June 3, 1989: Twin Hype, Joyce Sims, Kechia Jenkins, Sweet Tee, Monie Love

BEATS & PIECES

PROFILE RECORDS was launched in the UK with a formal cocktail party for the business at the faintly incongruous and very proper Naval and Military Club (Piccadilly’s famous “In and Out”) — less incongruous when one discovers that the label’s Paul Oakenfold was previously employed as a French chef there, ten years ago … Profile’s UK pressings turned out to have the exact same Beats Per Minute as the import versions, but that couldn’t be taken for granted last week … Greg Edwards has revived his old ‘Soul Spectrum’ show, not now on Capital Radio but on Kent ILR station Invicta’s split frequency AM service … Graham Gold, despite joining the increasingly pessimistic KISS-fm bid for London’s FM incremental licence, looks like getting a Friday night general music show on Chiltern Radio in the meantime … BBC-2 will now be screening merely a 30 minute heavily edited version of the Royal Albert Hall Technics World DJ Mixing Championships final — with barely a glimpse of any DJs, no awards presentations, and mainly the live star performers — on Sunday, July 30 (which proves it doesn’t do to trust what TV people say) … Caroline Pead has moved from A&R to take over Linda Rogers’ old role as club plugger at Phonogram — who appear to have dropped both Derek B and Krush from their roster, but have licensed the Rapsonic label from The Dance Yard Recording Corporation (first release to be Top Billin’s ‘Set It Off’, based indeed on the Harlequin Four’s, amongst others) … BCM Records owner Brian Carter is planning a massive dance music three-dayer in Berlin for September (Sun/Mon/Tuesday 17/18/19, I think), to shake up Germany’s dance market with the likes of De La Soul and many more top stars — fuller details later, but already lots of Londoners are getting excited at the prospect! Bud Nijjar and Future Shock Promotions (01-533 3840) are running a club trip to Madrid with Jazzy M, Norman Jay, Nick Halkes and other guest DJs on June 15-18, for £196 all in … Voltalight*Soundspin International Ltd need two pro DJs for both South London’s Bon Bonne and a club in Corfu, the Greek gig with all expenses paid (call Philip Dinnis on 0836 372630) … Marie Birch, recovering from a blood disorder, is just about back in action updating her DJ mailing list at Sound Promotions, 106 Wembley Park Drive, Wembley, Middlesex (01-861 0578), the same address as for the Everton Webb shared PA’s Unlimited … New Music Seminar registrants and Marriott Marquis hotel guests alone will be allowed into the revolving bar this year, following my recommendation that this is where New York visitors can meet everyone without having actually to pay for the Seminar — bad news, sorry! … Chaka Khan may not now be at the November Prestatyn weekender, it’s Guy and Teddy Riley who are being mentioned instead! … MC Jammy Hammy provides the pivotal “male sample” for the now promoed LA Mix featuring Jazzi P ‘Get Loose’ (Breakout USAT 659, not due fully until the end of June), and Atmosfear ‘Dancing In Outer Space’ break beat based (with permission) frantically wordy Jazzi Pauline rapped hip house flier in 126⅘bpm Not For Long Mix, Mike Stevens saxed 0-127-0bpm Atmospheric Sax Dub, and Chad Jackson scratched alternative less frenetic 0-127bpm Rock To The Hardcore Mix versions — Atmosfear appears to always to have been an anthem for rollerskaters, so it was a lucky coincidence that the video is set in a roller disco! … Princess, having extricated herself from a fruitless Polydor contract, returns at the end of June on her brother’s new Touchtown label warbling much as before although with less strong a song the repetitive judderingly throbbing and jangling breezy 120bpm ‘Lover Don’t Go!‘ … Jaki Graham returns after almost as long a hiatus on June 12 with the Paula Abdul-ish very American style jittery chugging ‘From Now On‘, but the initially promoed jerkily thudding 97⅙bpm Here & Now Mix by Shep Pettibone is not the commercial version … London Boys’ follow-up on June 12 is the more stolidly tempoed though similarly textured very European 0-119⅖bpm ‘London Nights‘ … Blacksmith ‘Get Back To Love’ isn’t actually out fully now until June 26, and has an even better swingbeat mix to follow (the one to wait for) … Miles Jaye’s album ‘Irresistible’ is out here now (Fourth & Broadway BRLP 531) … Norman Cook ‘Blame It On The Bassline’ features rapper MC Wildski, on the Go Beat label rather than Go! Discs … Soul II Soul’s newie turns out (on seven inch at least) to have the full title ‘Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)’ … de/Construction Records are releasing Casanovas Revenge ‘Let’s Work‘ here … NWA’s excellent if controversial ‘Straight Outta Compton’ rap album will finally be out here on BCM Records, with ‘Express Yourself‘ as a single … City Beat Records are releasing here the brilliant Koxo Club Band ‘Paradhouse Remix‘ … S’Express’s next single will be the decidedly weird ‘Mantra For A State Of Mind‘, not necessarily a floor filler! … UK promos which might start hitting before full release next week include the Barry Upton produced, Peter Slaghuis mixed, cornily dated volume pumping pop-house Krazy House ‘Krazy House‘ (Supreme), and Australian girl’s reworded Commodores funk oldie reviving Kate Ceberano ‘Young Boys Are My Weakness‘ (London) … Lonnie Gordon, guest vocalist on Simon Harris’s newie, is recording in her own right for Supreme Records … Music Of Life recorded and are issuing as a live album the ‘Hustlers’ Convention‘ rap party they held at the Cafe de Paris following the DJ Convention in March, featuring jams by Daddy Freddy, DJ Mark The 45 King, MC Duke, Latifah, Demon Boyz, Merlin, and Asher D … BMG’s “disconcerting” Eddie Gordon claims that Motown’s upcoming soundtrack album from Spike Lee’s new ‘Do The Right Thing’ movie is the best black soundtrack since ‘Shaft’ — well, the latter was a fully composed orchestral score whereas the new one is merely a compilation album, but, having driven around sun drenched East Kent listening to it for several days, I can confirm it is an excellent compilation with strong newies by Public Enemy (their next single!), Teddy Riley featuring Guy, and EU, plus Perri, Take 6, Ruben Blades, Al Jarreau and more … Theo Loyla’s cottage near Herne Bay, with a distant view of the Reculver towers across buttercups, daisies and grazing ponies, is for sale — contact Seekers. the no commission esate agents, on 0227-367225 … Colchester mixing DJ Conan plus Ben Howard, Mark Smith and DJ ‘H’ have an upfront Groove this Friday (2) at Sudbury’s Tudor Youth Centre — the thought of an upfront Tudor youth is quite a mental image! … I’m outta here — BUT NOT FOR LONG!

HOT VINYL

TWIN HYPE ‘Do It To The Crowd’ (US Profile PRO-7255)
Instantly massive, this ‘Monkees Theme’ introed then (following some unbroadcastable comments!) ‘Stone Fox Chase’ and many other scurrying and scratching Todd Terry-type samples 0-114⅘bpm rap jiggler (with intro-less Instrumental and Bonus Beats flip) is already scheduled for June 19 release here, and was in fact reviewed off a UK pressing (Profile PROFT 255, via Pinnacle). Hot to trot!

JOYCE SIMS ‘Looking For A Love (Club Mix)’ (ffrr FX 109)
A haunting “grower” as anticipated, this self-penned/arranged/co-produced naggingly attractive flute tootled lightly Latin-style 109⅔-109¾bpm pattering and jiggling swayer (109¾bpm Instrumental and 109⅔bpm Radio Version flip) has been worth the wait, very pleasant – and a probable smash?

KECHIA JENKINS ‘Still Waiting’ (Profile PROFT 250, via Pinnacle)
Originally seen by many as the logical “garage” successor to Chanelle and Adeva, although in the event never quite that big while on import, this now UK issued (and label launching) excellent powerfully wailed timelessly trotting bass snapped and drums smacked strider — with some sneaky quotes from ‘Ring My Bell’! — could still end up that hot, here in just its 115⅕-115bpm Fly Guy Mix, 116⅗-116⅔-0bpm, Damn, That Girl Can Sing Dub, and jerkily bounding 116⅔-0bpm Kechia’s House versions.

SWEET TEE ‘Let’s Dance’ (Profile PROFT 246, via Pinnacle)
Already hot on import, this Fast Eddie remixed Cookie Crew-ish jaunty though subdued hip house bubbler, with its James Brown backing samples varied for the two different sides’ 118⅔bpm Hip House and harder 114⅖bpm Hip Hop mixes (both with instrumentals too), is the other spearheading release for the UK label launch.

VOODOO DOLL ‘Women Beat Their Men (Voodoo Village Club Mix)’ (Champion CHAMP 12-208))
Fearlessly rush released here despite blatantly combining elements of A Guy Called Gerald ‘Voodoo Ray’ with Dominatrix ‘The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight’ on an acid trip, this Frankie “Bones”, Tommy Musto and Lenny Dee creation in three 121⅗bpm mixes is obviously immensely useful, as its fast chart rise on import showed.

MONIE LOVE ‘Grandpa’s Party (12″ Music Mix)’ (Cooltempo COOLX 184)
Following the confident young rapper’s debut chart-topper, this “Grandpa” Afrika Bambaataa dedicated (how does he like that?!) speedily churning and chattering 125bpm hip house galloper, produced by Dancin’ Danny D with Richie Fermie of Adrenalin MOD, is again a sure fire floor filler except that by being in an increasingly over subscribed musical style it might not get quite as high as last winter’s ‘I Can Do This’ — however, conversely, with its corny chorus it stands every chance of being a bigger pure pop hit (how does she like that?!). The flip’s brightly percolating 12″ Beat Mix is again rather tougher though still the same speed.

MILES JAYE ‘Heaven (Celestial Club Mix)’ (Fourth & Broadway 12BRW 133)
Instead of his US 12 inch, ‘Objective’, we get this far better brand new Frankie Knuckles and David Morales remixed snappy percussion and bass jiggled 100⅔-100⅚bpm mellow throatily romantic though becoming pent-up soulful jogger, ending up in swingbeat style despite its tapping distinctive start easing into a calmer vocal opening half before the arrangement excitingly intensifies (percussively lurching 0-100⅔bpm Bonus Beats, and totally different pleasantly swaying 101⅓bpm Ed’s Edit versions too). Unlike the less powerful original album treatment, this now does stand a chance of becoming a modern soul anthem.

THE DYNAMIC DUO ‘In The Pocket’ (US Nugroove NG-020)
Crown Heights Affair “dada-dada, dip dip dip” scat, Sylvester ‘You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)’ quotes and many other funkily chugging break beats weaving useful nervy percussion — on what sounds sometimes suspiciously like Rolf Harris’s “wobble board”! — driven instrumental thrasher, in 0-120⅘-0bpm Hip House, 120⅗-0bpm Hip Hop and 120⅘-0bpm Hip House Dub mixes.

KING SUN ‘On The Club Tip’ (US Zakia PRO-7254)
Rather pointless long moody slow starting but then really fiercely churning and scratching (0-)116bpm strong husky rap jiggler (Instrumental and 116bpm Bonus Beats too), not exactly innovative but likely to be big as very good — it’s another due for June 19 release here, and reviewed off a UK pressing (Profile PROFT 254, via Pinnacle).

KOOL MOE DEE ‘They Want Money (Extended Version)’ (Jive JIVE T 207)
Disappointingly not as widely raved over as I originally thought it would be, this Teddy Riley co-created terrific bass rumbled brassy (0-)106⅚bpm rap jiggler sounds like a James Brown funk groove even if it isn’t one (entirely), with a Dub Version plus the dated organ chorded wordier 87⅞bpm ‘Get The Picture (LP Version)‘.

THE LINCOLN BOYS ‘Check It Out’ (US Dance Mania DM 020)
Glen, Hoff, Bob and Hank Lincoln plus Neil Howard are produced by Bad Boy Bill, Terry Housemaster Baldwin and Frankie Hollywood Rodriguez for this quite amusingly worded dated Todd Terry-type acidic samples woven twittery jittery episodic smacking canterer from Chicago in (0-)121⅘-121⅗-122-121⅘-121⅗-122-0bpm Bad Boy, (0-)121⅚-122-121⅚-0bpm Sample and 122-121⅚bpm 99 St. Mixes, flipped by the similarly familiar and possibly stronger simple derivative though effective jangly chanting ‘Get Up Get Down’ in 0- 125⅕bpm House and 125⅕-0bpm 99 St. Piano Mixes.

PRESSURE POINT ‘Dreaming’ (Viceroy Records 12 VICE 2)
PP Arnold sultrily wails this impatiently anticipated and now finally available superb classy jazz-funk style shuffling soul swayer, with burbling bass and brassy accents, a bit specialist maybe but set to explode on the serious club scene in its (0-)105⅙bpm Easy Dreaming Mix, mellower 105½bpm 7″ Radio Mix and Instrumental, and totally different more sparsely trotting 110bpm Jon Williams Mix. Thoroughly recommended to all for whom the music matters.

ALTON ‘WOKIE’ STEWART ‘All Our Love’ (US Epic/Jump Street FE 45210)
Allen George & Fred McFarlane produced vocally very strong though otherwise derivative somewhat dated “D” Train-type soul album, all quite satisfying even so, with the really “D” Train-style 116¾-117bpm ‘You’re The One’, jaunty go go-ish 0-108⅙-0bpm ‘How You Livin’‘, steadily bashing swingbeat 104⅔bpm ‘She’s So Cold‘, soulfully rolling 107⅔bpm ‘This Is It‘, muttering started mellow swaying 98⅔bpm ‘All Our Love‘, sensuously smoochy Marvin Gaye-style 75½bpm ‘Sexy Love’, mumbling “lurve” scenario setting Isleys-ish 61½bpm ‘This Song Is For You’, ‘My Prerogative’-type 114⅓-0bpm ‘Headache’, and urgently churning 115⅓bpm ‘Reflections’.

LYNCH ‘Magic Spell’ (US Capitol V-15462)
Bobby Glover ‘Your Spell’ rewriting, Roger Troutman produced, teasingly started then soulful high pitched harmonies washed typically rolling pleasant guy sung modern soul jogger full of classy touches, in 103⅔bpm Hocus Pocus Mix, (0-)103⅓bpm Hocus Pocus Instrumental, and 104⅓bpm 7″ Trance versions.

MR MONDAY ‘Keep On’ (Greedy Beat Records 12 GREED 7, via Revolver)
“Don’t stop, don’t stop, keep on” muttered and breezy bass burbled simple solidly pushing 117½bpm jiggly instrumental disco chugger, really locomoting, flipped by its 117⅗bpm Dub and title repeating ‘Don’t Stop’ version, well worth checking.

KINGS OF PRESSURE ‘Slang Teacher’ (US Next Plateau Records Inc PL1017)
Rather better than was repeatedly rumoured when first about, and now in fact with several tracks being returned in DJs’ charts, this drily declamatory rap album has the Kool & The Gang “get down get down” punctuated wordily rolling 0-102⅙bpm ‘Brains Unchained’, graveyard visiting subtly sinister 0-108⅙bpm ‘Tales From The Darkside‘, good funkily lurching 108½bpm ‘So Simple‘, urgent jiggly fast talking 0-106⅙-0bpm ‘Slang Teacher‘, sweet Stylistics based LL Cool J-like mushy talking 76¾bpm ‘Call Me On The Telephone‘, staccato funky 105bpm ‘Who’s Gonna Take The Bait‘, jerkily convoluted 108⅙bpm ‘Nozy Bodies‘, nervy thin 112⅕bpm ‘Rappers Have Feelings‘, fragmentary short throwaway (but both running on into the following track) 0- 96⅓bpm ‘Gator Posse’ and 83bpm ‘Smooth As A Violin’. That said, don’t get the impression it’s essential!

KIARA ‘Every Little Time’ (Arista KA 1 & 2)
Promoed as a twinpack with confusing label credits listing Arthur Baker, the Brooklyn Funk Essentials and Kiara themselves as remixers, but with no indication of which tracks, this male duo’s Milli Vanilli-ish (though much less commercial) tuggingly lurching hip hop-cum-swingbeat jiggler gets different emphasis shifts in the 94⅓-0bpm Hip Hop and 7″ Edit, 94⅓bpm New York, 0-94⅓-94½-0bpm New York Jammin’ Beat, 0-94-94⅙bpm Detroit and (actually shorter!) Detroit Extended versions.

ROCKIE ROBBINS ‘Serious (Club Mix)’ (Respect PECT 1, via First Strike/PRT)
Ralph Tee’s new label is launched on June 19 by this Jon Williams and Dizzie Dee remixed anxiously insistent 117⅗-0bpm jittery canterer overlaid by acidic twitters and garage keyboards to give it UK trend appeal, flipped by the Minneapolis recorded original more urgently striding 117⅕bpm Soul Mix (plus the slushy 55¼bpm ‘Keep A Light On’).

POPPA RON LOVE ‘I’m A Girl Watcher’ (US Def Jam 44 68783)
Oldies double-sider, with this O’Kaysions 1968 US hit adapting reggae accented jaunty but slow 90⅔-90½-0bpm ragamuffin rap, from an album called ‘Def Jam Classics Vol. 1‘, as is the flip’s better known RUSSELL RUSH AND JAZZY JAY ‘Cold Chillin’ In The Spot‘, in which artistes’ manager Russell shouts amusingly extemporised comments to raggedly scratched and jammed 0-98⅓-98-98⅓bpm beats.

THE JAMES TAYLOR QUARTET ‘Breakout’ (Urban URBX 38)
Late Sixties-style 112¼-111½-111-110¾-111½bpm brass and organ funk instrumental, nothing exceptional if put in the context of others of the vintage it emulates although bright sounding in comparison with today’s stuff, on a four-tracker coupled by out and out jazz.

REMIXES

KELLY CHARLES ‘You’re The One (Remix)‘ (Champion CHAMP X12-100), far better really powerful chunkily trotting 121⅗bpm solid new garage treatment, still not due until June 12 but already getting much more DJ support than the now B-side relegated jerkily weaving 121¾bpm original mix (called here the Dub Club Mix);

PROJECTION ‘Lovestruck (Streetfunk Style)‘ (Jam Today 12 CNIL 13, via JetStar), Paul Anderson & Garry Hughes remixed funky drummer pattered, booming bass burbled, vamping organ chorded, synthetic strings and brass accented good girls harmonised and worried rumbling 109⅓bpm street soul shuffler (bridging between continuous Parts 1 & 2), flipped by the original Elite mix of the joltingly tapping sweeter 108bpm ‘Turn Your Love (Right Around)’;

CORPORATION OF ONE with MYSTIQUE ‘The Real Life’ (US Smokin’ TAI 126618), the Simple Minds/Queen combining recent UK released dance hit now remixed on import for a second time, hip house-ishly with husky rap added to the (0)-121⅗-0bpm Vocal or a dubwise International (not a misprinted instrumental, there being many other washing samples), flipped by a more beefily chugging House Dub in three separate (0-)122-0bpm parts, all giving new life to a tune that seemed to burn out quite quickly once it was finally out here (odd that neither these new ones nor the earlier Oppy Mix have had UK release too);

EDDY GRANT ‘Walking On Sunshine (Zulu Mix)‘ (Parlophone/Blue Wave Records 12R 6217), opening with “zulu” repetition and what proves to be continuously pattering new percussion before any familiar old elements are to be heard, Tim Simenon’s 117⅘bpm remix of the tune that became more famous when covered by Rockers Revenge is presumably in celebration of its tenth anniversary, the cluttering percussion adding little to its appeal although the flip’s untouched 114⅗bpm Original Mix does sound empty and plain by comparison (jaunty 122⅖bpm-123bpm ‘California Style’ soca calypso from 1981 too);

FUNKY WORM ‘You + Me = Love (The Bass Addition Mix)’ (FON/WEA FON19TX), juddery bass overlaid 122bpm looser semi-instrumental remix by Parrot and Mark, the old Undisputed Truth tune proving not to be the hit that had been anticipated by some (two further 122bpm variations as flip too);

BONNIE BYRD ‘Good Girl’ (BSBi BENNT R2, via PRT), finally released here for some reason as a less sultry 0-101⅙bpm remix, this unhurriedly weaving and wailing soul swayer now lacks the import’s power but gains an instrumental, while the originally hotter ‘We Can Make It‘ flip is in a slightly slower still strainingly sung though more cleanly bounding 120bpm Tony Humphries remix;

NENEH CHERRY ‘Manchild (“Massive Attack” Remix)‘ (Circa Records YRTX 30), monotonous droningly dubwise resonant tugging and scratching strange 88bpm remix by Massive Heart Attack (bonus beats too), flipped by a more starkly hip hop-ish sombre slower 85bpm Smith ‘N’ Mighty remix (More Bass – Less Vocal Style mix too).
