BEATS & PIECES

PHONOGRAPHIC PERFORMANCE LIMITED (PPL), according to their officer Rehan Khan, have terminated the Disco Mix Club’s ‘dubbing’ licence and issued a writ in the latest stage of a continuing dispute about the terms of the licence — a blanket royalty agreement which was originally conceived, at a rate of 15 per cent of revenue, for firms who compile and copy existing records onto cassette (perhaps to make background music-type programmes) for rental only, but which has been adapted into a special ‘mixing’ licence at a slightly higher 17½ per cent of their revenue for services like the DMC who in return are enabled to supply subscribers with remixes and megamixes on vinyl (having first also obtained individual clearances from the record companies concerned for the tracks used). The situation now, while PPL registered companies wait for the pending litigation to be resolved, means that the club is limited to using only non-PPL labels’ material in its mixes, which will appear this coming month without interruption according to the DMC’s Tony Prince, who, in a letter circulated to the record industry, says “More than anything, I hope you will appreciate better than the people who do not know us, that our integrity is not in question” . . . 808 State have combined both ‘Cübik’ and ‘Olympic State’ for their UK newie, confusingly labelled as ‘CübikOlympic808State’ (ZTT ZANG 5T), only received so far as a seven inch but due to have the fruity fart tones and ‘Dr Who’-type spacey synth prodded ‘Cübik’ in its Jimi Hendrix-like guitar introed and freaky effects outroed jerky Original Mix (123¾bpm) plus a Pan Am Mix (presumably the hot import Pan American Excursion version, which was a smoother 124¼bpm), flipped by the friskily melodic bleeping ‘Olympic State’ in a new attractive bell tinkled light Flutey Mix (122½bpm) plus a Euro Bass Mix (presumably the original promo’s driving house-ier Heavy Bass Euromix, 122¾bpm) . . . Prince ‘New Power Generation (LP Version)‘ (110¾-112bpm) (Paisley Park Records W9525T), the latest single from his ‘Graffiti Bridge’ album, has also only arrived on seven inch so far but is a good funkily lurching chantalong stomper, fluctuating in tempo — and if, as seems likely, the raucous Pt II (112¼-113¼bpm) is continuous, it climaxes even faster (with a ragged slow finish) . . . 2 Tuff ‘Slow Down‘ (96¾bpm) (eastwest YZ542T), the unhurried husky rap that combines ‘Hold On’ and ‘Ghetto Heaven’ among its familiar main elements and pays ’nuff respect to Soul II Soul for helping slow down dance rhythms again, was originally promoed back in June (with limited availability later) on an Intrigue pressing intended primarily for export to meet demand in Italy and Germany for its then B-side, ‘Tribute‘, a drily chatted plea for unity among rappers, included here in just its “whoo/yeah” prodded slinkily jaunty old reggae beats underpinned “Ska” Remix (106¾bpm), both now newly flipped by the Jazzie B-style rapped and girls cooed attractive sinuously pulsing ‘Elevate Your Mind‘ (101¼bpm) . . . Teena Marie’s ‘Since Day One (Remix)‘ (97bpm) (Epic 656429 6) is a perfect example of the type of quality soul that Kiss 100 fm is returning to popular prominence in London, usefully just as Teena returns to her typically wailing and scatting superb soul style of old, this Jazzie B produced track from her ‘Ivory’ album being a naggingly catchy gorgeous swooping and searing slinky jogger underpinned by Barry White’s ‘I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little More Baby’ bass and piano at times, out this week but promoed as a twinpack with its Instrumental (96¾bpm) on the other disc . . . Bristol’s FTP incremental radio station is now linked financially with the Chiltern Radio Network, whose lessons learnt in particular at black music orientated Horizon Radio and Choice FM seem likely to be passed on . . . Caroline Pead in a fortnight leaves Phonogram to handle dance music A&R and set up a DJ mailing list at the actual Virgin label, as opposed to the Associated Virgin Labels (AVL) division . . . Gwen Guthrie ‘Miss My Love’ (Reprise W9763), reviewed on import w/e September 22 and promoed as a US white label, is now out here . . . Nightmares On Wax’s fast selling ‘Aftermath’ is due also now in a remix by L.F.O. . . . Steve Eusebe is the featured vocalist with not only Sound Of Shoom but also Mr Monday, on the latter’s good ‘Pushing‘ B-side . . . Mr Monday actually is the debut release on DJs Judge Jules and Roy the Roach’s own label, Elevation Inc. . . . London’s Brown’s club, formerly Blitz, really has been blitzed — or at least apparently burnt out in a fire . . . Brian Gardner changes the pace with D.Stress Tuesdays starting this week (Oct 30) at Soho’s Wag Club, promising plenty of rare groove, soul, swingbeat and other slinky stuff but positively no house . . . Dean Thatcher, Mark Doyle, Normski and guests celebrate the second birthday of Freestyle this Thursday (Nov 1) at Ealing’s Haven Stables, where you’re likely to hear everything from Bruce Hornsby & The Range, Zoe, Young Disciples and the Soup Dragons to Tommy Roe’s ‘Dizzy’ (not forgetting The Aloof, eh Dean?!) . . . Paul Major promises a totally terrifying ‘Tunnel Of Horror’ leading all the way upstairs to Lowestoft’s Bluenotes II for his Hallowe’en party this Thursday (1), half price entry and cash prizes for fancy dressers . . . London’s gay Bolts has returned with DJ Norman Scott on Fridays to its old home, formerly Lazers but now called the Arena in Haringey’s Green Lanes, where stars like George Michael used to be regulars . . . Total Kaos with all sorts of fun, including fireworks and foghorns, is promised by DJ Sy, Micky Finn, DJ SS, MJP, DJ Chipie, Formation 5, Hardcore Trio, Yorkie and DJ Tony this Friday {2) at Leicester’s Spectrum “round the corner from the Helsinki”, while rather confusingly Johnny Walker reckons he’s headlining a Spectrum allniter this Saturday (3) at Leicester’s Oasis . . . The Scientist’s follow-up will be ‘The Bee‘, with a buzzzzzzing bee effect making the ultimate bleep! . . . DAMN’ FINE!

2 FOR JOY ‘In A State (Juno Latuno Mix)’

HYPERSONIC ‘Dance-Tones’ (D-Zone Records DANCE 001, via 0708 727029)
Lacking details like the same label’s N-R Gee Posse/Ree-Venge promo double-sider, this fully released instant fast seller from Dance Zone Records is a “3,000 cycles per second” tone introed then thrumming and bleeping unhurried techno instrumental (124¼bpm), ending with another test tone that continues right around the run-out groove, while on the ‘Cübik’ prodded flip are slightly more hip house tempoed (124¾bpm) and fiercer siren filled (124¼bpm) treatments of the same tune, the siren again continuing through the run-out groove. The next big bleeper?

MENTAL CUBE ‘Chile Of The Bass Generation’ (118bpm) (Debut DEBTX 3104)
Driven by a thrashing drum and repetitively looped flute squawk, this variety filled funkily driving instrumental is underpinned by ever shifting bursts of rumbling and yowling low frequency oscillation as it builds through organ and wah wah guitar, making it refreshingly different and very fresh, flipped by the less essential blippy chugging ‘Q’ (119¼bpm) and short frantic ‘Dope Module‘ (138bpm).

RED BANDIT ‘I’m Back (Funk Mix)’ (99¾bpm) (Motown ZT 44138)
Starting with an amusingly (and misleadingly!) sexy answering machine greeting before mumbling rapper James Bowman leaves his message, which amounts to the song that follows, this P’funkily rumbling and slithering judderer is in fact his answer version to Lisa Stansfield’s ‘All Around The World’, and not only is addressed to Lisa in the lyrics but also actually samples brief phrases by her amidst the tumbling beats (less confused in its ‘Atomic Dog’-ish Funk Instrumental), the sparser pleasant gently wriggling Single Version (99½bpm) having more of Lisa herself.

REBEL M.C. ‘Culture (Dancehall Mix)’ (90bpm) (desire WANTX 38, via Pacific)
Catchily based on Jimmy Cliff’s (credited) ‘Many Rivers To Cross’ as sung by Danny Beatfreak (one presumes, from the label), this ‘The Power’ bell jingled densely tugging slow reggae swayer is flipped by a bass bumped Roots Mix plus the jerkily jittering reggae/hip house ‘Comin’ On Strong (Ruff Neck Mix)‘ (115bpm) featuring Tenor Fly.

CAVEMAN ‘Fry You Like Fish’ (117bpm) (Profile PROFT 286)
Rapper of the century MCM (1990, geddit?) and DJ Diamond J’s good frenetic word spitting jumpy swirler is in brassily JB-ish churning Jazz Remix, Jazz Remix Instrumental and funkier scratching Original Mix versions, hot already on Kiss 100 fm and out this week, coupled also by the flute tootled slithery rare grooving ‘Introduction To A Caveman‘ (105¼bpm).

KING FOR A DAY ‘Kick That Rhythm’ (113¾bpm) (Crucial Dance CD 3, via 071-403 9658)
Kicked off and catchily punctuated by synthesised sax tones similar to L.A. Mix’s in ‘Coming Back For More’, this infectious lightweight Snap-type shuffler mixes up a repetitively cooing girl, more urgent “sing hallelujah” exclamations, and some background male chatter to end up a less than original but very effective funky drummer groove, more than a song, flipped by a slow starting dub treatment.

PAL JOEY ‘Runaway’ (Champion CHAMP 12-266)
A steadily finger snapping classy lean jazz-funk instrumental, Joey Longo’s cheeky revamp of the classic breezy Roy Ayers Ubiquity ‘Running Away’ bassline is here in an organ and brass overdubbed fuller, faster but slightly shorter Joey’s UK Remix (119¾bpm) flipped by the import’s sparser, slower but slightly longer Original NY Mix (118¾bpm). Dood’n doo!

ASHLEY & JACKSON ‘Solid Gold’ (113¼bpm) (DFM Records DFM 008)
Produced by A Certain Ratio’s Martin Moscrop, Sheffield duo Paul Wheatcroft and Steve Cobby’s moodily muttered brassy wukka-wukker sounds like something from the soundtrack of an early Seventies “blaxploitation” flick, Denise Johnson adding some mournful wailing as it progresses through the Vocal and Inst. that were originally coupled with the huskily moaned deep house ‘Fonda‘ (119¾bpm) and more sparsely cantering techno ‘K.T.T.’ (119¾bpm), but now those Original mixes themselves couple the Adam Fuest remixed, possibly less distinctive but more brightly trotting and airily arranged ‘Solid Gold (Version)’ (113¾bpm) (Big Life/DFM Records BLR 34T) and its Version lnst, due for wider release in a fortnight.

N-R-GEE POSSE ‘Themes’ (122½bpm) (D-Zone Records DANCE 003)
From a division of Dance Zone Records but on a very limited black label 33⅓rpm promo pressing designed to attract major label interest (the etching where the matrix number is normally stamped even invites A&R men to call 0831 472804!), this burbling low frequency oscillations underpinned and “hey DJ, play the theme” punctuated throbbing bleeper continually drops into different famous old break beats, followed by an alternative sometimes backwards running version (122¼bpm), and is likewise flipped by the separate (catalogue number DANCE 002)

REE-VENGE ‘Dreams Of Life’ (105¼bpm), an ambiently introed and outroed, atmospheric humming synth washed, ‘Sn/appiness’-type mellow instrumental jiggler with rifling piano and a few “utterly preposterous” comments, followed by its disjointed sparse dub (105bpm). Both sides are good, ‘Themes’ having the commercial edge.

OLU ROWE ‘One Nation (Apapa Mix)’ (123¾bpm) (Ten Records TENR 323)
Not so hot in its tricky slow then friskily skipping attractive original Zimba Mix (TENX 323), this lightly soulful Portsmouth (actually, Portchester) guy’s Paul Witts produced song of hope is now less vocal but still slow starting in its beefier bass wriggled frantically skittering nervy new remix (both mixes flipped by their Instrumentals).

The MARtian ‘Get Up To My Groove’ (Champion CHAMP 12-265)
Created in New Jersey by Marlon (MARIon the MARtian) Grant, this trendy bleeps filled though in fact fairly old fashioned washing machine-type twitterer sizzles and thumps through its title muttering Groovy Mix (121½-121¼bpm), instrumental Busy Mix (121½bpm), Smooth — here much shortened and printed as Shootn’ — Mix (121¾bpm) and Bonus Beats (121¼bpm), actually losing the beat quite jarringly during several edits in each.

N.W.A. ‘100 Miles And Runnin” (111½-112bpm) (4th + B’way 12 BRW 200)
Lead cut on a typically “motherf**ker” filled four-tracker (it lacks ‘Real Niggaz’ here), this fleeing from the police effects introed then relentlessly wordy churning angry rap holds some surprises as it progresses, coupled by the hilarious love talk and anatomy sucking instructions introed — juvenile maybe but good smutty fun! — slow rolling ‘Just Don’t Bite It‘ (83¼bpm), police informer ‘phonecall dialogue introed then disturbing ‘F*** Tha Police’ scenario extending ‘Sa Prize (Part 2)‘ (100bpm), and new album plugging short ‘Kamurshol‘ (100½bpm).

RONIN INC. ‘On The Mix’ (122½-122¾bpm) (Ronin-Records RONIN 5, via 071-792 9650)
Kicking off a 33⅓rpm four-tracker, this flurrying funky drum break beats and vocal samples woven cantering episodic semi-instrumental (fluctuating largely around 122¼bpm with a slightly faster start, tempoless pause two-thirds through, and nearly 123bpm finish) is an exciting enough hip house-ish groove without much ultimate point, coupled by its basic break beat ‘Maniac Beats’ (122¾bpm), the “funky dope assassin” (plus other stuff not for airplay!) muttering slow juddery ‘Ronin Step’ (91¾bpm), and frenetically churning percussive ‘Havoc‘ (125bpm).

LANCE ELLINGTON ‘Don’t Ever Leave Me Again’ (81bpm) (A&M/PM AMY 702)
With a tempoless lush breathy intro, this tender wailingly pleaded Marvin Gaye-ish romantic groin grinder is in Straight Pass, Noir, Rhodes and Soul Mixes, each with a different intensity of rhythm and all sexually healing.

THE KICK SQUAD ‘Sound Clash (Champion Sound)’ (125½bpm) (Kickin/GTI Records GTI 015T, via Southern)
This trio of Ladbroke Grove session musicians weaves bleeps, low frequency oscillations, house beats and ragga comments into what’s claimed as a dancehall/techno fusion, although it’s a lot less ragga than some other recent fusions, in Hyper Dancehall, Scientific (with a jauntily repeated Depeche Mode sample), and DJ Hyper Mixes, out this week.

RENEGADE SOUNDWAVE ‘R.S.W In Dub’ (Mute Records STUMM 85)
Preceded by a similarly titled limited edition sampler EP (P STUMM 85) containing four of this instrumental double LP’s tracks, most exciting (and due as a commercial 12 inch remix) being the violent bass thundered galloping ‘Thunder’ (119½-119¼bpm) with silky strings seemingly playing ‘The Good Life’ amongst many other episodic quotes as it rampages along, plus the clompingly percussive pulsing ‘Women Respond To Bass‘ (117bpm), shufflingly lurching ‘Transworld Siren‘ (105bpm) and throbbingly meandering ‘Deadly‘ (111bpm), the actual album has the same ‘Thunder’ (119¼-119bpm), ‘Women Respond To Bass’ (116¾bpm), ‘Transworld Siren’ (105½bpm), ‘Deadly’ (111¼bpm), plus the plinky plunking ethnic thumping strange ‘Bacteria‘ (92½bpm), dull plodding ‘Transition‘ (100½bpm), meandering ‘Pocket Porn Dub‘ (47¾/95¼bpm), squidging slow ‘Holgertron‘ (86bpm), reggae-ish sparse quiet ‘Recognise And Respond‘ (100¼bpm), dubwise reggae ‘Black Eye Boy‘ (80bpm), and to be frank is not terribly thrilling. My advice is wait for the 12!

GEORGE MICHAEL ‘Waiting For That Day’ (86¾bpm) (Epic GEO T2)
Starting with the guitar chords intro and fading out with the title line lyrics from the Rolling Stones’ You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ (a 1969 ‘Let It Bleed’ album track), this melancholy swayer also hints at some Lou Reed inspired “doop de doop” as it weaves through a gently tapping funky snare drummer’s beat, flipped by the mariachi brass brayed jittery staccato ‘Fantasy‘ (116¾bpm).

JASON DONOVAN ‘I’m Doing Fine’ (180bpm) (PWL Records PWLT 69)
Jason benefits as has Kylie from Stock Aitken Waterman’s current nostalgia kick, on this ‘You Can’t Hurry Love’-ishly tempoed mid-Sixties style jerky galloper with catchy Beatles-type effects, and a terrific Beatles-type video to match (Instrumental flip). A pity the thin mix isn’t just a bit beefier.

NITZER EBB ‘Fun To Be Had (Long Mix)’ (119½bpm) (Mute Records 12 MUTE 115)
Mixed by George Clinton & Stewart Hanley, this unison shouted/rapped steadily motoring sparse powerful industrial smacker with a lengthy instrumental central section is practically in hip hop style, while the flip’s hoarsely shouted ‘Getting Closer‘ in Tony Garcia’s Trance Mix (119¾bpm) is a frantic twittery bleeper!

THE DREAM ACADEMY ‘Love’ (blanco y negro NEG46T, via WMI)
This anniversary recognising remake of John Lennon’s song (in roughly similar vocal style) is given a D.N.A. ‘Tom’s Diner’-type rhythm treatment in the humpbacked whale effects introed Extended Mix (99bpm), which is possibly why the flip’s alternative chunkily snapping buoyant Dream House Mix (101 bpm) sounds fresher and more powerful!

CANDY FLIP ‘Space (Funnyfag)’ (101¼bpm) (Debut DEBTX 3102, via Pinnacle)
Intriguingly combining bleeps with a properly downtempo reggae rhythm, this rolling lurcher is coupled by a rockier blandly jiggling radio version of the actual song ‘Space’ (101½bpm) plus the wriggly rave instrumental ‘Konspiracy‘ (120¾bpm), while different again now is Boy George O’Dowd’s de-reggaefled gently pulsing and breathily crooned tranquil Jesus Loves You remix (101½bpm), confusingly labelled just as ‘Space’ (Debut DEBTXR 3102) and flipped by his emptily snicking disco Dub Mix (102¾bpm) plus the fluttery bleeping ‘Evolution‘ (118bpm).

ANNA MWALE ‘Get Free’ (97¼bpm) (Epic 656103 6)
Originating from CBS Schallplatten GmbH in Germany, this ‘The Power’ bells jiggled and funky drummer chugged slinky swayer comes in The Eden Upstairs and more stridently sung The Eden Downstairs Remixes.

MASTER ACE ‘Take A Look Around’ (Cold Chillin’/:r 7599-26179-1)
Recently warm on import, the intelligent rapper’s album has the original US 12-inched version of the JB prodded unrushed rolling ‘I Got Ta’ (103¾bpm), strong Crusaders ‘Street Life’ based ‘Postin’ High‘ (107¼bpm), gently swaying though ultimately boisterous conversational ‘As I Reminisce‘ (88¼bpm), Cymande The Message’ based Biz Markie guying ‘Me And The Biz‘ (88½bpm), jauntily jiggling hip house ‘Can’t Stop The Bumrush‘ (120bpm), sinuously funky ‘Music Man‘ (98¼bpm), Maceo sax spiked ‘Ace lz Wild‘ (107bpm), calmly reflective ‘Movin’ On‘ (106¼bpm), Miracles introed nervily jittering ‘Letter To The Better (Remix)‘ (115½bpm), slinky quiet social commentary ‘Take A Look Around‘ (90¾bpm), beggar scenario message ‘The Other Side Of Town‘ (97¼bpm), weaving ‘Brooklyn Battles‘ (82/41bpm), lightly bouncing ‘Maybe Next Time‘ (104½bpm).

KASH DA MUSTA ‘Get Ya Self Together (Jealousy Mix)‘ (Big One VVBIG 26)
