BEATS & PIECES

KISS 100 FM, London’s black and dance music incremental station, can already boast a weekly audience figure of 1,078,000 listeners six months ahead of its anticipated target date, according to research conducted during October-December 1990 by RSGB on behalf of JICRAR, this figure representing a weekly reach of 27 per cent of London’s 15-24 year olds and 10 per cent of 25-34 year olds, two thirds of the total being male . . . Gulf War caused oil shortages, should they occur, could put up the price of vinyl so much that record companies would accelerate their shift to just CD and cassette formats virtually overnight – where would that leave DJs? . . . The S*n last Wednesday exposed (shock! horror!) the creative marketing practice of record companies rewarding certain shops with free product to sell it at an audience attracting cheap price in return for help in logging sales on chart computers – who would have believed such wicked things could go on? . . . Big Wave Records is the latest label to shut down, faced with rising costs . . . Cleveland Anderson has left Production House Records and set up his own The Tom Tom Club label, on 081-992 5792 . . . Chad Jackson and Jon Jules this weekend start a series of Antipodean gigs together, DJing around Australia in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne before heading north across the Pacific to Guam and then Hong Kong . . . Simon Dunmore’s eagerly awaited remix (not due commercially for another six weeks) of Monie Love’s ‘Ring My Bell’, only connected by its title line with Anita Ward’s oldie, replaces original duettist Ultra Naté with Adeva and uses the Madonna ‘Vogue’ rhythm . . . The Grid’s dub remix of Jesus Loves You’s upcoming ‘Bow Down Mister’, chunkily chugging along with some Indian wailing like the soundtrack for a hip tandoori restaurant, appears now not to be due for release – making the few cassettes circulated by Richard Norris into instant collector’s items? . . . The Beatmasters’ self composed new but naggingly familiar seeming rare groove style ‘Dunno What It Is (About You)’ (Rhythm King LEFT 44), an excellent urgently lurching jiggly dated pastiche strongly performed by soulfully wailing girls, has been promoed in two X and Y side mixes ahead of February 11 release, gradually winding up through Seventies strings in the wriggly surging X side’s mix featuring Elaine Vassell (102-101¾bpm) – the ‘Yes We Can Can’ Pointer Sisters soul side, if you like – while Simon Law’s The Funky Ginger Mix (100¾-100½bpm) on the Y side strips down to rumbling less cluttered percussion, making it more the Sister Sledge disco side . . . Ben Liebrand’s vibes tinkled although otherwise not noticeably drastic Re-Mix (110½bpm) of Hall & Oates’ distinctively plopping ‘Billie Jean’-ish classic ‘I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)’ (Arista 613 980) was actually only promoed as a single sider and is exclusive just to the 12-inch commercial pressing as flip to Daryl & John’s pop aimed new gloomily lurching ‘Everywhere I Look’ (93bpm) and gentler acoustic ‘Sometimes A Mind Changes’ (98¾/49¼bpm), but is by far the hottest track for which they’re selling anyway . . . Hans Valentin’s throbbingly jogging remake of Stephanie Mills’ oldie, Technomania featuring Emma Haywoode’s ‘(You’re Puttin’) A Rush On Me (Embrace The Bass Mix)’ (105½bpm) (Rumour Records RUMAT 28) features Sharon Haywoode’s strainingly wailing sister with a couple of brief rap breaks by South London’s 2 Brains Inc. and some nice tinkling vibes, coupled with its appropriately bassier ‘Embrace The Bass (Original Version)’ (106pm) basic instrumental rhythm track . . . Bomb The Bass’s (or should that be Tim Simenon’s –see page 27) slinkily swaying Soul II Soul-ish street soul ‘Love So True’ (90bpm) (Rhythm King DOOD 4T), sweetly breathed by nasally crooning Loretta Heywood, was labelled in the wrong order on promo but is flipped by the samples woven 1988-style jittery flurrying ‘You See Me In 3D’ (119½bpm) and raw funky drum jiggled gruff guy rapped ‘Understand This’ (111½bpm) . . . Richard Rogers’ steadily snicking urgent wriggly ‘Spread A Little Love (Club Version)’ (119¾bpm) (BCM Records BCM 489) is huskily soulful like a less exaggeratedly swooping Darryl Pandy, flipped by its similar Spread Your Love Dub plus the unconnected funkily bumping slow ‘RR Beats’ (88bpm) with “annihilating rhythm” repetition . . . Ray Lock (081-641 5340), every Saturday at Purley’s Temptations wine bar, had his cherished seven-years-old GLI PMX 9000 mixer (plus a pair of Technics SL 1210 turntables) stolen at a Christmas Eve gig in Croydon, and is offering a £200 reward for information leading to its recovery . . . DJs Phil C, Prone, Jazz T, C.J. and Bucks, having had a success with their first “intelligent” rap/ragga/swing night, present Intelligence (Part 2) this Friday (Feb 1) at Farnborough Recreation Centre (off the A325, two roundabouts south of Farnborough station), on Meudon Road then right on Westmead . . . Kiss 100 fm breakfast show co-presenter, Graham Gold spins house/rap/swingbeat/soul/classics this and every Friday through February at Grays’ Pzaz in the Queensgate Centre, and likewise this and every Sunday at Chalfont St Peter’s Chalfont Heights Country Club (formerly Winkers Farm) in Denham Lane, at the end of Joiners Lane off the A413 . . . Mr Clubman next Wednesday (Feb 6) presents a free admission/no dress restriction Damn Fine night, at Peterborough’s Shanghai Sam’s, with hot local act Shades Of Rhythm as star DJs amongst other guests – if this one’s a success, the next night in March will add Detroit’s States Of Mind to the DJ line-up . . . Frances Nero’s ‘Footsteps Following Me’ (Motorcity) is still number one for Uxbridge’s Dean Thatcher at all his trendy gigs, if proof be needed of the enduring underground appeal of this ‘Thinking Of You’-ish soul monster . . . AS IT GROOVES!

2 MAD ‘Thinkin’ About Your Body (Chocolate Mix)’ / ‘Boogaloo’ / ‘Bonus Beats’

BLACK BOX ‘Bright On Time’ (123½bpm) (Italian Groove Groove Melody GGM 9018)
Yes, you read that right, it’s ‘Bright’ – a brand new blazing revamp of ‘Ride On Time’ that sets its ‘Love Sensation’ vocal to a breezily bounding blues riff in ‘Crosscut Saw’ style, like a 1967 Stax treatment of the ‘Tramp’ rhythm, unfortunately flipped for poor value here by Graeme Park’s UK hit ‘The Total Mix’ (118½-102¼bpm) of ‘I Don’t Know Anybody Else/Everybody Everybody/Ride On Time/Fantasy’. That apart, dy-no-mite!

OVAL EMOTION ‘Go Go’ (Canadian Hi-Bias Records HB-002)
The second hot release from “the DJ’s label”, this girl crooned and piano chorded Nick Anthony Fiorucci/Cissy Goodridge/Kenny Moran creation is in simple breezy disco Killer Club Mix (123bpm), terrific late Seventies style Classic Airwaves Mix (123¼bpm), chunkier instrumental Groovey MO-Mix (121bpm), and jerkily scratched Deep Destruction Dub (123bpm) treatments, coupled with the attractive vocally RAH Band-ish jazzily doodling ‘Lies’ (105bpm) in synthetic strings swamped gently burbling Classic Club Mix, acappella introed more sinewy Jammin D.J. Dub, and largely beat-less Deadly Intro Pianopella Boom Mix versions.

ALEXANDER O’NEAL ‘All True Man (Classic Club Mix)’ (104½bpm) (Tabu 656571 8)
Now selling even faster than the original, this superb tight-harmonies introed and underpinned, stark bass bomped cool chunkily jiggling Frankie Knuckles remix is flipped with terrific value by Frankie’s alternative even sparser, organ prodded languidly ticking Big House Mix and piano plinked attractive Big House Instrumental, essential for all who have an ear for class.

JOHNNY GILL ‘Wrap My Body Tight (The Jazzie B Remake)’ (101¼bpm) (Motown ZT 44272)
Currently hot on both import and promo ahead of February 11 UK release, this originally Jam & Lewis created but now Jazzie B revamped bouncily jiggling infectious pent-up semi-falsetto soul swirler seems much faster than it actually is in his 12-inch Remake Version, 7-inch Radio Edit and Instrumental, coupled with Vaughn Halyard’s more lurchingly chugging swingbeat Soul Mix (100¾bpm) for contrast too.

LALAH HATHAWAY ‘Baby Don’t Cry’ (82¼bpm) (Virgin America VUST 35)
Selling steadily on import to black music lovers for the last three months, this Frankie Knuckles remixed (with percussion by David Morales – and some nagging little chimes borrowed from ‘Strawberry Letter 23’!), Angela Winbush created sultrily swaying soulful groin grinder is here in its Crybaby Club and sparsely tapping instrumental Sleeze Versions, flipped by the Jaki Graham oldie reviving ‘Heaven Knows’ in just its chunkily shuffling Yvonne Turner 7-inch Remix (96¼bpm).

LOVE & LAUGHTER ‘I Surrender’ (105bpm) (US SBK.One V-19725)
Recorded in London but only ever circulated here on a limited sampler designed to show what Love & Laughter Productions coul do, this plaintive Fay Brown wailed and Ice Nova ragga rapped repetitive chanting strong Soul II Soul-ish funky jiggler has an imaginatively different bumpy reggae-style bassline, now out properly (albeit on import) and selling well, in Club Mix with Rap, Radio Mix with Rap, Club Mix with Vocal, Radio Mix with Vocal, and Dub Mix versions!

D.J. LELEWEL ‘Take Me Away (Pin Up Girl Remix)’ (124bpm) (Pin Up Girls TMA-001)
From a previous source of straight unremixed bootlegs, this brand new total recreation by the boys behind the label is a piano plonked then repetitively wailing girl nagged bounding and surging bubbly skipper, flipped by their synth blipped drier scurrying Tech Me Away Mix and more densely flurrying Dubbed Up Mix, selling fast.

MAJOR PROBLEMS ‘City Under Siege’ (US Nugroove NG-068
A typically instant seller, this Lenny Dee & Ralphie Dee created sombrely titled three-track instrumental EP has the strong percussion throbbed occasionally bleeping ‘Murder (25 To Life Mix)’ (123bpm), also percussive but unrelated rumbling fluttery ‘Manslaughter (First Degree Mix)’ (123bpm), and less forceful twittery phasing ‘Arson (4 Count Version)’ (121½bpm).

UBQ PROJECT ‘Into The Night’ (US House N Effect Records HNE 1190-1)
Created in Chicago (quite a novelty these days!) by Ron Trent, Terry Hunter & Aaron Smith, this piano pattered and bass pulsed effective enough if not terribly spectacular house instrumental is in Terry Hunter’s simple striding Night Mix (120½-102¾bpm), Ron Trent’s title line whispering Club Mix (120¾-120½bpm), Hunter & Trent’s throbbingly churning Into The Night pt. 1 ext (120½bpm) and calmly thrumming pt. 2 ext (117bpm), and Aaron Smith’s attractively atmospheric alternative slower lurchingly jogging Krazy Fingers Mix (108½bpm)

THE UNTOUCHABLES ‘Trippin’’ (122¼bpm) (US Strictly Rhythm SR 1225)
On a four-tracker created in Brooklyn by Kenny ‘Dope’ Gonzalez and edited by Todd Terry, this remorselessly thrumming and thudding monotonous simple bleeper and the much jauntier almost puppies yelped-like infectiously chugging ‘Yeah C’Mon’ (124bpm) comprise the UK side, coupled on US side with the jagged Black Riot-ish synth stabbed jerkily churning ‘Take A Chance’ (120½bpm) and the lurching percussion tapped monotonously burbling ‘I’m For Real’ (122bpm). Take your pick according to prejudice or preference.

UNDER COVER MOVEMENT ‘Moonstompin’’ (Strictly Underground Records STUR004, via 0708 760953)
Now also copying his nearby neighbour D-Zone Records’ habit of etching messages into the vinyl between the grooves, Mark ‘Masters Of The Universe’ Ryder combines Bassix ‘Close Encounters’-type tones with bursts of Symarip’s ‘Skin Head Moon Stomp’ to make a good if cynically commercial bleeper, in Dead Skinhead (120½bpm) and more fluidly chugging Freestyle (120¼bpm) Mixes.

D-SHAKE ‘My Heart, The Beat (Northside)’ (122¾bpm) Cooltempo COOLX 228)
Now it’s out commercially, the Belgians’ ‘Yaaaaaaah’-type but less brutal twittery droning industrial raver is flipped by two variations, the promoed much lighter jerkily bounding house-style ‘Dance The Night Away (Southside)’ (123bpm) with its alternative Inner City-ish female title line, plus (replacing the A-side’s 7” Edit) the new moodier thrumming instrumental ‘Trance Tracking’ (122¾bpm).

KYLIE MINOGUE ‘What Do I Have To Do (Pumpin’ Mix)’ (122bpm) (PWL Records PWLT 72)
Still sporting her late Fifties/early Sixties Roger Vadim sexpot look on the sleeve, sophisticated Kylie’s latest Stock Aitken Waterman creation is a “you, you, you”, “do, do, do” emphasising though otherwise fairly unmemorable jiggly Hi-NRG canterer (Instrumental flip).

PINKY ‘I Wanna Be The One’ (105½bpm) (1st Bass RUFF 9, via Rough Trade)
Emoted by a superb huskily soulful swooping and moaning Alexander O’Neal/Luther Vandross-ish singer, this Longsy D co-created funky drum tapped twittery repetitive doodling jiggler sadly doesn’t give him enough of a lyric with which really to get to grips, in Vocal-Mix 1, Vocal-Mix 2, Vocal Vibes, Instrumental Groove, and Instrumental versions.

THE SIMPSONS ‘Do The Bartman’ (Geffen GEF 87T, via WEA)
With Turtles-type kids appeal, the satellite TV cartoon characters’ Bart Simpson rapped breezy dancestep novelty is a Bryan Loren created smackingly rolling swingbeat-ish jiggler, in Swingin’ In The House (103¾bpm) and Bad Bart House (103½bpm) Mixes, plus an A Cappella. Its pop success could be taken as a test of satellite power.

TRINITI ‘Running Away’ (123¾bpm) (US Fourth Floor Records FF-1120)
Curt Jones & Drew Sadler’s pattering piano introed then urgently throbbing and bubbling canterer is chanted, cooed and wailed by some soulful girls (presumably three?) in its A-side’s Club Mix, with a B-side more bassily chugging instrumental Club Mix and tightly vocal Radio Mix, rhythmically quite exciting.

D-MELO ‘Justify, Satisfy (Club Mix)’ (98½bpm) (US Bassment Records BM-0078)
Craig Bevan and Barry Zeger’s similarly slinky answer version to Madonna’s US chart topping ‘Justify My Love’, this gruff guy’s rap comes in short spurts between an orgasmically groaning girl’s doodlingly wailed “justify, satisfy my love” (Radio Edit, Acappella, and instrumental Sweet Dreams rhythm track too), perhaps unlikely to cause as big a stir here as it is in the States, where not only club but also dance oriented radio jocks right across the country are currently creating their own Madonna megamixes with it.

DELAGE ‘Rock The Boat (Extended)’ (117½bpm) (Polydor/PWL Records PZ 113)
Produced by Stock Aitken Waterman in ‘Hit Man And Her Style’, this girl group’s breezily wriggling remake of the Huse Corporation/Forrest oldie begins with much “1,2,3,4” counting while another variation on L.A. Mix’s ‘Coming Back For More’ sax riff boosts the funky drum break beats (rather as also in the same stable’s recent King For A Day ‘Kick That Rhythm’) before reaching the familiar proper song, which the 7-inch Version launches straight into, coupled by the almost ridiculously frantic ‘I Wanna Be Your Everything’ (127¼bpm), a fascinating combination of influences ranging from Donna Summer to Mory Kanté and even some fiddling hoedown!

VANILLA ICE ‘Play That Funky Music’ (100¼bpm) (SBK 12SBK 20)
Already at least promoed if not released here in its original version as the 12-inch coupling to ‘Ice Ice Baby’ (in the US it had in fact begun as the A-side, until flipped by a Georgia radio jock!), this starkly jolting rap woven around the “play that funky music, white boy” chant from white funk group Wild Cherry’s 1976 hit makes appropriate material for the Pat Boone of rap, now newly remixed by Gail ‘Sky’ King in Sky King’s Funky Club Jam, Extended Vocal Mix and Groove Icetrumental, plus an ‘Ice Ice Baby/Play That Funky Music’ combining useful ‘Play That Funky Medley’ (111bpm). Personally, I’m still waiting for the Elvis Presley of rap!

THE iT ‘In This Place Called Nowhere’ (Big Life BLR 36T, via Rough Trade)
Classily produced by the ever dependable Larry Heard, this unrushed though frisky bounding strider has bursts of co-writer Harri Dennis’s philosophical muttering supported by the cool cooing of Kriss Coleman, in Yvonne Turner’s bass thumped Turner Bass and rambling less urgent Club Mixes (119¼bpm), plus Mark McGuire’s acappella started smoother Edit (120bpm).

ADVENTURES OF STEVIE V ‘Jealousy (Red Zone Mix)’ (118½bpm) (Mercury MERX 337)
Despite being remixed by David Morales, the latest Melody Washington cooed and occasionally Stevie V shouted surging fluid swinger is merely a pale reflection of ‘Dirty Cash (Money Talks)’, flipped by its ‘D’ Train-ish synth chorded more sturdily striding Red Zone Dub, plus the subdued jittery jolting ‘Weekend’ (116¼bpm).

BABY D ‘Day Dreaming’ (127bpm) (Production House PNT 019)
Created by DICE, this plaintively wailing girl cooed lightweight frisky bleeper is flipped with a more percussively rattling Can You Handle It Mix (plus an Acappella).

M.C. SAR and the real McCoy ‘It’s On You (UK Remix)’ (118¾-118½bpm) (ZYX Records ZYX 6422-12, via Spartan)
Played a bit by radio here, this pop aimed juddery lurching bright Euro rap with a catchy female chorus has been Snappily remixed by Mick Evans and Adam Fenton for the UK in far chunkier style, to judge from Mario Aldini’s yowling guitar introed wukka wukk-ing and pshta pshta-ing Re-Remix (118¼bpm) and 7-inch Re-Remix (118bpm) that remain as flip from the original German Freshline pressing’s Fresh Side.

HI-FIVE ‘I Like The Way (The Kissing Game)’ (104bpm) (US Jive 1424-1-JD)
Produced and co-penned by Teddy Riley but not the new jack swing you might be expecting, more a New Edition, this young male quintet’s vinyl debut is an attractive lush harmonies wrapped chunkily rolling romantic soul swayer with an immaturely pitched plaintive lead vocal (to give it kids appeal), and a nice rhythmlessly doodling outro in the main LP Version (7” Edit and Instrumental too), coupled by the hip hop clichés introed jigglier ‘Sweetheart’ (105bpm).
