April 28, 1990: BBG, Liquid Oxygen, Young M.C., Shut Up And Dance, 2 In A Room

BEATS & PIECES

FRANKIE CROCKER, following the popularity of his previous visit, is back on London’s Capital FM next week (April 30-May 4) broadcasting his evening soul show simultaneously on New York City’s WBL “kickin'” S! . . . Soul II Soul’s imminent new album is much more consistently tempoed than their first, side two being especially strong with a brilliant instrumental called ‘Time‘ which I can’t stop replaying on cassette, and a future smash ‘Our Time Has Now Come‘ closing track . . . Light Of The World are about to return with a single mixed by Jazzie B, which can’t hurt — and Teena Marie is being produced by him, too . . . LiveWire Promotions’ seventh Prestatyn weekender possibly dragged on rather too long over four days at Easter but delivered most of what had been promised, there being just a few substitutions among the publicised PAs, while the huge main room (with improved atmospheric lighting) was totally surrounded by a stylised cityscape custom painted on banners, a gigantic inflatable fly hovering menacingly above the stage to complete the theme . . . Darryl Pandy so energetically performed his upcoming house revival of The O’Jays’ ‘I Love Music’ at Prestatyn, kicking his slippers high over the stage curtains before rolling around on the floor waggling his legs in the air, that he was taken away by stretcher with a bad back . . . Robert Owens, you would have thought legendary enough from his soulful vocal work with Fingers Inc, was met with bored indifference and actual boos by the Prestatyn crowd, suggesting that deep house is too subtle for today’s ravers (for whom, to judge from this South-East dominated weekender anyway, slower funky Soul II Soul/Snap/Family Stand-type tempos really do mean increasingly more now) . . . Chris Brown, the contemporary acid house rave DJ, really cracked it at Prestatyn however by reverting to his veteran soul roots for a set that drew not only applause after his every lesser known though excellent classy selection, but also spontaneous soul clapping through all the rhythm breaks, and massed formation dancing . . . Lisa Stansfield was so closely protected by bodyguards that not even the promoters could get close to her at Prestatyn (where Snowboy played percussion in her band), it being a real case of “Elvis has left the building” as immediately her live show was over she was whisked into a waiting coach and away . . . Flavor Flav, so enjoying himself that he stayed on the camp at Prestatyn, is not at all the rap fanatic one might suspect from Public Enemy, confessing to a love of doo wop (Fifties vocal groups) — but he knows what time it is, even if the clock around his neck has stopped! … George Ergatoudis, fresh from producing both a one hour documentary on remixing and a series on the history of hip hop for broadcast on BBC Radio 1 in July, is the new club promotions manager at 4th + B’way . . . Ann Matura is building a DJ mailing list at Desire Records, 97 Charlotte Street, London W1P 1LB (apply in writing) . . . Rumour Records are rush releasing Don Pablo’s Animals ‘Venus’, which should make it a lot easier to find here, Cooltempo are rushing D-Shake ‘Yaaaaaaaaaah’/’Techno Trance’, and BCM Records are rushing Richard Rogers ‘Can’t Stop Loving You’ . . . adventures of Stevie V ‘Dirty Cash (Money Talks) (Sold Out Mix)’, as last week’s review omitted, is on Mercury (MERXR 311) . . . Arthur Baker, amongst Breakout’s dropped acts, has indeed now signed to RCA . . . DJ Mark The 45 King’s remix (96½bpm) of David Bowie ‘Fame 90’, featuring Queen Latifah’s rap, turns out to be merely the seven inch B-side! . . . Chrysalis have labelled promos of a Colin Hudd remix of the Blue Aeroplanes’ ‘Lovers All Around’ as “Gangly Bootleg” . . . ‘Hotel California’, the Eagles’ AoR standard, is getting a ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ treatment from Jam On The Mother . . . Nicky Holloway has moved just over the lane beside London’s Charing Cross Road Astoria to the basement of 12 Sutton Row in which, using all white decor, he has created The Milk Bar, an intimate club open six nights a week where the “cream” of London’s DJs will play music “with bottle” to make the place “shake”, and although for instance Fridays feature himself plus Paul Oakenfold and Saturdays Dave Dorrell and Pete Tong, a music policy back to black roots is best exemplified by the start next Thursday of a nostalgic Full Circle night, starring Chris Hill (May 3), Greg Edwards (10), and Froggy (17), no less! . . . Skegness’s Life Weekender this Fri/Sat/Sunday (27/8/9) still has a few places so ring 0772-700282 in a hurry if you fancy seeing the likes of Candy Flip, Paradox, Ashley & Jackson, Stevie V, Mr Monday and a massive DJ line-up including ‘Evil’ Eddie Richards, Cohn Curtis, Colin Faver, Jonathan, Carl Cox, Soul Sam and many more . . . KICKIN’!

EN VOGUE were the surprise sensation of Easter’s seventh Prestatyn weekender, reviving the classic girl group style of the Sixties with an appealingly choreographed powerful acappella intro to their current import, ‘Hold On‘, which consequently ended up easily the hottest hit to emerge from the four day event — if not just about the only hit ever really broken at Prestatyn so far!

DIANA BROWN & BARRIE K SHARPE ‘The Masterplan’

BLACK BOX ‘Fantasy’
CABARET VOLTAIRE ‘Keep On’
THE FARM ‘Stepping Stone’
DADA NADA ‘Deep Love’
JOVONN ‘Turn And Run Away’
BASSOMATIC ‘In The Realm Of The Senses’
TRUE LOVE EP (white label – includes the original ‘Your Love’/’You Got The Love’ bootleg)

BBG ‘Snappiness’ (106bpm) (Urban/Hoax Recordings URBX 54)
Originally white labelled as ‘Sn/appiness Mix’, Big Boss Groove’s Soul II Soul ‘Happiness’ inspired instrumental sets placidly plonking piano chords to a jittery driving rhythm that, coincidentally or not, now seems quite like the actual Snap style — did BBG know something that we didn’t back in February, just before ‘The Power’ first appeared? — flipped by new chunkier Happening and Impulse Mixes rather than the original GoGo Mix, with a female vocal version featuring Dina to follow.

LIQUID OXYGEN ‘The Planet Dance (Move Ya Body)’ (Champion CHAMP 12-242)
Huge even while just on import (½bpm faster!), this intriguing combination of various house elements including the piping synth from Unique 3’s ‘The Theme’ with the early electro style of ‘Planet Rock’ is in Club Dance (123bpm) and instrumental Dub Dance (120¾bpm) versions, flipped by the Madness “hey you” introed twittery burbling instrumental ‘You Have To Understand (Club Mix)‘ (123½bpm) and its short Beat Mix (123bpm).

YOUNG M.C. ‘I Come Off’ (95½bpm) (4th + B’way 12BRW 171)
Rightly A-sided here by Dave Dorrell & CJ Mackintosh’s far superior Southern Comfort Mix, their jazz-funky Aaron Neville ‘Hercules’ rhythm jogged slinkily rolling treatment ideally cushions this gruffly bragging rap and also has a UK only instrumental Southern Comfort Dub, flipped by the US A-side’s different sharply jiggling staccato 12″ and 7″ Remixes.

SHUT UP AND DANCE ‘£20 To Get In’ (124½bpm) (Shut Up And Dance SUAD 3, via Pacific)
Smiley & PJ’s January released ‘£10 (To Get In)’ now hotly remixed (with an amusing “where’s the jam” ‘phonecall intro) as a still “de da da” child hummed but funkier drum shuffled light fluid hip house instrumental, coupled by the “turn it down” complaints punctuated twittery thumping ‘£10 (To Get In) The Rave‘ and Radio Mix, plus again the word spitting though unhurriedly undulating samples woven ‘Rap’s My Occupation‘ (12Ibpm).

DJ MARK THE 45 KING ‘The 900 Number’ (Dance Trax DRXZ 912)
Recently deleted for a while to help build up back orders and thus boost it finally into the Top 40, after steadily selling around 50,000 copies here already (its popularity since late 1988 as the basis of a sideways leaping and squatting bullfrog-like dance craze having only spread gradually), this naggingly catchy sax and drum riff, sounding merely in fact like the first two bars of Marva Whitney’s 1969 James Brown produced ‘Unwind Yourself’ much slowed down and repetitively looped, is re-issued in its Original Instrumental (107¼bpm) plus some new Chad Jackson remixes, promoed (though not all are due commercially) being his funkily drumming and James Brown grunts punctuated Numeric Breakdown, C.J. Breakdown (108bpm) and ‘For The Love Of Money’ bassed, amongst other changes, A Different Style (108½bpm).

2 IN A ROOM ‘Do What You Want (UK Remix)’ (119½-119¾bpm) (Big Life/Cutting Records BLR 20T)
One of the hottest tracks from last year’s New York producers co-operative created album, breezily remixed specially for the UK by Aldo Marin, Todd Terry & Roger Pauletta, this naggingly droned throbbing hip house bounder is flipped by its less resonant US Remix (120½bpm) plus the more Italo style ‘Take Me Away (Vol 1 Remix)‘ (123¼bpm), taking its title line from Loleatta Holloway’s ‘Love Sensation’.

BEATS INTERNATIONAL ‘Won’t Talk About It’ (102½bpm) (Go.Beat GODX 43)
Perhaps not a chart topping tune this time but certainly more ‘credible’ than most of Norman Cook’s album, this electronic tones introed then funky bass and drum bumped jiggly roller is cooed by Lindy Layton with some rapping commentary by the rediscovered original (US) Double Trouble, coupled on white label (ahead of release next week) with the “skanga” punctuated Dave & Ansil Collins-ish early reggae type ‘Beats International Theme‘ (112½bpm), which intriguingly uses looped pop and crackle surface noise as a rhythm element continued perpetually (though losing the beat) in the run-out groove — and no, it’s not just a bad pressing!

MASSIVO featuring TRACY ‘Loving You’ (100¼bpm) (Debut Records DEBTX 3097, via Pacific)
Shaping up as a future smash when it’s released commercially in a fortnight, the Orr-Some Productions team’s shrill strings prodded tapping Soul II Soul tempo revival of Minnie Riperton’s much loved classic is sweetly wailed by Tracy Ackerman with perhaps even more high pitched squeaking than the original, flipped by an emptier The Long Hot Summer Mix plus a jazzily jogging instrumental ‘Half Will Do‘ (95bpm).

THE PASADENAS ‘Love Thing’ (108¼bpm) (CBS XPR 1518)
Perhaps without a strong enough actual song to cross over although full of good, good feeling for soul lovers, this infectious funky drum jiggled half stepper has superb soaring, wailing and harmonising vocal interplay riding through the jaunty rhythm, with squealing sax and plonking piano, flipped on uninformative advance promo pressings by a more busily wriggled alternative B-side mix (108¾bpm), the tempo certainly being right for today.

PAUL JOHNSON ‘Don’t Make Me Wait Too Long (Extended Version)’ (109-108¾bpm) (CBS PJOHN T9)
Pete Wingfield produced jiggly lurching attractive Stevie Wonder penned oldie, gospel-ishly whinneyed but Snap-pily remixed (usefully at the same BPM as ‘The Power’!) by Crypt with a burst of midway rap from D.C. Sarone of Nuff Juice, flipped by a sparser husky Spiritual Mix and bumpily wriggling Instrumental (both 108¾bpm), a separate Jon Jules remix being due too.

LISA STANSFIELD ‘What Did I Do To You? (Morales Mix)’ (124¼bpm) (Arista LISA 4)
This frantic David Morales remixed percussively rattling and pulsing canterer (with some nice jazzy sax and flute) makes perhaps an odd choice of material for what could prove to be a crucial single — flipped on promo (ahead of full release next week) by a bass and piano so-called Anti Poll Tax Dub (125bpm).

BLAZE ‘So Special’ (119¼bpm) (Motown ZT 43710)
Kevin Hedge’s harmonising group returns at last, as long awaited, on Motown with an excellent classily swirling and soaring breezy soul canterer that hopefully won’t fall between two stools in the currently polarised dance market, being neither acid house nor Soul II Soul, flipped by a Radio Edit plus the similarly dated ‘Mission‘ (121¼bpm).

GURU JOSH ‘Who’s Law?’ (122½bpm) (de/Construction Records GURU 1)
With an ungrammatical title that actually means “Whose Law?” rather than “Who’s that chap called Law?”, this again spacey saxophone wailed though more coherently structured acid house throbber repeatedly stutters, growls and mutters its question while avoiding any reference to recent anti rave legislation, flipped (on a promo initially circulated only outside London) by a more electronic instrumental Speedball Mix.

A GUY CALLED GERALD ‘Automanikk (Bass Overload Mix)’ (130¼-130½bpm) (Subscape/CBS AGCG T2)
Derrick ‘Mayday’ May remixed girls squawked ultra frantic juddering acid house racer, flipped by more jerkily acidic Future (128½-128¾bpm) and robotic guy intoned fiercely scampering twittery Derrick May The Force Be With You (130½bpm) Mixes, with further mixes to follow in a fortnight while already also separately promoed is its more loosely scurrying Live Gun Shot Mix (130¾bpm), only otherwise on the seven inch, and obviously very different slowly pulsing girl sung Album Mix (114bpm) [mislabelled, actually Emotions Electric 2 (Album Mix)].

ORR-SOME ‘We Can Make It’ (119½bpm) (Debut Records DEBTX 3096, via Pacific)
Created by Jon Jules, Darren Pearce & Steve E. McCutcheon, who make up Massivo too, this disjointedly introed then booming bass pounded powerful raving simple hip house-ish instrumental strider is prodded by title line chants and honking sax before reaching some refreshing vibes, the chantless Orchestral (119¼bpm) and instantly bounding Depth (119bpm) Mixes substituting blocked chords of synthetic strings.

ADAMSKI ‘KilleRemix’ (120bpm) (MCA Records MCAX 1400)
Much less vocal and probably preferable chunkily shuffling unhurried remix by Adamski & Ben Chapman, still coupled with ‘Bassline Changed My Life’ (120bpm) but also newly flipped by a good cantering and surging twittery ‘The N-R-G Symphony In F Minor‘ (119¾bpm).

M.C. MELL’O’ ‘Open Up Your Mind (The Consciousness Of One) (UPSO Mix)’ (112½bpm) (RePublic Records LICT 033, via Rough Trade)
Blacksmith’s first production (rather than remix) for another artiste, this percussion tapped and organ piped attractive chorus washed jitterer is itself unhurried though the 21 -year-old MC, after a mellow start, gets wordily urgent in spurts, his speed being matched more by the jiggly harder pushing alternative groove of the flip’s Brixton Bass Mix (113bpm) while he practically spits out his teeth in the scratching jerky frenetic ‘Word Spoken’ (106½-96½bpm) before it slows down.

DOMINATION ‘I Need Something Mellow’ (104¼bpm) (US Rhyme $yndicate Records 49 73144)
Featuring what I take to be a multi-tracked Kid Jazz fast talking with himself (unless it’s with co-creator Kid Scratch), this raggedly chatted and soulful girl nagged attractively mellow yet jittery tugging swayer has intriguing lyrics (or a longer Instrumental), flipped by the Todd Terry-ish urgent hip house ‘Move Your Body’ (117¼bpm) (Instrumental too) and jumbled slow wordy ‘Back At It Again‘ (99¼bpm), due out here.

FATMAN & STELLA MAE ‘Release Me’ (118bpm) (Cue Records TCUE 001)
Judge Jules & Roy The Roach mixed gently jaunty shuffling hip house-ish intermingling of rap, soul and ambient elements, tinkling and chirruping through three mixes while husky vocalist Stella Mae remains calm whether singing or rapping, already warm for a while on white label ahead of full release apparently next month.

BOYS WONDER ‘Eat Me Drink Me (The Power Mix)’ (105½-105¼bpm) (Flat Records OUT T5001)
Steve Proctor remixed — indeed, totally revamped (as the flip’s original shows) — rock track now given the Snap rhythm treatment to become a chants and comments punctuated but basically instrumental jiggly judderer with jangling piano and still some bursts of yowling guitar.

PHIL COLLINS ‘Something Happened On The Way To Heaven (One World Remix)’ (114¼bpm) (Virgin VST 1251)
Considering Phil himself must be one of the world’s most sampled drummers it’s ironic that what sounds like the opening drum roll of Jr Walker & The All Stars’ Road Runner’ keeps punctuating this excellent beefily trotting wriggly remix by Tim Lever & Mike Percy of 1 World!

LEFTFIELD ‘Not Forgotten’ (120bpm) (Outer Rhythm FOOT 3)
Slow starting, episodically surging and rumbling UK house instrumental with spurts of catchily tinkling synth and some muttered comments, in spikily pattering Fateh’s On The Case and bassy Dub versions too.
