December 9, 1989: Tashan, D.J. Lelewel, Adamski, Adeva, De La Soul

BEATS & PIECES

DOCTOR K, well known for his recordings on I.M.W and as a finalist at other previous contests, had deliberately held back in the preliminary rounds but then let loose to win the scratch mixing category in last week’s grand final of the London Mix Competition, with Ross Emins as runner up, while (ironically adding a really fresh dimension to the mixing competition format) the “straight” club mixing category was won by Mike Lloyd (using some Kylie Minogue as a crowd wind-up!), with Steven Verity as runner up. Promoter Wayne Nevers of New Cross’s Bad Company Soul Syndicate plans definitely to hold a second competition next year, possibly earlier in the summer … Ontario based Bigshot Records’ founder Jerry Fumo is hosting what’s described as a “label awareness bash” next Tuesday (12) at London’s Café De Paris, for which a limited number of £8 public tickets are available on 01-439 6194 … CityBeat and associated label XL Recordings are recruiting club DJs to act as regional representatives, promoting new releases and talent scouting for future signings – call Nick Hawkes on 01-870 7511 if interested … Arthur Baker, riding high as composer of Taylor Dayne’s current US smash, has been chosen by the film’s subject to score a documentary about the career of Quincy Jones, and is also looking forward to leading the band when Al Green promotes ‘The Message Is Love’ live on Johnny Carson’s top rated ‘Tonight’ show (rivalled now however on US TV by a “hipper” chat show hosted by Arsenio Hall) … Eddie Murphy has disappointed fans with his self written and directed new film ‘Harlem Nights’, a gratuitously foul-mouthed tale of nightclubs and gangsters set in 1938 which is never less than interesting but, despite co-starring Richard Pryor, Red Foxx, Della Reese, Arsenio Hall and a vampish Jasmine Guy, fatally just is not funny … Fred Parris & The 5 Satins’ 1956 doo wop classic, ‘(I’ll Remember) In The Still Of The Nite’ as usual came top of New York oldies station WCBS-fm’s annual listeners-voted Top 500, broadcast repeatedly throughout Thanksgiving, which was typically dominated by doo wop despite 23 entries by Elvis Presley and even the incongruous inclusion of Led Zeppelin’s ‘Stairway To Heaven’! … Tim Rudling and Lisa Horan, previously together in EMI’s dance music team, have reunited to form The Dance Corporation handling all kinds of promotion (on 01-878 5022) … Welsh studio mixing wiz Alan Coulthard has been rushed off his feet since going independent, just in the first six weeks creating commercial megamixes for Inner City, Mel & Kim, Raze, ‘The Champion Story’, and the Gibson Brothers (the latter commission including six separate remixes too) … Ben Liebrand Remix ‘The Eve Of The War’ originally stormed the pop chart while still on its previously reviewed German 12 inch pressing (CBS 655126 6) … Dave Dorrell & CJ Mackintosh have remixed the Roxanne Shanté album’s ‘Independent Woman’ for UK release next month … DJ ‘Kid Smurf’ wants strictly ravers only to turn up for his new Move Groove night starting this Thursday (7) at the Bear Cage in Leicester, where his Helsinki Bar gig has switched from Saturdays to Fridays … Gary Marson mixes up mainly house, lightweight rap and new soul on Fridays also at Leicester’s Bear Cage, and Saturdays at Nottingham’s Hippo … Matthew Roberts finds that, as many of his crowd go raving on Fridays at Manchester’s Hacienda, they dictate the upfront black sounds he spins with fellow ‘Blast’ jocks Gary Jones (tipped as a name to watch) and John Locke on Saturdays at Chester’s “heaving” High Society, and with Andy Baker on Thursdays at Wrexham’s Mr C’s … Jason Bushby’s soul/house/garage/hip hop Fridays at Saltburn’s Philmore Discotheque have been truly “heaving” ever since we last mentioned them, with guest DJs and PAs every week, more live acts always being needed – talk to him or Chris Farrell at the club on 0287-22202 if you’re interested in playing to the North-East Posse! … Al Charles, just to be contrary, reports an average 500 funksters “kickin’ and firin’” at his totally upfront Vienna Sundays, 8-11pm in Bury St Edmunds’ Devonshire House! … Nick Power (Kingston Upon Thames) rightly points out that of course it isn’t Faith, Hope & Charity but the other girl group with a similar name, Ecstasy, Passion & Pain whose ‘Touch And Go’ from 1976 sounds similar to ‘Just Wanna Touch Me’ by Italy’s Fidelfatti with Ronnette (of which an improved Norman Cook remix is out now) … Leon Roberts, of Manchester’s Black Rhythms at The Poly, says “Never mind a Loleatta Holloway compilation LP (all the classics are on Dutch Rams Horn 12 inch anyway), isn’t it about time someone bootlegged the acappella of ‘Love Sensation’ to make every house mixer in the country happy?” … IT’S SUCH A GOOD VIBRATION!

HOT VINYL

TASHAN ‘On The Horizon’ (OBR 465521 1, via CBS)
Deliberately inspired by Marvin Gaye’s socially conscious ‘What’s Going On’ style, with touches of Curtis Mayfield and Frankie Beverly too, this excellent gentle soul album combines messages of philosophy and love, even sampling a credited Marvin on the jerkily jogging 96bpm ‘Great Feeling’, and although not necessarily an essential floorfiller has excited instant interest, having also the wriggly undulating 93bpm ‘Black Man’, jiggly muffled swingbeat-ish 108⅛bpm ‘On The Horizon’, hesitantly jittering 95bpm ‘Think About You’, tuggingly swaying (0-)95¾bpm ‘Keep Moving On’, delicately funky 0-106-0bpm ‘All The Time Lovin’’, fatalistic swaying 81⅓-0bpm ‘Changes’, joltingly pattering (0-)107¼bpm ‘How Ya Livin’’, “mother, mother” started drifting 106¼bpm ‘Save The Family’, doodling (0-)92-0bpm ‘Heaven’, meandering 32½bpm ‘Tears Of Joy’, Alyson Williams duetted live 0-72-71⅓-72-71⅔-0bpm ‘Do You Wanna Know’.

D.J. LELEWEL ‘Magic Atto II°’ (BCM Records BCM 355 X)
Finally out here, and charging up The Club Chart as a result, is this typically exciting bounding pounder created by the man behind Black Box, The Mix Master and Starlight (to name just three of the very biggest Italo house hits!), Daniele ‘DJ Lelewel’ Davoli. Once again there’s a Loleatta Holloway-sounding “don’t hold back the feeling”, especially through the flip’s superior here 117⅓bpm The Deep, some corny Euro rap spoiling the A-side’s 117⅓-0bpm The House, as the two different versions are called.

ADAMSKI ‘LIVE AND DIRECT’ (MCA Records MCAX 6702)
This promo six-tracker, comprising in two parts the whole of side one of the now released parent LP (MCL 1900), has proved that last year’s acid house sound is still alive and well and actually being played live in aeroplane hangars (where much of this was recorded) by a sort of one man band, who lays down beats and keyboard lines in a continuous acieed session through the twittery thumping 0-120¼bpm ‘N-R-G’, piano pumped 122¼bpm ‘I Dream Of You‘, less good frantic hollow 126bpm ‘Tenko Krishna‘, piping and jangling frisky 124bpm ‘The Bassline Changed My Life‘, briskly chugging electro 126bpm ‘In Your Face‘, and dispirited twittery 124-124¼-0bpm ‘Magik Piano‘.

ADEVA ‘Beautiful Love (Extended)’ (Cooltempo COOLX 195)
Promoed in complicated combinations, the single commercial 12 inch has this Frankie Knuckles remixed drum tapped and tambourine chinked ambiguously jiggly 93⅞bpm moodily soulful swirling jogger, just right for the Soul II Soul market, its much more gently pulsing lush piano tinkled 94⅛bpm Instru-Mental, and Smack Productions’ typically more vigorous wailing wriggly 117¾bpm ‘Promises (Extended)’. Meanwhile, on promo, COOLXW 195 couples the now 94bpm Extended Knuckles Mix of ‘Beautiful Love’ with a totally different drily jittering sparse 94½bpm Smack Mix featuring some K-Y-ZE rap, and COOLXP 195 couples the now 117⅔bpm Broken Mix (as it’s called here) of ‘Promises’ with its arguably better more briskly striding 0-117¼bpm LP Version.

DE LA SOUL ‘Buddy (Native Tongue Decision Mix)’ (Big Life DLS 4)
Mixed by Baby Huey (who he?!), and due fully next week, this typically mumbled and scratched drily bumping languid 100⅛-0bpm subduedly Zapp-ish roller interweaves meandering guest vocal lines by the Jungle Brothers, Monie Love, Queen Latifah and Q-Tip, briefly quoting a chorus from the Stairsteps’ ‘Ooh Child’ halfway, flipped on promo by a bonus Instrumental Mix plus the commercial AA-side’s Chad Jackson remixed contrastingly fast talking and scrubbing 121-120⅔bpm Tommy Roe ‘Dizzy’ and other Sixties beats backed ‘The Magic Number (1-2-3 Mix)‘.

There is currently so much dance material that it is now impossible to fully review and BPM every release. Starting this week, therefore, I will be doing briefly descriptive reviews of all relevant releases. Some of these potted reviews may well be subsequently expanded into fully detailed feature reviews, others may well include basic beats per minute information without ever being expanded, while the BPMs for some may well only ever appear separately the same week in The Club Chart (which is compiled later than this section and also will include BPMs of stuff yet to be listed). About one thing you can rest assured: if a record turns out to be hot, it will still be BPM-ed, one way or another.

OTHER NEWIES in brief include, on LP, the Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Big Daddy Kane, Kool Moe Dee, Herbie Hancock, George Benson, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Bobby McFerrin, Al Jarreau, Siedah Garrett, El DeBarge, James Ingram, Al B. Sure!, Barry White, Gerald Albright, George Duke, André Crouch, Take 6 and many more featuring superb musical odyssey-like QUINCY JONES ‘Back On The Block’ (Qwest WX 313); surprisingly varied and by no means all danceable, but hot for the ‘phonecall overlaid jerkily shuffling ‘I Called U‘ (rather than ‘Blackout’, due on single), LIL LOUIS & THE WORLD ‘From The Mind Of Lil Louis’ (US Epic E 45468); weight lacking now minus DJ E-Z Rock but with a nice revival of the Gap Band’s ‘Outstanding‘, fairly uptempo rap ROB BASE ‘The Incredible Base’ (US Profie PRO-1285); funky old riffs backed hip house FAST EDDIE ‘Most Wanted’ (D.J. International Records 466024 1); nice largely downtempo huskily soulful BY ALL MEANS ‘Beyond A Dream’ (Fourth & Broadway BRLP 542); Dr Dre produced plaintive girl sung fairly soulful modern style, rather than the rap you might expect, MICHEL’LE ‘Michel’le’ (US Ruthless Records 91282-1).

On 12” are the ‘flute’ tootled and synth washed atmospherically swirling but beefily rumbling and thumping instrumental (flipped by the more monotonously acidic ‘FX‘) A GUY CALLED GERALD ‘Eyes Of Sorrow’ (Subscape Records/CBS XPR-1469);
