May 6, 1989: Kechia Jenkins, Alyson Williams, Sweet Tee, Russell Patterson, Silicon Chip featuring the Turntable Orchestra

BEATS & PIECES

BELIEVE THIS or not, but for some reason BBC-TV is not now showing the Royal Albert Hall filmed Technics World DJ Mixing Championships and Awards show until the end of July! … Circuit featuring Koffi ‘Shelter‘, far from being a scam (which I always doubted), merely turns out to be another creation by Jolley Harris Jolley … Arthur Baker’s twinpack-promoted ‘It’s Your Time‘ will be commercially released here as the first, “a”, record in the pack (with the NYC Vocal/Jazz Version/Peech Dub), the remaining promo mixes not coming out because Lenny Dee & Victor Simonelli of the Brooklyn Funk Essentials have instead created two very different new remixes to follow … Steve Wren’s previously promo-only but vastly superior The Slammer Mix of Lisa M ‘Rock To The Beat’ is now due out commercially thanks to DJ-created demand … Samantha Fox ‘I Wanna Have Some Fun’ has been promoed with, as flip, Kevin Saunderson’s ‘Can You Feel It’ quoting instrumental solidly smacking techno 121bpm Fun House Mix and even more samples-stuffed 0-121⅕-0bpm Alternative Fun Mix, neither due commercially — yet, that is! … Simon Harris’s brightly forceful (0- )121⅓bpm remake of On The House’s ‘(I’ve Got Your) Pleasure Control‘, featuring sassy female vocals by Brooklyn’s Lonnie Gordon, isn’t due until May 29 but is likely to have hit The Club Chart as an initially very limited promo … Urban have picked up The Real Roxanne ‘Roxanne’s On A Roll’, with a Norman Cook remix to follow, and BSBi have picked up Amy Jackson’s ‘Let It Loose’ … Cappella’s initial UK pressings were found to be faulty but, after a delay, perfect ones should now be fully available at last … Big Bang’s Hi-NRG revival of Abba’s ‘Voulez Vous?‘, white labelled and favourably reviewed several months ago, is finally out commercially on a new label launched by the recording studio of the same name, Swanyard Records Limited (SYRTR I, via RCA/BMG) … LA & Babyface created the not surprisingly swingbeat-ish jittery rolling ‘Nothin (That Compares 2 U)‘ — 104⅚bpm on edited seven inch — due here imminently by The Jacksons (minus Michael) … Sharon Dee Clarke’s Beat The Street Mix of ‘Something Special’ emphasises the elements of Sharon Redd’s old juddery throbbing ‘Beat The Street’ beat that one now realises were evident all along in the original ‘Urban House’ album version — to clarify last week’s elision … I think it also needs clarifying that my occasional factual comment that something happens to be selling well in Central London is not always to be taken automatically as a recommendation! … Lyndon T has taken over Secret Promotions now that Simon Gaffe has apparently gone to Desire as label manager … Les Adams’ remake of Maurice ‘This Is Acid’ having just about single-handedly, and belatedly, launched “acid” in the States — surprising though this may seem to people here, where it comes too late in the then dying craze — D. Mob ‘We Call It Acieed’ is also now fast becoming a monster in US clubs! … ‘Life Is A Dance‘, the Chaka Khan remixes album, will be out here at last on May 22 … ‘Where Do We Go?‘, not perhaps their LP’s most obvious single choice, will be the Ten City follow-up … The Time are evidently recording a comeback album on Warner Bros, one side produced by former mentor Prince and the other by former members Jam & Lewis … Quincy Jones’s long awaited next album under his own name will be loaded with superstar guest vocalists … Teddy Riley has produced Heavy D’s upcoming ‘We Got Our Own Thang‘ … Pete Tong joins Steve Wren on Friday (5) at Gravesend’s The Slammer … Glen Gunner (of the Camden Slammer/Electric Ballroom) and Nigel Hayes are at Ealing Broadway’s Haven Stables on Monday (8), to be weekly if response is good, except that the following Monday (15) the same venue has been booked by Justin Smith for a Salsoul/Philly/jazz-funk/boogie Metro night with Carlon and guests … Jerry Dammers and Rhythm Doctor spin “stinky sounds from a farty bass” on Stink Thursdays at Manchester’s Precinct 13, where Love Is The Message Fridays have garage and Seventies/Eighties “disco” … Noel H and the Young Guns spin soul/funk/house/rap/garage Wednesdays at Streatham Zigis … Jeff Thomas of Swansea soul fame has started no dress restriction, solidly black music In Full Effect Thursdays at Merthyr Tydfil Charbonniers … Noel Watson hosts Freestyle 90 Thursdays at London’s Camden Palace … I had taken ambitious jockette Kirsty B for an upmarket Chinese celebration birthday dinner at Hampstead’s ZenW3 last Tuesday when in walked George Michael and his Wham! partner Andrew Ridgeley to sit down opposite us, then out walked Mahesh Bajaj, and on leaving we found dining downstairs Pete Tong, Johnny Walker and Clare Shave — does that qualify for Babble?! … James Brown played a “Sixties singer” called Lou De Long in last week’s ludicrously far fetched episode of ‘Miami Vice’, his own old ‘I Got You (I Feel Good)’ being credited to his fictional character but packaged in its original album sleeve with just his name changed! … M-D-Emm member Dave Lee recently discovered by chance that the nagging “wheeee” noise from Nitro Deluxe’s old ‘The Brutal House’ was actually sampled from Loleatta Holloway’s ‘Love Sensation’ … MC Jammy Hammy once again provides a “male sample” on the upcoming, June released, LA Mix single, ‘Get Loose’ … WOOO! YEAH!

HOT VINYL

KECHIA JENKINS ‘Still Waiting’ (US Profile PRO-7250)
Fly Guys-produced superb, powerfully wailed, bass-snapped and drums-smacked timelessly trotting strider with some sneaky quotes from ‘Ring My Bell’, in 115⅕-115bpm Fly Guy Mix, 115⅕bpm Fly Guy Dub, jerkily bounding 116⅔bpm Kechia’s House and Piano Beats, and 116⅗-116⅔-0bpm Damn, That Girl Can Sing Dub versions, due soon to launch at last the US label in this country and sure to be huge.

ALYSON WILLIAMS featuring Nikki-D ‘My Love Is So Raw (Extended Club Mix)’ (Def Jam 654898 6)
Her album’s standout dancer in a UK remix by Dave Dorrell & CJ Mackintosh of M|A|R|R|S, this terrific jittery jerky 0-106½-0bpm go go-hip hop-swingbeat fusion is wailingly worried by Alyson with bursts of rap by Nikki-D, and flipped by the Ted Mills of Blue Magic duetted 0-73bpm traditional squeaky sweet soul ‘We’re Gonna Make It‘, plus a previously unreleased rather good (and vocally accurate) 90⅚bpm swingbeat remake of Smokey Robinson & The Miracles’ ‘I Second That Emotion‘, worth checking.

SWEET TEE ‘Let’s Dance’ (US Profile PRO-7246)
Hurby Luv Bug and the Invincibles-produced but Fast Eddie-remixed Cookie Crew-ish bumpily bubbling subdued hip house, an instant-import hit, the JB backing samples being varied for the two sides’ different 118⅔bpm Hip House and 114⅖bpm Hip Hop mixes (each with an instrumental too).

RUSSELL PATTERSON ‘The Time Is Right’ (US Jump Street JS-1023)
Formerly of Black Ivory, Russell’s right in the current soul style with his strong if derivative naggingly repetitive (0-)105⅚-0bpm tuggingly tripping jogger (in four mixes plus acappella), swingbeat but without much of that clichéd style’s essential hippity hoppity jiggle.

SILICON CHIP featuring the Turntable Orchestra ‘Stay (Slamming Mix)’ (BPM Records BP 12006)
Hippie Torrales mumbled, Maxeen wailed and Paul Scott keyboarded excellent coolly pulsing and pattering (0-)119⅔-120bpm homegrown garage loper, with a sparse stuttery (0-)119⅔-119¾bpm dub Mix and Master ‘The Beatcreator’ Tee’s smoothly bounding janglier 119¾bpm Street Soul Mix (only featuring Maxeen), plus the bonus urgent (0-)125½bpm ‘Just A Groove‘.

BANG ‘You’re The One (The Journey)’ (RCA BANG T1)
Packing a massively whomping solid beat, this Magic Juan Atkins mixed bounding thudder is basically instrumental with just some bursts of ethereal chanting by the two New York girls who apparently comprise the group, the promo’s two sides being labelled as 120BPM and 122BPM to differentiate between the mixes, which are in fact 119⅘bpm and 122⅕bpm!

TOTAL SCIENCE ‘Just A Little Bit (Club Vocal)’ (Jumpin’ & Pumpin’ 12TOT 1)
Bronx recorded hi-hat hustled mournfully het-up male group groaned and wailed brightly scurrying (0-)119¾-0bpm deep house bounder, flipped by 119¾bpm keyboarded Classical and bassily percussive Our House Mixes, creating quite a buzz.

FIFTH of HEAVEN ‘Just A Little More’ (MixOut Records 12F.O.H. 1)
Salford recorded lovely richly resonant classic Loose Ends 52nd Street-style 87⅔bpm slow tranquil sultry Denise Johnson wailed street soul swayer, with an alternative 87⅚-87⅔bpm Surrender Mix flip, selling fast to its market.

ZUSHII ‘There Ain’t Enough Love’ (First Base Records FE 3005)
Another old fashioned but still obviously in demand Loose Ends-style delicately tapping and sparsely jittering sweet girl wailed and jazzy sax squealed pleasant sinuous street slowie, in three 92⅚-0bpm mixes, also selling fast.

QUEEN LATIFAH ‘Dance For Me’ (Gee Street Recordings GEE T16)
DJ Mark The 45 King produced UK debut release by New Jersey’s highly touted plaintively rapping 19 years old princess of the posse, Queen Latifah, with this Sly & The Family Stone ‘Dance To The Music’ based 116-116½-116bpm funkily jiggling burbler, its 115¼bpm instrumental, the sinuously sombre 81⅐bpm ‘Inside Out‘ and tugging wordy 91 bpm ‘Wrath Of My Madness‘, not due fully until May 22 but doubtless too hot to hold.

NOMAD featuring Daddae Harvey ‘The Ragamuffin Number’ (RUMAT 2)
Inevitably, The 45 King’s ‘The 900 Number’ break beat loop has now been appropriated and adapted to a 0-106⅚bpm reggae rap on a mysterious white label, flipped by two more drily drummed 116bpm and 113⅓bpm break beat instrumental loops, large for those who can find it!

ROBERTA FLACK ‘Uh-Uh Ooh-Ooh Look Out (Here It Comes)’ (US Atlantic 0-86453)
Totally remixed to give it a commercial edge for the current marketplace, what began as a smoothly flowing album track is now given jerky 119bpm impetus by Arthur Baker’s Dance Mix and dub, and a much more exciting 119⅗bpm stuttery percussive B-side drive by Steve Hurley’s House Mix, the one that’ll make it hit here (not that it’s a Roberta Flack record any more!).

THE STYLE COUNCIL featuring Brian J. Powell ‘Everybody’s On The Run’ (Polydor LHXS 1)
House having given them a broader base for crossover success, here’s a gruffly wailed mournfully soulful 121¾bpm nagger in Freddy Bastone’s cantering deep house A-side mix or Norman Jay’s more percussively jittering garage mix on the flip (plus an 86⅚bpm 89 Mix Extended Version of Paul Weller’s previous soul crossover, ‘Long Hot Summer’).

VOODOO DOLL ‘Women Beat Their Men’ (US Breaking Bones Records BBR-200)
The ever busy Frankie “Bones”, Tommy Musto and Lenny Dee have been particularly opportunistic creating this blatant and very useful A Guy Called Gerald ‘Voodoo Ray’ meets Dominatrix ‘The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight’ on an acid-trip 122bpm mix-up, in three mixes.

RAZETTE ‘Ready 4 Love’ (US Da SHEET Records DASR 7)
Lamya, a girl, sings this Raze ‘Break 4 Love’ answering breathily cooed and panted trotting tripper, in 119⅖-0bpm Radio, 119⅖-119⅕bpm In Hear, 119⅕-119⅖-119⅕bpm Mean Gene Edit, and “je t’adore” muttering 120-119⅔-0bpm French Tickler mixes. Not surprisingly, Champion will be releasing this here, as they did Raze.

JOYCE ‘FENDERELLA’ IRBY ‘Mr. D.J. (Extended Version)’ (Motown ZT 42772)
Klymaxx’s now solo singer gets rapping help from spluttering and spitting Doug E. Fresh on this quite catchy jerkily juddering jagged 0-110(-0)bpm hip hop/swingbeat jiggler (Radio Edit and 0-110bpm Instrumental too), hot on promo but not necessarily fully available yet. She also on import has a different styles spanning (to make sure something clicks?) debut album, ‘Maximum Thrust’ (US Motown MOT-6267), with other guests besides Mr Fresh.

SILVER BULLET ‘Bring Forth The Guillotine (Darkside Mix)’ (Tam Tam TTT 008, via Savage Records)
Werewolf scenario setting ‘Thriller’-ishly started but then funky samples driven 119⅘-0bpm jiggly jumping fierce raggamuffin rap by the Triple Element guy (instrumental DJ Beats flip), one indistinct though doubtless innocent line being likely to give radio jocks heart failure — “or what fate“?!

PUBLIC ENEMY ‘Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos (Radio Version)’ (US Def Jam 44-68216)
Now suddenly dated seeming monotonous wordy (0-)91bpm tugging slow rap (supposedly a radio version yet really with a “motherf**ker” — beware!), coupled by its short (0-)90bpm instrumental, the drumkit rumbled jerky shouting 104⅓bpm ‘Too Much Posse‘, previously unreleased furry “static” covered jittering 0-106⅓-0bpm ‘B-Side Wins Again‘, and — the single’s possible standout — ‘Shaft’ and other funky stuff sampling jiggly surging 0-116bpm ‘Caught, Can We Get A Witness (Pre Black Steel Ballistic Felony Dub)‘.

COLDCUT ‘What’s That Noise?’ (Ahead Of Our Time CCUT LP)
Tracks crammed but disappointingly bitty and inessential under-produced album, with (their next single) the answering machines sampling jittery bleeping (0-)110⅕bpm ‘My Telephone’, percussively racing acidic 126⅕bpm ‘No Connection‘, funk sampling (0-)112bpm ‘Fat (Party & Bullshit)‘, ‘Big World Café’ theme adapting episodic bright (0-)117⅕-0bpm ‘What’s That Noise?‘, freaky pop house (0-)121⅕-0bpm ‘(I’m) In Deep‘, current infectious 122⅗bpm ‘People Hold On’, old brassily lurching (0-)107⅓bpm ‘Stop This Crazy Thing’, acidically twittering (0-)117½bpm ‘Doctorin’ The House (Say R Mix)’, short jittery 116⅓-00bpm ‘Theme From “Reportage”‘, scrappily burbling (0-)112⅘-0bpm ‘Which Doctor?‘, drearily meandering (0-)98⅚-0bpm ‘Smoke 1‘, while on a separate bonus 12 inch are the bass and drums thundered scratchy 0-104-0bpm ‘Beats & Pieces (Mo Bass Remix)‘, percussively cantering instrumental 122bpm ‘Trak 22’, drily percussive 107⅔3-0bpm ‘Stop This Crazy Thing (Hedmaster Mix)‘ and basic break beat 100bpm ‘Maker Brake‘, (0-)105bpm ‘Greedy’s Back’, 99bpm ‘Drawmasters Squeeze’. As normally a booster of all their stuff, I might have been more positive about this had they namechecked me along with all the hundreds who’ve also apparently helped them!

DIANA ROSS ‘Workin’ Overtime (Extended Version)’ (US Motown MOT-4639)
Produced and co-penned by Nile Rodgers but remixed by Timmy Regisford with additional overdubs by Blaze, this ultra juddery jolting 105⅓-105⅙bpm swingbeat jiggler is obviously a concerted attempt to return Motown’s new shareholder to street credibility — with a cymbal schlurped and “strings” scraped lurching shrill (0-)106⅓-106⅙bpm so-called House Mix too (and 0-105bpm 7″ Version). While the result is brutally efficient rather than loveable, it’ll probably succeed (UK release is apparently imminent).

“POWER HOUSE” ‘It’s Power House Brooklyn Style’ (US Nugroove NG-016)
Masters At Work created nine track 12 inch of starkly basic house instrumentals, with the maddeningly familiar (‘Space Bass’?) (0-)127½bpm ‘Outer Space’, reedy organ chorded (0-)125bpm ‘Yeah C’Mon’, “we gonna do a song that you heard before” introed (which does at least wittily edit the more common “that you never heard” version!) jaunty (0-)125½bpm ‘Los Chicanos’, “I need a little bit” girls sampling 126bpm ‘A Little Bit‘, twittery 126bpm ‘We’re Gonna Move‘, dull looping 94⅔bpm ‘Feel It Baby’, simple bass and drums powered monotonous 124bpm ‘The Bassline‘, 124bpm ‘My Mission’, and 125bpm ‘It’s Cocaine‘.

THE FUNKY WORM ‘u + me = love (12″ version)’ (FON/WEA FON19T)
Norman Whitfield’s 1976 Undisputed Truth oldie has been revived in a FON Force produced smoothly burbling 121⅚-0bpm remake with Yazz-ish cooing by Julie Stewart, Brass Construction-ish instrumental drive and (on the A-side) vocal support by Ten City, who actually remixed the even more smoothly pulsing 121⅚bpm flip (jazzier organ led 121⅚bpm instrumental too).

POP DANCE

TOM JONES ‘Move Closer (Extended Version)’ (Jive JIVE T 203), Barry J Eastmond & Timmy Allen produced terrific slinky 94bpm remake of Phyllis Nelson’s classic smoocher, causing quite a stir even in soul circles;

DONNA SUMMER ‘I Don’t Wanna Get Hurt’ (WEA U7567T), another deceptively facile seeming SAW created cheerfully cantering (0-)119¾-0bpm catchy singalong, with an acappella outro;

ASWAD ‘Beauty’s Only Skin Deep (12″ Mix)’ (Mango 12NING 105), finally sent too late for the last Pop Dance roundup and now sadly slipping fast, this excellent 131½bpm non-reggae remake of the Temptations’ 1966 classic fingersnapper stays extremely faithful to the original’s soulful harmonies, vocal inflections and brassy surges although the arrangement is much more sparely opened out — there also now being a slightly reggaefied (0-)132bpm backbeating Skindeep Mix (Mango MANX 105) with a “May I see your Driver’s licence please?” intro;

WENDY & LISA ‘Lolly Lolly (According To Prince)’ (Virgin WL 1), Prince mixed jerkily lurching and intensifying sweetly whispered and catchy “singing lolly lolly” chanted 91⅚bpm thumping slinky jiggler (more starkly rumbling dubwise 0-92bpm Random Dance Mix too);

NATALIE COLE ‘Miss You Like Crazy’ (Manhattan 12MT 63), Michael Masser produced dead slow starting 0-32½- 65⅓bpm attractive radio ballad getting some dancefloor play too, flipped by the breezier jiggly tumbling 93bpm ‘Good To Be Back‘ and Shep Pettibone remixed jerkily jittering Latin flavoured 114⅔bpm ‘Urge To Merge (12″ Vocal Mix)‘;

NENEH CHERRY ‘Manchild (The Old School Mix)’ (Circa Records YRT30), possibly to prove haunting in time although rather dreary on first hearing, sombre slow rapped and sung jiggly undulating 86⅚bpm roller (by coincidence the exact same speed as the Style Council’s ‘Long Hot Summer’, which I BPM-ed just before this!);

ALIEN SEX FIEND ‘Haunted House’ (Anagram 12 ANA 46, via Cherry Red/Pinnacle), Youth remixed and DJ Cesare scratched mainly instrumental simple lurching 119¾-119⅔bpm backbeater droningly building through rock guitar and chanting to even some Lyn Collins “wooo-yeah” samples;

ERIC AND THE GOOD FEELING ‘Good Good Feeling (Orbital Mix)’ (Equinox 12 EON 1), girls supported hoarsely gurgling S’Xpress ‘Hey Music Lover’ vocalist with a ‘Theme From S-Express’ishly started but then throbbingly locomoting 0-118bpm simple chugger;

JUDSON SPENCE ‘If You Don’t Like It (Extended – Cool Vocal)’ (Atlantic A8950T), Justin Strauss remixed hi-hat hustled slightly garage-ish lightly growled 118⅔-0bpm blue-eyed jiggler, with a Sixties organ and brass augmented throbbing 117⅔bpm R&B Vocal and jerkier twittering 118¼bpm Acid Dub.

CHERRELLE ‘Affair (Steamy Affair Mix)’ (Tabu 654673 8)
Keith Cohen remixed originally Janet Jackson-inspired but now more Paula Abdul-like (without a boinng or ping!) dull jolting (0-)112⅕-0bpm thudder with a jerkier (0-)112⅕bpm Street Dub (Hip Hop Mix) plus the older unattractively lurching 115½bpm ‘New Love’ —what a wasted talent!

DAZZLE ‘I Don’t Want Your Love’ (Jam Today 12CHIL-11, via Jet Star)
Staccato soul sisters chanted jerky 115¾bpm street soul lurcher (instrumental too), trying for the garage market but possibly not fully available yet, and with short lived promo reaction anyway.

REMIXES

INNER CITY ‘Ain’t Nobody Better (Groove Corporation Remix)‘ (10 Records TENR 252), as anticipated last week, here are the import’s wrigglier flutteringly twittery 119¼-0bpm mix and even better chinking, twiddling and stuttering instrumental (0-)119⅕-0bpm Groove Corporation Manic Remix, plus its sparse smacking powerfully wailed 119½bpm Master Reese Bass-Apella Mix (but not the strong Duane Bradley Awesome Mix, so the US pressing with six mixes remains by far the best value for late buyers!);

JOMANDA ‘Make My Body Rock (Feel It) (Salsa Rhythm Mix)‘ (RCA PT 42750R), good nagging jerkily chorded semi-instrumental 122⅗-0bpm all new remix overdubbed by Paul Scott, flipped by a tapping and wailing percussapella-type 122⅔bpm Break Down Mix;

BIZARRE INC. ‘It’s Time To Get Funky (Atmosphere Mix)‘ (Blue Chip ‘R&B’ BLUE C 14R, via The Cartel), excitingly surging 127¾bpm Slick D remix of the ‘Dancing In Outer Space’ sampling house instrumental, flipped by the original (0-)127¾bpm Rockford Illinois Mix and an Atmosfear-less more chunkily lurching 122¾bpm Smokin’ Not Jokin’ Mix.
