streets — it embraces the Bertelsmann Music Group’s labels RCA, Arista and Motown plus subsidiaries (on 01-636 8311, ext 2266) … Everton Webb of Birmingham’s Sidestep Promotions (021-643 6584) has taken over the club promotion of Big Life (aided by the label’s Tessa Lewis), which includes Ahead Of Our Time too … Graham Gold, veteran jock at Soho’s Gullivers and co-compiler of the excellent monthly Disc-Eyes music video service, is preparing a heavyweight bid for the Greater London FM community radio licence, his proposed station being tentatively titled Sound Of Urban London (SOUL-fm) … ‘Joy And Pain’ will be Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock’s next “new” single, both here and in the States … Bonnie Byrd here will be on the new BsBi label, presumably a Mahesh Bajaj venture … Desire have picked up Corporation Of One ‘The Real Life’, while Fourth & Broadway have Keyman Edwards … I began BPM-ing the UK pressing of Deniz ‘You Were The One’ and, on finding that our Metro Mix equivalent of the import’s Club Mix appeared to be much the same, assumed that the other mixes ,were unchanged in speed too — however, on closer examination I find that they’re not, so adjust last week’s review to make the House Mix 118½-118bpm, Shameek’s House Mix 118⅙-118⅓bpm, Metro Club Mix (0-)116⅖-116⅗-116⅖bpm, Deniz-A-Pella 116½bpm (drat, that’s another half hour out of my life!) … Radio Clyde’s mix master Paul Welsh actually threw me a wobbler by suggesting my BPMs have been getting inaccurate over the last few months, but by recalculating several using a different stopwatch and then re-BPM-ing records from way back I found no divergence — so maybe it’s Paul who needs a new watch or deck (don’t forget there are discrepancies between different pressings and mixes, which I monitor separately, the given Beats Per Minute only applying to the particular version stated) … DJs who return charts would in fact do Alan Jones and myself a great favour if they could detail the different mixes they might be using of individual tunes (incidentally, we do not supply printed chart forms — use your own paper unless serviced with chart forms from other sources) … Graphic Records have released a descriptively titled ‘Past, Present & Future‘ album of Darryl Payne productions (LIPS 4), for full review later, with tracks by such as Brian Keith, Sinnamon, Marc Sadane, Dino Terrell and NV … N.W.A.’s ‘Straight Outta Compton’ album (US Ruthless), apart from a revival of the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band’s ‘Express Yourself‘, is a particularly filthy rap set full of repetitive obscenities and the glorification of gang violence — yet I heard one “mutherf***ing”-filled track being played on a European radio station when tuning my new car’s radio! … 12 inch imports for future full review include the Talking Heads ‘Once In A Lifetime’ — sampling hip house KC Flightt ‘Planet E‘ (RCA); jaunty girls chanted and samples studded early Eighties-style electro Domino ‘Cuties Get Connected‘ (Profile); frantic Todd Terry-ish samples-crammed LNR ‘Work It To The Bone’-based Casanovas Revenge ‘Let’s Work‘ (Invasion), which includes the “wooo”/”yeah” driven ‘Here We Go‘; Jungle Brothers ‘I’ll House You’ rudely remaking No Face ‘Hump Music‘ (Mess); Glenn ‘Sweety-G’ Toby created percussively driving pop aimed The Klub ‘Stand Up‘ (Smokin’); Philly recorded superb weaving soulful guy sung Theryl ‘Open Up Your Heart‘ (Hot Soul); breathily tender slow swaying blue eyed soul Dino ‘24-7‘ (4th + B’way); Jocelyn Brown-ishly wailed bashing backbeat jolted jogging Towanna Sheppard ‘The Stronger The Love‘ (Renown International Records); ‘You Don’t Know’ rearranging stuttery jittery Serious Intention ‘We Know‘ (Easy Street); MFSB adapting jazzily chugging and bubbling MFM Orchestra ‘Love Is The Message’ (MFM); Tommy Musto produced squeakily “street soul”-ish bounding Arlene ‘Who Will It Be?‘ (Midnight Sun); urgently rapping and scratching Sir Fresh & DJ Critical ‘Sit’em Down (Git’em & Hit’em)‘ (Solid Goals Records); Master Ace, Craig G, Kool G Rap and Big Daddy Kane rapped, Joe Tex piano sampling murky slow Marley Marl ‘The Symphony (Remix)‘ (Cold Chillin’); Reggie & Vincent Calloway produced strangulated guys sung juddery uttering Sharp ‘Playboy‘ (Elektra) — and there are more! … Orchestra JB ‘On A Love Groove‘ (Metro Media Music) is becoming a big “cover-up” secret for several trendy jocks who considered it to be a naff volume pumper when new, while 1977’s Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers ‘Egyptian Reggae‘ (Berserkley) is much revived by more pop orientated trendies around London … Tim Westwood and Max ‘n’ Dave are joined next Wednesday (15) at London Camden Lock’s Dingwalls for a Rap Review 3 by DJ Pogo, Monie Love, Top BiIlin’, London Posse, Trouble, plus probable guests from the previous night’s World Mixing final … Ket Shah, Stewart Eden and DJ Lewis play hard tackle Fridays at The Harlem Shuffles in London Edgware Road’s Jools Wine Bar … London’s Hippodrome has apparently re-started gay Monday nights … Daryl Stafford ended up as only a temporary stand-in at Southampton’s Magnum, where the resident DJ is still Richard Hunt — who has also taken over from emigrated Adrian Dunbar at Bournemouth’s Bolts … Soul II Soul’s latest vocalist, Caron Wheeler, was formerly in La Famille, and the rock stars backing vocal trio Afrodisiak … LA Mix’s album, currently in mid-production, is likely to surprise everyone with its variety of styles, and emphasis on real instruments as well as machines! … North Wales, looking lovely in the sun last week (between occasional snow flurries), is already about as advanced vegetationally as a normal April and, even should things only stay the same until Easter, will be well worth exploring by Prestatyn weekender visitors if the weather is good — head for the hills, to the west and south-west across the Vale of Clwyd, and get lost on purpose! … I seem to have stumbled on a pattern for finding good value, ex-garage director’s slightly second hand cars in Wales, a swap between my 1986 “C” registered red Nissan Silvia and an “F” reg white one (with air conditioning and other luxury refinements) only costing me a difference of £4,000 last week … Disco Mix Club’s international DJ convention starts this Sunday, you hardly need reminding, so I’ll see you all there? … WOOO! YEAH!

HOT VINYL

JUNGLE BROTHERS ‘Black Is Black (Ultimatum Mix)’ (Gee Street GEE T15, via Demix/Rough Trade)
Vocally augmented by Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest and totally remixed here by the Stereo MC-associated Ultimatum, this buoyantly jiggling 117½bpm calmly stated Malcolm X quoting anti-segregation rap is followed by the more sparsely bubbling vibes prodded jazzy 0-117½bpm ‘Ultrablack’ version, and double AA-side flipped by DJ Soul Shock’s previously imported 0-99⅔-100-99⅔-0bpm remix of the slinkily weaving ‘Straight Out Of The Jungle‘ (which drops into Grandmaster Flash’s similar ‘The Message’ amongst other funkily rumbling quotes), plus the languidly muttering 0-99⅚bpm ‘In Time‘ featuring Q-Tip again.

HEATHER AUSTYN ‘Bad Attitude (Extended Mix)’ (Urban URBX 33)
Martin Freeland created soulfully wailed and fast phrased chunkily jiggling strong UK recorded 110⅘bpm funk jolter (instrumental flip), not due commercially until March 20 but proving too hot to hold back.

THE MINUTEMEN ‘OK, Alright’ (US Smokin’ TAI 126615)
Norberto ‘Norty’ Cotto-created typically Todd Terry-type drums thrashed and guys chanted dated jack track-style nervy jumper, in 121bpm Club Mix, (0-)121-0bpm Spago Mix, 121-0bpm Bonus Beats and Radio Mix (the latter mislabelled in place of the Acappella), selling well.

BOBBY BROWN ‘Don’t Be Cruel (Extended Version)’ (MCA Records MCAT 1310)
Following the success of ‘My Prerogative’ comes a reissue of this LA & Babyface created plaintive swaying here 102⅙bpm lightly juddering jogger, flipped by a (new?) slinkily thudding 105⅔bpm Rapacious Mix and (0-)105½bpm Rapacious Dub. The song, as by now you must surely know, has nothing to do with Elvis Presley!

ALYSON WILLIAMS ‘Sleep Talk’ (Def Jam 654656 6)
Already massive, this Jocelyn Brown-like wailingly introed, ‘Funky Drummer’ break beat backed, Hank Shocklee & Eric Sadler remixed rather Full Force-style extremely soulfully sung lurching 0-106⅔-0bpm hip hop-ish jitterer is flipped on this pressing by the superb Chuck Stanley duetted tempoless acoustic piano backed soaring gospel style ‘I’m So Glad‘ plus here the Oran ‘Juice’ Jones duetted Smokey Robinson-ish lovely 0-83⅓bpm ‘How To Love Again‘, this latter bonus track only being on the CD version of her album — as also is the Chuck Stanley duetted soulful 73¼bpm ‘Make You Mine Tonight‘, which together with the juddery jittering (0-)104bpm ‘Still My No. 1‘ makes up the alternative flip to a separately marketed 12 inch pressing (Def Jam 654656 8), for some reason.

ALYSON WILLIAMS ‘Raw’ (US Def Jam FC 40515)
Her album is just as stunningly sung, most (and the best) of it being downtempo and deeply soulful, with the Moments-reviving lushly swaying 75bpm ‘Not On The Outside (But Inside Strong)’, Blue Magic backed and sweetly squeaky Ted Mills duetted 73⅛bpm ‘We’re Gonna Make It‘, slinkily jogging 82⅓bpm ‘I Need Your Lovin’‘, “la la la la la”-ing pleasant 0- 69⅛bpm ‘Masquerade‘, Philip Ingram supported and Najee saxed tranquil 41-0bpm ‘Just Call My Name‘, gently loving 73bpm ‘I Looked Into Your Eyes‘, superb tempoless gospel style Chuck Stanley duetted ‘I’m So Glad‘, rapping Nikki-D featuring jolting jiggly 107bpm ‘My Love Is So Raw‘, lurching 105⅓bpm ‘On The Rocks‘, juddering (0-)104⅙bpm ‘Still My No. 1‘, and here intro-less, unremixed urgent jittery 107⅙-0bpm ‘Sleep Talk‘. The girl can sing!

KOXO CLUB BAND ‘Paradhouse Remix’ (German zyx records ZYX 5971)
Fantastic Spanish guitar picked and girls muttered excitingly leaping 118¾-119bpm Balearic smash, like a disco combination of the Gipsy Kings’ Bamboleo’ and Raul featuring J. Bonell’s ‘Guitarra’ with bursts of ‘Tequila’ and other party rousers, a retitled elaboration by remixers Bob One, Enzo Persueder and Sunny of the similiar ‘La Maranza‘, featured on the flip in its 118¾-119bpm Extended Spanish Version and 119¼-118¾-119bpm Full Version, thoroughly recommended especially to party orientated jocks.

GRANT AND DEZZ ‘You’re Too Good’ (US Trax Records TX 177)
Excellent soulfully whinneying guys wailed and catchy piano tinkled breezily bounding 0-122bpm gossamer light leaper (122bpm Dezz-A-Dub and Raz Mix, 0-123-0bpm Tone Def Mix versions too), which I have a hunch should go far!

PAUL SIMPSON featuring ADEVA and introducing Carmen Marie ‘Musical Freedom (Free At Last) (Extended Freedom Mix)’ (Cooltempo COOLX 182)
Martin Luther King punctuated weavingly worried jiggly trotting 0-112⅔-113¼-112¾bpm garage chugger, keenly anticipated in this sizzling hot if specialist rambling remake, flipped by last summer’s very different rollingly lurching 114⅚-115bpm Original version plus a samples studded stuttery 114¼bpm Simpson Treatment.

TONI SCOTT ‘That’s How I’m Living’ (Champion CHAMP 12-97)
This particular Toni is a guy, gruffly rap-singing a very useful jittery bubbling 122⅕bpm hip house jumper in the currently hot style (122⅔bpm edit and more acidically twittering 123⅘bpm instrumental too), coupled by the Eric B & Rakim-ish jiggly (0-)112⅙bpm ‘The Chief‘, widely promoed ahead of March 28 release and well worth investigating.

KYM MAZELLE ‘Got To Get You Back (The Groovy Piano Mix)’ (Syncopate 12SY 25)
Marshall Jefferson produced, Ce Ce Rogers penned, Blaze remixed, rather over ramblingly repetitive 120bpm wriggly garage/house shuffler (piano tinkling Groovy Instrumental Mix and percapella Amazella Mix too), well performed and sure to do well within its market but probably not a tight enough song to follow-up her Dr Robert duetted crossover hit.

T B M ‘This Is Your Life (Bass-ment Mix)’ (RCA PT 42696)
The Blow Monkeys, in other words, remixed by Ten City doing a Dr Robert produced/penned/performed “pshta pshta” hi-hatted and twangy bass thumped churningly rolling 119¾bpm house bounder (edit/acappella too), rather good — and probably more commercial than Kym Mazelle’s newie.

COLDCUT featuring Lisa Stansfield ‘People Hold On (Full Length Disco Mix)’ (Ahead Of Our Time HOTPLATE 6)
Matt and Jonathan have found a soulful replacement for Yazz in the shape of Blue Zone’s Lisa, who wails anxiously through a “disco” flavoured insistent surging 122⅓bpm garage/house canterer, mixed by Coldcut with Mark Saunders and flipped by Magic Juan Atkins’s synth chorded more acidic 122bpm Dub Mix (Acappella too), not as gimmicky as some past efforts.

KELVIN PIZARRO ‘Loneliness’ (Champion CHAMP 12-93)
James Bratton produced good falsetto wailed jittery snicketty exciting 120⅔bpm galloper, flipped by a more tightly driving 120⅕bpm Club Mix and 120⅙bpm Instrumental Dub, but also separately released in Kevin Saunderson’s drily tapping, throbbing and thumping 120⅓bpm more episodically spurting Deep House Remix (Champion CHAMP X 12-93), flipped by the original 120⅔bpm A-side mix.

FAST EDDIE ‘Let’s Go’ (US D.J. International Records DJ#696)
Keeping us out of step with the States, this “oh yeah” punctuated stuttery frenetic house (rather than hip house) jumper is in Fast Eddie’s 124½-0bpm Don’t “U” Want Some More and 124⅗bpm My Favorite Mix, Joe Smooth’s 124½-0bpm Let’s Go Joe, plus presumably Tyree’s 124⅔bpm Who Done It? remixes.

FUNTOPIA featuring JIMI POLO ‘Freedom’ (G-Zone/Gee Street GEE T14)
Ten City-ish surging and soaring long episodic 122½-0bpm jittery pulsing throbber washed with synths and sampled brass effects behind Jimi’s impassioned wailing, the lyrics boiling down to “I bring you joy” and “I want to be free” (instrumental flip), white labelled ahead of March 20 commercial release.

JIMI POLO ‘Free Yourself (Club Mix)’ (Urban URBX 36)
Libra Libra co-founding Chicago house pioneer, now London based, making his solo debut with a self-created anxiously nagged repetitive urgent 124⅘bpm deep house flier (piano plonked 0-125½-0bpm Dub Mix too), flipped by the piano and pshta pshta driven 124⅔bpm ramblingly moaned ‘Better Days‘ (in Club and Dub Mixes).

M.C SHAN ‘Juice Crew Law’ (US Cold Chillin’ 0-21159)
Familiar funky samples scratching slithery wriggling (0-)108bpm powerful rap, an instant big seller, inevitably produced and mixed by Marley Marl with the less urgent 103⅚bpm ‘They Used To Do It Out In The Park‘ as flip (dubs too), both hot to trot.

KOOL G RAP & DJ POLO ‘Road To The Riches’ (US Cold Chillin’ 0-21 154)
Marley Marl produced densely tugging one note piano jangled jiggly 99⅔bpm spluttering rap ‘n’ scratch, flipped by the even scratchier jerking 97½bpm ‘Butcher Shop‘ (both refreshingly just in one LP Version mix each, which does save my time and effort!).

STETSASONIC ‘Miami Bass (Vocal Remix)’ (US Tommy Boy TB 924)
Flip to the already UK issued ‘Float On’, this much remixed jittery rolling rap is now funkily based on a 106½bpm mixture of elements from Kool & The Gang’s ‘Funky Stuff and the JBs’ ‘Gimme Some More’, unlike the more urgent ‘The Champ’ and ‘Pump That Bass’ cutting 0-110⅔-0bpm LP Version and heavily smacking 0-112-0bpm Dub (with beat losing edits by Chris Shaw).

JODY WATLEY ‘Real Love (Extended Version)’ (US MCA Records MCA-23928)
André Cymone produced/co-penned, Louil Silas Jr & Jeff Lorber remixed, still vocally Madonna-ish typical but good bouncily lurching (0-)109bpm jiggly bashing chugger (in four mixes), due here at the end of the month and likely to do quite well.

BAM BAM ‘Spend The Night’ (Desire WANTX 15)
Originally atmospheric ethereally moaned twittery swirling deep house hit reissued in its bounding 120⅕bpm Original Mix, but now also very differently remixed in a vibrantly smacking stuttery 122¼bpm Mike Dunn Dub Mix, and pulsing, throbbing and spurting 120⅕-120⅖bpm Bam Bam “House” Remix.

CANDY J ‘Desirable Revenge (The Saga Of Sweet Pussy Pauline)’ (US Hot Mix 5 Inc. Records HMF 115)
Bass burbled frisky sparse 121½bpm galloper, very rudely worded by an abrasively chatting lady who seems obsessed by parts of the body, the sex act and someone’s mother (get the picture?!), in Kenny ‘Jammin’ Jason’s Jack ‘Em Off Version and Pump It Hard Dub, plus Ralphi ‘The Razz’ Rosario’s Candy’s Big Dick Mix.

---

POP DANCE

DISCO 2000 ‘Uptight’ (KLF Communications D2003T), Justified Ancients of MuMu (ie: the JAMMs) produced girl group chanted and rapped brash and breezy bounding (0-)129¾bpm pop revival of Stevie Wonder’s classic, as if Bananarama had joined the Wee Papa Girl Rappers, flipped by the bassily churning more tightly disciplined semi-instrumental house-ier 124bpm ‘Mr Hotty Loves You’;

THE WEE PAPA GIRL RAPPERS ‘Puff The House Down’ (Jive PROMO 10), the girls themselves go “woo”/”yeah” on this Adonis remixed raggedly rapped and chanted bass burbled twittery 119¾bpm hip house-ish but pop orientated chugger (the other two Demolition and Out Of Wind Mixes actually being titled ‘Blow The House Down’), coupled by the funkier samples punctuated 117⅓bpm ‘Ram Showcase‘;

JASON DONOVAN ‘Too Many Broken Hearts (Techno Mix)’ (PWL Records PWLT 32R), supposedly “only for clubs” (which I find hard to believe as it’s bound to be marketed too), this bubbling jittery jumping twittery 0-121⅔bpm Dave Ford remix is flipped by the commercially available Stock Aitken Waterman created pounding vigorous 122bpm Pete Hammond mix of the ‘Neighbours’ star’s current pop hit;

FRONT 242 ‘Never Stop! (V1.1)’ (RRE Records FRNT 2), twittery striding (0-)121½-0bpm instrumental chugger flipped perhaps more strongly by the livelier throbbingly cantering (0-)123¾-0bpm ‘First In, First Out‘, with shouts of “move the body”, Belgian but faster than the usual new beat;

DEBUT DE SOIREE ‘Nuit De Folie (Crazy Night Remix)’ (PWL Continental PW-T 31), French guy growled (in French) cheerfully leaping trite SAW-style European smash from last year, here in a rollicking 121¾bpm Pete Hammond remix (the name of which translates the original title, if you don’t know the lingo!) and 121½bpm Euro Mix;

ADMIROS ‘Come Into My Life Rap’ (Music Man MMPT-12.002, via Pinnacle), European dance label debuting here with a Spanish rapper’s Milli Vanilli/LL Cool J ‘I Need Love’-style 0-93⅙bpm impassioned plea addressed actually to Joyce Sims and set to her old ‘Come Into My Life’ hit’s rhythm.

---

REMIXES

TONY STONE ‘Can’t Say ‘Bye (Swingbeat Mix)‘ (Ensign ENYX 622), Teddy Riley remixed densely jolting and jiggling slow smacking 0-88-89-90⅓-89½bpm attractive blue eyed soul swayer with Marvin Gaye-ish tinges; long after and several releases since its original version was out;

WOMACK & WOMACK ‘Celebrate The World (People Unite Remix)‘ (Fourth & Broadway 12BRX 125), fluidly tapping and bounding though slower and sparser 127½bpm much more subtle Blaze remix with reedy Sixties-style James Booker-type organ (and indeed a “6 T’s Instrumental” flip);

ELLIS, BEGGS & HOWARD ‘Big Bubbles No Troubles (Terminal Mix)‘ (RCA PT 42090), slippery bass burbled busier 100⅙bpm remix of the reissued Austin Howard muttered purposeful jittery jogger.
